so I laughed so much seeing CB and JUSTINE in this list , it is OH-Kay to me !
but where’s BEYONCE ?!
Where’s any single out of 4 in those lists ?!!
I think I will find her in a HOPELESS PLACE , the same goes to 4 😆
now after the Grammys kicked “4” out , billboard BITCHslapped it and BLOCKED it to be even in BASIC b****** flopped album CHART !! 😥
DAMN ! now I think “4” was that bad of an album !
LET me hear the BEYhive excuses after the JUMB !
but their’s will have those lines :
” 4 is not generic , so .. “as if 21 was generic )
“4 is not dance , so .. ” as if 21 was dance”
” 4 is not pop , SO .. ” ( as if 21 was POP)
“4 is R&B , so .. ” ( as if MOTIVATION was not r&B)
” 4 is not music , so .. ”
“beyonce is black , so ” ( as if ppl like NM are white )
“beyonce is pregnant , so .. ” (as if Adele needed to shake her ass to get those monster sales )
“Adele is hot right now , that’s why .. ” ( as if Adele is not a bey Stan herself and how bey stans always been proud , for strange reasons , about it ) so that will make bey the queen by default , but judging from those lists , she’s only a queen in the minds of her stans 😆 !!
be humble when yo b**** keep on FLOPPING IN THE DEEP ” in adele’s voice” !!
ETC …
can’t wait to see them !!
Hot Dam!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty reflective of the year. Nothing to see here really–other than that Rihanna is NOT dominating, as her rabid, insane stans would have the world believe.
It’s Party Time, bytches!!!!!!!
i see you nicki gratz,and gartz to the others too.
*Rihanna
Where FLOPonce with 4closure?? Lmaooooo 🙂
4 is about content not sales or hit singles! Oh ok I really believe that. Beyonce flopped this era. Get over it.
Anyhow, its great that my girl Rihanna is on the charts for being a top artist and for her ALBUM sales. Y’all love to say she’s a single artist but her album is on the year end list unlike your faves.
Webadumad!
Dontgetdragged!
Yeh, Yea, Yea, But come on now AUNTIE JACKIE, She still made the list though, and since the haters deems RIHANNA UNTALENTED Hummmmm
i am so SHOCKED To see Her name Listed on this List that is strickly
for the TALENTED ARTIST, And not that hot ass Goat from the Caribbean now don’t that make you put your DEPEND RIGHT BACK ON AUNTIE JACKIE!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THE HATERS , RIHANNA’S NAME MADE THE LIST AND SHE IN EUROPE SOME PLACE LOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!
Rihanna’s s*** is so tight it make
some of the Greats not care about HITS
ANYMORE Now that is some hot s*** right there.
“4 is about content not sales…” blah blah blah …ok, RihannaNavy yall can use that same ass lame excuse this time next year if TTT doesnt outsell 4
its settled… lol
@auntie :

Rihanna is not dominating ?!
Then your FAv is not having an album released in the first place ! cuz I don’t even see her !!
Look at the TOP artists list DUMBass and don’t let JEALOUSY blind you !
Rihanna is RIH-dominating and u know it and it is hurting you to see it I know 😥
you will be hurting for a long time , take it from me b**** 😉
Adele is missing from that pic …then, it would have been EVERYTHING!! ok, add Britney TOO! lol
Lmao chris charted 43 times, why u mad tho?
Pop Royalty, lmao you funny as hell, Rihanna is #2 on top artists, and she’s #9 on the billboard 200 year end list. yet i don’t see her in any top 10 of singles (not digital nor pop) with actually her song.
She isn’t dominating at all, adele on the other hand…
Congrats to Chris Brown & Adele <3. Proud of Christopher the rest I could care less about

Wow, as bad as the media tries to do my baby Breezy, he did quite well on the Billboard’s Year End Chart lists! Funny,’ LAMN’ is the top Rap Song yet countless award shows elected to acknowledge that crap ‘Super Bass’ instead! Anywho, YEAH 3X for Chris Brown!
