Definitely!!

And Beautiful Sinner hear in HQ for the first time...amazing stuff...i love how loud these sonvs are.

Reminds me of elements of Madonnas MDNA and Britneys Femme Fatale in the vein of making these massive sounding tunes that you can hear around arenas and just send shivers on your arms

Marylin Monroe havent heard before....and i love that too

Marilyn Monroe is the stand-out track for me, it's just completely different from the rest of the tracks from the album and in a way it sort of tells a story. I have a feeling she'll release it as a single in the Autumn, which would be the perfect time for it IMO.

Va Va Voom is insanely catchy! I've always been a fan, just never really discussed her music on a forum or appreciation thread before.

But Yeah I'll definitely be posting more on this thread now.

Ah thats brilliant....well what i have gathered is that it is always good to have me on a forum or AT...always posting whatever pops into my head to discuss

Yeah it is....Masquerade is a lovely finish to the album. Will play it again later....hopefully her debut Pink Friday album will arrive here tomorrow

I personally feel on first listen the Pop side of the album is far more instant than the more Urban side of it at the moment. But on replay it will show its true colours i reckon

Just thank Madonna for geddin me into the Minaj!

Same. It wasn't until last year when she featured on Guetta's Where Them Girls At and I played her part like over and over. Then Super Bass came out, and then she sung with Madonna. Well, that alone is enough to make me become a fan.

But seriously, #1 album in the UK though!

Pink Friday is amazing, I still play it a lot.

I know I was surprised to find that I was enjoying the pop side of the album far more than the Hip Hop side. I began following Nicki because of her mix tapes...but I have to say the pop sound really suits her. And Red-one's productions are brilliant on this album.

Defnitely cannot wait to play Pink Friday then

Yeah they are tbh i was worried when i read it as i am not really a fan of his productions...they always seem rather "novelty" these days...but with Minaj it is like something else really

Yeah I was genuinely worried, when I heard Red-one was involved in this album...but it seems that he's created something new for Nicki, which is great.

Yeah Nicki is like his new muse for this album campaign and it really does work...like i am not a Hip Hop fan at all.

But with Janelle Monae in 2010 i really find myself opening up to some of the market really. Nicki ticks a lot of boxes and i love her influences too so i think it adds to the mix for me too

Those are great stats.

I reckon Minaj will sell a total near to 40,000 perhaps. Very interesting indeed in comparison to mainstream Pop artists etc...and what is deemed "popular and unpopular" 2012 has well and truly busted some ballz

I reckon around 45-50k personally - she sold 7.5k yesterday alone. If she carries on over the next three days (obviously she won't sell that exact amount each day), you're looking at around 45-50k.

Listened to several songs on youtube really like Marilyn Monroe and a few others whose names I forgot

The thing that i feel lets Roman Reloaded down is that there is too much to take in...so i am taking it segment by segment...Roman Holiday is a powerful album opener...Starships is a TUUNE (sorry Hav_mor) and Pound The Alarm, Beautiful Sinner, Automatic, Whip It, Va Va Voom are sonic amazingness!!

Marylin Monroe is actually beautiful! There is lots going on.

Oh and Pink Friday arrived today!! Playing it now...must say these songs are far more instant and concise...love the way the Pop vibes mix in with the Urban

VERY interesting!

I am really loving Pink Friday more than i thought i would....need to keep giving the Urban side of Roman Reloaded more of a spin to grasp but that second half of the album....AAH!

Want Starships video soon...it seems weird artists take ages to release videos for singles these days really :-/ i mean Drake and Rihanna with Take Care when the song was out late last year was it not?

And YAY number 1, congrats Nicki! The album keeps growing on me as does she so yay yay yay

Actually it was never a single originally. Music buyers cherry picked it from his album and it became a hit so Take Care was made into a single early this year.

Starships was meant to premiere on Tuesday
