Ke$ha Sets New Chart Record

Published: Thursday 11th Feb 2010 by Trent

Ke$ha has just made history on the Billboard Hot 100. The Pop sensation’s first single, ‘Tik Tok’, has spent 8 weeks at the top of the chart, the longest stay at the top for a female artist’s debut single since 1977. Debbie Boone’s ‘You Light Up My Life’ set the record 33 years ago by holding the #1 position for 10 weeks. {Source}

Seriously? I take it that people in the US just want to party and have a good time given the gloomy weather. Still, the only thing I can say is: seriously?

Thoughts?

    eh, she’s gonna fade into obscurity after this song has run its course.

  2. Blu majiK February 11, 2010

    Really? This trainwreck? Ugh. Not everybody in the US wants to party. I’m just looking for QUALITY music to replace these rejects! I’m just saying…

  3. blasian February 11, 2010

    Wait Ashanti’s “Foolish” was No.1 10 weeks and Beyonce’s “Crazy In Love” for 8 weeks

    But her… what in the World is Music becoming

  4. mhhmm February 11, 2010

    Um………Irreplaceable was on the charts at #1 for 9 weeks………

  5. Aunt Jackie February 11, 2010

    I think she’s a complete phony.

    “I’m such a rebel!”
    “I spell my name with a $”
    “I just don’t care!”
    “I’m sooo bad a**!”

    “Wait, you mean someone has already done this act before? Darn, back to the drawing board.”

  6. CiCi February 11, 2010

    @MHHMM Billboard is referring to female debut singles. It was cute that “Tik Tok” hit #1 for 4 weeks. But 8? now it’s ridiculous

  7. Terry February 11, 2010

    Who?

  8. Lovelarah February 11, 2010

    can u say: “1 hit wonder?”

  9. February 11, 2010

    i wonder how much meth she’ll buy with the money she gets from this…

  10. Austin February 11, 2010

    I don’t care what its doing on the charts. This song still sucks. I will never again put my ears through that torture.

  11. koko February 11, 2010

    These new artists with the same sound only have hit singles but not hit albums. While a single or two may do well, the album barely reaches gold. Its a shame because good music is struggling on the charts but this computer generated stuff is dong great. She better take it all in now.

  12. cutiegurl February 11, 2010

    she is a one hit wonder
    won’t be around for long

  13. cutiegurl February 11, 2010

    good music is not struggling

    Sade, AK, Mary J, Maxwell. There is hope
    Kesha will be lucky to hit gold lol

  14. Kyle February 11, 2010

    2nd best isn’t setting a record yet… here’s to hoping she doesn’t beat it.

  15. Malyeh February 11, 2010

    I CAN’T BELIEVE IT !!!

    WHAT THE F*** !

    Excuse me but I don’t understand !

    Listen to MJ, James Brown, even Beyoncé, Chris Brown or Gaga are million times better than that Ke$ha !!!!!
    And people PAY to hear that ^^ WOW ^^

  16. Rihxnna February 11, 2010

    @MHMMM idiot. its longest debut single at #1. SMH

  17. deejaybaps February 11, 2010

    one hit wonder too me that is just ridiculous! i mean i dont mind the song but its nothing special @ all!

  18. TeeTop February 11, 2010

    Her second single Blah Blah Blah already cracked the top 10 just on downloads.
    I don’t like it but she has some good songs though.

    LOL @ “Wait, you mean someone has already done this act before? Darn, back to the drawing board.”

  19. Alex February 11, 2010

    I wouldnt say shes a one hit hit wonder, her second single is already in the top 10 and is getting lot of airplay.

  20. Pinkpop February 11, 2010

    That article doesn’t make sense when the record was 10 weeks and she “only” spent 8 week at top. Or do I just don’t get it?

  21. Qc February 11, 2010

    Seriously?!?

  22. RANDOM February 11, 2010

    YASSSSSSS GO KE$HA

  23. That’s How They Get You February 11, 2010

    I told you she’s the new Lady Gaga. And if you still don’t get it, let me simplify. Electro is the new Disco. They make the same genre of music. Whether Gaga is a pianist or not, she makes f****** electronic/dance music with no soul. And that’s what’s hot right now. They will all go the way of disco once the fad is over.