Side note: Adele really did snatch all wigs in 2011 didn’t she? LOL 🙂

Chile, he did pretty well in comparison to rihanna right?
@ETHAN :
HUSH C*** …
the TOP artist list is all what ACTUALLY matters ! 😡
other lists ” minus the album list” are not that IMPORTANT and don’t change the fact that some of the ppl in them are FLOPS with their latest flopped album !

They (Ri, Chris) both did well…Lets stop this hate and comparison..damn!
@THE LEGENDARY LACEFRONCE
STFU! Raggedy RihANNa doesn’t deserve to be on a list anywhere near a true talent like Adele! She might be obese but at least she not a beast…..baa, howling goat!
Get Adele & Chris! Screw the rest especially Raggedy!!
Everything and Everyone on that list is GENERIC TRASH! The hating ass Grammys must’ve called Billboard and told them not to put artist who release REAL ASS MUSIC on here!!!

______________________________________________
She’s #2 on the overall top artists list and thats WITHOUT being n any of the singles lists xcept 1…how culd she be #2 if she didnt dominate on the singles lists? Katy Perry was on several singles lists yet still came behind Rih..how is this? Cuz Rih is a bad b****! #NEXT————–>
Good songs and album, well done all!
Well done Adele she really did well in USA.
Naw b****** are your faves suck, you b****** always hyping up trash ass music! I’m glad Adele slayed these dragon b******! Now only if we get more “REAL” artist to make music like Adele did, the maybe this s*** wouldn’t consist of lame ass music!!! Again you live in livid dream about Beyanwce, but again, who run’s the world! Adele!!!!!
People can say whatever they like about BEYONCE but I’m sure she isn’t phased in the least! So what if a lesser act such as “Raggedy the tragedy” Rihanna gets a little shine this year. GOOD FOR HER! Even the students who ride the “short yellow bus” need to shine from time to time! 🙂
gratz nicki, looks good on the charts she is doing her thing,and gartz to CB the haters was knocking him hard but he pulled through.

This list is ACURATE to the T! BillBoard isnt biased..theyre just going off SUCCESS
Well, no surprises here. I’m just glad to see my fave on the list. He was definitely doing his thing on the r&b side this year. I’m not really here for anyone else. Congrats to all that made the list though. *shrugs*
WHUT, THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THAT S*** 100%%%
TTT can flop like Kelly Rowland and she will still have something 4 will never have: a #1 single.
Talk that talk to me all night!
@TeamBreezy Thats a goddamn lie and you know it B****!! Billboard AINT S*** or we would seen some REAL ASS ARTIST who make REAL ASS MUSIC on this phony ass list here!!! This is a motherfucking INSIDE job these b****** cant fool me!!!
Yall gotta know that we gon get a Rih post and Sam gon be throwin shade left n right……but it’s ok…that just means they Mad….they gotta reason to be…..#STAYMAD…LOOOL
*DEAD* at Beyonce not being on the list at all. SMH! This just really wasn’t her year. Oh well, maybe when she pops out that baby she will come back in full force. ‘4’ was really a dope underrated album though. I think it was her best yet. *shrugs*
I must say I am shocked that BEP did so good.
Didn’t even do that good wow.
@WHUT
Billboard is an “INSIDE JOB”??..The f*** kinda conspiracy theory are u talkin bout? LOL …Child they go off sales and charts!! Do your RESEARCH
@VA STAND UP NUMBER ONE on urban you basic hating ass b****!! DEAL!!!
@WHUT
Billboard is an “INSIDE JOB”??..The hell kinda conspiracy theory are u talkin bout? LOL …Child they go off sales and charts!! Do your RESEARCH ..
PS no need to call me a lying B****…Lets not get disrespectful plz…thanks
Idk why everybody is so damn excited about rihanna becoming billboard artist of the year actually number two when my face got billboard artist of the decade!! Smh I try to like rihanna but I love how the navy always brings up bey and throw major shade, and then get mad when we throw it back. Smh. Beyonce wasn’t even in any of these categories does that make her less talented then these artists nope, does this take away from her other achievements, nope!! Just because someone has a hit song it doesn’t make them better and that’s the problem with the navy you guys think cuz rihanna LAST album sold well she got a few hit singles that she’s better than beyonce. She isn’t! And she never will be record sells don’t mean s***, it all comes down to it its about the music and all of beyonces album, performances Shits all over rihannas 6 albums!!
