According to Nielsen Music, Nicki’s latest output, The Pinkprint, has just sold over 500,000 copies in the United States.
Nick’s third studio album sold 22,000 copies during the week ending Feb. 15, pushing The Pinkprint over the gold milestone.
The Pinkprint has now sold 509,000 copies after debuting at #2 on the Billboard Hot 200 charts. Since the album was released in early December, Nick has more than doubled her first-week sales of 244,000 copies.
Each of her three albums have been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Although Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (905,000) has reached platinum-status worldwide, Nicki’s first album, Pink Friday (1.93 million) is the only project that has sold more than a million copies in the U.S.
The Pinkprint slipped out of Billboard’s top 10 this week for the first time since its debut.
