So, if an artist going double platinum for a single and sells 2 million singles on iTunes, that's only a million dollars generated. Not much


Shiiiit!

Only ? lol Ill take 1 million dollars

[Kim Kardashian]

Half of what Jaywan said is incorrect & honestly Nicki has no reason to care that much about her music sales.
She has other ventures making her money.

[YM8]

Lets be honest ...

Pinkprint is indeed Nickis best work so far Its her more flawless album yet

BUT her sales are indeed concerning, loved the album to death and will be playing it for the next couple months but her sales decrease each release is really not good.

As fans for sure we care about the music but as an artist its not encouraging seeing those declines and shell never say it but yeah it does bother her

For those just waking up to the **** storm on my our timeline, the official first week sales projections for Nicki Minaj's new album came in

Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 10m 10 minutes ago
And she's only gonna do 155k and that includes the new Billboard calculation system which now includes streams and downloads.

Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 10m 10 minutes ago
So the reality of the situation is that she really only sold about 69k of physical copies off the shelves and on iTunes sales. #FLOPPED

What else can you call it when your album sales go from 350,000, second album goes to 225,000, and your last album only sells 155,000?

Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 2h 2 hours ago
The numbers don't lie. Every single album has atleast a 100% Album sales DECREASE. You have to call it what it is...

Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 2h 2 hours ago
Nicki Minaj's new album just sold 220,000 LESS than what her debut album sold. Pretty sure you're supposed to sell more by the 3rd album.

Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 2h 2 hours ago
A FLOP is when the label invests more into your album than they actually recoup back from your album sales.

Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 2h 2 hours ago
A FLOP is when you have a $3 million budget to record and market your album and then when you only generate $2million in revenue back.

Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 44m 44 minutes ago
Here's what the stans dont understand: Sales from singles don't generate that much revenue. Labels only keep 50 cents of the 99 cent sale

Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 44m 44 minutes ago

LOL at the amount of lies in just 1 twitter account. Especially the part of "69K sold, the rest is TEAs". Talk about knowing ****. And all these assumptions made out of a prediction. LOL. Embarrassing

Wait? If every allbum has 100% decrease wouldn't that mean that her sales would be right on point ? Also if Target didn't put the album on shelves on the 15th wouldn't HDD be wrong because they only count first day sales?

Or maybe Big Daddy

I got an interesting reply after including Favorite lyrics. It was from a Black guy and he was like "where you at." After that I see how the Nicki Base acts on Grindr

If she decreased 100% with each album PF:RR, TRU & The Pinkprint wouldn't sell anything at all

Wait no one is concerned with the fact that Nicki just had one of the most aggressive album campaigns in like forever and shes set to move 155-165K ....

J Cole did north of 300K and he barely promoted he announced his new album without hype less than 2 months ago

She needs to fix her reputation. No more Anacondas.

There's a lot that can be said regarding this but I think the biggest thing is that some need to realize that the GP isn't here for Onika as much as they thought.

[SneakerNerd]

And with my hate for it aside, Pills N Potions was such a stupid lead single choice.

I know that. I am just saying. This is obviously not the kind of track the GP -especially the rap community who is the one anticipating the album the most- would want to hear after her giving us the bad bitch attitude prior to the first single. I mean ok, she released the mellow PnP, that's ok, but I personally thought she should have taken advantage of songs like Feeling Myself which are SCREAMING "hits", just for the sake of shutting the **** up of most people like ATRLers or even waking up the GP.

Inb4 y'all go "Music not the bling " on me. Yeah, I could care less about the sales atm, I just want TPP to rightfully shine and not let the potential successful singles slip away.

!!

Tbh after Boss Ass Bitch and LAN I was expecting some kind of Shanghai as a lead single. But I still trust Onika, I believe she won't pay dust to the potential singles.

Inb4 next single is The Night is Still Young

At the end of the day, Nicki's still getting money.
It's her label that's hit the hardest if the album flops (and given that it's set to do My Everything numbers with only a fraction of the promo and single success, it's not that bad).
Nicki has other ventures & is rich enough to make and release music independently.

This. It was stupid to get everybody hype with LAN, Chi-Raq, NFZ, etc. then release PNP.

This especially listening to the album now what in the hell would make her even think that PNP even needs to be on the album and I want to scalp her from here to Aruba for thinking it was cool to release Anaconda.

Yeah that's nice and all for her to be getting money BUT when labels sees a substantial loss, that's what leads to artists being dropped. I don't foresee that happening to her but I'm sure they were expecting bigger opening numbers than this.

Longevity is key. For an artist of Nicki's caliber, there's no excuse for as to why this shouldn't go platinum.

Hopefully Nicki doesn't have to because going the route she's going she'll be releasing a EP to actually make an album and dear god I hope that never has to happen

[Robbyyy]

TPP is her best work & it deserves to be at least semi successful. I have no doubt about the rest of the singles helping out the era, but her pre-album singles did not & that's a fact.

I'm not going to say they hurt the era, but they definitely did not help it. I'm sure this will all be fine in the end, but someone of her status should be selling like the huge rapper she is.

The Target & UK fiasco are horrible situations that she can't control & I refuse to be upset with her about them. But hopefully these future singles push the era harder than it was pushed before.
