Hip-Hop icon Lil Kim.

Did you know that Lil Kim has yet to score a #1 album on the Billboard 200?

None of Kim’s albums have topped the Billboard 200 and her highest-charting released in the US, ‘The Notorious K.I.M.’, peaked at #4 on the lineup. Even her top-selling LP, ‘Hard Core’, was unable to climb pass its #11 plateau.

‘Hard Core’ has thus far been certified 2x platinum by the RIAA. Meanwhile, ‘The Notorious K.I.M.’ and ‘La Bella Mafia’ have both reach platinum status. However, her most recent release, 2005′s ‘The Naked Truth’, has not even been certified gold in the US.

Watch the video for one of Kim’s most popular songs, ‘The Jump Off (Ft. Mr. Cheeks)’, below:

  Her last album wasn’t certified Gold because she left her label shortly after its release. So Atlantic had no reason to spend the money to have the album certified by the RIAA

  *waits for nicki stans to come and use this to justify why she is better than kim*
- mmmh errr
  
  but the music was daaaamn good tho… who care she didn’t make the billboard top. Lord knows the most popular choices aren’t always the most quality ones.

    but y’all try to use that as reasons why Kim is the GOAT? Remember ? When foxy was out ppl were saying “Sh’ell never have kims success” even though the WORLD knows she’s the better rapper with more lyrical content !

  @shaytan
  
  True, I hate how her last album has surpassed the sales of a Gold plaque but they won’t certify it. Kim’s label should request a financial report for the current sales and a certification by the RIAA.

  Nicki slays Kim’s life over and over again, 7 songs on Billboard, #1 album in 4 countries, more # hits than Kim could ever dream of, her own Barbie, Pepsi commercial, her own Adidas, Superbowl. I could go on but I dont wanna hurt the Lil Krimlins.

    A fine effort, but what about 5,000 years of gold being the wodlrs primary currency up until 1971 when the U.S. broke its promise to the world in the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement to keep the U.S. Dollar as good as gold through backing by gold bullion held in reserve at the U.S. Federal Reserve? Since that time, the U.S. Dollar has simply been a fiat currency with no real value, and since all other major currencies used to be pegged to the U.S. Dollar, now all other currencies in the world are also fiat currencies with no real value. The world has experienced more booms and busts in the past 38 years all due to the world now being run on currencies that float in an unstable manner with nothing of real, hard value backing them. Never before in human history have all the wodlrs currencies floated freely against one another. Distortions are everywhere as a result, leading the human herd mentality toward ever more irrational exuberance more frequently. Malinvestment and economic crises can only ensue naturally in such an unstable monetary environment. To fix the global economy once and for all, the U.S. needs to bring back a form of the gold standard to the U.S. Dollar to correct the regretful mistake the US made back on August 15, 1971.

  A useless fact, she still had hits. Does it matter she never hit #1.

  And? So what? Just because their album doesn’t reach a 1# spot on the charts doesn’t make the artist credibile? Please. You forgot to mention that Lil’ Kim was the FIRST female rapper to have her name in a 1# HOT 200 Billboard position.
  
  Her album, Hardcore, done a fantastic job as a debut album, especially since it was exploring themes of sexual liberation for women- one of the first female rappers to do so.
  
  Plus, her duet with 50 Cent, Magic Stick, peaked at #2 on the HOT 200, and the fact she’s had 7 1# songs, both solo and featured, on the Rap Charts is a huge achievement.
  
  I hate when people, or blogs, chose to broadcast people’s failures, yet whisper their successes.
  
  Long live the Queen!

  LOL at the Nicki stans… yeah she has two No1 albums but does she have a 2x platinum album and annother two platinum albums??? nope…
  This always makes me lol when people call Rihanna a flop because she hasn’t got a No1 album in the US but her albums keep going Platinum…
  - FAF
    
    how long did it take Kim to do that?
    
    Ppl just started caring & counting sales in the last 10 yrs
    
    ofcourse kim album is double platinum after nearly 20 yrs, UGLY BIGNOSE !
    
    Nicki first album is double plat . RR is platinum RIAA certified !

  And? What is this article trying to prove? It reeks of ‘one-upmanship’ on Lil’ Kim and why are people researching into Kimberley Jones discography trying to find evidence to diss her? …..Making out that trophies and awards mean ‘something’.
  
  Platinum or not Lil’ Kim is Legendary and no-one will ever compare to such an icon of rap. She will continue being the Queen and female Icon of Rap and Billboard or any other ‘chart’ certification will not prove otherwise.
  
  Popular ‘recent’ female rappers nowadays have ‘throwaway’ repetitive, undeveloped music. If you research female rap ever since the 70′s you’ll see how the ‘talent’ has remained at Lil’ Kims witty lyricism.
  
  Google ‘Queen Bee 101′ and realise a degree was based upon Lil’ Kims verses and how she references art, lifestyle and fashion within her songs. Other females have since copied her but they come off as being a pale comparison.
