Singles[]
"Massive Attack" was released on April 13, 2010 through digital distribution. It charted at number 75 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The song was a distinct change in Minaj's previous work on mixtapes and features, thus receiving mixed to positive reviews from critics, commending lyrical content and distinctiveness, and critiquing that it did not fit her "Barbie" persona well. The song bubbled under the Billboard Hot 100 at 22, and peaked at 65 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. "Massive Attack" was initially announced as the album's lead single, however, after the single's poor chart performance, Minaj dethroned its lead single status and declared that it would not be featured on Pink Friday.[13] "Your Love" was released as the album's first official US single on June 1, 2010 and as the first single in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2010. Initially, the song had never been planned for release, but due to abounding airplay it was mastered and used as the follow-up to "Massive Attack". The song has so far peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at 5 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and topped the Rap Songs chart for eight consecutive weeks. Minaj became the first female artist to top the Rap Songs chart unaccompanied since 2002. It also charted in Canada and the UK.[14] "Right Thru Me" was released on September 24, 2010[15] and officially impacted urban radio on October 5, 2010.[16] A music video directed by Diane Martel, was released for the single on October 27, 2010.[17] "Moment 4 Life" which features Drake officially impacted Rhythmic radio on December 7, 2010[18] and was released on March 20, 2011.[19]
"Check It Out" was released as a joint single by will.i.am and Minaj on September 3, 2010.[20] A music video for the song was directed by Rich Lee and released October 25, 2010.[21] "Roman's Revenge" featuring Eminem was released as a promotional single to iTunes on October 30, 2010.[22] "Fly" (with Rihanna) is also set to be a single.[23][24] A re-worked version of "Roman's Revenge" featuring Lil Wayne was released to the iTunes Store on January 19, 2011.[25] "Did It On'em" was sent to rhythmic radio on March 7, 2011 and "Super Bass" impacted radio on April 5, 2011.[26][27] "Super Bass" was released to iTunes in some markets on May 13, 2011.[28][29] In its seventh week on the US Billboard Hot 100, the song has achieved number ten, making it Minaj's first top ten placement as a lead artist.[30] The song's title is included as part of the title of a UK Deluxe edition of the album, Pink Friday (Super Bass Edition).[31] "Girls Fall Like Dominoes" was released in the UK on April 15, 2011.[32]
