Apparently all the songs she released weren't released in the UK. And the "glitches"... everyone knew about those and it make them not want to buy the album!

Surely, it HAS to be because of the glitches EVERYONE knew about...

Top 22 album

[jinzo]

The 'no promo' line is NOT an excuse! She was the host (and performed at) the EMAs in Glasgow, UK. She COULD have booked an X Factor live performance easily.

She has just declined a lot. Going from #1 to #22 in such a short space of time is statistical means to say that she is now over.

she did absolutely no UK promo, this is very disappointing, she had 2 top 5 singles preceding the album, then goes and debuts at #22

Wait really?!!!!!! I thought this whole era was a wash in the UK. Idk she had hits there this year, Nicki girl wtf is this era

Not sure about the US...

But he's well over 1.4 million in the UK

sweet molassus! and he is only in his 3rd single this era!!! watch when he releases the Bloodstream song! along with the remixed version omg! and then possibly another single...this album is for sure going to sell 2 million UK copies. plus he is also growing a lot in the US! 1.5 million US copies seems realistically

The whole chart is out. How do we get the sales?

Really? Because #1 to #22 is tragic

Apparently YOU have been expecting this for a long time, from what everyone can see

TPP didn't have that much promo in the UK compared to her previous era and of course it was nowhere near Pop that PFRR is.

Bye now sis and since you're at it, put Nicki in your sig!

Chris Brown is BANNED from the UK. He is not allowed there period, and the last promo he's done in the UK (or last time he was even there period) was 6 years ago in 2008. None of his singles were as big there as Anaconda and and X is even more Urban with even less pop than TPP and yet it debuted at #4

[Bunifah]

Well, Nicki is underperfoming quite a bit isnt she?

[chilicheese01]

That sucks.

It's evident that Nicki needs to put out more Starships and Super Basses for success over there.

[Whiskey Mouth]

Oh my god, Nicki...

NOBODY in this thread is talking or cares about Chris Brown, so stop talking about him. Stay on topic, he makes a completely different kind of music to what we're talking about here. Now SIT and stop quoting me.

Did she though? NO, so YOUR line is not an excuse.

I wouldn't say she's over but yes you are right about everything else.

Let's pretend that she didn't put out 4-5 videos and features...her hosting and performing at the EMAs and plugging her album while hosting was a promotional tool as well.

I don't think she did enough promo to go to #1 but I would have hoped for top 10.

I know you didn't. He is just a good example of how null and void those "excuses" are You can't use the no promo excuse when Nicki was literally just hosting and performing at the EMA's there a few months ago and people who haven't promoted there in years are still managing top 5 debuts. You can't use the "not pop enough" excuse when people who's material is even more urban are still managing top 5 debuts

Chris just happens to be an example of someone who proves how nonsense they are

Regardless if there wasn't any promo, a non-top 20 debut for Nicki is just bad

[IBeMe]

Barbz can we just admit that this isnt performing well...I have no doubt in my heart that it will re peak in the UK though. didnt Rated R debut in a weak position? and then it slowly entered the top 10.

I've said this before: The Pinkprint deserved a separate campaign for the UK.

If she pushed it with The Night Is Still Young as a single it could've done a lot better.

I agree. Once she promotes more over there, I think it'll repeak top 15.

The no promo excuse is kind of weak tbh. Chris' X debuted top 5, and he is literally BANNED from the UK and hasn't stepped foot or promoted there since like 2008

true

My Nicki

THIS.

Barbz don't want to admit it but go in threads like this for other artist and shade them for sales.
It's better to accept it and hope for the best...instead they are on the defense and playing victim.

This is an underwhelming number but I do think it'll repeak. Just not sure it will go top 5/10 when repeaking.

She has the crying game, the night is 2011 again and any other mid tempo that can perform well there.

This is December. A #20 in December is a top 5 in any other month
