YESSSSSSS. She is SITTIN ( wavey.) and flawless and all that but omg this album. I really can't take it. Want Some More makes me want to go to a club and elbow people in the eyeballs and all that and the rest of the album is just perfect. Listened to Crying Game again. Flawless. Feelin Myself, Get On Your Knees, etc. One of my favorite albums this year, hands down. In the top 20 for sure, at least. I am kinda mad that critics are citing Truffle Butter as the better YM collab. The verses in Only from the men are much better than on Truffle Butter. I can't even remember how they go on TB but I pretty much know all of Drake's Only verse and some of Wayne's.

"Truffle Butter" was #2 on last night's countdown on CT's largest Urban station. A smash in the making! 251k with streams, pushing her up to #2!. Much better than originally predicted!

From the Official Charts: Debuts at #22 in the UK, becoming Nicki's third Top 40 there. #1. Pink Friday - Roman Reloaded#16. Pink Friday#22. The PinkprintDid she really go from a #1 last era to a #22? But I guess she had Starships, Pound The Alarm and Superbass being big at the time, and this era only really had Anaconda, which is more of a novelty song.

Pop >>>>> Hip-Hop/Rap there, and like you said, the difference in the success of the singles is huge.

In order to appease all of her fanbase, I think her next album should be a two disc split album a la I am...Sasha fierce.
One disc can be all pop/club bangers and the other can be urban jams. She could sell each disc seperetely then have a deluxe edition that includes both Cds and extra songs!

That seems to essentially be what PF:RR was, but the first half being rap/hip-hop sounding songs, and then the latter half of the tracks having a more pop sound.

She doesn't need to do that. Pinkprint still has lots of pop elements but they're not as obvious as RR and that suits her better imo. She only had to release Get On Your Knees as the 1st single and she'd be #1 all over the globe.

Realistically, how do y'all think "Get On Your Knees" would do on Pop? The chorus is pop friendly but the entire vibe of the song isn't.

i think just having ari on it makes it top 30, but it'd surprise me if it went further than the high teens. i think crying game would perform similarly to fly and that bed of lies, while nowhere near the strongest track, is probably the right choice for pop.

If it was Iggy it would have gone top 10 I actually believe this. 2 whites is better than 1 for Top 40.

NISY is what needs to go to Top 40...and I said the same thing about the next album pages back. Two seperate EPs and keep it moving.

She only had to release Get On Your Knees as the 1st single and she'd be #1 all over the globe. Let's be realistic though, R&B is an established genre in the US and in the UK (though not as popular), but in Europe? Even "Fancy" flopped there this year.

Don't forget about the fact that Asia is a total bonker about Hip-Hop/R&B, Asia is very pop leaning.

I feel her heart and soul. So glad she exists. Rap needs her.
