Nicki Minaj is making history in the rap and hip-hop world. The iconic artist is the first woman to have two solo songs reach over 1 billion views on YouTube. Chart Data confirmed the news on Twitter/X, with her 2010 hit single “Super Bass” and 2014’s “Anaconda” each passing the billion mark.
The success of both songs is even more impressive when you consider the level of charting success both have achieved. “Super Bass” reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has earned a diamond certification, while “Anaconda” peaked at #2 and made headlines due to its provocative content. The video even broke Vevo’s streaming record by gaining 19.6 million views in its first day. To top it all off, Billboard named the video the 13th greatest of the decade.
The success of her songs has certainly been felt by Minaj, who has nine songs that have surpassed the billion views mark. The highest-viewed video, with over 2.1 billion and counting, is for her featured verse on Ariana Grande’s “Side to Side.” As she prepares for the December 8 release of her highly anticipated Pink Friday 2, Minaj can be proud of her accomplishments and the records she has broken.
Fans can celebrate with her by watching the videos for “Super Bass” and “Anaconda” and enjoying the music that has made such an impact on the music industry.
