Nicki Minaj is one of a very small number of musicians in today’s industry who can reliably sell music. Whether it be her albums or singles–or remixes of those singles–whenever the rapper has something new to share, her fan base shows up by purchasing her work in huge quantities.
One of Minaj’s most recent singles skyrocketed when it came to sales last week. “FTCU” has become a huge win once again on the charts thanks to a sizable sales figure–one which is up significantly from the period prior.
On Friday, April 19, Minaj re-released “FTCU” as a remix–or in her lingo, a “Sleezemix.” The reworked cut features new vocals from Sexxy Red, Travis Scott, and Chris Brown. Their collective star power, combined with Minaj’s die-hard following, have ensured that the track sold extremely well.
In the last tracking week, “FTCU” sold 14,655 copies. According to Luminate, that’s up from the 650 copies it sold the period before. That’s a growth of 2,154% from one week to the next.
All those sales–and renewed interest on streaming platforms–help “FTCU” return to half a dozen Billboard charts this week. The tune blasts back onto lists like the Digital Song Sales, R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, and Hot Rap Songs, among others.
“FTCU” is also on the rise on other lists that it doesn’t need to return to, as it never disappeared. The cut is up on another six rankings, including some that focus on airplay. Minaj has been promoting the single for months, and this new remix has likely helped it grow at radio as well.
Minaj’s “FTCU” performed so well, it manages to rise on the Hot 100. That wouldn’t normally be a huge feat, but this week, that chart is inundated with songs from Taylor Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department. “FTCU” is one of only two tracks that manage to force their way up the list, fighting against the 31 debuts from Swift.
