PINK POWER

The biggest female rap debut of 2023, Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 (Young Money/Republic) will open with an impressive 170-190k, easily achieving #1 on next week’s HITS Top 50. RCA’s Tate McCrae, meanwhile, is trending toward a first week of 40-50k, the biggest bow of her career.

Nicki Minaj (Young Money/Republic): 170-190k
Tate McCrae (RCA): 40-50k

If you take a swig of holiday cider for every week Republic hit #1 this year, you turn into Santa. True story.
