And The Predictions Are In! Tamar Braxton’s ‘Love & War’ To Sell…

Published: Wednesday 4th Sep 2013 by David

R&B doesn’t sell.

Thanks to the likes of Tamar Braxton and Robin Thicke, the above has recently been proved to be nothing short of a lie. For, when armed with enough financial and creative backing, R&B albums have no reason not to fare just as well as their Pop counterparts.

Now, in what will hopefully encourage more Urban acts to push for more when releasing LPs, Tamar‘s ‘Love & War’ is on course to bring in sales that will see her elevated to the higher ranks of her genre.

Fed up of being teased by us?

Her numbers below…

Predicted chart position: #2

Predicted first week figure: 105-110k

Winning much?

Benefitting from the audience she continues to reach with all of her television ventures, Tamar’s sales will see her lose out on the #1 spot to Ariana Grande‘s ‘Yours Truly’ which will sell anywhere between 110,000 to 115,000 units- earning it the #1 spot!



With these figures, Tamar can now boast of being the only R&B diva to debut with sales of over 100,000 units in the last year, outperforming critically acclaimed releases by Ciara, Kelly Rowland, Keyshia Cole, Fantasia and Brandy, whose  sales now surpass  30 million units worldwide and 8.62 million in her domestic market, helped in part by her Quadruple Platinum self-titled debut.

Well done Tamar!

      Oh b**** its coming :-/

    • rosies dissapointed mother September 4, 2013

      we all knew youd be the first post talking about Ci like always

      obsessed much?

      • Rosie September 4, 2013

        “obsessed”
        Says the person who dedicated their screen name to me.

      • CIARAstan (SLAY MY LIPS COMING SOON) September 5, 2013

        He just mad cause Kim Kardashian p**** is so dirty they had to delver the baby outta her ASS

    • CandyWarhol September 4, 2013

      Her husband probably bought 30,000 copies like he did for the single. Number one on Itunes but not even top 40 on the main chart? Fishy!

      • Rosie September 4, 2013

        I’m thinking the same. You know no one is really checking or this album. I didn’t even know it was out until TGJ put 472929 banners for it all over.

      • FutureCIARA September 4, 2013

        But Lana is still a flop/your still pressed over Ciara, and nobody knows your favs name or who/what she is, Nor the songs from either 2 albums the b**** has released…..

        The girls in Hollywood bash her for her late fashion attire, Thus she refuses to be photographed in public because she cant afford a stylist.

        TV ridicules her for her FLOP SNL performance over a year ago, in 2012

        Venues around the world shade her because of many cancelled dates and cancelled appearances,

        Urban and Suburban America continue to confuse her name with a mexican fast food restaurant, where their tacos aren’t even made with REAL meat.

        And America(The country where it matters) STILL pays her #DUST when it comes to musical ventures.

        Ciara may not be pulling impressive numbers, But her entire 10+ year career is like a dark shady cloud over Lana’s 5- year existence…

        Ciara’s CAREER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lana Del Taco – “The girl that wants to go where everybody knows her name”

      • Rosie September 4, 2013

        The most delusional and false essay I have ever read on TGJ.
        Lana has had less than 3 cancelled appearances to date.
        Lana has a top 10 hit.
        Lana’s album has outsold Cedric’s discography.
        Take several seats.

    • Love and war September 5, 2013

  6. SLAY_HIVE September 4, 2013

    I’ve LOVED ALL her singles so far! Well deserved with little to no promo kiii

  7. Kim Kardashian stan September 4, 2013

    I knew she would do atleast 100 k congratulations Tamar those are decent numbers you’ve outsold Kelly Rowland, Ciara, Monica, Keyshia Cole, K.Michelle & Brandy.

    • _NoFucksGiven_1 September 4, 2013

      Let’s Be Honest Vince brought that s***.

      • Queen Erin OF YA LIIIIIIFE September 4, 2013

        Shut ya ass, her fans bought ’em, cos of her voice.

      • mk September 5, 2013

        hahaha. this is hillarious. yes she outsold kelly and for that i am mad at universal republic for not pushing her album back when kanye and j cole stomped june 18, but i know the album was set to sell more than 200k had kanye not intervened.

