This Week’s Favorite New Music: Nicki Minaj’s ‘Last Time I Saw You’ Chosen by Fans

Nicki Minaj‘s “Last Time I Saw You” has topped this week’s brand-new songs survey.
Music followers enacted a survey released Friday (Sept. 1) on Billboard, picking the Queen of Rap’s very first preference of her Pink Friday follow up as their favored brand-new songs launch of the previous week.
“Last Time I Saw You” generated almost 48% of the ballot, defeating brand-new songs by Timbaland including Nelly Furtado as well as Justin Timberlake, (“Keep Going Up”), Doja Cat (“Demons”), Lil Wayne (“Kat Food”), Jhayco as well as Peso Pluma (“Ex-Special”), as well as others.
“Last Time I Saw You” is the most up to date preference from Minaj’s upcoming Pink Friday 2. The cd, which schedules on Nov. 17, will certainly function as both the follow up to Minaj’s Billboard 200-topping launching workshop cd as well as the follow-up to 2018’s Queen, which came to a head at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 as well as generated songs consisting of “Chun-Li” as well as “Good Form.”
“Last Time I Saw You” recalls the original Pink Friday’s “Moment 4 Life,” with a mild pop manufacturing giving the structure for an enthusiastic sing-rap efficiency in which Minaj reviews wandering besides somebody unique.
“Beggin me to stay and then you walk away/ There’s something that you wanted to say/ I was in a rush and you say you were crushed/ But I said I’d be back, it’s OK,” the 40-year-old super star sings over a windy, R&B beat.
Trailing behind “Last Time I Saw You” on the survey is Timbaland’s all-star team track “Keep Going Up,” which generated 27% of the ballot. Sixteen years after Timbaland, Timberlake as well as Furtado introduced their Billboard Hot 100 graph mattress topper “Give It to Me” in 2007, the triad rejoined for their most recent collab “Keep Going Up.”
