Onika "Nicki Minaj" Maraj has set a new record on Billboard. Just a few months after gaining her first Billboard #1 with "Your Love" Nicki has set the record for being the artist with the most 200 best-selling songs of 2010 with
- Your Love - 755,00 units (Nicki Minaj)
- My Chick Bad - 1,246,000 (Ludachris)
- Knock Out - 519,000 ( Lil' Wayne)
- Bottoms Up - 518,000 (Trey Songz)
- Lil' Freak - 508,000 (Usher)
- Letting Go "Dutty Love" (377,000) - (Sean Kingston)
- It Ain't The End (355,000) - (Jay Sean)
In a grand total of 4,298,000 in sales with no album released
The part that has me questioning this title is fact that only ONE of these songs that counted towards Nicki gaining this best-selling record has been Nicki’s own solo song. It begs the question can Nicki gain the same success on her own or is she just a feature artist. The lyrical content on a song like "Your Love" isn't up to the standard of her features on "Monster" or "Bottoms Up" on which she outshines the main artists.
Also on the singles she has released for the debut album "Pink Friday" due out November 23rd she has been "Singing" and not showing her skills as an MC that she has proves she has on the contributions to other artist’s songs and her mixtapes to released at the beginning of her career. Is this a tactical move to attract the Pop audience or Nicki falling short in delivering a whole album standard track?
Never the less you can't say that Nicki isn't leading the pack when it comes to female MC's let’s just see what she delivers come November 23rd

In the past 2 years Nicki has come from rapping on "The Come Up" DVD's to prime time TV performing songs from one of if not the years most anticipated album "Pink Friday".
Even though Nicki's performance wasn't the strongest and she didn't seem to be in the forfront of her segment, I defiantly think when shes gains more experience in these kinds of settings she will fine tune her performance.
I'm just going to put this out there but do you think a time will come when Nicki becomes creatively constricted by her animated wardrobe, faces and "dance" moves? because it's evident that Nicki has talent and this persona isn't all she has to offer.
Never the less we have no full body of work to judge her on, we will have come November 23rd...... pressure much?
