Nicki Minaj Equals Lauryn Hill Chart Record
After releasing a total of 121 singles in the last 12 years, American rapper, Nicki Minaj has set a new chart record in the US, as reported by BBC.
The star’s latest song, “Super Freaky Girl,” has debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 – making her the first solo female rapper to achieve the feat in almost a quarter of a century.
The last time it happened was in 1998, when Laruyn Hill’s Doo Wop (That Thing) entered the chart at number one.
According to Billboard, Super Freaky Girl was streamed 21m times last week.
It also topped the download chart with 89,000 sales – the highest sales week for any song in 2022 so far.
“You did it,” Minaj tweeted to her fans, after the charts were unveiled.
She previously topped the charts with Trollz, a collaboration with 6ix9ine, and as a featured artist on Doja Cat’s TikTok hit Say So, both of which were released in 2020.
