(Nicki Minaj Album signing April 2012, LA)
"Nicki Minaj scores her second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" debuts atop the list with 253,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's a slightly better-than-expected sales figure, as industry sources had suggested last week that the album was on course for a launch somewhere in the 215,000 to 235,000 range.
It follows her debut studio set, "Pink Friday," which climbed to No. 1 on the Feb. 19, 2011 chart, just as her "Super Bass" single was taking off. "Pink Friday" bowed at No. 2 on the chart dated Dec. 11, 2010 with 375,000 sold according to Nielsen SoundScan." - http://mypinkfriday.com/
Nicki's right-hand man Safaree "SB" Samuels talks about the star and the album -
"In the beginning, we was gonna make it some rap spittin' sh-- and it was going to have a couple of songs that were going to be the 'Super Bass'-es and joints like that," he revealed. "But it ended up working out a lot better than how we planned."
"SB" talks about working with different producers and Hit Boy -
"We need more!" Hit Boy sent around six great beats, and they decided on two for the songs "Come on a Cone" and "I Am Your Leader," which features Cam'ron and Rick Ross.
"She's still doing her rap sh--, she's still doing her crossover sh--," he said. "When you a star, you a star. You can't deny it."
Congratz to Miss Minaj.