@TeamBreezy thats what they want your ass to believe son!! You think if that were true we would have a list full of GENERIC TRASH bum b****** right here? This is an inside motherfucking job open your eyes clown!!!
@WHUT
Your so called “Generic Trash” is what sells and ends up ruling the charts of billboard…EVERY Artist on the list has had SUCCESS on the Charts this year….no inside job, no Government Conspiracy …. its NOT that f****** Serious
Bey is number #25 on the artist list (top female R&B artist and I think her hubby is a bit lower) and her album is the top R&B album. Anyway, I don’t think Bey and Jay care about these lists, they are making more money than everyone on the list and are about to have their first child. Like someone said above, Bey will be back full force to shut the haters up after she has the little one. Enjoy Bey’s version of mediocre while it lasts.
DID yall KNOW BillBoard was an INSIDE JOB and a Government CONSPIRACY THEORY??
Well Chile i just got the INTEL from Miss @WHUT !! Thanks Girl
You motherfucking mean to tell me that someone like Rihanna is supposedly slaying then and REAL ASS ARTIST who release REAL ASS MUSIC that go STRAIGHT to number 1 on urban aren’t?!!!! Gurl get the f*** outta here with that weak s***!!!
Hide yo KIDS…Hide yo Wives…
BILLBOARD is an INSIDE JOB and a GOVERNEMNT CONSPIRACY THEORY!
ohhh I see….ur BEEF with the list was Rihanna…guess I should say, ur COCONUT with this list was Rihanna ! lol …
TEAMBREZZY, I CAN TELL YOUR BRIANWASHED! THE ONLY REASON THIS S*** SELLS IS RETARDED MUTHAFUCKAS LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEAL OF WHAT IIT IS TO HEAR REAL MUSIC! YOU LAMES STAY ON THE TRASH S***, AND I BELIEVE W WHEN SHE SAYS IT IS AN INSIDE JOB! BACK IN THE DAY THIS S*** WOULDN’T EVEN FLY, CUZ BACK THEN A B**** HAD T KNOW HOW TO SING, AND AT LEAST KNOW HOW TO MAKE MUSIC WORTH A F***! TEAMBREZZY THAT IS WHY YOUR FAVE IS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! BORING ASS POP TRASH S***! SO GLAD WHEN THIS S*** IS PLAYED OUT, AND THAT SOONER THAN YOU THINK, F*** TARD!
BTW, the only person listed above who made good music in my opinion is ADELE. I’m glad at least one artist was able to break the barrier by releasing quality music and having chart success simultaneously. Outside of Adele, the state of today’s music makes it very difficult to achieve both. Adele is an exception to the general rule that releasing good music nowadays does not guarantee major chart success or awards. Bey put out good quality music with mediocre chart success and pretty good sales. She made her choice. She has already enjoyed major chart success and awards and has earned the right to do whatever makes her happy. As a huge fan of her album ‘4’, I’m glad she put principal over position.
This is B*******!!!! I DEMAND ANSWERS!!!! Where are the REAL ASS ARTIST who f****** release REAL ASS MUSIC that SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSS the Urban charts on this MOTHERFUCKING LIST BILLBOARD?!!!!1
Beyonce FLOPPED
LIke someone said, GET OVER IT
THE B FLOPPED and didn’t snatch NARY a WIG!
@A Nu Day Has Come
My BOO Breezy made the list(s)…Thanks .. and yes, IT IS A NEW DAY …and I dont consider Adele pop TRASH! I f****** luv her
@Pop Royalty (RUDE BOY)
I know you’re not trying to compare that talentless SLORE Raggedy RihANNa – the media darlin’ – to the truly talented and gifted Chris Brown! Chris does not need the media’s favor to shine as his continued success proves! I can’t wait until they turn on McFenty in 2012. Then and only then will we see just how “talented an act” she really is! Rihanna’s 15 minutes would have been up long ago but not for her constantly using Chris Brown in name and/or image (see WFL video)! For further proof of her decline see that GOD AWFUL 2011 JINGLE BELL BALL PERFROMANCE!
