The second single, Anaconda, peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming Minaj's highest charting single at the time, while four other singles peaked within the top 40 of the Hot 100. The Pinkprint spawned the singles: " Pills n Potions", " Anaconda", " Only", " Bed of Lies", " Truffle Butter", and " The Night Is Still Young". The Pinkprint received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album in 2016. As of December 2015, the record has sold 682,000 pure copies in the United States, and has since been certified 2× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) by adding streaming and track sales equivalent. In the United Kingdom, The Pinkprint opened at number 22 on the UK Albums Chart. The album reached number two on the US Billboard 200 with 244,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, of which 198,000 were pure sales. Among best of the decade lists, it landed 166 on Pitchfork and 60 on Rolling Stone.
Upon its release, The Pinkprint received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many of them praising its production and personal lyrics. Looking to depart from the dance-pop elements of her second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012), The Pinkprint is a follow-up record influenced by her traditional hip hop beginnings.
Minaj co-executive-produced the album alongside Birdman, Lil Wayne and Ronald Williams, with a variety of producers who produced the album's sound. The Pinkprint is the third studio album by rapper Nicki Minaj, released on December 15, 2014, by Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Republic Records.
