But wait isn't she rolling out promo all week? There's streams and performances. Im not worried though, hell even if she doesnt debut at #1 she can pull a PF and rise to #1. Dont forget Kayne blocked her when she released PF. Imma stay positive.
There's no excuse when Nicki sold 375k her debut week
It's okay though im sure all the azealans will rally behind her for that big 2nd album opening week
Nicki´s debut was really impressive. But you cant expect artists to sell much with their debuts these days. Iggy will never have that loyal urban fanbase.
Less than 200k in the US, flop with singles, floppage worldwide too (is already falling in some countries)... the fact we are in December and January is coming just make things even worse since the time she have to get good sales is now...
so did the monsters
they even wanted Duca to change the title to Rap Emergency to mimic his iconic Pop Emergency
Thank you. The only ones going off were the ones who jumped ship. Everyone that stayed, heard the album, saw how the era was going and new the numbers would be trifling.
She needs to release 'Shanghai' as a single, and she'll be doing 1989
#'s.
This is decent though. I was expecting 175K give or take some.
Her and Gaga's careers are kinda similar.
Except Gaga's situation was less about underperforming sales and more about the entire media being perched for her fall.
Nicki is fine. Selling about what was expected, singles performing fine, and most importantly, quality of music at its peak, critical acclaim included.
Production issues, pushback, and the album sales climate is absolutely terrible. I'm not really surprised.
I thought she'd do at least 200k, but honestly it is whatever. I got the masterpiece of an album that I wanted and it's clear that the era won't be over for awhile regardless of how much she sells.
She still is going to open up with the third biggest sales for a female rapper this decade (only behind herself, ha!) and, as long as she does 152,000, she'll outsell 6 other female rap albums' first weeks this decade combined.
Charli deserves more these are good #s for her tho.
Why are Nicki stans dragging TNC first week sales because of Fancy? I think Fancy started smashing AFTER the album was out and the song did sell the album so you can't really count it on the FW sales.
