Pink Friday 2 also earned Nicki Minaj another milestone after selling 25,000 vinyl copies, the biggest week for a female rap album since 1991, when Luminate began electronically tracking sales.  

Nicki Minaj previously held the record for female rap No. 1 albums with her 2011 debut, Pink Friday, and its follow-up, Roman Reloaded, in 2012.  

Pink Friday 2 is Minaj’s seventh Top. 10 album. She reached the second spot three times before with The Pinkprint (2015), Queen (2018) and Beam Me Up Scotty (2021). Her best of compilation, Queen Radio: Volume 1, went to No. 10 in 2022. 

Taking to Instagram to congratulate Nicki Minaj, Foxy Brown praised her for being the only woman to surpass her with a trio of chart-topping albums. Foxy led the charts twice, firstly with The Album from Hip-Hop supergroup The Firm alongside Nas, AZ and Nature, and as a solo artist in 1999 with Chyna Doll. 

“Hella proud,” she wrote on her Instagram Story, sharing a photo of the duo. “Y’all mean to tell me no b#### broke that s### in my absence! Took twin to set tha bar again!”