Quality Music- Good Music = Personal Opinion
Thats all OPINION, personal OPINION….I like Chris Browns Music cuz in MY OPINION its good…If ur stuck in the 90s well then im SOrry for ya!
Music is CHANGE

THIS RIGHT HERE! 🙂
@ WHUT, COCKINESS & POP RAYALTY
I luv yall. Yall are ALWASY on point.
@ The Beyhives… I know yall ain’t even tryna come after TTT.
MEDIATRAFFIC
4closure Vs TTT
511.000 504,000
232,000 282.000
743,000 Local wannabee
“Best thing I never had” could have at least been on the Radio list….that song was on the radio at least EVERY 5 MINUTES, something isn’t right about this….
@Team Breezy they only put that fat b**** in there so ppl would have less questions about this SHADY ASS list!!! I cant believe you cant see whats happening gurl!!
If all these artist had all these supposed sales why didn’t I see any of them at number 1 on urban….I’ll wait….and why the artist that be killing the only real chart that matters on BB get NO RECOGNITION on here?!!… I’ll wait.
Rihanna is dominating more than Beyonce IS
IF Rihanna is not dominating then Beyonce is not even RELEVANT
Where at though? yeah that’s what i thought b****! Save that s*** for thew lockers b****!
beyonce is a super flop thats what she gets for being a copycat and a super youtube thief ! to the stans: WHEN U HATE ON KERI HILSON THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO UR FLOP KING . BEYONCE HAS FAILED ON THE CHARTS AND PRETTY GIRL ROCK CHARTED HIGHER THAN COUNTDOWN , PARTY RUN THE WORLD AND 1+1 , IT EVEN CHARTED HIGHER THAN LISTEN , AT LAST , VIDEOPHONE AND GREENLIGHT ,LOL BEYONCE MIGHT HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE THE 90’S BUT SHE IS NOT A ICON OR DOES SHE HAVE A DIAMOND ALBUM LIKE MJ USHER AND BRITNEY SPEARS.
After 2 weeks on mediatraffic:
TTT 786,000 > 4closure 743,000
Worldwide Icon > Local wannabee
And Beyonce had done BET Aways, Billboard awards, Oprah, Xfactor, July 4th at Central Park, GMA, Glastonbury, 2 videos,CNN Piers Morgan, Special documentary playing on MTV, VH1 & BET at the same time……
While Riri just did 3 performances
OH BEYONCE STANS ARE TRUE HATERS THEY HATED RIHANNA NOW SHES ON TOP THEY HATE KERI HILSON BUT WATCH KERI HILSON SLAY BEYONCE NEXT YEAR AGAIN. THEY HATE ON CIARA BUT CIARA DONT STEAL DANCE MOVES LIKE BEYONCE . CIARA CAN DANCE BETTER THAN BEYONCES ASS!
Rihanna is DOMINATING.
The only reason why OnlyGirl & WMN didn’t make it is because they were plit between 2billlboard years.
@Samantha,
Whateva happen to ur usual b**** fest of nasty comments?
Non today?
U usually have so much to comment on those kind of list.
Could it be because Beyawnce’s caree has been 4closed on?
LOL
@WHUT
DAMN girl…I was almost on ur side til u started sayin ADELE is only on the list so it looks official…WOW!!! Gurl ADELE SLAYED 2011..R u kidding me?? How u gonna doubt that too? SMH
ps
So URban is the only BB chart that matters?? (scratches head)
How did Miguel beat out 7 week #1 Motivation??
Kelly def had the Number 1 R&B song of the year!!
@HITSMAN
Agreed!