  8. Lovebird ( Prism – 10.22.13) September 4, 2013

    Now how did that happen? I’m guessing LA Reid is doing all he can to keep that job, and Cici babe, I love you but it’s not looking good for you babe.

    Anyway congrats to Tamar, I bought the album and I give it a B-, it’s very messy.

    Tamar is a damn good vocalist, I’m happy for her. Oh and congrats to Ariana, I see she’s been reading the Hood of Derion manual, I like her album but it still makes me feel uncomfortable to listen to.

    • rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 4, 2013

      LOL at the jibe at LA reid.

  9. Kingstown September 4, 2013

    Everyone passes cierror loooooool

  10. JOHNVIDAL September 4, 2013

    Damn it! That´s really good knowing the state music industry is in and how R&B has been treated in the last years. If this numbers end being like this of course.
    But John Legend deserves to sell more than those two girls and be #1. He is just better and his album is just better. It is what it is.

    • mk September 5, 2013

      epic records had to do sth. cici floped even toug they spent millions on payola and L.A Reid’s job was in danger……and tamar’s career so her husband saves the day on condition that they pay more payola for her singles to come…….now u know that’s the truth

  11. Britney Stan September 4, 2013

    Its sad cause almost any one can outsell Ciara & only put in half the work Ciara promoted her ass off & bearly did half those numbers: -/

  12. Lovebird ( Prism – 10.22.13) September 4, 2013

    BTW Samantha, how is the overrated glorified karaoke studio singer with a good voice doing? You know, the one who cannot sing live. I know the distorted French horn has got a rabid fan base but is she topping the charts yet? I haven’t checked.

    • SLAY_HIVE September 4, 2013

      Who Rihject??? Sounds like who you’re describing

      • Ohmo September 4, 2013

        F*** BEYTRANNYONCE UGLY FLOP IRRRELIVENT ASS THA STANK P**** W**** HAS A***!

      • SLAY_HIVE September 4, 2013

        Looool ok you feel better?? Did those lies do something for your self-esteem??

    • rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 4, 2013

      WHo are you talking of?

    • grump September 4, 2013

      lmao he’s talking about Celine Dion, her single didn’t even crack itunes top 100. The next excuse is her fan base is too old for itunes. okay.

      • rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 4, 2013

        Celine will come out and sell albums. Why are u dissing Celine, she sold 200 million albums. When will our faves? Not even Rih!

  13. Kingstown September 4, 2013

    All of her singles were nice . She’s one of the very few artist reviving r&b and I love it.

    • It’sScorpioBitch September 4, 2013

      Don’t forget about Fantasia she also brought rnb back

  14. Britney Stan September 4, 2013

    But lets not act like her husband didnt buy many of those copies tho.

  15. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) September 4, 2013

    Shocking tbh, but congrats. I hope she don’t leave Vince now that she got what she wanted tho…

    • ellie goulding stan September 4, 2013

      B**** shut up Tamar loves that man.

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) September 4, 2013

        One could only hope…time and individual success will tell…

      • mk September 5, 2013

        how do u know?

    • The One (Tamar stan) September 4, 2013

      Smh. Such a hater

  16. Zuccherro September 4, 2013

    Loved her first album, will be buying this one when it hits our shores (South Africa), all the singles I’ve heard thus far have been great

  17. ellie goulding stan September 4, 2013

    Rita Ora could never pull those numbers in the US.

    • rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 4, 2013

      As and Ellie fan, does it not puuzzle that Elie is bigger seller yet Rita gets all the press and attention?

      And, no, RIta WILL NEVER DO THOSE NUMBERS.

  18. JUICY J STAN September 4, 2013

    EVEN TGT AND MAH FAV JUICY J OUTSOLD CIARA

    • Rosie September 4, 2013

      Juicy J has good taste in music tbh. Remixing my fave band. At first it was a mess but now it’s kind of a b0p.

  19. LALA September 4, 2013

    Good for Tamar and for R&B coming back strong.

