yeah I thought it was interesting that she went that route considering she went out of her way to go against it for the 4 era.
Maybe it's a one off

Btw Super Bass charted the urban charts before the chart chnage in 2013 that added pop point to the genre charts which is the only reason why Fancy and Wack Widow even charted the Rap charts

not Lance bass. that was big for the moment.
Wrong again.
Fancy charted on the rap charts because it was already big on pop and rhythmic.
Typically urban songs crossover on top 40 once they hit #1 on their format but Fancy had the reverse effect which added to its longevity.
it took off on pop and rhythmic first and then towards the end of the summer/early fall peaked on urban. that wasn't the case for Lance bass or any of the other crossover rap songs you listed.
You tried though

Fancy's views on youtube are major as well.
The fact that Iggy is undeniable the most hated and experiencing the biggest backlash this year as its cool to hate on her.
Nicki had additional promo for her song ranting about nomination snubs mid summer and then purchased the hip hop video award and is the newer song of the two and still the sales are lower.
So one had a video that was big for a moment and the other had both a video and song that will become a crossover classic.
Fancy always wins

Yeah PF did do 3.8M WW with her debut doing 1.9M in the us
then her 2nd era 1.6/7M worldwide (over 50% decrease) 900k in the us (1M people less)
then her recent era 900k WW (40ish % decrease) 675k will probably finish around 700-725k (25% decrease)
No bueno
Drake has been bigger for a much longer time.
her Tinashe and Tove are the new trinity
