“Your Love’ is the first single by a female rap artist to top the Rap Songs chart in seven years, with Lil’ Kim’s ‘Magic Stick’ featuring 50 Cent serving as the last track to hold the same position back in June 2003 for five consecutive weeks. And while Kim had some male assistance, Missy Elliott is the last female artist to have a solo track top the chart with ‘Work It’ in November ’02. (The Boom Box)
Minaj’s new record is reportedly a sample from 1990’s pop star Annie Lennox. Writing via Twitter, Minaj publicly thanked her fans for supporting the record.
