With her status as the UK’s reigning Pop Princess solidified last Sunday, Rita Ora took to YouTube this week to thanks fans for taking her debut album ‘ORA’ to #1.
Shooting the clip backstage at the ‘Made In America Fest’, peep the humble star’s message below….
Now Beyonce is finally aboard Rita’s promo train, it really is only a matter of time before her causes takes flight in the US.
Let’s just hope some of her lessor competitors are ready for that when that happens.
Hmmm, we doubt they will be though.

She barely sold 50k, it took her 2 days to get to #1 on itunes …. Bitch please.
Her “lesser competition” is opening the VMAs with a 2 song set, with leading the nominations, and an almost platinum album in the states, 3 mil sold WW …
All this while Rita’s best achievement on Billboard was #62, after 566488922686 high budget promo attempts…
Let’s leave it at that …

LOL. GOTTA POST A RIHANNA PERFORMANCE ON A RITA POST?? CAN’T YOU NOT TALK ABOUT THIS GIRL WITHOUT MENTIONING RIHANNA?
CARLY RAP JEPSEN, KE$HA IS MORE OF A THREAT TO RIHANNA THAN THIS GIRL
HOW MUCH DID SHE SELL FIRST WEEK? LET’S CALL IT A FLOP, BECAUSE WITH 3 #1 SINGLES, YOU’D EXPECT HER TO SELL LET’S SAY…..200-400K, RIGHT?
LOL. RIHANNA ISN’T WORRIED. THE NAVY ISN’T WORRIED. 2 FLOP SINGLES IN THE U.S., WHY WOULD WE BE WORRIED.

Beyonce could not even get her own sister to be a star, let alone this ugly old ass flop. Who the fuck is beyonc and why would america care. Beyonce has to worry about, selling post 30. New obstacle: She now has to forge a career as 30 something yr old mom. She is not that 21 year crazy in love. Let see what happens. I think she is done. Unlike madonna who got more raunchier in her 30′s, Beyonce has nowhere to go at 31 / 2 / 3/ She cannot do sexy; she cannot do pop: she was never raunchy and she have writing ability and talent like Adele and Sade, who can sell at any age. Let see the new Beyonce 30 plus era.
People always brag about her sales, but that was when she was 16 – 25 / 6. Let she what see can sell after the age of 30.

LOL LOL one of beyonce’s stans ( queen bey ) walked right into her own shit. She said Rihanna’s debut demo LP sold 69K first week. That took her to 10. WELL, Rita’s expensive LP went in at 41k.
Dont look at the chart position. Labels would rather take 69k at 10, than 41k at number 1. It is not about being number 1, it is about how much u sell. Jessie J never had an NUMBER 1LP – SHE SHIT all over Rita Ora’s first week sales.

You fucking piece of shit. Rihanna’s debut LP was done in less than a year by Evan Rogers and Carl Stucken – the two guys who found her in barbados. Most of the LP was a demo that she used to audition for LA REID.
MOTS came out in sept 2005 and by jan 2006 it had sold 500k it was gold, bitch, that is why LA REID DID NOT DROP HER. She took a rushed cheap demo LP and made it gold. She also had two global smashed; pon de replay and it is lovin u want were top 20 hits in over 10 countries, including the usa.
MOTS came out in the UK in sept 2005 and was gold by jan 2006 selling 100k. So, considering she had no promo, time more money given to her, she still went gold in te UK AND USA in g months.
FUCK U. That is why she is a start and Rita will never be/

Mad because seven years have passed and your promiscuous fave can’t even get ONE number album, and has to deal with a flop movie and flop tv show? Rita went on the British x factor and it had a ratings boost and what did Rihanna do? FLOP ALL OVER BRITISH TV WITH THAT FAKE ASS PROJECT RUNWAY CRAP.
Face it bitches. Slayrita is going to give Rihanna a run for her money and Beyonce is going to help her do it!!!

hilarious! Your excuses are hilarious Kelly. But it is HER show, she has been used to promote it and she failed. Even the shows commissioner said it was her show.
They paid her to make it a hit but she failed. Ritayonce would never.

Incestra Whora should really only than Beyucki and Jay-Z. After all, it was them who bought all 40000 copies. Bey obviously was so upset by Rih replacing her that she tried to do the same thing to Rih with Incestra. Alas, she has failed

taking over the US? with only 40K sold in the UK, hunny hunny i can see the stars all the way from here, and you are definetly reaching for them.

One day Rita would get that number 1 song that will be blow up in the U.S. and I’m going to be laughing my butt off when you Rihanna Stans have to eat your words. You shouldn’t want to see someone else fail just because you just want Rihanna in the spotlight by herself. So, what if she sold 41k. She’s happy about it so let her be happy. You guys say you aren’t pressed but, clearly you are. Your like the number 1 fan base of trying to bring other artist down to make your fav look good.
@Kelly so, having a lot of injections makes someone sexy? Madonna looks a hot mess with that loose ass old skin. Your so BEYond press. Here’s a rope. your the main one who wants to see beyonce fail. Shame.
