Republic just tweeted it's coming the 10th still. I dont think they would want her to match up with Ariana, they om the same label. Amazon Italy is reporting Sept 7th tho? |

One of the worst album rollouts ive seen for an artist at this level For real. They should have surprise dropped this shit back in June or with the release of Chun Li or SOMETHING. |

This isn't looking good. Maybe this is hype for a surprise release?!?

I'm heated. All "Queen" s**t aside, pushing the album back again is flat-out unacceptable. We have waited too long for this project and after pushing it back AGAIN and it's not FIRE...I won't really know what to say. If they are releasing at the same date, I truly hope Ari takes #1. It's just ridiculous. But it's not confirmed? No one seems to know when it's officially coming out? Nicki hasn't tweeted anything yet
On a side note, I think something is up. She has released NO promo info for the album...TV appearances, performances, etc... Something is going on. I think there is a surprise release.

I call bullshit on them releasing the same day. Both missed the #1 slot last time and I hardly believe either is humble enough to settle at #2.

I do have to agree. I don't think Nicki would do that to Ariana. She has to have a surprise drop of some sort in the cards. Something is up.

She just tweeted this. Sooooo album is still on for August 10? Annoying. All for this sample. I refuse to believe this is the reasoning. They can settle copyright shit in 1 week? I doubt it |

Drake pulled 150k last week. There is no way that Nicki and Ariana will pull lower than that for their first week.
I am officially pressed and I am officially rooting for Ariana to debut at #1. I'm pressed as f**k. Like, on top of all this s**t, you're gonna block Ariana out of a #1? f**k, at this point I would have preferred her to push the album back 2 weeks so Ariana could get her #1 in. So. bothered. right. now.
As I said, this album better be fucking fire. If it isn't, she won't lose her throne, but I think she'll turn off her fanbase even more than she already has with all of these unfufilled promises (yet again)

Good luck getting Tracy to clear it considering she's a recluse and doesn't have social media or a smartphone... That and Tracy is notorious for not allowing other artists to sample her work. Gabrielle's "Dreams" originally had a sample from "Fast Car" and they couldn't get it cleared so they had to make a new instrumental to replace it. |

Her and Ari on the same day
O Lord
I mean Ari will probably win the chart fight, since her singles have much more strength atm.

Pink Friday - 375k
Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - 253k
The Pinkprint - 244k SPS (198k sales)
***
Yours Truly - 138k
My Everything - 169k
Dangerous Woman - 175k SPS (129k sales)
History would say Nicki beats Ari but Ari has trended upwards with each successive album while Nicki has declined. I think it’ll be a close race and not a landslide.

I say Nicki will take it the #1. I think she will have stronger streaming than Ariana as well.

Ari will have bigger pure sales (even that is wishful thinking though because I read that Nicki has tour bundles) and Nicki will obliterate her in SPS since she has 20 tracks and tons of publicity. On the other hand though, Ari's debut numbers have been trending upwards with each successive album and is also huge on streaming while Nicki has been decreasing eventhough her lowest seller is still bigger than Ari's biggest. I don't think #1 is guaranteed for either one of them though. Drake is still going strong and Lil Pump who is huge among the streaming demographic is also releasing that week so I'm perched for that HDD thread. I can see it going like this:
1. Nicki (barely)
2. Drake
3. Ari
4. Lil Pump
