Setting records on Billboard is nothing new for Nicki Minaj.
She was setting them even early in her career — including in 2010, by having the most singles on the Hot 100 chart at one time, and in 2011, with the most weeks in the top ten on theBillboard 200 albums chart.
Still, that doesn’t make her latest — where she became the first woman to have four songs in the top ten of the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart simultaneously — any less impressive.
In fact, only two other artists, male or female, have done that before: Her labelmates, Drake and Lil Wayne.
Prior to this week, she had three: “Throw Some Mo,” with Rae Sremmurd and Young Thug; “Only,” with Wayne, Drake and Chris Brown; and “Truffle Butter,” also featuring Weezy and Drizzy.
As for her fourth, she got an assist from Beyoncé. “Feeling Myself,” their collab off of The Pinkprint, crept from #11 to #10 this week.
When Nicki got the news on Tuesday, while overseas on tour, she expressed her excitement on Instagram.
