]]>With 228,000 equivalent album units earned during its first week, Pink Friday 2 topped the Billboard 200 chart, becoming Minaj’s third album to do so. Pink Friday and Pink Friday: Reloaded achieved the same feat, helping Minaj become the only female rapper with three No. 1 albums in the US.
Pink Friday 2 also earned the largest streaming week of Minaj’s career, with 129,000 SEA units earned, equaling 169.87 million on-demand official streams. The album also earned 92,000 equivalent album units in pure album sales, including 25,000 vinyl copies sold, for the largest vinyl week for a rap album by a female artist in history.
Pink Friday 2 was released on December 8, and it serves as the sequel to her debut album from 2010. It was preceded by singles “Super Freaky Girl” and “Last Time I Saw You” and features a total of 22 tracks on the standard edition, including collaborations with J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Drake, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, and 50 Cent.

Minaj’s freestyle is definitely the best part of the songs, and she used the lyrics “VMAs was a family reunion / First time in a while I seen all of my sons” to take shots at fellow rappers Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Ice Spice.
Minaj is currently busy teasing her upcoming album Pink Friday 2, set to hit the shelves on November 17. In an interview with Elle, she promised a “fierce, fun, and unapologetic” record that’s worth waiting for.
“It’s probably the most excited I’ve been about an album release in a really long time. I’m happy that we’re not making my fans wait for another album like I’ve done in the past. This one incorporates all the things people love about Nicki, but it also just has a way bigger sound,” said Minaj.

]]>The music video for this track is the very definition of “barbiecore” and it shows the two rappers having the time of their life in their own version of Barbie Dreamhouse. Hannah Lux Davis, who directed the video, wanted to “create fantastical worlds that both artists could thrive in that could feel like an extension of Greta Gerwig’s masterfully-crafted creative vision.”
“Barbie World” samples Aqua’s hit 1997 song, “Barbie Girl”, and the members of the Danish group have been credited as songwriters and performers alongside Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice. This marks the second collaboration between two rappers, following “Princess Diana”.
“Barbie World” will be one of many amazing songs from Barbie the Album, set to be released on July 21. We’ve already got to hear several tracks from this record, including Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night”, “Watati” by Karol G, and “Angel” by PinkPantheress.

Minaj has been teasing the release of her fifth studio album for quite some time and said it’s “coming soon” in several interviews this year.
“I’m in a really great place now. I feel like whenever I’m happy, I deliver the best music. And in order for me to deliver the best music for my album – which is coming out soon – I have to tap back into the essence of hip-hop,” she told i-D Magazine.
Nicki Minaj hasn’t released a new studio album since Queen in 2018, but she’s been pretty busy in the meantime.

]]>“Alone” samples Alice Deejay’s Eurodance megahit “Better Off Alone”, and its music video is an ode to the disco classic that Petras grew up with. References to Eric Prydz’s “Call On Me”, Alex Gaudino’s “Destination Calabria”, and Fedde Le Grand’s “Put Your Hands Up For Detroit” are the central point of this music video.
Collaborating with Minaj was a dream come true for Petras, and she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that Minaj changed her life in so many ways by agreeing to record a verse for this song.
“We shot the music video together and she was like, ‘Ugh, when I heard the song, I just loved it,’ and that just made me so happy. I feel like I’ve learned so much. I feel like I love her more. When the camera’s on, it’s crazy. She just goes into a full superstar,” she told Zane Lowe.
“Alone” will be featured on Petras’s upcoming debut studio album, which still doesn’t have an official title or release date.

“Alone” generated a lot of buzz online ever since Petras started teasing it back in March, and she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 that working with Minaj still doesn’t feel real.
“Her singing ‘it’s Barbie and it’s Kim Petras,’ I cried, I was on the floor… She just changed my life in so many ways with that verse and that verse rips, I love her and I’m so inspired by her always, it’s crazy to me. I don’t know how she does it, but she’s just the greatest ever,” said Petras.
“Alone” will be featured on Petras’ first major label album, which is due to come out sometime this year.

“Princess Diana” was originally released as one of the songs from Ice Spice’s Like..? which hit the shelves on January 20, and also featured singles “Munch (Feelin’ U)”, “Bikini Bottom” and “In Ha Mood”. It became her breakout hit after going viral on social media and surpassing 34 million worldwide streams in less than two months.
