Nicki Minaj, one of the most celebrated and influential female rappers, has finally treated her fans to a new album, Pink Friday 2.
The release marks a significant moment for her followers, arriving five years after her last project. The album’s appearance has started a flood of excitement among her enthusiastic audience members, moving the rapper to approach the total predominance of the U.S. iTunes chart very quickly.
As of the latest update, Nicki Minaj’s presence is almost ubiquitous in the top 10 on iTunes, with songs from Pink Friday 2 claiming most of the spots.
Only one artist manages to break her winning streak – Jack Harlow, with his recent Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Lovin’ on Me” holding the No. 5 position.
Aside from this exception, the entire upper echelon of the iTunes chart is a testament to Minaj’s musical prowess.
Among the standout releases from Pink Friday 2 is the track “Needle,” featuring none other than Drake, the highly successful hip-hop artist.
While it’s not officially announced as the next single from the album, the song is gaining immediate popularity, possibly making it a strong contender for future single status.
Nicki Minaj’s chart dominance extends well beyond the top 10 on iTunes; in fact, it extends far beyond the top 25.
Among the current top 25 bestselling songs on iTunes in the U.S., all but three belong to the rapper.
The exemptions incorporate Jack Harlow’s “Lovin’ on Me” and Reba McEntire’s “Seven Minutes in Heaven” (which tumbles from No. 1), and Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” Notably, the last mentioned track currently holds the Hot 100’s No. 1 spot.
