    her single most llikely went platinum or they are counting total sales accross the earth .... this is equivalent to the 90s when dudes used to claim platinum status and they were really saying they "shipped" platinum not actually "sold" ...

    and an early ? and a SYDAD to those who will come in here saying let her get her shine ... no doubt have it ... but dont try to twist and construe the facts just to make your ? look good .... cause thats what your doing just like the dudes used to do in the early 90s before folks got hip to soundscan .................. ;)

    LOL ? said across the earth. Nobody is "claiming" to have Platinum status. A Platinum certification for albums in the US has always been based on shipments.

    And na her single didn't go Platinum.. it went 3x Platinum. EvilGrin.gif

    Birdman's thinking "Does a plaque count for payment? ehh probably. If she asks I'll tell her that her money pulled a 40 glocc, in the bushes! *rubs hands together*"

    Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ album was released on April 3rd in the US and despite the remarkable succes of its ‘Pink Friday’ predecessor, the sales of the record have been far from impressive. Yet, the rapper did achieve a somewhat hollow victory today: ‘Roman Reloaded’ has been certified platinum in the US.


    ‘Roman Reloaded’ has officially shipped over 1 million copies in the US and earned a platinum certificated from the RIAA. However, the LP has only actually sold less than 545K copies at retail outlets in the US with consistent sales decline in each progressive week.

    Hence, judging by current sales trends, ‘Roman Reloaded’ probably will not match the success of ‘Pink Friday’, which has thus far sold 1.84 million copies in the US since November 2010. In fact, the latter topped the 545K total of ‘Roman Reloaded’ in lass than three weeks.

    To date, ‘Roman Reloaded’ has only generated a lone top 10 hit single on the Billboard Hot 100. ‘Starships’ has peaked at #5 on the chart whereas Minaj’s other releases, ‘Right by My Side (Ft. Chris Brown)’ and ‘Beez in the Trap’, stalled at #51 and #48, respectively.

    damn, it's only sold 545k, that's not a good look. Plus she has to buy back all those albums that didn't sell from shipment.

    Oh wow...that's actually cheapens the platinum certifications. I didn't know you got a plaque for shipping platinum.

    And this let's me FURTHER know record sales is a lame way to judge talent.