@A Nu Day Has Come
I’m not really sure what you are blathering on about but not all music produced in 2011 was generic. Sure a great deal of manufactured acts who are heavily backed by a biased media seem to top many of the lists this year (e.g. Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Naked Perry, Justin Bable etc). That doesn’t mean however, Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E., Beyonce’s 4, R.Kelly’s Love Letters and quite a few others , were not well developed and very well appreciated CDs inspite of who sold what. The music industry is controlled as well as the media. Most media outlets are owned by the very record company’s that produce these acts. It is what it is. Just support those artists that you believe in regardless of their Billboard list entry!
SINCE THE FAKEJUICE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO SHADE, ME BEING A LIEUTENANT IN THE NAVY DECIDED TO RELEASE THE GREATNESS THAT IS RIHANNA’S BILLBOARD YEAR END STATS!!!

Congrats to Adele,Gaga,and Rihanna for making the list.
4 is underrated 🙁 .
Congrats to Nicki, Rihanna, Adele and Katy Perry who charted the most on all cross genre tabs! No shade from me today 🙂
BEYONCE STOLE DANCE MOVES FROM AFRICANS TO MAKE RUN THE WORLD GIRLS , SAMPLED MAJOR LAZORS BEAT , MADE A DEMONIC VIDEO ,STRIPPED DOWN NAKED FOR 1+1 VIDEO , SHOOK HER ASS ON DANCE FOR U , STOLE FROM ANNE TERESA AND KHIA FOR PARTY AND COUNTDOWN , STOLE NEW EDITION’S VIDEO IF IT WASN’T LOVE, AND HER EXCUSE IS ” I WAS INSPIRED” SHE LIES ABOUT WRITING SONGS AND DIRECTING HER OWN VIDEOS AND THE STANS TALK S*** ABOUT OTHER ARTIST WHEN THEIR FLOP KING IS NOTHING BUT A FRAUD.
@ LAX, Pop Royalty & Teacher
Um, no my favorite is no where on there–because Amy Winehouse died this year. My favorite sounds better drunk and falling down on stage that YOURS does! Just because I acknowledge the true TALENT Beyonce doesn’t mean she’s my favorite, because she most certainty is not–not even close.
But seriously, Rihanna is great. This list just shows have greatly exaggerated her success is by her IN-SANE-IN-THE-BRAIN fans. I wasn’t saying anymore, or any less. So don’t get salty. B**** has 11 #1’s, remember?
Congrats to katey whorey.. Sorry beyonce maybe ur daddy should still be managing ur flopping career babe.
AND biggest shot out to Nicki, girl for a debut artist u did #TeamMinaj proooud!!!
I don’t know how Rihanna never manages to get in to the top ten singles of the year even though she always has number one singles. That is bad. She sure is no singles queen.
@HitsMan @Teambreezy
I was thinking the exact same thing!
I think these ppl have their favorites as we have seen on the VMAs, AMAs etc. so it is what it is. Although I did enjoy both songs, Motivation I thought spent more weeks at #1! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Um, no my favorite is no where on there–because Amy Winehouse died this year. My favorite sounds better drunk and falling down on stage that YOURS does! Just because I acknowledge the true TALENT Beyonce doesn’t mean she’s my favorite, because she most certainty is not–not even close.
But seriously, Rihanna is great. This list just shows have greatly exaggerated her success is by her IN-SANE-IN-THE-BRAIN fans. I wasn’t saying anymore, or any less. So don’t get salty. B**** has 11 #1′s, remember?
____________________________
Rihanna stans have not exaggerated nethng! All year we’ve sed that Adele was slaying and continues to slay every1…and other than her, Rih was the next one in line who was doing her thing slayin b****** left n right….we just had to defend her from ppl sayin that she was floppn n not doin s***..when clearly this list proves that we were right and the bitter b****** were wrong and lying to make themselves feel better…That list is the proof….AND Rihanna is talented!
@Mobwife u us mad cuz Chris Brown still ain sold a million….#NEXT…..loLOL
Congrats to everyone.
“Motivation…Go Go Go Go!” I’m proud of “Sure Thing” too. It’s kind of weird how that song didn’t get nominated for a grammy. Like who does the academy consist of?

