It’s also immaterial to everyone except a small number of people- Minaj, her management, and her diehard fans-who really care about No. Maybe Travis Scott, who at the moment is very popular, would’ve had enough streams to push himself over the top anyway.
She essentially said as much in the first tweet above. 1 album in the country if only it hadn’t been taken from her by forces beyond her control-Scott’s ticket bundling, Spotify’s conniving, etc. Spotify denied that accusation today, but regardless the point is clear: Nicki is suggesting she rightfully had the No. Minaj also alleged that Spotify had retaliated against her by pulling planned promotion for Queen because she had played the album on her Apple Music radio show before it was officially available to stream. #Queen broke the record of being number 1 in 86 countries. I put my blood sweat & tears in writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling ppl to come see her & Stormi. I love my fans for the #1 album in AMERICA! I’ll explain on #QueenRadio 4 albums in, #1 in 86 countries ♥️ /CiYEuczgm3Īlso Read Nicki Minaj, LL Cool J and Jack Harlow Will Emcee 2022 VMAs He knows he doesn’t have the #1 album this week. With no requirement of redeeming the album! With no dates for a tour, etc. With music at its lowest level of monetary value in our lifetimes, schemes like this have become a popular method for artists to try and have their album “sales” reflect what they believe their popularity to be. The crux of Nicki’s, um, argument was that Scott was using nefarious means to goose his album sales, such as packaging a sale of the album with tour tickets or merch.
1 will be Travis Scott, who scored the second highest debut of the year with his recent Astroworld, with a reception that let him ride into a second straight week at No. Nicki Minaj spent a portion of her Sunday on Twitter, venting to the world about the fact that her new album, the rather unexciting Queen, is going to debut at No.
