Join the Musical Rollercoaster: Pink Friday 2, Leave the World Behind, and The Idol’s Lasting Impact on Streaming Trends
Chart-Topping Chaos – Get ready for a wild ride in this week’s Trending Up column, where we dive into the whirlwind created by Nicki Minaj’s latest album, Pink Friday 2. The holiday season might be in full swing, but Nicki is proving that she’s the queen who never takes a break. While Brenda Lee and Mariah Carey hold their ground on the Billboard Hot 100, Nicki Minaj is gearing up for a chart takeover with her fifth studio album, Pink Friday 2.
Pink Friday 2: Sampling Magic and Chart-Topping Surprises
This sequel to her 2010 debut studio album is a 22-track extravaganza featuring collaborations with heavyweights like Drake, J. Cole, Future, and more. The album boasts Hot 100 hits like “Super Freaky Girl,” “Red Ruby Da Sleaze,” and “Last Time I Saw You.” And let’s not forget, Nicki is keeping the surprises coming, expanding the album each day this week.
The real magic, though, happens with the sampled tracks. The album’s early streaming success is sending fans flocking to the original hits, turning them into unexpected chart-toppers. Take “Everybody” (feat. Lil Uzi Vert), for example. It heavily samples Junior Senior’s 2002 dance track “Move Your Feet,” and the result. A 40.9% increase in streams for the OG track during Dec. 8-10. Gag City is the destination, and Junior Senior’s “Move Your Feet” is the hottest ticket in town!
But that’s not all – “Are You Gone Already,” the emotional opener of Pink Friday 2, pulls from Billie Eilish’s “When the Party’s Over.” Eilish’s track, already a streaming powerhouse, saw a 15% jump in streams during Dec. 8-10. Nicki Minaj is not just dropping beats; she’s creating a streaming frenzy!
And guess what? The OG Pink Friday album is reaping the benefits too. With a 16.9% jump in streams during Pink Friday 2’s release weekend, the Grammy-nominated LP is back in the spotlight. It seems like Nicki Minaj has waved her magic wand, turning Pink Friday into a streaming bonanza.
Netflix’s Beat Symphony: Leave the World Behind and the Shazam Charts
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Netflix’s Leave the World Behind, a psychological thriller with a star-studded cast, is making waves on Shazam’s U.S. Top 200 chart. The film, featuring hip-hop and rhythmic pop hits, is causing significant streaming upticks for songs like Joey Bada$$’s “The Rev3nge,” Next’s “Too Close,” Blackstreet’s “Never Gonna Let You Go,” and Kool + The Gang’s “Misled.” Looks like Netflix is not just serving drama; it’s serving beats!
The Idol’s Encore: Unexpected Virality and Lasting Impact
And speaking of drama, HBO’s The Idol might be over, but the viral hits keep coming. “One of The Girls,” performed by The Weeknd, BLACKPINK’s Jennie, and Lily Rose-Depp, is on the rise. Despite the show’s curtain call, the song has doubled in streams over the past six weeks, thanks in part to TikTok virality. It’s a musical encore we didn’t see coming.
So, buckle up for the musical rollercoaster – Nicki Minaj, Netflix, and The Idol are taking us on a chart-topping adventure, and we’re all just along for the ride!
