Kelly Rowland is riding high these days. Indeed, with countless cuts in rotation on Urban radio and a rumored X Factor USA judging spot, the Destiny’s Child diva’s stock is on a ten.
Most would agree that 2011’s ‘Motivation’ set the wheels in motion for her present-day success; as such the timing of the track’s latest achievement couldn’t be anymore apt.
Full story below…
According to the RIAA, the Lil Wayne assisted is – as of this month – certified double Platinum after selling more than two-million copies.
An impressive feat on many a front, the length and breadth of the achievement is best understood when considering the commercial plight of R&B in an EDM dominated music world.
Needless to say, this certainly gives Ms. Kelly added momentum heading into the release window for her fourth studio album ‘Talk A Good Game’. Due on June 18th, the LP’s current single ‘Dirty Laundry‘ has garnered praise aplenty since being rolled out on radio this week. It’s accompanying video, so we’re told, is set to shoot imminently.
For now, though, congrats are certainly in order!
Tidbit: Peep this snap of Kelly posing it up with our very own Patrick at The-Dream’s album playback yesterday in LA…

*claps* It’s only the beginning for you Kel!!! 🙂 xoxo
Wow… My friend Emily has just married to a handsome wealthy black man. They met through ~~~ MìxedŚìngle.Çoм ~ ~~Serious interracial dating is an ideal platform for afro romance for black & white singles.

Good s***! Everyone rooting for Kelly, if she promote and do her part she gone be straight. She look tired AF in that picture though.
rehearsals…Her schedule is gonna be PACKED…….
That’s fabulous! Also, ‘Dirty Laundry’ has already entered the Top 50 Urban Airplay chart 2 days after debuting :O Motivation didn’t even take off as fast as this!!!!!!! #TalkAGoodGame
Congrats Ms.Kelly…This song deserved a grammy
It did, she was robbed of that grammy last year.
That’s wassup Congrats gurl xoxo.
Patrick is cute
Great song, I just wished all of her singles sans “Dirty Laundry” didn’t sound like this.
they don’t though….i grant you that sometimes the subject matter may be similar, but sonically there’s really no comparison between any of her singles.
Man, I cannot wait to meet her in Orlando..my heart is racing. I am so glad that things are finally looking up for my Kelz
Go Kelly!
is that Ariana in your avi? I love that chic.
Yes it is 🙂
i thought so… 🙂
Nice 🙂
Well ummmmm congrats…* plays Laundromat by Nivea*
lol….ch…
Yess
Now whos the flop now????? For a woman that many said could never have solo success outside of DC! F’c u & tht nicca tht put his wack ass hands on my fav! I’m so happy for Kelly! I’m proud of Bey & Michelle as well! Mannn…. I luv these women! (teary eyes)
“Motivation” is, indeed, the shyt! So congrats!
As always, I’m anticipating her new album but, to be honest, I really don’t want to be let down like I was with “Here I Am.” <<<<<< THAT album was supposed to be the album where Kelly was making a particular statement about arrival (hence the title). Yet, the album fell short minus a few gems. Most notably, "Keep It Between Us." Brilliant and best song on "Here I Am."
I'm always here for Kelly but I want a masterpiece dammit. I want a Kelly album I can BRAG about. 🙂
Get It Kelly!!!

