“Super Freaky Girl” was released on August 12 and prominently samples Rick James’s 1981 single “Super Freak.” The song debuted at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it the first solo song by a female hip-hop artist to do so since Lauryn Hill’s 1998 single “Doo Wop (That Thing).” The track was included on Minaj’s first greatest hits album Queen Radio: Volume 1.
