Nicki Minaj’s journey to the top of the Billboard charts is packed with milestones. While she’s had countless hits over the years, not all made it to No. 1 — but those that did represent major moments in her career.

Tracks like Super Bass, Bang Bang, and Anaconda were massive smashes, even though they stopped short of the top spot on the Hot 100. Still, their impact can’t be denied. In contrast, songs like TROLLZ (with 6ix9ine) and Super Freaky Girl solidified her place with actual No. 1 debuts.

In 2023, Nicki teamed up with Ice Spice on the Princess Diana Remix, which became her 10th No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart — showing her relevance in today’s hip-hop scene.

Other top-performing hits that claimed the No. 1 rap spot include:

Moment 4 Life (featuring Drake)
Red Ruby Da Sleeze
Do We Have A Problem (featuring Lil Baby)
Make Me Proud (Drake ft. Nicki Minaj)
Only (with Drake, Lil Wayne & Chris Brown)
Your Love – her early breakout on the rap charts
Each of these songs represents different stages of her evolution — from club bangers to introspective verses. Whether she’s leading the charge or hopping on a collab, Nicki Minaj continues to shape the direction of female rap.

As we keep watching for her next release, this list will grow — and fans can be sure there are more chart-toppers to come.
