Trinidadian-born American rapper, singer, songwriter and actress, Nicki Minaj, is currently the most charted female rapper in the history of music. Minaj has sold over 60 million singles as a featured artist alone, 20 million singles as a lead artist and almost 5 million albums worldwide. She is the first female rapper to chart in five countries and have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. Nicki ranks in the Top 5 in women with the most Hot 100 entries to date. She led nominations for rap musicians at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards with seven nominations and three wins including "Top Rap Artist," "Top Streaming Artist" and "Top Rap Album."
Minaj re-released her second studio album, “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded The Re-Up” in November 2012, seven months after releasing her second studio album, “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,” which debuted number 1 in five countries including the US. Since then, the album has become one of the best-selling albums of 2012, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Her debut studio album, “Pink Friday,” also achieved record-breaking numbers in 2010, by becoming certified Platinum only a month after its release. In addition to her No. 1 US debut, the first-time Grammy Award nominee for best new artist is thriving internationally, snagging the #1 spots in the UK, Japan and Canada and debuting in the Top 5 in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Ireland. With her #1 debut in the UK, Minaj has been named the highest charting solo female rapper in history with the UK’s Official Albums Charts.
