6th Single from The Pinkprint?

[ILLUSION]

Choose single #6 from Nicki Minaj's The Pinkprint for both Urban and Pop formats. In parenthesis are Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart peaks.

Single #1: Pills N Potions (#7)
Single #2: Anaconda (#1)
Single #3: Only (#1)
Single #4: Truffle Butter (#1 Urban, Rhythmic Mediabase)
Single #5: Feeling Myself (#12 Urban Mediabase, so far)
Single #6: ?????

Hard to believe she's already on single #6!

My Picks:
Urban: Buy a Heart (feat. Meek Mill)
Pop: Bed of Lies

[ILLUSION]

Interesting that "Bed of Lies" is so popular for Pop. I feel like she's already performed the song at awards shows/TV appearances in the past (IE: Ellen), so I don't know if re-trying is the best option. I am very interested in what the label will decide.

I thought Bed Of Lies was a single all this time until a few weeks ago but I kept it on my chart regardless so I'm kind of over it now but it seems like a natural choice. It's very Eminem/Rihanna-like in its layout.

I'd vote Trini Dem Girls but that song is a summer jam so I'm saving it for a May/June release - unless that's when we're talking about.

I'm very intrigued that people think TDG would be successful on Pop. I always saw it as more of an Urban song but still considered it an album track over a single. I think if "Bills" explodes, they should definitely at least try sending it to Pop.

I'm also down for them trying to send BOL to Pop. They should give it another shot, it's not like they are in a rush to send singles to radio at this point.

BUT I think Buy a Heart could get Pop plays as well so this whole situation is very interesting, I'm going to be very interested to see what they decide.

I love "Bed of Lies" and I still wish they'd try it on CHR, but they probably need to release it soon-ish or not bother. For the Urban side of things, I want "Trini Dem Girls."

And I'm not sure why it's not in this poll, but "Get on Your Knees" would be a good single for both formats.

[Fancy]

"buy a heart" is just waiting to smash :'(

[popbox]

Bed of Lies is her best chance at a true pop hit this era. Tons of options for Urban really.

[Envoirment]

"The Crying Game", not just because I would love the exposure Jessie Ware would get from releasing it, but also because I adore the song, it's fucking amazing.

I was mostly referring to it as an Urban single but a pop crossover it could do. I don't care if Nicki releases to pop this album, tbh, though I did hear The Night Is Still Young on the radio last week as part of a Friday night mix show. She may as well go for that at some point.

I'm so confused, "Bed of Lies" wasn't a single!?

[Au$tin]

Where is "Get on Your Knees"?

I've looked that list up and down twice and I'm so confused too.

Oops.

[Rocky]

Either "Bed Of Lies" or "The Crying Game". I'm leaning latter because the former was performed a few times. I think it could do moderately well on Rhythmic too or maybe that's just wishful thinking. "Buy A Heart", "Favorite" or "Want Some More" could go to Urban/Rhythmic.

[think pink.]

Pop - Get On Your Knees
Urban - Buy A Heart

[Wave.]

Yeah, it seems that GOYK is going to get the Green light eventually. For Urban, TB and FM(Only also) are still killing at the same time. I really see Buy A Heart going for Urban.

[ILLUSION]

My order for Pop singles would be: Bed of Lies, Get On Your Knees, The Night is Still Young

I do not see TCG doing well on Urban. It's a great track but I don't see it being a single. I think there are better choices for singles.

[Au$tin]

For me, GOYK is the multi-format smash this era needs. Truffle Butter is doing well, yes, and so did Anaconda, but GOYK would smash in her three main formats and probably make a small dent in hot AC as well.

Then afterwards, BoL for pop, TCG for urban.

[NeRD]

I say Crying Game for all formats.

That's a smash tbh..

Buy A Heart would smash on Urban and Rhythmic; and Favorite, Want Some More too.

She actually has a lot of potential singles on this album. She just needs to release them correctly.
