Kanye, Nicki Minaj could have strong first week salesThey've teamed up together on a single for his latest project, and now the pair stand poised to take over the charts. Billboard is reporting that rappers Kanye West and Nicki Minaj are projected to have a big week with their respective albums. West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" could sell as many as 550,000 units by November 28, which would see him crowned No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Meanwhile, Minaj's debut album, "Pink Friday," is reportedly on track to sell more than 400,000. According to Billboard, such an achievement could mark the best sales week for a female hip-hop artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. If she does well enough, Minaj could topple the record currently held by Lauryn Hill, whose album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" launched with 423,000 sold in 1998. |

Fantastic points altogether, you simply gained a new reader. What could you suggest in regards to your post that you simply made a few days in the past? Any certain?
Kanye nicki minaj could have strong first week sales.. Slap-up 🙂
All music has gone down, But I'm still a Fan and a underground artist, http://www.undadirt.com and youtube/undadirt music , and youtube/algebra2go rap
first week sales are people who like u, 2nd week are people who grew to like you, her music will not gain NO MORE PEOPLE. thanks to lil wayne and baby she has fooled the couple of hundred thousand she has now
nicki cant tought lauren hill sorry, thats garbage. even if she sells big her first week 2nd week will be a big drop, cant cant gain anymore fans than she already has from young money
*your
I love Nicki, but sorry, in my opinion her album stinks.. pewww. Lil Kim is Ok, Im not on neither side but her Classics (Kims) is better than Nicki's new songs. Some of the things she says does not make sense, is this what Rap/Hip-Hop has come to today. I'm going back to my classics like Tupac, Biggie, JayZ.. I rather listen to them. Sorry to say she is not gonna be rapping for long.
I luv nicki she kicks ass !!!
Pink Friday is on 24hrs a day 🙂
I never skip a track, I enjoy every one of her songs. Thanx for the exciting album, it gave me goose bumbs the first time I played it... Awesome LOL. God bless u all
Lots of hugs an kisses
Call me crazy but I think Nicki will take the No.1 spot with first week sells of 1 million or close to. Also I bought "My Beautiful Dark Fantasy" and "Pink Friday" and I must say both albums are remarkable.
Predictions on Kanye on our Celebs911.com
He is a nice man, but his behavior is driven by pain that he holds inside him since he was three years old. Read the entire article:

On Nicki Minaj: Buttoms up!:) love the song..
get to that http://www.SUPERSONIC.US.COM
there is a lot of stupidity on here. plain and simple.
dude someone should tell kanye NO BODY CARES anymore, he is an annoying rerun of golden girls, except they have more of a future
550,000+ obviously care. honestly you're opinion of him doesn't change the fact that he makes music that people like and music that is just as creative and different as others are saying it is. Listen to the album before you talk, and if you don't like that type of music then just don't talk about it at all.
Reading the comments down below makes me wanna facepalm myself. Please learn to put a decent sentence together, its very sad. Please go learn some sentence structure.
PS. Nicki Manaj is not good music. Its a piece of cookie cutter gaga crap.
Really? Maybe you should check your mistakes first.
If you really think Nicki is good you pretty much telling me you have low self esteem, for the Kanye album you can hate him all you want the boy is a genius, I know he does crazy stuff in public and other stuff but he really hasn't been the seem since his mother passed but that doesnt excuse his action. Without Kanye Hip-hop would be dead....
I like Nicki's album and i'm not in the game of comparing and contrasting what she does...
Her acheivements are all legit, and i won't trivialize them... but... I will say... toppling L.Boogie's record... it was gonna happen eventually... but... Boogie will still hold that record to me... her albums were selling for 20 bucks a pop... not $4.99...
+ it's L. Boogie... will reign surpeme over every female to step foot in hip hop hop/rap/soul/rnb...ect...
But Minaj is doing it big... all the haters on the negative sweat should probably go take a cold shower right about now. She doesn't care if you think she's credible... she's selling and performing all over the world.
Kanye was better with his first two albums. Nicki Minaj is funny looking and she's not really good. Also anyone who really likes these two are the following things: Black (which I am so I'm not racist) and a person who won't listen to anything else except rap and r & b.
Shut up...you sound stupid every album since College Drop out has been better than the last or just completely categorically different.
they like my favorite two artists right now but i love pop to like katy perry, mike posner, usher, lady gaga but i love rap and r & b and im black so u should not say that
That's crazy Kanye is a genius we may not like what he say at times but his music is good and Nicki has put forth a great first album people seem to forget this is her first album she will get better with time I'm black I listen to all types of music I'm more excited about my chemical romances album
I bought the new Kanye West album and I'm not black. Also my favorite is rock, with my favorite musicians being Nine Inch Nails and Deftones. Kanye West is just a great musician, that's why people buy his stuff.
I am neither of those two things. I am WHITE and GAY. I love Kanye and Nicki Minaj. I listen to all types of music the only music I don't like is Hard Rock and Screamo. You are obviously just a hater, in the words of Nicki Minaj "Haters you can kill yourselves"
i've got nicki minaj's PINK FRIDAY album and all i have to say is that this shyd go str8 HAM. She snap on every song and u can let the whole album play through. 2 all yall haters step ya cookies up.......hahaha.I read her thank you and it was so nice and she is such a humble person, you could also see that wen she was on 106&Park. I respect her and wish her all the luck in the world cuz she is blessed.................da dun dun.
The whole entertainment industry at this point has taken the oath and sold out .... They Killed Michael Jackson, 2pac, Lennon, and others who no longer supported their agenda....

"Cause when you go hard your nays become yays, yankee stadium with jays and kanyes."-Nicki
With Rihanna in #3. Nicki Minaj has a relatively short shelf life so she better enjoy it while she can....
When Kanye take number 1 and Nicki number 2 Susan Boyle will be number 3 and that other girl will be number 4 rihanna will drop to 5 if not lower...
As much as I can't stand Kanye's way of acting, the guy makes good music in my opinion. Also, I love Nicki Minaj, I told her I'd admit it I hope one day we get married just to say we f***ing did it. 🙂 Kill it baby!
Kanye is a bigot and a liberal stooge.
I agree. And Nicki is garbage. She's already starting "beef" with Lil Kim to sell records. What's happening to hip-hop? Lil Wayne? No. Jay-Z lost his touch after his "retirement". Eminem has talent, but he's far too predictable. Drake? Get real. Nas has been rather inconsistent as well. Either Outkast needs to come back with a BRILLIANT new album, or a fresh new face needs to step up and become hip-hop's savior. None of these "artists" are worth being in the news.
Nicki didnt start the beef Kim did. Kims been dissing her for well over a year and Nicki hadnt said anything negative about Kim til "Romans Revenge"... get ur facts right
U have a good future girl
Go nicky u have a bright future
