Nicki Minaj’s Queen Debuts at No. 2, Beat by Travis Scott

After debuting on the high of the charts, Travis Scott’s newest album Astroworld has notched one other week at no. 1. Coming in on the no. 2 spot is Nicki Minaj’s newest album Queen. Astroworld offered 205,000 equal models, with 78,000 from conventional gross sales. Queen, within the meantime, offered 185,000 models—78,000 had been from conventional gross sales.

Astroworld was the primary album to unseat Drake’s Scorpion, which debuted on the high spot upon its launch and spent 5 weeks straight in that place. This week, Scorpion is at No. 3. Travis’ album had the second-biggest opening week for an album in 2018, second solely to Scorpion.

Following the discharge of Queen, Nicki made some adjustments to the album, which included the inclusion of her 6ix9ine and Murda Beatz collaboration “FEFE” as a bonus track. Read the op-ed “Nicki Minaj, 6ix9ine, and the Alarming Normalization of Predatory Behavior” on the Pitch.