  24. Raychel February 11, 2010

    People if you don’t like her music that’s okay but alot of people do i really like her music it’s fun it’s young it’s crazy just like me, it’s not meant for everybody!!! I mean, why do people have to try and say that music is ruined because she dosent make the type of music you think deserves to be number one… It’s about what people like, something that can make them dance and have fun, and that’s what Kesha does with her music…

    For people talking about her bad, I don’t understand why..if you don’t like her music and her you don’t like her, give credit where it’s due and move on

  25. TIKTOK February 11, 2010

    wait every time there’s a new IT artist out there they somehow manage to “break” a record, i need to start keeping tracks of these things cause i think you guys might be BSing us i mean there are only so many records that can be broken~!

  26. Aunt Jackie February 11, 2010

    @ Raychel

    People give criticism to this music for other reason’s than not liking her type of music.

    I think people have a problem with it especially because these artists aren’t what people consider ‘artists’ anymore.

    They don’t play instruments, most of them can’t even sing on key, they don’t dance….they are often just something a group of people created. An image and nothing more. I think people have a problem because there are a lot of people out there that simply don’t think about anything else but a catchy hook and the shiny image of a “singer”.

    If that’s what people like, than so-be it. But I think the criticisms of these artists are valid. People like Rihanna and Ke$ha seem so fake and manufactured….like a product.

    Why be called a ‘singer’ if you can’t sing on key or carry a tune or your voice cracks? Why be called an artist if all you do is sing over electronica beats?

    It’s not bad to like that music or these people, but it’s not fair to get upset when people think they’re music does not deserve to be number 1. Because remember, they are selling us music…..

  27. S*** February 11, 2010

    LMAO, Really?, The dumbest song ever to go #1 & probably the Worst managed to set a record?, What does that say about America & our youth. Tic Toc = DISPOSABLE Garbage, its not even Top 20 material…

  28. GetitIn February 11, 2010

    You knowww…
    I used to think it was Sam and Trent who define the word hatred, but I really am seeing that this blog is a catered seven course meal banquet to HATERS. Damn, cant yall just let someone get their shine? Now I dont think Ke$ha is the hottest or most talented thing out there, but she has been busting her b*** for years behind the scenes trying to make it, and when she does all you people do is HATE.

    I finally get that this blog is nothing but a bunch of negativity and hateration. This will definitely be my last time visiting this hot ass mess site.

    Keep hatin h***
    Yall do it all too well

  29. Mr.727 February 12, 2010

    I hate to interject my option, but I will! This is the stupidest s*** to ever be number one! How in the hell did she manage to do this??? If a song is going to be a one hit wonder at least make it sound good! Auto-Tune is for p****** that can’t carry a tune!!! 10 long years this s*** with this electronic beats have dominated the airwaves, it is always some computer beat used over and over again, to honest people it is time for real music to return, it is time for something new! This s*** she is talking about only confirms what i been saying about this new decade! Time to revolt againt this waste of talent and get people that actually sing, dance, use instruments again!!!!

    This type of music is about to dry the rest of it’s water out of the well!

  30. R February 12, 2010

    It’s a great party song… its 2010 people… with the recession and all this s*** happening in the world it’s a great mood-lifter… who cares if it’s not by a ‘serious’ artist? *cough Beyonce *cough*

    I’m from New Zealand… was number one there first in the world… I was a bit like WTF, but then when I looked around, I noticed most people’s number one pass-time/s are getting drunk and having casual s**… so in my view, it’s a perfect reflection of the times we’re in… unfortunately, I guess.

  31. Aryo February 12, 2010

    U blind haters
    cant yall see that the new generation should be dominating everything??
    Kesha ,GaGa, PCD,Rihanna or singers like them are THE 21ST CENTURY
    (beyonce will never be on the list cuz she’s boring and f****** lookin old)
    So plz take a look out there and come out of old things and just like what Raychel and Getitin said If U dont like some one so It doesn’t mean that others do too.

