etc

Plus the whole fake drama with her boyfriend and killing herself.Oh yeah, hoeing herself in the Anaconda video.

A year full promo and only 200k, yea somebody losin dough

These shows put celebrities on for free, and sometimes they pay them to come on.

201 K 1st week in 2014 is far from a flop.

Her 1st album did 375 the 1st week,2nd did 253K

200 records are solid numbers still.

So with every album she sells less records...for a new artist with all her hype and the machine behind her that's a flop....let Jay z sell 200k first week and niggas think he lost his touch...

Come on now... Jay-z's Hard Knock Life Vol. 2 has sold double, triple, quadruple, and five times more than some of his other albums, but it would be crazy for anybody to use that to take away from the sales that his other albums had, so it's crazy to say that Nicki is falling off just because all her albums don't sell the same numbers. If Nicki consistently drops albums that produce platinum singles and gold and platinum plaques every year or two, and she stays in for 20 years or more the way that many rappers seem to be doing now, she will end up with a good career. James Brown used this exact strategy to build an iconic career, so there's no reason for it not to work for Nicki.

Some Motown artists had albums that sold millions more than James Brown, and when Prince and Michael Jackson came around, James Brown's album release sales in the years they dropped albums weren't even in the same league as their sales, but James Brown just kept dropping albums that went gold and platinum, so nobody ever forgot about him. Nicki is currently the only female rapper putting out gold and platinum albums, so if this trend continues, it's safe to say that some people in the future will call Nicki an icon, a pioneer, and a legend; and many music shows will honor her. Nicki will win by default.

She ended up doing 250k with her streams added. Probably those Youtube views of Anaconda that helped her. lol

 

[GetoBoy]

Only rappers I TRULY expect every time they drop to do better numbers then what Nicki just did are Jay, Em, Wayne, and probably Drake and Ye....anybody else in rap if they doing 200-250k I can't call that a flop cuz I don't care if they are on every TV and award show on TV in 2014-15 when it comes to numbers I have low expectations for everybody but the names I mentioned

 

[nickel-us P]

Those are good numbers tho

 

[macadonwoo]

I really don't get how 200 k is a flop these days..... people going double copper.

 

[marc123]

I lol when i saw her on sportscenter.... i was like "Why she on here? Gay ppl dont watch sportscenter."

 

[Bcotton5]

I really don't get how 200 k is a flop these days..... people going double copper.

you know these niggas couldnt wait to make this thread, all of a sudden they care about record sales again

 

[dalyricalbandit]

a PORN tape deluxe version wouldve given it another 75-150k more sells.

Nicki holla at me ill have you selling

 

[usmarin3]

I really don't get how 200 k is a flop these days..... people going double copper.

So if Wayne, Jay, Ye, Drake,etc put out a album and it only did 200k plus, ya'll wouldn't call it a flop?

They could put out a album today with little to no promo like J Cole did and i guarantee you they doing 450-500k and don't need to be on every tv channel pumping it.

She's a Female MC , You know any other ones putting up those numbers???

If anyone says Iggy I will go back in time and fuck your mom's!

 

[MasterJayN100]

It is a flop relatively speaking.Those are a Wale type artist numbers. Someone who doesn't have the media outlets that Nicki got.

No it's not.. Wale never even done 200k before.. She did around 250k last time with a hit single. This is still good

Word?

Talking about 1st week sales bruh.

i listen to all of wale albums

 

[soul rattler]

Iggy Azalea sold 52 K copies her 1st week.......

That's 50 K more than what she should have sold.

With a 2K margin of error

Nicki is featured on Madonna's lead single "Bitch, I'm Madonna" (not kidding... that is currently the name of the song) which is produced by Diplo (Major Lazer and Katy Perry's current boyfriend)

The single leaked early and doesn't sound totally mastered yet but Madonna usually equals cash which should spur Nicki's album sales as well if Madonna can get ahead of her album leaks

UPDATE: Madonna just officially dropped single on iTUNES

Nonsense. She has a lane basically to herself. Along with Iggy. Plus the promo and money that's pumped into her brand, that's underachieving.

Because she is making the same money as them (aside from Jay). Got just as much if not more endorsement and better PR. This chick was on American Idol for god sakes. When do you really ever see Wayne, Drake, Ye, Jay all over tv, radio,etc like that unless they are promoting a album?