    It seemed to me the only person that kept R&B surviving strong was Usher & Beyonce (Unlike Usher; Beyonce never switched lanes and did EDM music but always utilized her true core on every album and that is R&B).

    Also, my girl KESHIA CHANTE is FINALLY coming back!!!!

    She was on BET’s 106 & Park.
    NEW ALBUM COMING SOON = Internationally

    • caribbean native September 5, 2013

      ummmmmmmm n i guess that EDM trash/disaster called Run The World was R&B for you right…………………….? i see you walk booo you and yo b**** ass flop fav

  20. ellie goulding stan September 4, 2013

  21. I STAN FOR REAL VOCALISTS (F U C K THIS K W****) September 4, 2013

    • Kellz September 4, 2013

      Lmao

  22. Kellz September 4, 2013

    Even at this point Ashanti could even outsell Ciara.

    • LALA September 4, 2013

      Sadly she can’t.
      She’s done!

  23. The One (Tamar stan) September 4, 2013

    Hahaha Yaaas! I told you b****** my fav would never sell less then Ciara & K.Michelle, Congratulations Tamar you truly do deserve to do decent numbers this album is great & the vocals are amazing love ya mama! #SheDidThat

    & What about Arianas numbers?

    • mk September 5, 2013

  24. stephy the lambily September 4, 2013

    C-Error GIRL EVERYONE IS SLAYING YOUR BIG D*** SELF!!! LOLOL Congrats to my 2 fellow Lambs Ariana & Tamar

  25. S****** Blonde September 4, 2013

    Who is she and why she is selling more than Carlos?

  26. Lucia September 4, 2013

    Where are the K. Michelle hood rats who said that Tamar couldn’t outsell her? #SHEDIDTHAT !

    • mk September 5, 2013

      they probably forgot that tamar’s hubby buys her music. 70 k

  27. XXX September 4, 2013

    Congrats Tamar! (Smirks and Z Squad trolls)

  28. RoyalNavi September 4, 2013

    I guess Vincey cut a new check again to make sure she didn’t flop.

    • TIsForTamar September 4, 2013

      8 years. 1 number one album.
      7 albums. 0 album of the year Grammys.

      Sorry b****.

      • Navihoe September 5, 2013

        She has more than your ugly pitchy fave b****.

    • CS9 September 4, 2013

      Maybe, maybe. Too bad for Rihanna, Jay-Z would never write a check for her that he didn’t demand that she pay back with compounded interest.

  29. #Hive September 4, 2013

    Poor Ciara ,Cedric, Ci-error,Citranny… Even more reality flops outselling you! I suggest you & future join love & hip hop

  30. #Hive September 4, 2013

    We know Vincent bought 30% of those copies tho! lol

    • Thetruth September 4, 2013

      I know right!!! PPL really believe she sold this much by herself! This chic here is NO FOOL! SMFH!

    • mk September 5, 2013

      try 70%

  31. Rosie September 4, 2013

    It’s a cute little album from what I’ve heard but I doubt 100k people were really checking for it when it had no promo except for a little-watched reality show. Love And War the song fell off a few months ago. I’m betting Vince bought at least 30k. It’ll plummet out of the top 20 next week.
    But anyways, congrats.

    • T976 September 5, 2013

      You guys just fail to realize that the reality shows she’s been on is what really helped her revive her career. The reality shows were #1 and had more than a million views and followers. So for her to sell 100k in the first week isn’t as shocking as you want to think.

      She promoted her ass off as well, i’ll give her that. I was tired of seeing her everywhere on YouTube.

      To the people saying Vince bought her albums, grow up…
      I just hate to see how other humans want to see their people fail.

      It’s cute how thatgrapejuice is so supportive of Tamar. I think they should have Tamar’s album cover on the right, and Ariana Grande’s on the left.

      To end, I wish both Ariana Grande and Tamar Braxton luck at the top spot next week! Two very good talents.

  32. Del September 4, 2013

    Get it Tay Tay!

  33. Lana the legend September 4, 2013

    Remember Tamars husband is gagas manger i wouldn’t be surprised if she sells it for 99 cent at some point. lol

    • S****** Blonde September 4, 2013

      That means that he will buy ARTPOP too, lol.

