Jennifer Lopez Scores 1st Top 10 Hit In 8 Years With ‘On The Floor’

Published: Thursday 3rd Mar 2011 by Trent

Lady GaGa’s ‘Born This Way’ is continuing to dominate the Billboard Hot 100 but another superstar entertainer is hot on her heels. Jennifer Lopez’s ‘On The Floor (Ft. Pitbull)’ has debuted in the top 10 of the chart, becoming her 1st single to reach the tally’s summit in 8 years.

‘On The Floor’ enters this week’s Hot 100 lineup at #9, giving Lopez her 1st top 10 single since ‘All I Have (Ft. LL Cool J)’ which hit #1 in 2003. The track, which sold an impressive 170k downloads, is also her 1st top 20 entry since 2005’s ‘Get Right’ in 2005.

With increasing airplay and consistent sales, Lopez seems on course to challenge Lady GaGa’s ‘Born This Way’ for the top spot in the coming weeks. However, ‘Born…’ continues to break records by becoming the 1st song to debut at #1 and remain at the chart’s peak for 3 weeks since Aerosmith’s ‘I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’ in 1998.

‘Born…’ is also the first sing by a female artist to do this since Mariah Carey’s ‘Honey’ which was released in 1997. ‘Honey’ was Carey’s 3rd #1 single to debut at the top position, giving her more #1 starter entries than any other act in history.

  2. Jay March 3, 2011

    YESSS!!!!! JLO deserves everything thats happening to her! I LOVE HER…. nd IM over Gaga already. I miss the Just Dance/Pokerface gaga. Her New song is wack btw. What? cuz she says its for the gays thats why its successful and has sold so many copies…s*** im Gay and i hate that song. LMAO

  3. J03FAmOuS March 3, 2011

    AND WHO SAID JLO’S MUSIC CAREER WAS OVER!?

  4. SAM March 3, 2011

    WOW. i never though JLO could make it big again…American Idol sure does wonders.

  5. up March 3, 2011

    Go J.Lo

  6. DANCE March 3, 2011

    THAT’S RIGHT!! JLO IS F****** BACK!!! That’s what I call a f****** comeback! And for those ready to say that it’s all due to American Idol… Ummm both Paula and Randy’s attempts to push their careers flopped. Don’t you ever forget SHE IS THE ORIGINAL TRIPLE-THREAT! Her career was the blueprint for all your faves! Sony must be hitting themselves, which goes to show you it had a lot to do with how her label handled her as well!

    And with the release of the video tonight… More success to come!

  7. Alex T March 3, 2011

    Glad you got your little Mariah plug in there. It was just that necessary.

  8. JJFAN1814 March 3, 2011

    Gaga aint got s*** to worry about. On The Floor is already falling down iTunes and Gaga is still #1 on iTunes….

    OTF sales might increase since the video is debuting on Idol tonight.

    Either way, congrats to J.Lo

    More congrats to Gaga <3

  9. JJFAN1814 March 3, 2011

    Rihanna’s S&M has a better chance of taking #1 away from Gaga than J.Lo

  10. Jo March 3, 2011

    JLO congrats on the new top ten hit! Love the song and love all your albums, can’t wait for LOVE?

  11. fareth March 3, 2011

    This is why Mariah needs the x factor usa!

  12. Tha Phoenix March 3, 2011

    So glad to see JLO back and slaying the charts. I’ve always loved her.

    And – as loyal a lamb as I am – I’m getting a bit tired of Trent slipping Mariah’s name into as many posts as possible, no matter how weak the relation.

    *sips Martini and goes back to newspaper*

  13. J March 3, 2011

    Where are the HATERS that said mama was a flop? Where are the haters that said she was too old to be doing this? Where are the haters that said she should stay home because she had 2 kids? Smh.

    The haters must be PRESSED right now! lmfao! Hey, if they aint hating on you Jenny, then you aint relevant!

    YESSSSS!! JENNIFER LOPEZ IS BACK BITCHESSSSSSSSS!!! Deal! 😉

    P.S. Trent you also forgot to mention that this his her 10th Top 10 hit (9 as a solo-artist). And if I’m not mistaken one of the few female artists to hit the Top 10 in the 90s, 00s, and the 10s era. And also btw the 1ST FEMALE over 35 to accomplish this feat. Age ain’t nuffin but a number so let’s not be ageist people. If Jay-Z, Jamie Foxx, and so many others can continue to have success over 40, then so can the females such as Jennifer, Mariah, or Janet. Let’s congradulate!