No one ever tries to up rihanna’s success as hard as the loosers tries to bash the hound dog hell out of her and she still rises up to the occasion, ha, ha, ha.
i see u ms kelly – work!
Congratz! to Chris and the others. I see he will killing the game 2011 and looking forward to 2012. Say “Hi” to the Haters…
And if the Historians wanted to they could do a super cool write up about RIHANNA’S Success just in the UK. To say RIHANNA wasn’t hot in the UK
WOULD BE AN Understatement “TTT” Making all kinds of news headlines.
Went #1 Album and #1 Saingle and that was Histo-rih Making all in itself not
to mention she did it with “Loud” Her Album going #1 and A Single going #1
Hummmmmmmmm she’s also broken a flurry of additional Chart Records
when she did it with “Loud”.
PS What RIHANNA DID WITH TWO ALBUMS AND 2 SINGLES GOING #1 IN THE SAME YEAR THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DONE IN 39 YEARS AND 6 MONTHS IN OFFICIAL ALBUM CHART HISTO-RIH,,,,,,,,AND WITH RIHANNA’S
MUCH SUCCESS SHE HAS JOINED THE LIKES OF HIGH MUSICA ACHIEVERS MICHAEL JACKSON, ELTON JOHN, BLONDIE AND ROBBIE WILLIAMS NOWWWWWW IF THATS NOT A BIG PUKKKKKKKKIN DEAL PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE PUKKKKKK IS?????????
Some of these artists really deserve it, especially Adele,Gaga & C Breezy for all of his hard work. Congrats to Rihanna to she works really hard. Shout out to all of the r&b artists as well, they’ve did their thing and deserve their recognition also.
I remember now how we started the year!
Do you guys remember people were going crazy fighting about who was gonna be bigger among Gaga, Britney and Beyonce??????? LOL It was SOOO clear even before of hearing their singles. Now you have the final results. Talent wins
Adele and Gaga slayed. Rihanna and Katy are only in the top5 cos of their singles being overplayed
Flop of the year as expected: Jennifer Lopez
The queen of 4lop strikes again. Your fave, BeYAWNce who you talk so much s*** for didn’t do S*** this year. Her name can’t be found near the top of any ofthe Year-End Charts. “Best Thing I Never Had” barely squeaked in the TOP 100 songs of the year. LMFAOOOOOOO And 4 didn’t even crack the Top 20 best selling Albums. Such a shame.
RHI RHI IS THE QUEEN OF POP.. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN
Heeeeeey s*** talkers keep talking that crap while RIH Keep right on baggin
them sockin them and knocking them and if you think thats something you wait until she whips these next 9 Concert dates out and get some much needed rest and then we will really know what time it is.
I am happy for all who made the list and Musician everywhere happy for them and we all know that you win some and you lose some, right better luck next year with your Albums, singles ect that you could care less about going #1 with or staying on the dam charts for that matter. aND SOME HAVE GOT THE NERVES TO SAY THAT THOSE AT THE TOP HAS GIMMICK MUSIC WELLLL IF IT SELLS ITS GOO ENOUGH FOR ME I MEAN AFTER ALL THERES THE 200 CHART WITH @ LEAT 180 PLUS ARTIST CONSIDERING THOSE WHO OR LISTED TWICE AND SOME WHERE BETWEEN HERE AND A #1 ALBUM OR #1 SINGLE THERE IS A CHART AWAITING THAT #1 ARRIVAL AND THE GRAVE YARD IS WAITING WITH CASKET PREPPED FOR THOSE ALBUMS ALL OF THEM WHO GOES TO #1 ONLLLLLLLY TO DIE BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN THAT SAME DAY.

ROUND IV
ROUND 4
She’s coming to SLAY
STFU you IDIOTS
@People can say what ever but the people, fans and stans has spoken and as far as who’s music is the best well, that will always be Subjective. I remember Susan Boyle being as hot as ever there is always a new
“STAR IS BORN”.
