Whose 4th studio album was released on August 10, 2018?

The story behind the answer

Whose 4th studio album was released on August 10, 2018? The answer is Nicki Minaj: her album *Queen* arrived on that date.

*Queen* was Nicki Minaj’s fourth studio album and her first major studio release since *The Pinkprint* in 2014. It was issued by Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, and Republic Records. The album’s release had been delayed twice before appearing on streaming services a week earlier than its previously announced August 17 date.

The 19-track album features guest appearances from artists including Eminem, Ariana Grande, Lil Wayne, Future, Swae Lee, The Weeknd, and Foxy Brown. Its singles included “Chun-Li,” “Bed,” “Barbie Dreams,” and “Good Form.” The streaming edition later added “Fefe,” a collaboration with 6ix9ine and Murda Beatz.

A common mix-up is confusing *Queen* with *Sweetener*, Ariana Grande’s fourth studio album, which was released one week later, on August 17, 2018. Minaj’s album title also echoes her long-established “Queen” persona, making the release date especially recognizable in music-trivia questions.
