Nicki Minaj has become the first female artist to have four simultaneous Top 10 records on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart, according to the publication.
Minaj achieved this feat thanks to her “Feeling Myself” record, which features Beyoncé and sits at #6 on her most recent album The Pinkprint, rising from eleventh to tenth.
Lil Wayne and Drake have both previously achieved this accolade with the former first in 2008 and the latter in 2011.
Rising from fourth to third this week is Rae Sremmurd’s “Throw Sum Mo,” that features the Young Money artist and Young Thug.

“Only,” another of Nicki Minaj’s The Pinkprint records, which features Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown, dropped from eighth to ninth.
In addition, Minaj also becomes the first female artist with three simultaneous records in the Top 10 of the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop chart as the lead act. According to Billboard, Ashanti, Beyoncé and Rihanna have also achieved this feat but not as lead artists.
Yesterday (March 18), Minaj announced the North American leg of her “The Pinkprint” tour. Scheduled to launch on July 17 in Dallas, Texas, the tour will then go on to make stops in several cities in the United States and Canada. Among the artists set to join Minaj on the road are Meek Mill, Rae Sremmurd and DeJ Loaf.
