Update:<\/b> With sales of 105,000 Nicki Minaj’s “The Pinkprint” holds at #3 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. Only Taylor Swift’s “1989” (326,000) and Pentatonix’s “That’s Christmas to Me” (121,000) sold more.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks to a stronger boost from the Track Equivalent Album (10 song sales = 1 album sale) and Streaming Equivalent Album (1500 song streams = 1 album sale), Minaj’s album once again ranks ahead of the Pentatonix album on the revamped Billboard 200. Despite commanding fewer pure sales, it ranks at #2 on the Billboard 200 courtesy its 156,000 total, credited units. “That’s Christmas to Me,” which sees less benefit from the TEA and SEA avenues, ranks at #3 with 131,000 total units.<\/em><\/p>\n

After two weeks of release, “The Pinkprint”‘s pure, cumulative sales count stands at 304,000.<\/em><\/p>\n

=================
\nWhile it did not open as a juggernaut, Nicki Minaj’s “The Pinkprint” did rank as one of the US’ top five albums in each of its first two weeks of release.<\/p>\n

During that timeframe, it amassed a sales total of approximately 302,000 units.<\/p>\n

The album’s run began two weeks ago. Thanks to what Soundscan reports as an opening week sales total of 198,142, “The Pinkprint” landed at #3 on the weekly album sales chart behind Taylor Swift’s “1989” and Pentatonix’s “That’s Christmas to Me.”<\/p>\n

The album had no prayer of matching that total in its second week — and no such unthinkable miracle occurred. But its Christmas week total of what Hits Daily Double reports as 104,000 (the more authoritative Billboard\/Soundscan number will differ only slightly) was enough to hold a top five position — and reach the 300,000 threshold.<\/p>\n

In its second week, “The Pinkprint” remained behind Taylor Swift’s “1989” (~328,000) and Pentatonix’s “That’s Christmas to Me” (~119,000) but also (per Hits’ data) in the shadows of One Direction’s “FOUR” (~106,000) and J. Cole’s “2014 Forest Hills Drive” (~105,000).<\/p>\n

Insofar as the #3, #4 and #5 albums are barely separated on the Hits chart, it is possible Billboard’s listing will feature a slightly different pecking order.<\/p>\n

What does not seem possible, however, is “The Pinkprint” not ranking as a top five album in its second week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[183,1047],"tags":[288,3141],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nNicki Minaj's "The Pinkprint" Sales Total Hits 304K After Two Weeks (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: With sales of 105,000 Nicki Minaj's "The Pinkprint" holds at #3 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart.