Lets see:
-Chris Brown
-Adele
-Miguel
-Bruno Mars
-Lady Gaga
-Beyonce ….Congratulations to all my favs. They have put amazing music out this year, so them making the list is only right 🙂
And what is with people calling “4” a “flop”? This is Bey’s slowest selling album compared to her previous three, but it’s far from a flop. Some of you need to learn the definition of a word before using it, because it can make you look stupid in the long run. “4” is a great album!
Bey dum dum needs to enroll in school with her child
It is a FLOP
ask Sony
LMAO @ Broke Navy still mentioning Beyonce’s name for validation. Dead @ Beyonce making the list without The mega-promo and trendy music like the other female artist. The Shade is, Beyonce has already been there and done these lists 3x and over. Beyonce was the female artist of the 2000s decade(according billboard), dominating the decade from the leader singer of DC3 to solo artist. So holla at us when your faves(with exception of Mariah carey,Michael jackson & Eminem) can dominate a decade. LMAOOOOOOOOOO @ Salavation Navy trying to save face with this,knowing Flop that flop is stumbling down the charts. GTHOH!
UMMM WHERE’S BEYAWNCE?? #FAIL
congrats KELLY ROWLAND …
@ Mobwife
*dies* hahahaha
king breezy
i remember when they said chris was done
haters talk s*** now teambreezy
@pop royalty is some s*** and always been
rihanna was the second biggest artist on billboard this year, even im shocked and adele wont be remembered next year, sooo really its rihannas world right now.:) 6 weeks at number one WORLDWIDE with we found love an talk that talk is still top 3 worldwide, if rihannas a flop, then beyonces career is over!
If the Navy is BROKE
Then the HIVE is DEAD AND GONE #beystansareidiots
Sorry MOBWIFE, THAT S*** IS NOT TO MY STANDARDS! i REFUSE TO LISTEN TO S***, THAT MAKES ME FEEL LOST! i GROW UP ON THE OLD SCHOOL SINGER, WHICH STILL SING SO MUCH BETTER , THAN THESE W**** TODAY! YOU JUST LET BILLBORAD PUMP WITH FAKE S*** TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD, BUT REALLY THESE B****** ARE DONE!!!

And what is with people calling “4″ a “flop”? This is Bey’s slowest selling album compared to her previous three, but it’s far from a flop. Some of you need to learn the definition of a word before using it, because it can make you look stupid in the long run. “4″ is a great album!
_________________________________________________
What is the definition?
TTT is the definition of a flop, 6th album no #1 debut during holiday season and she is supposedly the #2 arstist of the year b*******… I’ll DRINK to that , yea e yea!
Congrats, CB, I am so proud of him. Looking forward for 2012 and fortune
My fave Chris Brown #10 on Top Artist Of 2011! Slay! He is like the only R&B artist in the Top 10. And #1 R&B/Hip Song Artist and got the #1 Rap Song! 2011 has been good for him 🙂
But major f****** side eye to Miguel and Kelly Rowland coming before him on that one list when Look At Me Now probably sold more and got more airplay then both of those songs combined :/ Whatever though I like Sure Thing and Motivation so whatever.
DEAD @ Navy. They were so worried about Queen Beyoncé that they forgot about their fave. Rihanna and Nicki Minaj were the only one that had a full year charts, the others released albums before either Billboard’s 2011 charts started or months later. Isn’t funny how the “new queen” didn’t have any single of hers on the Hot 10? LOL. Even with many tricks, Britney Spears remix, selling singles at rock-bottom prices, she couldn’t make it. And what about Loud flop tour? It didn’t even make the Top 25. LOL. Who’s surprised? After selling several tour tickets for $15 on Groupon…
Top Tours 25 (This is Billboard’s WORLDWIDE list)
1) U2 – $293,281,487
2) Bon Jovi – $293,281,487
3) Take That – $185,175,360
Roger Waters – $1,362,993
Taylor Swift – $97,368,416
Kenny Chesney – $84,576,917
Usher – $74,954,681
Lady Gaga – $71,900,434
André Rieu – $67,104,756
Sade – $53,178,550
…
25) Toby Keith – $27,313,132
Rihanna’s tour made less than $27 million. LOL. What a massive flop! I did the math and she had more than 70 concerts in 2011. FLOP. FLOP. FLOP. It flopped liek Talk That Flop.