      • Lana the legend September 4, 2013

        hahaha right!

    • Rosie September 4, 2013

      It’s he’s doing the same for T***** he’s being more supportive of her than the Little Cutters are.
      Speaking of the Little Cutters you should see how pressed I got one of them in the last post.

    • mk September 5, 2013

      really?

  34. SLAY_HIVE September 4, 2013

    O wow…i think this is the first post that i havent seen the zsquad troll!!! *gasps* loool Guess all of their edges are completely snatched from being dragged for weeks smh

    SN: SAM YOU REALLY SHADED BEYONCE TODAY, IM SHOCKED AND PISSED! 😉

  35. KimmyBlanco September 4, 2013

    There are some things you should know.

    1. TGJ is biased towards Tamar because she pays them to be. David literally works for her, check his twitter.

    2. Vince bought at least 40,000 of those sales the same way he bought copies of the single on itunes but forgot to buy them everywhere else which is why it didn’t chart in the top 50 AFTER it got to number one.

    • BeyWhoUWanna September 4, 2013

      Sit downe!

      • Woman2Woman September 4, 2013

        This b**** thinks she’s Miss Marple.

    • SLAY_HIVE September 4, 2013

      You cant go spilling tea like this without bringing receipts!! Loool

      Why is it so hard to believe tjat Tamar snatched all these girls wigs?? Every single she’s put out has been an R&B hit! She can SAAAANG! END OF STORY!

      • mk September 5, 2013

        can she? don’t be a fool

    • Jason September 4, 2013

      way to be desperate/lie. Tamar Braxton/ the braxton family as a whole has always had a fanbase since they appeared back in the early 90s. Tamar Braxton has become a personality known around the world. She is now a t.v. talk host and has two other HIT reality shows. Like…how dumb can you be to not realize how big of a fanbase she has/ of course Toni Braxton’s fans also would go to her to support her as well. Stop being ignorant and putting black female artists down/ against each other. It’s pathetic.

    • Absolved September 4, 2013

      1. Prove it.
      2. Prove it.

      I’ll wait.

  36. EveRyder September 4, 2013

    Congratz Tamar u betta werk b****…….I called it a couple wks ago when k.michelle dropped her album saying that these 2 ladies would be the ones to break that r&b first wk sales slump this yr. Tamar gagged this hating ass b****** on this sites bashing u about being over the top ratchet and for your performance on Gma. Now u got’em givin u ur props. RNB is still alive dammit. On the other hand I feel sorry for Brandy,Kelly,and Ciara bcuz they all had good ass albums they team just chose the worst songs to promote. I also blame their fans by not supporting their albums especialy the way brandy and ciara promoted their albums. Its good they r still pushing tho. Btw tamar performored and sounded way better on kelly and michael this morning.

    • mk September 5, 2013

      the last line is a lie and u know it.

  37. TurntUp4Cici September 4, 2013

    Must be nice to have a husband who buys you everything.

    • SLAY_HIVE September 4, 2013

      Poor Cierror…Future should have bought her some copies or is he not rich enough??

      • TurntUp4Cici September 4, 2013

        He’s rich where it counts.

      • mk September 5, 2013

        with what money. the boy got four baby mamas

    • Biting Truth September 4, 2013

      Mad because Tamar had to hustle her ass off for a year and only wound up doing marginally better than that horrid last album she came out with, and is literally on her ninth life. If she doesn’t find a way to make this non-selling album of hers profitable, it’s Game Over for her.

      Yeah, it must be nice to have a husband with power. Don’t you wish your favorite had a hookup like that? Too bad hanging out with Future ain’t gonna do nothing for Ciara’s career. She’ll wind up working at Pennys f****** with that n****.

      • Biting Truth September 4, 2013

        “Mad because Tamar…”

        * Ciara

  38. alessandro September 4, 2013

    the reality show helped a lot!!! and the album is amazing

  39. Thetruth September 4, 2013

    Child please u and I both know her husband buys her singles and most likely brought most of her album sales… I don’t believe over 100,000 ppl brought her album to save my life! No maam… her husband paid her way to the top just like he paid BET to nominate her for an award!

