Massive Attack

"Massive Attack" is officially on the album!!! People need to stop taking it off the singles list and confirmed tracks! The song was officially released to radio and digital download and a music video was released! Nicki has NEVER said the song won't appear on the album, and even stated that once she heard the song that that is the direction she wanted to go for the album! Leave it on the article!!! Theuhohreo (talk) 14:11, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes the SONG was released as a single, but never confirmed for the album! The fact that she stated the song was the direction she wanted to go for the album, that absolutely never confirms on its own that it will be an album track! Singles released by other artists before were never included on the album which they were recorded for, and sometimes this will happen even with the artist stating that it is the direction they want for the album. Until she specifically confirms that it will actually be an official album track, do not include it under the ASSUMPTION that it will be a track. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Core2012 (talk • contribs) 20:52, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In a uStream that she did in early August, in which she announced the album's title, she stated that the only song that has been heard by people from the album is "Your Love". If that isn't proof that "Massive Attack" won't be on the album, I don't know what is. And since it isn't on the album, it must be recognized as a buzz single and not an official single.

Edit request

{{editsemiprotected}} The page is always being negatively edited by random IP addresses and unauthorized users! Being an up and coming album it needs to be some-what protected because people will keep deleting important information and adding useless facts. The main problem I have with this page is that single "Massive Attack". I've created a talks page and know one discusses it but instead keeps editing the page! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theuhohreo (talk • contribs) 18:09, 17 August 2010

Not done this is not an edit request. BritishWatcher (talk) 17:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To request semi-protection you will need to raise it here Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection although i am not sure if it will be granted. BritishWatcher (talk) 17:46, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, what the heck guys. Those producers we listed are ON THE ALBUM ACCORDING TO NICKI MINAJ. And if a track lists, we list it as a possible track on the album. We basically set this whole article back by deleting all of those producers. SMH —Preceding unsigned comment added by Broomtherapper (talk • contribs) 18:36, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First official single

Okay, so "Massive Attack" isn't going to be on the record so "Your Love" was thought to be official single #1 while "Check It Out" was supposed to be single #2. However, per this link: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1648698/20100924/baby_aka_the_1_stunna.jhtml the first official single is supposed to be "Right Through Me" (which just leaked) and that "Check It Out" may not even be on the album. How exactly are we supposed to approach/deal with this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.121.57.101 (talk) 02:05, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We'll wait and see. There's no evidence that "Massive Attack" won't be on the record. I suppose "Your Love" is similar to Usher's "Papers". -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 02:10, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If "Massive Attack" and "Your Love" are going to be on the album then they are the first three official singles. Considering "Check It Out" was released by will.i.am. music group/Interscope, it may just be an album track if it is from Pink Friday (similar to how the duet "Eenie Meenie" by Sean Kingston/Justin Bieber is only an album track from My World 2.0). The buzz single situation is kind of iffy because it's really not acknowledge as an official type of single. I mean Papers got a download date, a radio add date, and was included on the album. How was it a buzz single and not an official single? Beats me. lol. Candyo32 02:14, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I mean you know when the label down plays it a bit. Well as far as I can tell, Nicki has always referred to "Check it Out" as a single and MTV even says the song may be included on Pink Friday but isn't officially confirmed as of yet. Either way for the time being I think we the singles should be listed as 1. Massive Attack, 2. Your Love, 3. Right Through Me. As these were all linked to Minaj's debut album. "Check it Out" shouldn't be listed but people keep adding it back. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 02:21, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it. I hope no one reverts it. As for "Massive Attack", Minaj stated that the song won't be on the record. In August she said that the only song heard from the record was "Your Love". I just don't understand how she called the song her first official single then released "Check It Out" and made it seem like single #2 then Baby who works closely with Nicki calls "Right Through Me" her first single. -- User:Solotwilight User talk:Solotwilight 20:33, 24 September 2010