Now we know why Rihanna can’t be found on any Forbes’ lists.
The numbers don’t lie, Navy.
Adele was the Queen of 2011 and the Queen of Hot 200. Katy Perry was the Queen of Hot 100. Lady Gaga was the Queen of Tour. Rihanna was the Queen of Selling Tickets for $15 On Group. Deal.
@gilberto, Her LOUD tour isn’t over yet. Therefore, thats not a fair judgement.
@Gilbert. I LOVE those tour stats. I went to the Sade concert and it was, literally, one of of the best shows i’ve ever seen in my life.
* bumps ‘Love Is Found’ * while looking around at the lessors who think they can ARTISTICALLY compare to Sade.*
*Minimizing attitude towards the lessors*
Yes Sade!!!!!!
Why didn’t TGJ staff post the R&B/Hip Hop top ten albums? Bey’s 4 of course landed in the top ten. It’s actually the first R&B album on the list (with the others being Hip Hop or in the case of Rihanna, Pop). I don’t understand why Billboard insists on lumping the R&B and Hip Hop artists together especially when the Hip Hop artists are already represented on the Billboard Rap charts. Also don’t know why they assume that all black artists are R&B when Rihanna doesn’t even consider herself R&B and anyone with ears would agree with her.
Also TGJ failed to list Rolling Stone’s top single’s of the year in the Rolling Stone/Time post. Bey’s “Countdown” made the RS top ten!
loooooooooooooooooooool
@ A Certain someone who was supposed to end Carrier this era not making top ten in NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooow and her fans are still hear hating spreading negativity while their fav struggles looooool Delusional h***.
Congratulations to all the artists that made the lists.
Now, congrats to Christina (and Cher) for ‘Burlesque’ which is at No.53 on the Billboard 200 year-end chart 😀 😀 The highest selling soundtrack of the year and it got the gold certification in October too.Noone thought this album was going to be a success!!
And of course ‘Moves Like Jagger’ slayed too!Top 10!WOW!Go Christina…
Also, congratulations to rap underdogs Lupe Fiasco and T.I. who made the top 100 on the Billboard 200 year-end chart at decent positions 😉
I’m waiting for Nas’ comeback now 😎
WOW!’Moves Like Jagger’ really slayed, didn’t it? 😀 It’s charted in 3 of the major top 10’s!!
Damn Adele Still SNATCHING Wigs, CB Has Done Quite Well But Beyonce’s 4 Is Truely UNDERRATED !
#TheyMad@RihannaGame
I love Beyonce and I like Rihanna. I am not a biased fan for either artist BUT,
if we are talking talent… Beyonce wins hands down. She sings better, she dances better and she performs better. Rihanna’s voice fits great for the radio, but the girl can’t sing live to save her life. Beyonce is the total package, regardless of he album sales. Whoever believes that Rihanna can sing better than beyonce should be smacked.
@john vidal
b**** just stfu, how the hell you gonna call jlo flop of the year..atleast she made one of the lists….she should have been on more but hey beyonce is on none. which i question why is beyonce even mentioned in this post if she did not make not one list?? also jlo only released 3 singles and promoted 1 , whilst your faves released a whole f****** album as singles. and why was she even on your brain? nobody said anything about the lovely lopez but your random hating behind!!
It is soooooo funny when Rated R was selling at the rate 4 is selling, most of you on here were calling Rated R a flop. Yet now people are calling 4 a flop and y’all are ready to change the definition. Silly rabbits.
Anywho, 4 is a great album, so i won’t get into that. But accept that it’s been doing poorly commercially. Just accept it and move on.
Congrats Xtina, Maroon 5, Adele, Katy Perry, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Beyonce, Gaga and Taylor Swift.
well deserve…
Drake deserves to be on that top 10 list, cuz the radio plays his songs at least 30+ times a day. It’s so annoying
