Sales Predictions: Nicki Minaj To Top Billboard 200 Despite Sales Dip

Written by Trent | Filed under Charts,Nicki Minaj

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

Nicki Minaj predicted that ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ would outsell its ‘Pink Friday’ predecessor but judging by the available sales projections, the record will have an uphill battle. Still, regardless of the relatively slow start, Minaj will once again return to the top of the Billboard 200.

‘Roman Reloaded’ is predicted to enter the Billboard 200 at #1 with sales of 200-225K copies. In contrast, the original ‘Pink Friday’ sold 375K copies during the Thanksgiving sales rush of 2010 and debuted at #2 before eventually climbing to #1 on the listing. To date, the latter album has sold over 1.7 million copies in the US.

Minaj has promoted ‘Roman Reloaded’ with appearances on the ‘DJ Clue Show’, ’106 & Park’ and most recently, ‘The Breakfast Club’. The albums latest single, ‘Starships’, is currently ranked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. Read my review of ‘Roman Reloaded’ here!

   Plz Nicki is so fucking arrogant & full of herself these days. She thought the 5 yr olds were gonna hold her down. They went pop on purpose. Anyway the album is straight GARBAGE. I’m glad i heard it for free.