LMFAOOOooooo she is so fcking dumb!
LMAO TRUE
A very well deserved Grammy coming your way, Kelly Row!
“Dirty laundry” is such an amazing song.
I’m here for kelly!! Unlike this W**** rihanna she actually has talent
I love my Kelly! Good work. This is only the beginning.
Co Sign @ B**** I can’t even. HIA was an great album. That album had plenty of hidden gems, like Keep It Between Us! Also Ms. Kelly was an great album! The bad thing about Kelly past albums, was there wasn’t promotion. And they would only release two songs and b done with the album. I’m definitely glad that’s over with. Kelly has the talent to Run This Sh*t! She has Diva Stage Presence, can sing and dance. That right there puts her ahead of every b**** n the game, except for Gaga and KING B. I think this Era will b an award winning era! The best is yet to come! I know what my b**** is capable of. #DESTROYING BISHES
I still can’t believe turn it up didnt receive the single treatment. What a mess. She definitely needs to upgrade her promo strategy
YES!
Turn It Up, Keep It Between Us, and Feelin Me Right Now all would’ve made great singles. And I luv Work It Man!
Yaaaasssss
Here I Am was a good album. My faves were Feelin Me Right Now, Work It Man, Heaven & Earth, All Of The Night, and Motivation (duhh)
…But whoever decided to autotune THE HELL out of her voice on some her songs should be slapped.
turn it up
Lmao only now ? I can’t stand this b**** !!! People are only talking about her bcuz she used beyonce as her chewin gum in her boring as song dirtyflop . Now beyonce can’t trust this b**** . Beyonce dnt let kelly near baby blue bcuz u dnt kno wats going on in this bitter ass b**** head .

You never know who is out there just waiting for you to make their dream lovelife a reality.Has nothing to do with age\color, You can find the man or girl of your dreams. With a brave heart to love. Love and be loved, Let’s love!
@Patrick – You wanna be ‘Ms. Kelly’ soooo bad, don’t you? You can practically taste all the ‘black t***** love’, can’t you, Patrick? I mean, Patrick, why not just complete the fantasy: change of wardrobe, watch your diction/tuck(safely), and get those monthly shots?
re:’Motivation’: Now, released after some TWO YEARS, and it’s just NOW going 2x Platinum..?! Well, if anything, it just goes to show: singles/digital sales mean NOT-A-THING in the grand scheme of album sales/brand advancement.
“..(Kelly Rowland)rumored X-Factor U.S judging spot..”
Bwahahahahahah.. I mean, like really?! Are you serious?! Didn’t Simon Cowell learn ANYTHINTG from having her as a ‘Season 8′(2011) U.K. X-Factor judge? Doesn’t HE remember all the negative press/reviews, and that Tsunami-Fan-Backlash? Black Gay men not withstanding, Kelly Rowland has ZERO fan-base, here in the U.S., as compared to Europe. That said, what’s the rational in having her on a U.S. Prime-Time talent show?
Wow! Just..like Wow..!!
X,Y,”and Z” – Out..!!
You really are feeling some way that Kelly might actually get the recognition she deserves here in the United States.
@Key –
“You really are feeling some way that Kelly might actually get the recognition she deserves here in the U.S.”
Hey Key, you, myself, and all the Intelligent Lifeforms Of Planet Earth have all been waiting for her to “get the recognition she deserves,” but yet, here we are – WELL-OVER TEN YEARS LATER..still waiting.
Kelly Rowland IS getting all the recognition she deserves: ZERO..!!
Europe gave Kelandria all the recognition she deserves: they gave her a weekly-10-million-watched-prime-time stage all to herself – saw her for the flat, bland, tepid, zero-talent she is, then threw her off X-Factor UK, and then ran her off the Continent..!!
..And here she is, like some vicious, vindictive H***** sore. And did your precious Kelly grown as an artist in the now two years since being tossed from the Continent? NO! Absolutely not – want proof? Here she is – still no talent, with yet another I-have-no-talent-so-I’ll-play-victim gimmick: “I was abused!” *sigh*
And in ten years time, you’ll be here on TGJ, lecturing/advising/scolding us on waiting for Kelly to “be all that she can be”.
X,Y,”and Z” – Out..!!
Just so you know, I stopped reading your comment upon you quoting me…
I knew that if you felt the need to quote me, then you were only going to rant and rave. I’m not the entertaining type.
Continue on. 🙂
Am happy for her.
Yessssss!!!!
Oh my gosh Bella must be like Beyonce’s assistant or something!? There’s no way she would know Beyonce and Kelly’s personal life. Smh oh my gosh you can just feel the hate in some of these posts lol. Lmao people acting like they went and had coffee with Beyonce!
