It&#8217;s the first solo female rap track to debut atop the chart since Lauryn Hill&#8217;s \u201cDoo Wop ( That Thing)\u201d back in 1998. Hill&#8217;s debut and sole solo album, \u201cThe Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,\u201d also entered number one on the US Billboard 200 chart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">James&#8217; original release never even cracked the top 20, peaking at 16. Then in 1990, MC Hammer sampled \u201cSuper Freak\u201d for the Grammy-winning \u201cU Can&#8217;t Touch This.\u201d  But while the emcee nailed down the top spot on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart, the song only went as high as eight on the Hot 100.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">&#8216;Global superstar&#8217;:<\/strong>Nicki Minaj to perform, receive Video Vanguard Award at 2022 MTV VMAs<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img gnt_em_img__inset\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Billboard Hot 100 factors in total consumption via digital downloads, streams and radio airplay.  The 89,000 digital downloads that \u201cSuper Freaky Girl\u201d notched mark the biggest digital sales week of any track this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The artist, born Onika Tanya Maraj, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NICKIMINAJ\/status\/1561781778083237888\" target=\"_blank\" data-t-l=\":b|e|inline click|${u}\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">reacted on Twitter following the milestone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">After retweeting accounts that announced the feat, Minaj simply wrote \u201cYou did it,\u201d with the holding-back-tears emoji.  The tweet was directed at Minaj&#8217;s fan base, affectionately referred to as \u201cbarbiez\u201d or \u201cbarbz\u201d for short.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cSuper Freaky Girl\u201d will be on Minaj&#8217;s fifth full-length album, which is \u201ccoming soon,\u201d according to a release. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>Best celebrity photos of 2022 so far:<\/strong> Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Doja Cat, Lizzo and more<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_tw\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadTwitter\" data-v-id=\"1561781778083237888\" aria-label=\"Twitter Embed\" style=\"min-height:225px\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Coming Sunday \u2013 Minaj&#8217;s gig as one of three guest hosts for this year&#8217;s MTV Video Music Awards.

She debuted \u201cSuper Freaky Girl\u201d during the premiere episode of her show \u201cQueen Radio\u201d on Amp, a new live radio app from Amazon.  The song was co-produced by Dr.  Luke, the music producer who has been in a legal battle with Kesha since 2014. He has worked with Minaj in the past and was behind Doja Cat&#8217;s \u201cSay So,\u201d which featured Minaj and topped the Hot 100 in 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">What we know:<\/strong>Nicki Minaj&#8217;s husband Kenneth Petty on probation, house arrest for not registering as sex offender<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"gnt_em_gl_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2020\/12\/08\/USAT\/ebb98d6e-5407-4cb3-bdfd-7e61b07a5ef6-nicki_minaj_1.jpg?resize=660%2C372&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2020\/12\/08\/USAT\/ebb98d6e-5407-4cb3-bdfd-7e61b07a5ef6-nicki_minaj_1.jpg?crop=5999,3375,x0,y334&amp;width=1320&amp;height=744&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp 2x\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicki Minaj&#8217;s week is certainly off to a \u201csuper\u201d start.