Check It Out

According to this: http://www.mypinkfriday.com/releases Check It Out isn't a joint single but rather Nicki feat. will.i.am. Nicki stated via her Twitter that regarding the MSU scam that happened to do with her shows, that this website was set up by her team. -- User:Solotwilight | User talk:Solotwilight 20:47, 24 September 2010

That's not true because per the single cover its a joint single and also it was released by will.i.am music not by YM/Cm -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 15:40, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, why is it not listed as a "single" in the Singles section. Why does Right Thru Me take precedence over it? Fixer23 (talk) 23:54, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It hasn't been confirmed as a Pink Friday track yet. Yvesnimmo (talk) 23:55, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MTV has confirmed its inclusion [1] 155.69.192.97 (talk) 08:39, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Yvesnimmo (talk) 14:30, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is still speculation especially since FMBQ radio announced that will.i.am music sent the song to radio and promoted the song. There's no mention of Cash Money/Young Money/Universal Motown. It is not being pushed by Minaj as a single from Pink Friday. That is why it was deliberately omitted. My calculated estimation is that it is a will.i.am single only but will still be featured on Pink Friday. This is distinctly different from Nicki releasing it as a single from her album. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 18:40, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing will be on iTunes at Midnight 10/31/10 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.59.91.185 (talk) 19:32, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good; will be added when it is. :) Yves (talk) 19:33, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Features

I just saw her press conference in Trinidad and there are the following features: Eminem, Drake, Rihanna, Kanye West, and Natasha Beddingfield! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LqbgWbmrfk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.195.66.52 (talk) 00:50, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cool! I didn't expect a Bedingfield collaboration; I guess that goes against the rumored track listing going around. I guess we'll just have to wait until the track listing is officially released to know the names of the songs! :) Yves (talk) 00:53, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Roman's Revenge is the next single

It's a single on iTunes. Ending-start, you need sources to back your claim that it is a promo single. –Chase (talk / contribs) 03:49, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You need a source to say that it's the next single. Just because it's been released on iTunes doesn't mean a thing. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (Talk) 03:53, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is premature to assume the track will be an official single. Singles are released digitally from albums all the time, and there is no indication of this track receiving a physical release thus far. The single cover is also the same as the album cover, and the link http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/romans-revenge-feat-eminem/id400968519 is not accessible without installation of iTunes. Yves (talk) 03:54, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not assuming that the song will be an official single. It already has been released. No source says that it is a promo single, so we'll have to wait and see on that. As for now, we should treat it as the next single. –Chase (talk / contribs) 03:58, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hope it does. The song is sickkkk. What constitutes the difference between a promotional single and a [non-promotional] legit one? Yves (talk) 04:07, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, if a song is on iTunes as a "Countdown to (album)" campaign, it's a promo. This isn't (but it could very well be a promo anyway) so we'll just have to assume it's official until we get word from Nicki's team saying otherwise. –Chase (talk / contribs) 05:16, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So Ke$ha's "Sleazy" is an official single? Yves (talk) 05:20, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not fully aware of the circumstances, so I might be missing out on something, but it looks that way. –Chase (talk / contribs) 06:19, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not an iTunes countdown, it's sold along with preorder of Pink Friday see. However, it might be a new official single. Mike Posner's "Please Don't Go" was released the same way and ended up being the second single. Not sure. --Cprice1000talk2me 12:25, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stop.... just stop. It is not the next single! Digital download does not confirm a single release, it is just for promotion and it's GENIUS on Nicki's part!! The song will go on "Other charted songs" once it charts, cause it is definitely NOT a single release! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.160.180 (talk) 17:09, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You need a source backing your claim that it's not a single, since it's been released as a single to the iTunes store. –Chase (talk / contribs) 18:56, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, you need references that prove it WILL be a single! An iTunes release is NOTHING! and it doesn't even have a single cover out, it is being distributed through the actual album itself, even further proving that it is NOT yet a single! Theuhohreo (talk) 19:33, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
