Yeah, I don't know if it was a glitch or not but it's pretty ridiculous. Edit: OMG that was the "production error" that caused Target to cancel all pre-orders. Yet, they had it on the shelves anyway. Wait...so when I said that someone came and bought all the remaining copies after I picked up mine, it was probably an employee removing it from the shelf. That probably also explains why it was priced inaccurately; it wasn't intended to be sold. What a mess. They better give free refunds! My theory is that, because CDs have a max capacity (80 minutes) and the CD comes to a total of 80 minutes with the abridged instrumental, they rushed it out the door so that it would not have to be pushed back again, knowing there was no room for the full version of Anaconda. As someone who prides herself on being a businesswoman, Nicki must be SEEEETHING. These editions with the instrumental in place of the vocal mix of "Anaconda" could really be worth something someday as such production errors are so very rare. One would think that they would make sure all of the songs could actually fit onto the album before they went to go produce the CDs for it.

I didn't know what to expect with TPP. It has a good balance. Just a question though: When did Nic ever say she was going to propel into Missy Elliott territory with her 3rd album? New York Daily News had included that sentiment in their review.

Honestly, Anaconda is still horrid so I would probably prefer the album without it anyway LOL. She is not going to get this album to Platinum sales, and I would be shocked if she even got it certified.
This is her best album though, although I still think she has yet to top Playtime is Over.
Highlights: -All Things Go -Crying Game -Feeling Myself -Only -Want Some More -Four Door Aventador -Favorite -Buy A Heart (What was Meek's yelling ass doing with this soft ass song LOL) -Trini Dem Girls -Big Daddy (why isn't this on the standard!!!) -Shanghai -Truffle Butter
The worst songs are Anaconda and The Night Is Still Young (she sounds good but that production gave me flashbacks to PFRR in the worst ways.) She could have kept Bed of Lies too, it's a good song but when she already has Pills and Potions, All Things Go, I Lied and The Crying Game, she didn't need another song like that.

She has no choice but to make "Feeling Myself" the next single. It's already top 50 on Urban and was the highest charting song from the album on iTunes. Not sure how it would do on Pop, but she doesn't have any songs on the album that cater to pop sans "The Night Is Still Young" and "Bed Of Lies".

The SPS shit confuses me. So really she should be selling 180k by the end? Maybe even more?. Shit, J.Cole prediction surpassed, she can too.

Monday's predictions aren't actually based on any sales numbers, just the expectation of what its going to sell. It could go up or down based on how she actually is doing for the midweek projection.

I still can't stand Wayne's verse or Nicki's for that matter but Drake's is just worthy. Yeah, that’s right, I like my girls BBW, yeah Type to wanna suck you dry and then eat some lunch with youMy brother kept rapping that during Thanksgiving and it was hilarious! His wife was not having it AT ALL.

Damn, this has a Metacritic rating lower than The Re-Up. That makes NO kind of sense. I only like part of Nicki's verse but Wayne's is hot. One of his best in a while, but I agree with Drake stealing the show. Even his exclamations are hot.

She's just too adorable and pretty. And I think SB was the person she was referring to about having sex with tomorrow lol. On Jimmy Fallon tonight.

It's interesting that Feeling Myself, Truffle Butter and Buy A Heart are all "leftover" tracks that she got from other artists. She looks great in those interveiws and the fringe is giving me straight 2009 Onika but I kind of want her to have green and pink hair again.

This album is a f**kin masterpiece! I cannot decide which track is my favorite but as of now Get On Your Knees is the one I'm playing the most. I love how she uses her amazing singing voice just as much as her rap voice and gives nice pop touches on the album without making it too pop-oriented. Wow wow wow! Well done Nicki!!
I need an hq version of Murda Murda/Wamables asap! That's probably my favorite song on the album. Shame that it's only included on the Japanese deluxe edition (wtf??). It'd make a smash single.

I think I'm going to get this album on iTunes right now but I'm gonna be pissed if next week the price is cut down to like 7.99 for Christmas or something, lol!

Just read the album credits and wasn't expecting will.i.am to be the producer behind Grand Piano nor for it to interpolate Paula Abdul's Rush Rush.

I was so surprised to hear the Rush Rush interpolation when I first listened to the album. I had to check that I wasn't hearing something wrong, it just seems so random.

This album is GREAT. Her most cohesive album to date 100%. It's basically the better evolution of her debut. I like the vibe of the album a lot, it's very intimate and dark production-wise. The only songs that aren't much for me are "Buy a Heart" and "The Night Is Still Young". "Anaconda" is such a fun track but sticks out like a sore thumb, it sounds more Roman Reloaded than Pinkprint. "Want Some More" seems to be really underrated because I love it but don't see anybody really reacting to it? Very catchy. I would make a list of my favorite tracks but they all pretty much slay me in their own ways. I really love the lyrics to "I Lied", beautiful track.

I love Buy A Heart but I especially love Want Some More. Is that Meek's hollerin' ass on the song TOO? Or is it Jeremih? Who knows. Wait...so wavey., you are saying that the Target Deluxe now has the correct Anaconda? Oh nice. I am debating exchanging mine but like 🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾 said, it could be a collector's item so idk. Plus, I already have the MP3 of Anaconda
