    I've just searched for Pink Friday on iTunes and then Nicki Minaj and the album didn't come up - what's with that?

    It's released tomorrow, so might be on iTunes later on tonight. Some of us have got it early because we pre-ordered it and sometimes receive 2 days before it's out.

    I went to Tesco today and they didn't have it. I don't mean it had sold out, I mean they were not seeling it. It was no where to be seen in their top 100.

    How weird. It's on iTunes (where it wasn't even listed yesterday). Hmm.

    I think they should have promoted her over here more. There's not been one performance of her in the UK. So there's probably still quite a few people who don't know who she is :(.

    Nicki isn't big over here to be honest. Most american urban or rap acts are not successful over here. Drake isn't. Lil wayne isn't.

    It only took Jay z until last year to actually have some sales success

    Jason derulo has just been one of the recent lucky few.

    I suppose thats because Jason Derulo is Pop/RnB and that kinda stuff is more popular in the charts etc. Drake and Lil Wayne are really popular, but like you said, there's sales aren't brilliant in the UK. I think they're tours do/probably would do really well though.

    Yeah, my friends wouldn't know who she was and the songs she's featured on haven't been popular or even released in the UK.

    what songs are people liking on Pink Friday then?
    i have listened through once, and theres about 3 tracks which i really did not like at all, but mostly its a great album.
    i love Fly featuring rihanna, also love the track featuring drake and 'save me' is probably my fave.

    Pink Friday is amazing, cannot pick a favourite song because they are all great. Probably would have to narrow it down to Roman's Revenge if I had to though.

    Just finished first listen, not overly keen on the Natasha Bedingfield track, otherwise I love it. Will have to put it on extra loud at more decent time tomorrow. loved Save Me, Moment 4 life especially.

    That's what I still need to do. That's when I'll be able to judge better when I hear it at it's best lol.

    I've listened to most of it through my iPod and there hasn't been a song I haven't like yet. Still need to listen to 'Last Chance ' though, and the last couple of songs, but so far I seem to like it all.

    Anyone listened to the 4 bonus tracks plus the 'Best Buy' exclusive extra track? Here are the songs.....

    Super Bass

    Blow Ya Mind - This is the old version because I couldn't find the new one. The new one I have sounds more rockier at the beginning of the song, before the beat kicks in.

    Muny

    Girl's Fall Like Dominoes. It's samples a song, don't know the name of it but you'll instantly recognise it.

    There's another two songs called 'Catch Me' and 'Wave Ya Hand', but can't seem to find them on Youtube.

    Why weren't these songs on the album? They sound really good. "Super Bass', 'Blow Ya Mind' and 'Girl's Fall Like Dominoes' in particular :(.

    I bought Pink Friday last night and I absolutely love it! I've listened to it all the way through 3 times and I don't think theres one bad song! So many could be singles!

    I waited so many months for this album and it has exceeded all of my expectations!:D

    Thats really good I think. As mentioned earlier, there's been no promo etc.

    I've listened to the album loud on my stereo and I love it. All album needs to be played loud ;).

    Brought the album today. They didn't have it when I looked in Asda yesterday (they weren't selling it their, or it wasn't listed on it's charts).

    But they have it in HMV :). What do you guys reckon she should release as future singles ?

    Obviously she's done Check It Out. and 'Right Thru Me' is the current one.

    I wonder if they'll cash in on the Rihanna one, and have a music video with her in and so on ?

    I think that Romans Revenge and Blazin should be singles!

    It's such an amazing album, I can't stop playing it!:)

    All bonus tracks as Soapbox34 said.

    Wish 'Massive Attack' was on there too. Love that song.

    I think they might release at some point. I think it'd be best not to release it too soon because to me it kinda has that airy feel (can't explain it any other way lol) that 'RIght Thru Me' has. Well actually I think it'd well regardless lol. 'Blazin' would be a good choice.

    Apparently 'Moment 4 Life' might be next. I think that a good choice too, more urban sounding so she can reach out to different audiences. With 'Check It Out' being quite pop, and 'Right Thru Me' being quite in between I'd say.

    Yeah Love 'Romans Revenge', but all the editing they'll have to do because of the words just takes away from it.

    New video:

    Keyisha Cole & Nicki Minaj - I Ain't Thru

    I don't know why Lil' Kim was on the same track as Nicki if she was so opposed to her, hmm...