  32. YouPutTheLimeInTheCoconut February 12, 2010

    @GetitIn, what you have to understand is that hate generates more hate. This blog is notorious for showcasing blatant dislike for Kesha, and that’s why most of the replies on this blog toward her are negative – because a lot of these people who post on here don’t have a mind of their own and will gravitate toward Sam and Trent’s way of thinking. FACT.

    Rihanna is the most accurate example of this logic. FACT!

    Plain and simple, yall can talk whatever amount of s*** yall wanna talk about a b****, but the fact that this song is STILL #1 at 8 weeks disproves every single point and opinion Kesha’s haters have to make about her. One hit wonder this, one hit wonder that, gee…I never knew there were so many psychics that visited this blog. Yall seem to know everything about this chick; when she’s gonna “fade into obscurity”, her drug habits, her “trashiness”, etc.

    Clowns, all of you! Lol! If the song really was as bad as yall say it was, it would have never reached number 1 in the first place. Don’t hate, appreciate. And if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Kesha’s second single has been a Top 10 on the Hot 100 for 4 weeks now, this b**** ain’t going a damn place. I’m guessing most of these haters are Gaga stans?

  33. Jowork February 12, 2010

    ummm Sam, Ciara’s FIRST single GOODIEs was #1 for 8 weeks on the billboard Charts…maybe you forgot but it was #1 for 8 Consecutive Weeks! BAM! go check the sources out buddy 🙂

  34. SASHA February 12, 2010

    @JOWORK it was for 7 weeks check your facts

  35. DizzyGuy1985 February 12, 2010

    This song is garbage. Its nothing but a simple rhyme. Anything that is comprised of the words “blow my speakers up” “daylight” “wo wo WO OH” shouldn’t be number one. She doesn’t even sing. She just talks about how drunk she is. She is whack and her album FAIL!

  36. X,Y,”and Z” February 12, 2010

    YESSSSSSS — Congrats are in order; Ke$ha IS the new ‘IT-Girl!’ … What happened to Rihanna? If this girl had the PR team, and Def Jam’s bank-roll – forcing HER down-our- throats, as Def Jam is doing with Rihanna, she’d get getting Grammy after Grammy; endorsement after endorsement; and enough press-coverage – to last a life time!

    …. This just goes to ‘further-validate,’ if not prove WITHOUT-DOUBT, what I had speculated ’bout MONTHS ago; and was again “supported” by Susan Boyle’s CD sales: “Dark-and-Negative does NOT work!”

    Kei$ha, Dania Ramirez and Lady Gaga are “taking-down” the “Rihanna Empire” – Brick-by-Brick, while exposing lie-after-lie. Face it y’all: “THE RIHANNA-REIGN IS OVA!”

    X,Y, “and Z” — OUT!

  37. Rob February 12, 2010

    Uggh
    X,Y Z needs to be banned from the universe.
    Why are you still hating on Rihanna on a Ke$ha post?
    Resume to jacking off to Chris Brown posters!
    LAME.

  38. RANDOM February 12, 2010

    lol at shithead brown stans if he didn’t finish her then new musical acts wont there is room for everybody.

    we are speaking 4 albums later

    DISTURBIA was dark and negative and even more but look what that did.

    shithead brown got a new mix-tape maybe he did DISTURBIA part 2 and some of his lil s*** ass fans will off themselves

  39. X,Y,”and Z” February 12, 2010

    @Rob, as I’ve said before, not-too-long, from now, Def Jam/Rihanna will start to buy banner-space HERE – on TGJ; THEN, your wish(s), will come-true: I’ll be banished to “the bad-land’s-of-cyberspace!” …. Till such time: Na na na-na na……

    P.S. – “Jacking off to CB posters?!?!” — “Truer and more-telling words” – a Rihanna supporter couldn’t have said in a more “Rihanna-istic manner!”!

    You find me “compelling”, don’t you “Rob??” You find me difficult-to-read’, yet ‘read you MUST,’ and ‘read you WILL.’ Rob, I’ve never lied – ANY-AT-ALL- regarding Rihanna; you’ll find me, EXCEEDINGLY-CHARMING, Polite and will speak – ONLY the truth – EVEN when I lie!

