“Your Love” – the second single from rapper/singer Nicki Minaj’s upcoming untitled debut album — rose to No. 1 on the Billboard Rap Songs chart Wednesday. The song — which samples the Annie Lennox hit “No More I Love Yous” — is the first single from a female rapper to top the Rap Songs chart in seven years.Impressive, considering the last single to do that was “Magic Stick” — a 50 Cent single, which ironically featured Minaj’s new nemesis Lil Kim. That song topped the Rap Songs chart for five weeks in the Summer of 2003. Minaj is also the first female artist to top the rap chart unaccompanied since 2002. In addition, the song has peaked at No. 26 Billboard Hot 100.
Despite a lackluster reception for her lead single “Massive Attack,” Nicki has received mostly positive reviews for her singing and rapping flexibility on “Your Love.”
