Let Nicki tell it, three of the nations biggest retailer are to blame for the low sales total of her new album.
Reports This Is 50:
“It is hard to get the album because the stores basically said that the last few re-releases they had put out did not do well and they didn’t want to take a chance,” she said in a recent appearance The Breakfast Club. “So, Target and Walmart is not selling the album. Target is actually my biggest retailer — they’ve always been my biggest retailer. They’ve sold the most Nicki Minaj albums ever, so, thank you, Target. But I wish you could’ve sold this one.”
As for Best Buy, the retailer “only took limited [quantities] because they’re like ‘Oh we don’t know, we want to play it safe,’ so it’s very difficult and it kind of sets you up to fail,” she said, adding that some of her fans “have been driving hours, literally hours, to get one CD. But it is what it is, and I appreciate the support, and I’m excited about the music.”
Walmart spokesperson Veronica Marshall told Spin.com that they would would have carried the album had Nicki offered an edited version, which she did not.
“We do not carry any music that has a parental advisory label on it,” said Marshall. “However, we carry edited versions of those music titles. That album did not come with an edited option, so that’s why Walmart isn’t carrying that album.”
The Re-Up is a re-release of Nicki’s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album. It came with eight new songs.
And now…

I just wish Nicki could save all that over the top hair and makeup for the stage and just look normal when she’s off stage……! looks like she’s starting to believe her own HYPE!!
LMAO. Nicki whack anyway, and only shines on other people’s tracks, ROFL. BTW, have her fans heard of the World Wide Web? Who would DRIVE for hours to buy this crap?? I’m sure it’s sold online at Amazon, as well as other retailers. Catch up. SMH.