    • Absolved September 4, 2013

      Prove it.

    • mk September 5, 2013

      i love what you say. pity cuda love didn’t buy kelly’s even though he f***** her for four years

  40. RebelleMichelle September 4, 2013

    Wow this b**** is out here paying for everything. Paying for sales and even paying for bloggers. Maybe K should have got a blogger to rep her too.

    • TIsForTamar September 4, 2013

      You sound like a hater. Where are your receipts that she pays bloggers? TGJ is known to go in for the people they like so don’t act like it’s just Tamar.
      They do it for Rita, Nicki, Beyonce, Ci, Elijah and Brandy too so stop your b*******.

  41. FAF September 4, 2013

    Did gaga buy these too? It still won’t go platinum unlike the ppl y’all claim y’all drag Tamar NEVER had a plaque besides the film on her teeth

    • Iconic cici September 4, 2013

      You know GaGa & Vince bought them copies lmao

  42. THE TRUTH September 4, 2013

    Yayy!!! Vince bought enough copies to secure it a #2 position. No wonder they are selling there house. They have to pay for this new album!

    Go Tamar!!!! With those sales, it’s safe to say the album won’t see a Platinum certification. S***, it won’t see a Gold. But that’s still very good for a 37 year old woman who married a fat homosexual for success.

    GO TAMAR Go TAMAR GO

  43. Iconic cici September 4, 2013

    F*** that i don’t believe them numbers b**** having GaGa tweet out to her fans that the album is out & we know her husband bought them copies this h** is a fake & a lie… f*** all yall haters body party is on its way to going gold.

    • Rosie September 4, 2013

      Body Party finally being somewhat close to gold after how long? Kii

    • T976 September 5, 2013

      lol. wooooow. You guys are really mad for whaaaaa?

  44. QueenMuthaBraxton September 4, 2013

    You b****** are PRESSED!

    Don’t be mad that Tamar’s label can afford to have her ads splattered all over this site and your fave’s cannot and don’t be mad that people went and bought Tamar’s music and didn’t buy your fave’s either.

    Kelly=Flop.
    Ciara=Biggest flop of all.
    Brandy=Flop
    KMichelle= Hoodrat flop.
    Fantasia= Husband snatching flop.
    Keyshia Cole = Very ghetto.

    • KissesForKelly September 4, 2013

      Tamar= Toni’s sister. Vince’s wife.
      That’s all she is.

    • QueenCeline September 4, 2013

      What kind of provocation.

    • Woman2Woman September 4, 2013

      Oh now I tried to keep it cute with Ms Tamar but now you tried and tested me. Keyshia sells her own albums and her fans buy them, not everyone has rich husbands to buy their albums and singles for them. S***.

    • BarbzRUs September 4, 2013

      You knew better than to say Onika.

    • VisionOfMimi September 4, 2013

      Good b****, better not talk s*** about the Queen.

      • Draggin4MrsCarter September 4, 2013

        Queen? With no release date?

      • Lucia September 4, 2013

        Lmao I love Bey, but you set yourself up for shade and drags

    • Thetruth September 4, 2013

      U need 2 grow up little girl!!! All of these women u listed is still more successful then ur fave! Buying most of your own singles and albums does not equate to being successful. This is just another way of trying to make herself look as if she’s not a failure and to use this to brag. I dn’t blame her bcuz ppl would instantly call her a flop like u r doing these other ladies. Ppl with sense is just calling a SPADE A SPADE! The math dont add up…

    • QueenMuthaBraxton September 4, 2013

      Seethe b******. We been staying humble for too long now Tamar done came and SNATCHED each and every one of your wigs!
      Ciara didn’t even sell HALF of that and Kelly couldn’t sell that if she tried. Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaahaha. I’m mad hype right now.

      • kim Kardashian Stan September 4, 2013

        Read these h*** Tamar is f****** slaying & they mad!