  14. hp March 3, 2011

    good for her*still cant sing*

  15. Yay March 3, 2011

  22. bdayboy09 March 3, 2011

    And the haters are now formulating possible reasons, such as ‘she still can’t sing’ and ‘gaga’s still better’ and all that hating crap.

    Threatened much?

    J.Lo’s back, and no one can stop her right now. End of story. 😉

  29. Fatima March 3, 2011

    Nobody can compare Rihanna, Ke$ha, Gaga or Katy Perry to Jennifer Lopez.

    JLO has been out of the game for a long time, & radio times have changed. The fact that she was able to pull this off is AMAZING!

    Very happy to see a 41 year old woman teach those younger girls what the business is all about!

  30. MissImpartial March 3, 2011

    She needs to release the video and do an American Idol performance and the single could reach No1. If not a top 3 single. Either way the song is a success. Well done J.Lo.

  31. PR_STAR March 3, 2011

  36. gabs March 3, 2011

    Congrats to JLO but realize…she needed American Idol, Lady Gagas producer, and a sample of a famous latin dance song (lambada) to do it. Good for her but dont you people act like shes crushing gaga efforlessly or anything. Jenny is hustling every week tues and weds at 8 to make this happen. Still love her though. Also LOVE Mariah, huge fan but stop posting about her so much when shes not even in the conversation. ugh

    @Tha Phoenix

    “And – as loyal a lamb as I am – I’m getting a bit tired of Trent slipping Mariah’s name into as many posts as possible, no matter how weak the relation”

    LMAO! He will ALWAYS find a way to involve Mariah – The single hit the #1 spot on Billboard the same day Mariah decided she wanted Chinese takeout, instead of waffles.

  42. J March 3, 2011

    How is she hustlin? Did she spark some interest, yes most def, but “American Idol” hasn’t been promoting her musical career up until really tonight when they will premiere her new music video.

  46. Taylor swifts number 1 fan March 4, 2011

    Haha, to the person that said.. born this way would do a britney and get to nunber 1 then drop fast… thats 3 weeks at number 1.

  47. Sousou March 4, 2011

    I am so glad for J-Lo, she deserves it. Thanks to all the fans and non fans who say it right, and please don’t talk about some SO OVERRATED people here that everybody knows they can just make big in the US and not everywhere else. It’s a big difference to be overrated and a talented ARTIST. There are so many ageist people who still think their younger artists are something, but hey since they get enough supports from the US media and doing a lot of promos, it can make sense but look at Jennifer’ look, she clearly looks much younger and she can prove the age is just a number, she’s slaying not only in the US but in all the world and there’s no promo yet, her single did wonders in Europe and she didn’t even do even a radio interview since when ? 2007, even Louboutins had no official release date in Europe.

    Congratulations for Jennifer, the girl proved every doubter wrong, I love how she can create her glory in her own, Jennifer Lopez is a very big name in all the world, the only one who does it all, I find her in music, dance, movies, fashion, business, so if anyone does not love, it means they hate.

    @ Katde luna fan : Just go and support your poor kat, that still can’t even achieve her first hit since years ago, does she still even make music ? I’m serious no joke. Lambada samples are used in a better and different way for ANOTHER song which On The Floor, thus song has nothing do with that Kat’ song, if there are some similarities, then you have to blame the producer, however, the songs are still SO DIFFERENT from each other, and On The Floor is even better, look at how it’s slaying with no promo. If you think American Idol is a promo then it did nothing for Paula and Randy, that’s the best response for you, and now shut the f*** up, you just make yourself and Kat herself a laughable joke here.

  48. Sousou March 4, 2011

    Again, I am so happy for Jennifer Lopez for her comeback in the US and all the world. OMG, and it has no promo yet in all the world including the US.

    The glory days begin to come again for Jennifer. The world is waiting for more….

  49. Sousou March 4, 2011

    @ J I love you and you know Jennifer has her name in both the US and Latin US music markets, her only Spanish album stayed # 1 in several week in the Latin relevant charts in the music, etc… OMG There are a lot of her achievements in general and in different domains.

