Rap Queen Nicki Minaj has tied a major Billboard record of King of Rock N’ Roll Elvis Presley thanks to her ‘Pink Friday 2‘ smash ‘FTCU.’

Bolstered by a Waka Flocka Flame-sampling beat, ‘FTCU’ looks like it’s on its way to f*** the charts up thanks to an impressive 36-spot jump after the holiday rush.

Found at #53 just last week, the ‘PF2’ favorite has hopped to #17 on the Hot 100 – making it the LP’s third highest-charting song to date following the #1 smash ‘Super Freaky Girl‘ and the #13-peaking ‘Red Ruby Da Sleaze.’

Here are the numbers that powered the placement.

• Streaming ≈ 13.3 million U.S.-based streams
• Radio Airplay ≈ 1 million audience impressions
• Sales ≈ 2,000 digital downloads

Coming as the 48th Hot 100 top 20 placement of her career, Minaj not only extends her reign as the female rapper and female artist of color with the most entries in that chart region but also ties Presley on the all-time list of “acts with most top 20 hits.”

As of time of this report, Presley remains the male vocalist with the most top 20s.

The only acts to have accumulated more than Nicki and Elvis over the hitlist’s 65-year history are Drake, Lil Wayne, and Taylor Swift.