      • mk September 5, 2013

        oh kelly had tied competition on her week and she pulled what your fave couldn’t buy had her hubby not buy 70k

    • Lucia September 4, 2013

      Ciara = two multiplatinum albums.
      Brandy = 3 multiplatinum & 1 gold album.
      Fantasia = 2 platinum & 1 gold album.
      Keyshia Cole = 3 platinum & 1 gold album.

      Tamar = a reality show.

      She is a great singer, and I gave her props earlier in this post but I am not here for Tamar stans dragging artists who are way more successful than her. Not here at all.

  45. EveRyder September 4, 2013

    A lot of good RNB albums dropped this wk….Tamar,Ariana,John legend,and Jahiem. Its sad that John and Jahiem or only gonna sell 50k -55k when they usually pull in way over a 100k first wk. Besides Jt and robin thicke I’m looking for Chris brown and my baby Trey songz to save RNB for the males.

      Chris Brown is gonna flop. I don’t know why he keeps postponing the inevitable. Trey will flop also unless revamps his image and drops a HUGE single. I have my eyes on August Alsina. He may be a little too hood/ratchet for mainstream though…

  46. Grande The Way September 4, 2013

    I notice real R&B albums doing much better than urban contemporary R&B albums

    Tamar: over 100k
    Ariana: over 100k
    Keyshia Cole: almost 100k

    compared to
    Ciara: 57k
    Brandy: less than 80k
    Kelly Rowland: less than 80k

    Congrats to Ariana on her feature #1 album, very well deserved. I stan for the artist she can become and she’s not letting me down. Tattooed Heart, Honeymoon Avenue, Daydreamin, You’ll Never Know were my favorites off the album. Tamar Braxton’s album was solid too! She needs to work on her live vocals but she’s a breathe of fresh air to R&B. Shame K.Michelle’s album did do as well, it was solid too. With John Legend and Mariah coming soon, this is turning out to be a good year in R&B

    • gotcha September 4, 2013

      Bich please Ariana 15 minutes of fame will be up any moment now!! She cannot sing and will NEVER reach the success of Brandy, Kelly or any other vet in the game. This is her 1st release now lets be real this chik is not killing NOTHING but her poor voice box while straining to sing RNB which is clearly not a part of! @grande the way please have a seat on some hott concrete! YOU are dismissed for such a lame stupid comment! LOL Ariana is NOT real RNB

      • Bow Down. B da queen September 4, 2013

        have a seat on hot concrete hahahahhahahahaha
        she needs to with the comparison she made.

    • B**** I Can’t Even Spell Welfare September 4, 2013

      Wait..you’re considering Ariana “real R & B?”

      Nope…she’s pop. Not saying that’s a bad thing at all. Love pop.

    • Mary Mary Why You Buggin’ September 4, 2013

      I’ve been a fan of Tamar since her self-titled debut (which is really good). No bandwagon here. I’m buying “Love And War” tomorrow. However, please don’t use Tamar’s CURRENT sales to shade Brandy.

      “Two Eleven” remains an impeccable album. I’m still bumpin’ it.

      And Ariana doesn’t have a R&B bone in her body. Her contemporaries are Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and Demi. Not the people you mentioned. She just has a better voice than theirs…she’s still pop though.

  47. Draggin4MrsCarter September 4, 2013

    Why do the Lambs keeping call Mariah the Queen when she can’t even get a release date? I dead ass want to know.

    • kim Kardashian Stan September 4, 2013

      How ironic of you…lol

    • Absolved September 4, 2013

      I’m a Beyonce fan and even I find that just hysterically hypocritical. You should’ve known better than to do that…

  48. vanity September 4, 2013

    I see the girls can’t handle Tamars slayage i mean it did take ciara 6 weeks just to hit 100k & Tamars doing it in a weak… lol stay pressed b******!

    • raheem September 7, 2013

      *week spell check. Ciara had a good era

  49. rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 4, 2013

    LOL Sam, that girl, Rita WHOR still has not made her mark on the USA. Time is running out. Cher L new single is number 47 on itunes ; we also have miley and Ariana grande album number 1 in 30 countries. Not to mention Katy and Gaga, HAHAH RITA SHOULD OF used empty 2012 to slay hard…..now, she has left to late.

