Very surprised that no thread was ever made for this. Her debut album released on November 22, 2010 by Young Money, Cash Money, and Universal Motown. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, selling 375,000 copies in its first week, marking the second highest sales debut ever for a female rapper since Lauryn Hill. The album later peaked at number one, becoming her first number one album. It has been certified 3x Platinum by RIAA.
In 2022, Rolling Stone included Pink Friday in their list of "200 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time" at number 31, stating that the album "proved you could own the charts without dialing back your confrontational individuality, and it set the table for a generation of artists."
All the singles released from this era were superb! Love them all. Such a huge, iconic era this was. I still have memories of the singles, especially "Moment 4 Life", "Fly", "Super Bass", "Right Thru", and "Your Love", being played on the radio frequently as I get my hair done at the salon. The first time I heard about Nicki was from the remix of Mariah's "Up Out Of My Face" and her name kept popping up ever since.
