Ok and you're commenting again because.... This is like your 4th time in here

I've commented no more than one time per update (prior to this post), and I've never made a 100% negative comment on Nicki on ATRL, let alone this thread. Feel free to look through my post history. I don't know why you're making it look like I'm obsessed.

Honestly, get over yourself and out of this thread. All we're doing is celebrating that Nicki outdid the predictions and managed to sell 250K. Leave.

Comments such as "Where are the haters now?" and "Queen stays winning" (that take place outside of this thread, not only in here) is a bit more than celebrating. I congratulated Nicki on outdoing her predictions, and she has proven those who completely underestimated her wrong. I'm just putting forth my opinion in the same way you're allowed to put forth yours.

So what do they count the sales + streaming over the sales chart? This **** still confuses the life outta me lol

Billboard has two separate charts now -- Top Album Sales (which is just pure album sales) and the newly revised Billboard 200 (which combines album sales, stream-equivalent albums, and track-equivalent albums).

SEA: 1500 streams = 1 album sale
TEA: 10 track downloads = 1 album sale

I thought PFRR did 275k! Even better for Pinkprint I guess

i think her predictions were off because of that Target debacle. Once they had everything stocked people really wanted it I guess

Pink Friday did 375K
PFRR did 250K

Queen

At this point, I'm convinced Nicki could have sold 500K and these same pigeons would be squawking 'bout some "But did she outsell Taylor? She's over."

The pettiness is just so embarrassing.

Horrible sales for Nicki. The Sales + Streams make over don't buy me.

Not horrible. Underwhelming but not horrible.

Taylor is always blocking Nicki Minaj . Ugh.

But I can see Nicki Minaj album going gold in 2 weeks and platinum in February.

Taylor has a grip on taht #1...not sure if she's letting go.

2k of PFRR numbers

The actual sales for TPP are horrid, but the final numbers look nice thanks to TEA inflating them.

Too bad she missed that top spot, though. That's all labels/artists care about first week. This isn't good for her brand.

Not horrible just underwhelming consider the 8 month promo plan pre album and promo blitz album week.

That said, those streaming points are amazing


Whether you love or hate the new rules I think THIS will probably be the first week that will show the difference good or bad under the new streaming rules.

She's literally getting a total that (matches my predictions all year) but also matches her prior effort and a new peak, per new Billboard methodology.

You forgot SEA. She's lucky she has viral hit Anaconda fueling her sales.

YouTube isn't factored into SPS/BB200.

You're opinions aren't necessary right now.

...and??? Still a streaming fueled hit (iirc) that is contributing to her total sales.

Let's be clear yes she has 4-5 videos that help her SEA and TEAs; however, 200k is not horrible it's just underwhelming for an artist that spent 8 months promoting and did a promo blitz album week. That doesn't equate to horrible sales. Horrible is not the same as underwhelming which is more accurate.

That said, your girl is #1 regardless including SEAs/TEAs. She would be #1 regardless but still


It's good that SEAs/TEAS give Nicki a new peak. Still not #1 due to your fave but hey. It's better than #3.

[Ozzy8923]

200k is very good. I said 150k is what I expected at the least, so this is well above that so...

[Ozzy8923]

Either way, she sold 50K albums with streams which means ~75,000,000 streams (not counting YT), since 1 album is 1.5K streams.

[ririfan21]

That streaming!

ONIKA!

No, that figure includes both TEA and SEA.

Taylor added 45k to her total and her album isn't on Spotify.

Nicki's debut album debuted at #2, honey b.

She won't go PLATINUM at all, so get that out of your head to not cause further disappointment.

And going gold in two weeks is extremely laughable, January is when album sales reach an all time low. She may reach gold by the summer if then...

[Vlad Spears]

So once again, what does Billboard count lol - the s+s or what..

[Crystal.]

Where'd the 50k streams come from besides Spotify.. What else.
