Iggy Azalea's 'The New Classic' finally scratches Gold in US

[Minaj 607]

​And with all those collabs Nicki still hasn't gotten a #1 hit 

 

Iggy still doesn't even have a top 40 solo song so don't talk to me about collabs.

​This is an artist's debut album. 

You really want me to bring up Pink Friday's receipts?

​Love how Nicki "raps" about this right after she sold out and became The Black Lady Gaga  she woulnt be here if it weren't for her major pop songs. She can continue to live in delusion.

​She can be both a pop star and a respectable rapper 

At least she can carry herself when she does her pop thing, and remember when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it.

​uh.

Work, which had zero air play and promo in the US, is platinum and charted in the top 50 BBHot100. Made it to the top 10 BBRap charts.  

ugh. The B0rbz always ruining a good Iggy thread. Insecure like their fave.

​That's like comparing The Fame to Queen of the Clouds by Tove Lo. Both are pop and both had a breakthrough single on their debut albums. They both aren't going to have the same amount of success but it doesn't make it bad for the person who got the lessor. Most of the time, their debut album doesn't get a lot of sales.

​Sis, I wasn't even going to start anything before you and others started bringing up Nicki due to a particular users avatar.

Does this include sales of "Reclassified"?

 

No.  

[Mister Gaga 22,007]

No.  

​It don't add many more copies 

50k as much

Does this include sales of "Reclassified"?

 

​Actually, I think Reclassified sales count towards this. Reclassified is just a reissue of that album, so I think the RIAA groups them together.

good for iggy!

[Carlitos 99]

Good for her (:

Why do you guys have to be so hateful?

[Haroon 49,685]

Why did you guys jump on Minaj for saying what he did, it wasn't even flamebait  

I was thinking the same, I'd thought The New Classic hit gold a while ago because of how huge Fancy was and because she had Black Widow too  I'm sure Pretty Girls will drum up anticipation for her next album  

Regardless, congratulations to her on the new certification

This. I was genuinely shocked, considering how big Fancy and Black Widow were.
