The feature album this week (Pink Friday 2,) is the sequel to the debut studio album by rapper Nicki Minaj.
Released back in November, 2010, Minaj enlisted a variety of producers whose efforts resulted in a primarily hip hop and pop record, which sees additional influences from R&B.
Pink Friday features guests Eminem, Rihanna, Drake, will.i.am, Kanye West and Natasha Bedingfield. Not bad for a debut record.
The album gave us eight singles. Your Love, Check It Out, Right Thru Me, Moment 4 Life, Did It On'em, Girls Fall Like Dominoes, Fly, plus breakout single, Super Bass.
Which peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and entered the top ten worldwide, while five other singles peaked within the top 40 on the Hot 100.
Pink Friday debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, selling 375,000 copies in its first week.
Internationally, it also charted within the top 20 in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
As of February 2018, the album has sold two million traditional copies in the United States.
Pink Friday was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 54th Grammy Awards in 2012, alongside Minaj's other nominations for Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance for the single Moment 4 Life.
Let's throwback this Thursday to 2010 with some classic cuts from this BIG record. So big the sequel will be featured to close of play Sunday, Christmas Eve.