  40. X,Y,”and Z” February 12, 2010

    @Random — You’re, yet another, Rihanna fan/supporter whose thoughts, and such-based-facts, are as scattered as Rihanna’s scruples and “virtue”: “HER LOVE-OF-BIG-D****,” NOT WITHSTANDING!

    “Random,” should you need reminding, “Disturbia” was released NOT in the “darkest and most-uncertain time” – in recent memory; certainly NOT within any blogger – whose yet-blogged, on THIS site! .. And it took “shithead Brown” to co-write Disturbia: He edited/re-wrote it, and THEN gave it to Rihanna!

    And you’re soooo right: it’s STILL on the itunes charts; $KA-CHING$ – for “shithead Brown!”

  41. Rihxnna February 12, 2010

    @xyz whats with “rihanna” in every of ur post! its getting really pathetic. get a life! -.-

  42. Keesha February 12, 2010

    The song SUCKS! It seems like mostly every song nowadays that hits number one sucks. I don’t get it. What happened to the GOOD music setting chart records?

  43. Rihxnna February 12, 2010

    i mean bashing rihanna heehee

  44. YouPutTheLimeInTheCoconut February 12, 2010

    @ Keesha, “good music” is highly subjective. What may be considered good music to you may not be considered good music to somebody else, and vice-versa. In all reality there’s no such thing as “good or bad” music. Music can only be good or bad based on ones own opinion, and opinions are like assholes – we all have one and they’re usually full of s***, as is the case with Kesha’s haters.

  45. X,Y,”and Z” February 12, 2010

    @RIHXXNA — Please, do tell: “Where among, these very entries, have YOU seen where I’ve “bashed” Rihanna?” If you can find “any-at-all,” I urge you to bring it to my attention!

    Did NOT Rihanna, herself, say that SHE “likes Big D****?” Sure she did! Didn’t she, herself, during that Rude-Boy video pull a guys pants open – “to have a look?” …Sure she did!
    Wasn’t it (As you Rihanna supporters refer to him) – “S***-Brown” who ‘co-write’ Disturbia? Of course he did!!

    If I’ve told you once – I’ll tell you twice: “I don’t lie, I don’t have to!” If there’s been anyone who lies -at EVERY turn, with EVERY CHANCE, A MICROPHONE IS PLACED IN FRONT OF HER – it’s Rihanna! I don’t envy you, nor any of her supporters/fans/disciples or employees: you defend a liar, cheat and user who’ll do and/or say anything to get to wherever she intends! But now, her “star-fades” as she (or Def Jam) severely miscalculated the publics ‘wants-and-needs….’

  46. yesyes February 12, 2010

    uhhhhhhhh GAD. She doesnt deserve it!!

  47. RANDOM February 12, 2010

    that is one of the darkest songs she had ever put out,had me wondering why so emo all of a sudden.i thought the relationship made her more emo only to find out who wrote that gem of a song.

    you sound like a bitter old b**** whats wrong didn’t he want you back.

    you defend a cheater,beater,abuser,user

    stay in your little wonder world where you still cant believe she left him just cus you wouldn’t or never did.

  48. POR QUE!!! February 12, 2010

    Everybody in the US is really into uptempo pop songs right now. That’s probably why slower songs aren’t really doing anything. All I hear on the radio when I actually listen to it is the same type of music. That’s the reason why I hate the radio. There’s no “We Belong Together” on top of the charts anymore.

    That Rihanna reign just won’t let up! 🙂

  49. X,Y,”and Z” February 12, 2010

    @Random — YOU defend a, ‘self-admitted’ confrontational, aggressive and violent individual: SHE, did brag-about, smashing-bottles upside her brother’s head in a 2007 interview.

    … And if memory serves, Def Jam wanted her to cross-over to a ‘different audience’ : out with the old: “Music Of The Sun”; in-with-the new: “GGGB!” So the “dark, brooding and foreboding” was a marketing-idea that Rihanna “took-to-heart” – which worked – as it did, ‘go-Platinum!’
    …As for “her leaving him?” Who cares? …But you SHOULD, by now, know that they weren’t “together” – as of Feb 8th/09!! …Don’t believe me? Have a look at the pictures of them at that Clive Davis Dinner/Banquet, and then tell me “they were having a ball and a great time!”

