I cannot be arsed with "Fefe" at #1, this year has been bad enough as it is. "FEFE" being #1 would only make it exponentially worse, though... |

So Queen update - enter the promo code "QUEEN" on tidal and get a FREE ALBUM DOWNLOAD.
L O FUCKING L. If this ain't desperate for a certification....
Fun fact it doesn't matter for sales because an album has to be 5 dollars to count on B200

I don’t believe there is a defined term but a somewhat general consensus. If TPP had debuted with, say, more than 500k (I’m not gonna pick a specific number) and then opened with 150k, maybe you can call it a flop, although even then I think it could be debatable. If an album debuted with 600k albums or more the first week with their last album and then debuted with 150k, I’d say that’s a flop...but then again, as you said, everyone could have a different definition. 100k less in an opening week (250k vs 150k) shouldn’t be considered a flop. An underperformance, yes. Was PFRR deemed a flop when it opened with about 100k less than PF? No Well, she went pop and her first album sold 1.9 m and her follow up sold 900k with a rerelease and 11 releases definitely not just an underperformance but I’m glad she will get another top 10 with Barbie Dreams |

I don't see the issue with Nicki discounting her new album to 5 dollars since album sales are in the shitter anyways, we all knew from the jump that Nicki isn't really an album seller like Adele or Taylor Swift especially now in the streaming era. So why the hell not, get people to buy it somehow. It's not desperate, it's smart.

Biebs - nope (last time he had momentum and hype he flopped, remember Friends with Bloodpop?) Riri - likely if released at the correct time (could do well but summer is about to end) |

(I know I'm being pedantic, but their album sales are astronomical, even people like Rihanna don't sell anywhere near them). To be honest though, I was expecting Nicki to under-perform. I think Ariana Grande will as well, I don't think she will have an album bomb, I think she will just have a few album tracks make the Hot 100, but her pure sales will probably be decent/good, |

I think Ariana Grande will as well, I don't think she will have an album bomb, I think she will just have a few album tracks make the Hot 100, but her pure sales will probably be decent/good, It's true though - they both have impeccable machines and management behind them who have - at least so far - specifically gunned for insane physical sales upon release. That's not something that works for most artists anymore. I too wasn't surprised to see Nicki's numbers - although I see it less as an underperformance and more as a natural arc in a phenomenal and record-breaking career. I think we can get a distorted perception of how most careers pan out by witnessing the Adeles, Taylors and Drakes of the world. For her to pull the numbers she's pulling and to have the following she's got on social media... she's far from flopping at this phase in her career. She's good. |

Queen Update 2537
Samsung is arguing FEFE shouldn't count for Queen's streams today considering it wasn't fully in Apple's system at the appropriate time.
This era is the messiest I've seen from an a list artist in awhile

This era is the messiest I've seen from an a list artist in awhile What are the rules for that tho? They dropped a “special version” of the album with that song on there before the streaming week ended, so technically shouldn’t it count? |

Am I the only one who actually likes Fefe? I personally think Nicki killed her verses, but I absolutely hate 69 as a person and think he's disgusting. I hate myself for liking it lol.

The whole vibe of the song is something that doesn't grab me initially (or ever) (and that's true of much of today's hip hop) - but I do like her verses. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

For the next #1, I think i will be a new song. Of the songs out right not, I think “Better Now” has the best chance but it’s very unlikely. If Post drops the music video before it starts dropping on airplay, it’s possible.

I could care less about 69’s existence on this planet but it’s a bop and Nicki does kill her verses...I don’t think many are supporting the song because of him, hence why this is his highest-charting song |

IMO Nicki selling her album for $5 is no more then a desperate last minute attempt to get #1 just like it was adding fefe to the album. But all of that doesn't bother me I'm more interested to see how billboard will handle this. Will they count fefe towards the SPS for Queen? Will they count it for the few days where it was added to Queen or will they include all of fefe's streams/sales towards queen for the week total. ( I hope that makes sense).
On another note I'm rooting for In my feelings to die. It would be cool to see Better now sneak in a week at #1.

Seeing all these updates about Queen and it really is a messy era for Nicki. For her sake, I hope all these hoops she's jumping through actually does earn her a #1 album.

This thread is for the Hot 100 y’all. Nicki’s having a messy week but that doesn’t mean we have to follow
