US Charts: Nicki Minaj Nears Top 10 Exit

Written by Trent | Filed under Adele,Charts,Flo Rida,Justin Bieber,Kelly Clarkson,Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj's 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' deluxe edition cover.

Nicki Minaj said that starships were meant to fly but her ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ album has crashed and burned. In fact, the record has plummeted on the Billboard 200 and will soon exit the top 10 of the chart.

Released just four weeks ago, ‘Roman Reloaded’ has sold only 414K copies in the US. The record moved just 32K units this week and tumbled to #8 on the lineup, despite the release of her ‘Starships’ video last week. That song, on the other hand, has risen to #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

By comparison, Minaj’s debut album, ‘Pink Friday’, surpassed the sales figures of ‘Roman Reloaded’ in just two weeks. To date, the record has sold over 1.83 million copies in the US and is certified platinum by the RIAA.

See the leading releases in the top 10 of both Billboard 200 and the Hot 100 below:

  LOL… after all the shit she was talking about how it was gonna sell SO many more copies than “PF”, her 3rd album will be the nail in her lead artist career.
  The album is also predicted to drop to #10 in the UK on next weeks chart.
  
  P.S LOL at the UNwanted flopping after they tried to come for LEGENDtina.
- DRB
  
  Guess her 5 million ain’t happening.
- pisces2g
  
  Let’s hope her auditorium plays can generate attention to this pig slop of a pop album, never mind the hip hop tracks those get a pass even tho they are forgettable. By this time next year we will have atleast a handful of female rappers on our hands, what then King Minaj? Lol

  The bigger kii is The Wanted’s debut numbers. dead. Cursetina struck hard.
- Girrrl
  
  let’s talk about Madonna’s numbers….
- olly
  
  loool, Trent stop tryna come for her album sales. Its far from a flop but yes, its underperformed. But in the long it will definitely outsell pink friday WW, and she’ll definitely reach 1.5-2m in america by years end. She hasnt even released the strongest singles yet.
  
  The album may suck, but its very commercial.

  I love Adele and 21 is a great album, but, I’m surprised it’s still in the top 10.

  Nicki Minaj did better than madonna and most artist out right now. She’s doing her thing !!!! she’ll sell more as time goes on. Nicki’s not worrying about it, so why are you?
- http://www.twitter.com/ThatBoyLuke ThatBoyLuke
  
  @Girrrl, Don’t worry about Madonna’s numbers… “MDNA” has already sold over 1,000,000 ww with no promo on release and the only numbers Madonna is worried about is the $500,000,000+ she’ll be collecting when her soon to be record breaking tour wraps up.
- itgirlJazz
  
  @ThatBoyLuke so stop worrying about Nicki and worry about Flopdonna. Nicki’s Good, Her sales are better than most of your favs and it will continue to grow. And when she goes on tour, then it’s a wrap.
- itgirlJazz
  
  Nicki’s tour will be Big, everything she do is big. You might not like, but she’s winning. this song is selling, so don’t worry about my girl. she’s fine and dandy
- Girrrl
  
  Damn I can’t ask questions anymore? Whatever
- http://www.twitter.com/ThatBoyLuke ThatBoyLuke
  
  @ItGirlJazz, you must be trippin… MDNA has sold more than “PF RR” already and this is Madonna’s TWELFTH album and Nicki’s SECOND lol…
  Not to mention that by the time her tour is wrapped up Madonna will have made more than Nicki will in her entire lifetime.
- itgirlJazz
  
  @ThatBoyLuke hating ain’t work, so now you gotta tell lies ? Nicki’s Album surpassed Oldanna’s lame album. but you can keep telling yourself otherwise. it’s ok, and Nicki Minaj is making Money, don’t worry about that. she has endorsements, she’s doing features, shows and her tour. she’s not worried about modanna or anyone elso for that matter. but for some reason you are ?

  Starships were meant to floooooop
- itgirlJazz
  
  @Real nusic supporter, starships were meant to flooooop just like your mother !!! starships is almost triple plat. man, that’s why you mad ?!

  LMAO you guys are killin me on this post omgggggggggg Flopdonna and Cursetina Starships were meant to flop. Only you guys
- real music supporter
  
  Damn you Nicki fans worried about a damn single…go buy your fave’s album…did that bitch even go gold yet? I saw her on twitter begging amazon to give her that 1 dollar deal lol smh…#TheStruggleisreal
- RealNick
  
  Nicki Minaj went platinum in 10 different countries already. And she surpassed gold status in the U.S. just because her singles are selling doesn’t mean her album isn’t. By the end of the year Nicki’s Roman Reloaded will sell more than her Pink Friday……. And for that 1 dollar deal, she was thinking about some of her fans who don’t have the money to buy her album.
- YALLMAD
  
  AM I MISSING SOMETHING? GOLD IN 5 WEEKS SHE’S ON TRACK TO OUTSELL HER DEBUT… WHERE’S THE FLOP? U HATERS ARE PRESSED… NICKI ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2ND FEMALE RAPPER TO PERFORM SOLO AT THE GRAMMYS, 2 MAC CAMPAIGNS, PEPSI AD, SUPERBOWL? TELL UR FAVE TO CATCH UP!!!!
- Tracy
  
  I’m a Nicki fan, but I liked Pink Friday better. It was different from any music I’ve ever heard. I wish she would stick to one form of music because it’s kinda confusing me. The new album was only half good for me, whereas Pink Friday I liked all the songs.
- Tookai
  
  Poor Nicki. She talks a big game but can’t deliver. She can’t sing and for a negress, she’s a TERRIBLE dancer and now she has a flop album and this album was supposed to smash! smfdh!
- Tookai
  
  Poor Nicki and her flop second album. Nicki’s tour is gonna flop big time.