  50. RANDOM February 12, 2010

    you would know wouldn’t you.

  51. X,Y,”and Z” February 12, 2010

    @POR QUE — That “Rihanna Reign” has ‘pulled-up-lame’ and is gasping for breath: ’bout to be put out of it’s misery!

    First : CoverGirl signing-up a NEW “Fresh Face” – Dania Rameriz
    Second: The ‘baptism-by-fire’ Matt Kemp received, upon his, introduction-to-the-world, by way, of being seeing-with Rihanna!
    Third: This, now-revelation, that Ke$ha and Lady Gaga, have done the impossible – dethroned Rihanna as the “IT-Girl!”
    Fourth: (soon to follow) The realization that “Rihanna is TOXIC” and carries just-too-much baggage; this Epiphany is to be realized by Corporate America AND eventually … Def Jam. There-to-fore, the end of “Brand-Rihanna” – relegated to the ‘dust-bin of history’ and, NO-DOUBT, the reality-TV of popular culture!

    …. “Brick-by-Brick,” Lie-by-lie and “truths-being-realized,” the Rihanna Empire crumbles and WE, yes, even you, are better-off for it!

  52. X,Y,”and Z” February 12, 2010

    @Random — A picture; ‘body-english’ and gesticulations are worth 10,000 words; no-doubt: ‘lies and untruths’ – but only to NOT face a ‘painful-truth!’

    Rihanna (20/20 Interview): “No, I didn’t hit him, but if I did, he shouldn’t have done what he did!” — Huh?
    TMZ even admitted that SHE was the ‘Aggressor and Instigator’ upon reading HIS cell phone text message from a woman he previously had a sexual relationship with!
    … She “goes-off on him”, WHILE HE’S DRIVING, which almost made him loose control of the vehicle, and crash – putting BOTH their lives in danger – he takes, whatever-measures, to get her to stop. Who, THEN, can say, if he felt his life in danger, that HIS ACTIONS were – “over the top?” … I’ll tell you who: The State of California when they DID NOTcharge him with “assault and battery”; ‘ONLY’ the Intent to do harm: Assault and NOT, as I’ve said, “Battery!”

  53. POR QUE!!! February 12, 2010

    And if they hate then let ’em hate
    And watch the money pile up.

    How many times have you commented?
    Seriously?
    More power to you I guess 🙂
    I wish you well.

    Suck on this mother effer!

  54. RANDOM February 12, 2010

    you mean rihanna’s picture.

    b**** boy got a slap on the wrist and a pat on the head and told to never to it again,over a serious crime.

    he threw away her phone so she couldn’t contact anybody she threw away the keys so he couldn’t leave at least not by driving.he then called his ”peeps” to come get him then made sure to get his cd out of the car before they picked him up.he left the scene like he thought this was the block(how far did he think he would get such a dumb f***) and went home and changed only calling to check if the cops were called.why didn’t the ”peeps” ask where was rihanna and the car and why he was bloody and bruised. instead of just getting him away from the scene they could have easily called the cops.

    rihanna knew what she was doing when she threw the keys away if he got away who knows what YOU and the rest of his ”peeps” (including his mother)would have done to her.

  55. Rihxnna February 12, 2010

    wow i’ve never seen anyone post about rihanna as much as @xyz has

    who doesn’t even like her. get a life xyz

  56. X,Y,”and Z” February 13, 2010

    @Random — Let’s be “Real,” shall we? Rihanna HIT Chris; she got jealous, she hit him WITH HIS CELL PHONE, AND the SPIKED HEEL OF HER SHOES! … Whether YOU, like it or not, CBreezy was THE BEST THING that happened to Rihanna – BY FAR! Once again, due to HER – poor decisions – she’s ruined the “one-sure-thing” in HER LIFE! …Is Matt Kemp going to write songs for/with her, or get on-stage and dance/perform with her?
    You Rihanna fans/supporters are some of the dumbest people!