  50. Traci Summers March 4, 2011

    BREAKING RECORDS DONT MEAN S***. J.LO/BRANDY have sold MILLIONS yet they fell of. its about the music they make

  51. Sousou March 4, 2011

    @ someone here who said she’s still can’t sing. She can sing live, right ? so she can, and she even got a nomination for her vocal performance on the Latin Grammy in 1999 for a ballad Spanish song ” No Me Ames”, etc… So stop hating, the reason why Jennifer is not famous for her voice cause she has better skills, however her voice is so amazing and so many people love it. Plus she makes dance songs more than ballads, however, she was underrated many times when it comes to the awards, I know she has plenty of awards to be proud of, like the recent one, the legendary award of the World Music Awards, but I still see some artists who did not deserve to win many awards and when you see artists like Nirvana and many many others who never won a Grammy, then there must be a problem. There are some underrated artists for the awards, but who cares ? I personally never met someone said this one won something. Plus, they are famous anyway and their achievements are loved by so many artists, I think I was so deep, and it’s clear all what I said, everyone knows about that, so I just liked to post that here,

    Jen has sold 55 million albums in a short time with no international promo or a tour and we know how tours can increase the album’ sales, but she didn’t as she was busy in doing music and movies all time, now I’m ready for her tour that she already talked about. I’m extremely proud/glad or whatever for her comeback and seeing haters eating their words now. In brief, I should go and keep supporting my idol.

  52. i’m a billy goat *cough* with bronchitis March 4, 2011

    Wow this is just as crazy as that nonsense song by ady Gaga, BTW! I love JLO’s classic hits but this rt. here has only been helped by her American Idol judge status!

  53. i’m a billy goat *cough* with bronchitis March 4, 2011

    I guess that hot mess by Kim Kardashian will enter the charts at #1! Just when I thought it was safe to get back in the water…LOL!

  54. deman March 4, 2011

    so happy for queen JLO ***BOWS DOWN***

  55. DION-ISH March 4, 2011

    YESSS J-Lo!!!

    So happy for her, Cant wait til she drops the album!

  56. Aladerri March 4, 2011

    wow JENNIFER deserves a big comeback!!!!!!
    I hope she can reach the #1 on Billboard Hot 100

  57. JohnVidal March 4, 2011

    Mariah Carey owns everybody!!! haha I love it.
    People it is surprising On the floor is getting moderate succes, specially since her last hit was in 2003. But stop acting like she is slaying cos you have Born this way just breaking records left and right. Not mariah records of course, that´s almost impossible even with easy pop music like most of nowadays artists do. But she is really slaying (GAga I mean), not JLo. Let´s wait till the album drops if she really makes a comeback (something like Adele impressive first week numbers) or it is just she was lucky for using that lambada sampler. On the floor is crap anyway!!!

  58. JER March 4, 2011

    These divas are all slaying it. Good for BeYAWNce that Katy Perry, Rihanna, Britney, and Gaga are all killing it now so when they’re done she can release her album with no competition and proclaim herself queen of the game like she always does. YAWN.

  59. Gucci March 4, 2011

    @KAT DELUNA FAN

    Ok girl but where in the hell is Kat DeTuna? Why are you coming for J. Lo and yet you stan for someone who is less relevant than burnt toast.

    Anyway, S&M is still winning at #5 this week. Who mad?

  60. Slick March 4, 2011

    Im am SOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!! JLO!!!!!!

  61. sane beyhanna stan March 4, 2011

    I’m proud of J.Lo people love to say she’s “talentless” but her perseverance kept her in the game and she deserves it!

  62. sugarwall March 4, 2011

    Mariah is and will always be on the top!

  63. Kathy March 4, 2011

    I’m kinda happy for her! On the Floor may be like everything out there, but it is fun and catchy, and i like the Latin flavor.

  64. lola March 5, 2011

    Oh shut the f*** up already you JNO ass lickers! “Are you haters mad?” Stop trying to act like JNo is making a comeback! Didn’t Nelly sell over 3 million of “Just a Dream” and then had a flopping ass album??? JNO is washed up and will not succeed this time around. How stupid are y’all? Do you even look at the Billboard charts? The Top 10 is filled with generic, bubblegum, crappy, electronic music! Anyone can go to number 1 with a techno, dance-pop, electo-pop, or euro-pop song now-a-days! It’s easy as hell to get a Top 10 and number 1 when you release a song that sounds like everything else that is out. It’s even easier when you’ve had mega success in the past. Face it! JNO has always gotten lucky in her career because she’s always released music that was IN! When hip-hop and R&B was big in the early 00’s, she did it and succeeded. Had she released a pop ballad, it would not have even gotten in the Top 50!

    Wow, reading these comments just make me SMH at how dumb you guys are! As long as you make generic music, you will sell singles. Watch…. this single is going to start falling off the charts just like Britney’s HIAM!

  65. CTSTS March 5, 2011

    Ok so i have one question, now who’s mad???!!! Hahahahahahaha!

  66. david March 6, 2011

    my gurl is BACK do your thing mama…thats right don’t hate…41 yr old banging body, hot face!!!
