Fan single selections
Edit
On May 24, 2012, Nicki created a poll asking her fans to pick her next single. There were 3 different polls to pick one song from each. The first poll was between the four pop ballad songs: "Marilyn Monroe," "Fire Burns," "Young Forever," and "Gun Shot." The second poll was between the three rap/hip-hop songs "Champion," "HOV Lane," and "I Am Your Leader." The third and last poll was between the three dance/techno songs "Va Va Voom," "Whip It," and "Pound the Alarm." Nicki decided to go with Pound the Alarm as the next single over Va Va Voom because it is popular all over the world, and has made it on many radio stations and charts.[1][2]. Then she confirmed that Champion will be the next urban single.[3] That changed because of The Re-Up. The next urban single was The Boys, which is now a promo single because it did not do well commercially.