    ChrisB did more to help her career than ANYONE EVER could – ANYONE! Let me ask you this: Jay Z is a 40 y/o rapper, Kanye is fading; just how much more times can you rely on Jay coming-on-stage to get the crowds to show up? Rihanna and CBreezy were perfect, as far as, “onstage-performance,” don’t believe me? Go to youtube – watch and listen to the crowds when they were on stage together and “came-close” to each-other…..

    Rihanna ruined EVERYTHING when she decided to ‘snitch-on-Chris!’ She gave, “a-most, damning-statment”: ‘told ’bout hitting HIM before in Barbados and in Europe – this is why TMZ – her most ardent supporters ,during “Feb 8th Chrianna” – leaked excerpts of said statement, she made to the cops, where SHE was THEN called – the “Aggressor and Instigator!”

    What “talent(S)” does Rihanna have? ….What, looking-cute for the cameras? ANYONE can do that, ANYONE can get stylists, publicists/”the-right-image” and gimmickery to become the NEW “IT-GIRL!” Don’t believe me? … I give you Ke@ha and Lady Gaga!
    Rihanna should have kept HER mouth shut, and “dealt with matters” BEHIND-CLOSED-DOORS, instead of ‘blabbing-to-the-cops’ AND the press AT-EVERY-CHANCE!

  57. RANDOM February 13, 2010

    haha you silly old p******** i knew you would say something like that no snitch b*******.do you own a NO SNITCH t-shirt the ones GANG BANGERS were handing out,i bet you do.she could have given more details like the ones about you and that jay leno chin chick she should have went way harder.

  58. X,Y,”and Z” February 13, 2010

    @Random — “P********?” You Rhianna stans are becoming stranger with each-and-every-posting; REALLY! How ’bout 35 y/o Jay Z having relations with THEN 17 y/o, Rihanna….things that make you go Hmmmm……
    (Let’s NOT talk ’bout Jay Z, her mentor, adviser and confidant, who sold drugs to pregnant-women and under-aged-grade-school children!)

    Rihanna “told on herself” – you imbecile! That’s why the LAPD called her the “Aggressor and Instigator” and thats also why the DA’s office – even after seeing her Hospital records and that – now infamous picture of her – ONLY charged him with the INTENT of doing bodily harm (Assault) and NOT the actual ‘putting-of-hands-on-her’ (Battery)!!

    Rihanna told ’bout getting jealous and HITTING HIM in Barbados AND IN Europe – SHE TOLD THE COPS – NO ONE ELSE! WHY IS SHE TELLING ON HERSELF – MAKING HERSELF LOOK BAD? If she’d not had said anything, no-one, certainly NOT I, would have had anything to say ’bout said matters!! … Do I have to draw YOU a picture, or will you wait for that ‘coloring-book’ Rihanna will soon publish?

    … Rihanna just DON’T know when to ‘shut-up’ — PERIOD! …She ALSO “snitched-on-herself” when she, bragged to that reporter in ’07, that she smashed bottles upside her brother’s head – like I said: she just don’t know when to SHUT UP! …. She just L-O-V-E-S to hear herself talk – she snitched-HERSELF-out!!

  59. X,Y,”and Z” February 13, 2010

    @Random, — I think you’re talking ’bout Natalie Nunn: the “Jay-Leno-Chin-Chick.” …. Why would Chris have anything to hide, as far as, dating.seeing whoever? He said, sometime back, that he’s dating and have “moved-on!” If he did had ‘any-at-all’ relations with Ms. Nunn, why even deny it? … Cause it’s NOT-TRUE, that’s why! CBreezy….can do FAR-BETTER than that ‘scary-looking’ Natalie Nunn chick!

    Natalie Nunn is no-better than Tila Tequila; not to worry, not-too-long, from now, Rihanna will be doing Reality TV shows – you’ll see! CoverGirl’s signing of Dena Ramirez was, but the first, of many, ‘bricks-to-fall in the Rihanna Empire’; the Rihanna-Reign is officially FINISHED!

  60. RANDOM February 13, 2010

    chris was 15 so yes P********

  61. Zach June 12, 2010
