== 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!!! [[User:Theuhohreo|Theuhohreo]] ([[User talk:Theuhohreo|talk]]) 14:11, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

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. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Core2012|Core2012]] ([[User talk:Core2012|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Core2012|contribs]]) 20:52, 19 August 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

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.

The main problem I have with this page is that single "Massive Attack".

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.

==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. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.121.57.101|76.121.57.101]] ([[User talk:76.121.57.101|talk]]) 02:05, 25 September 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: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". -- [[User:Lil-unique1|<font color="SteelBlue">'''Lil_℧niquℇ №1</font>]] <font color="black"> &#124;</font> [[User talk: Lil-unique1|<font color="OrangeRed">talk2me</font>''']] 02:10, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

::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?

:::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. -- [[User:Lil-unique1|<font color="SteelBlue">'''Lil_℧niquℇ №1</font>]] <font color="black"> &#124;</font> [[User talk: Lil-unique1|<font color="OrangeRed">talk2me</font>''']] 02:21, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

::::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

:::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. -- [[User:Lil-unique1|<font color="SteelBlue">'''Lil_℧niquℇ №1</font>]] <font color="black"> &#124;</font> [[User talk: Lil-unique1|<font color="OrangeRed">talk2me</font>''']] 18:40, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Doesn't matter. FMBQ radio shows that the single was promoted and released by will.i.am Music which is part of Interscope Records. It is a seperate division of Universal Music Group, compared to Universal Motown who are the backroom label for Nicki Minaj. It has nothing to do with word of mouth. its exactly the same situation as "Eenie Meanie" by Justin Beiber and Sean Kingston which features on both of their albums but is counted as a single only from Kingston's album. -- [[User:Lil-unique1|<font color="SteelBlue">'''Lil_℧niquℇ №1</font>]] <font color="black"> &#124;</font> [[User talk: Lil-unique1|<font color="OrangeRed">talk2me</font>''']] 22:14, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

:Exactly. Being on an album and being a single from that album are ''not'' the same. The single was not released by Young Money, it was released by Interscope.

::Yes I understand the whole "Eenie Meanie" situation. It would also work-out with "Check It Out" if all the references above didn't state otherwise. The first reff from Billboard states "''The next single from Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday"'' is as much a showcase for the female MC's stylistic flair and fast improvement as it is for Will.i.am's dominance." <about "Check it out") All the references above state that the song is a single from ''Pink Friday'', and i wouldn't even take it to heart if it wasn't from such reliable sources as Billboard & Rap-Up. I mean, Nicki even promoted the song as a single from ''Pink Friday'' in her interview with Regis & Kelly. I get that it was released through will.i.am's music group, but wouldn't it be possible to be released through will.i.am's music group for Nicki Minaj? (maybe almost like "Just Dance" being released through Kon Live along with their own label???) [[User:Theuhohreo|Theuhohreo]] ([[User talk:Theuhohreo|talk]]) 22:41, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

:::Gaga is signed to four labels (Cherrytree, Interscope, Kon Live and the other one). Its different story. Nicki is signed to YM and CM both of which owned by Universal Motown. The fact is we have a dispute of sources here. We have reliable sources both claiming different things. However the Billboard and Rap Up sources claim something different from FMBQ however they do NOT discredit what it says. Will.i.am music (a label Nicki has no affiliation to) released the song to radio meaning they hold copyright and rights to the song. As Minaj is not on that label she is not attached to the song other than being credited as one of the featured vocalists. At the end of the day will.i.am music is promoting the release and neither Billboard or Rap Up explain why that still makes it Minaj's single. -- [[User:Lil-unique1|<font color="SteelBlue">'''Lil_℧niquℇ №1</font>]] <font color="black"> &#124;</font> [[User talk: Lil-unique1|<font color="OrangeRed">talk2me</font>''']] 22:51, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
