Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ Certified Platinum

Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ album was released on April 3rd in the US and despite the remarkable succes of its ‘Pink Friday’ predecessor, the sales of the record have been far from impressive. Yet, the rapper did achieve a somewhat hollow victory today: ‘Roman Reloaded’ has been certified platinum in the US.
‘Roman Reloaded’ has officially shipped over 1 million copies in the US and earned a platinum certificated from the RIAA. However, the LP has only actually sold less than 545K copies at retail outlets in the US with consistent sales decline in each progressive week.
Hence, judging by current sales trends, ‘Roman Reloaded’ probably will not match the success of ‘Pink Friday’, which has thus far sold 1.84 million copies in the US since November 2010. In fact, the latter topped the 545K total of ‘Roman Reloaded’ in lass than three weeks.
To date, ‘Roman Reloaded’ has only generated a lone top 10 hit single on the Billboard Hot 100. ‘Starships’ has peaked at #5 on the chart whereas Minaj’s other releases, ‘Right by My Side (Ft. Chris Brown)’ and ‘Beez in the Trap’, stalled at #51 and #48, respectively.

SMH! BIRDMAN MMUST HAVE PLACED A BIG ORDER!
Her sales have increased this wk though.
The sophomore slump. Its not unheard of. Stop the hate Trent. Just because you don’t like her KMT I see you on twitter. Always shading.
Shipped not sold…Tell ‘em Trent. They ain’t ready though. It’s still your opinion just like it’s theirs to comment on YOUR blog.
Nicki still selling more than these other wannabes. Her last album was released on Black Friday and during the busiest time of the year. Nicki still has some hits left on this cd. Get your money Nicki!
She had a 41% increase this week. Can’t wait to see how much of a flop Kim will be.
I hated the album only a few tracks like Starships and sadly Stupid Hoe.
Good luck selling 1 million
Lol don’t u know that this is how ALL albums are certified platinum? By the units shipped? All a record label cares about is how much they sold/shipped. In Nicki’s case they sold 1 million. Its pretty hard to tell how much is actually sold in stores, but that does not matter because the record company sold 1 million of her records so they will get platinum status. That’s the way its done with ALL albums. So all those double platinum albums u see floating around, most of em didnt even sell it to actual customers, they shipped it to record stores. Its the way its always done. Trent always hating lol.
Congrats to Nicki for getting a 41% increase this week. Who’s winning! Platinum baby!
she isnt the only artis 2 get her certification this way in fact 3 of missy elliots album have til not sold a million copies in the us butther certified and most artist get there certification off shippin and kims albums didnt sell a mil when they were certified
Yes it is shipping but their shouldn’t be a huge disparity between actual sales. Over shipping means you didn’t meet retail and label expectations and somebody wasted a ton of money.
This album should be gold- plain and simple.
*waits for stans to say so and so does it too* True and I still disagree.
I assume it’s based on shipments because of the Pre-soundscan

I assume it’s based on shipments because of the Pre-soundscan era where they couldn’t track sales.
Congrats to her Minajesty. and for the haters, suck a mean dick. and that also goes for Trent
POOR SOULS/POOR BARBZ!!! THEY JUST DONT GET IT!
edit shipments means they are in demand and people will buy the cd . “Ayo all i do is win, ain’t that the reason why you really mad?” – Nicki Minaj
WHY ARE YOU LAMES TRYNA DISCREDIT HER? SHE CLEARLY SOLD A MILLION ALBUMS AS I KNEW SHE WOULD AND NOW BOTH OF HER ALBUMS WENT PLATINUM, NOW NAME ANY OTHER RAPPER OTHER THAN ARTISTS IN ymcmb DOIN NUMBERS LIKE THAT. SEE, IT DON’T MATTER WHAT LIES YOU IDIOTS TELL, NUMBERS DON’T LIE, AND I BET IT GOES DOUBLE PLATINUM ONCE EVERYBODY HEARS “CHAMPION”. SO, SHOUT OUT NIKI MINAJ AND THE WHOLE YMCMB. by the way, are you doin anything close to what she’s doin in her life, if the answer is no, SHUT UP AND STOP HATIN ON A PERSON WHO’S CLEARLY DOIN BETTER THAN YOU
by the way, trent, how much money you make compared to my girl nik, Exactly, shut yo broke ass up, lol
The Nicki fans are funny.
IN THE WORDS OF NICKI MINAJ, WE SHIP PLATINUM. THEM BITCHES IS SHIPPING WOOD. stop worrying about nicki minaj and worry about your favorite arist and why some of them didn’t even make gold yet. OH?!
She shipppped 450,000 extra copies of her album that have been untouched! SMH!
FUCK WHAT U HOE ASS NIGGAS IS SAYING!! THE KING REIGNS… KIM CAN HAVE THAT QUEEN TITLE ITS PLATINUM PERIOD!!!!! IT TOOK BEYONCE LAST ALBUM A MIN, TOO?! SO WHAT!??
riaa doesn’t lie.. so what’s your point? the album is in high demand she has 4 singles coming and her tour hasn’t even hit the US yet LMFAO @ y’all thinking she wasn’t gonna go plat sooner or later… WTF
no one should be surprised that she went plat. c’mon, it’s nickiii, she wins, you lose. hahahahaha.
ofcourse RBMS & Beez in the Trap are hip-hop songs which explains their low stats on BILLBOARD.. whenever I say this ppl don’t get it! Nicki knows what she’s doing everyone wants her to fall into that trap to strictly pleasing “HARDCORE HIPHOP FANS” but they don’t buy records!! ironically her “poppy” Starships track is the only top 10 she’s had this era!!! get off her dick & worry about Kim’s mother goose lyrics about her dry pussy ### I’m OUTTT
ahahahahhaha! @Z00mi That pussy OLD, that pussy CREAKYYYY. And these hater’s pussy to dry to be riding nicki’s dick like this.
PLATINUM BABY! FUCK YOU GOTTA SAY ABOUT THAT????
