The Pinkprint

The Pinkprint is the third studio album by rapper Nicki Minaj. It was released on December 15, 2014, by Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Republic Records. Departing from the dance-pop elements of her previous album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, The Pinkprint is driven by Minaj's traditional hip hop roots. Minaj executive produced the album alongside Birdman, Lil Wayne, and Ronald Williams. The Pinkprint received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many complimenting its production and personal lyrics. It was included in several publications' year-end and decade-end lists. In 2016, it received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album. The album peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200 with 244,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, of which 198,000 were pure sales. It also charted within the top ten in Canada, Norway, and Sweden, and the top twenty in Australia, Croatia, Finland, and Greece. As of December 2015, it has sold 682,000 pure copies in the US, and has since been certified 2× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