    Rita has to now take on :
    Gaga
    Katy
    Miley
    Ariana
    Cher Lloyd
    Zenaya ( some disney girl)
    Selena Gomez
    Ellie Goulding……………..

    AND RIhanna, the queen of pop – the person she was meant to dethrone. LOL LOL karma! I doubt RIta can touch Ciara at this point.

    • AdamMonster September 4, 2013

      Rihanna ain’t no damn queen of pop. She’s the queen of puppet mastered studio singing non talent blow up dolls who only exist to make a cheap buck for the songwriter who submitted a demo to Def Jam or Roc Nation. Clearly they don’t have any faith that she’s good to last, which is why they keep Rita in the wings, waiting for the first sign of rigor mortis to set in with Rihanna so that she can be quickly replaced.

      And real talk, RIta is better. She’s younger, prettier and has a much, much better voice than Rihanna.

      • Lucia September 4, 2013

        I’ve been waiting for Rihanna to be replaced since 2005. Hasn’t & WON’T happen. And Rita most certainly won’t be her replacement. Americans (and every other country outside of UK-who BARELY cares) could care less about her.

      • rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 4, 2013

        Keeping Rita in the wings? Yet the public remain unbothered and she cannot sell records outside the uk

        Younger – Rita looks about 26 and prolly really 30

        Prettier – Short, fat and manly does not equate American standard beauty. At least Rih is tall and slim

        Better voice – Ok, well she can be a back up singer on teh next leg of Rih’ s sell out diamond tour.

      • 8 years in the game and queen RiRi is still snatching your fav’s nappy lace September 4, 2013

        B**** sit down. Rita Whora is not better than Rihanna. Rita’s voice is basic,she’s not cute and a Rihanna wannabe. Where is her damn impact in the USA first??

      • AdamMonster September 4, 2013

        How is RIta supposed to sell albums outside of the UK when it’s the only region her album has been released thus far? And she SLAYED it! In the meantime, Rita (without a US release) has also SLAYED the US with high end endorsements and magazine covers that pretty much overshadow Rihanna in that area, so much so that Rita came in at the No. 1 spot on People With Money’s top 10 highest-paid singers for 2013 with an estimated $46 million in combined earnings. No. 1, so that would mean ahead of Rihanna. Don’t take my word for it, tho. Google it!

        I don’t care about your silly and exaggerated claims of how old Rita looks to you. The reality is that she’s 22, and younger than Rihanna. But I guess anyone would look 30 compared to a 25 year old woman who goes out of her way to resemble an overgrown 7th grader. I’d rather look like an adult than a kid.

        Yes, prettier. Rita is nowhere near fat. LMAO! What’s the matter with you, do you need lasik surgery or something? And at 5’5, she’s nowhere near “short” either. At least not for a woman. Yeah, we gonna take up a collection to get you some bifocals at least, because the comments you’ve made here make you look either blind or just stupid. Rihanna may be tall and thin, but she also has a pudgy nose, fat lips, a big head and isn’t a natural beauty. She better hope she keeps that figure, because other than thinness she doesn’t have much else to fall back on in the looks department. Without makeup she tends to favor Skeletor.

        I’m glad you can concede to the obvious truth that Rita can literally sing circles around Rihanna (like that’s hard), but she has better things to do than to follow studio singer Rihanna to try and save her tragic vocals on her train wreck of a tour that at least check wasn’t even in the years top 10 grossing. Why would Rita wanna be a back up singer on a mediocre selling tour, when she’s #1 in the UK, is busy owing the US in terms of endorsements and covers and is the years top earner? No.

      • rih rox((beyonce insecure about unflattering pictures)) September 5, 2013

        Rita is short and fat with midget legs, no waist and saggy tits that hang down to her waist. Plus she looks 30.

    LANA DEL RAY HAS SOLD 5 MILLION ALBUMS. I told you she will slay…..in the long run.

    • Rosie September 4, 2013

      Thank you. “Tumblr artist/flop/unknown/joke” my ass. If so then why did she outsell literally every b**** in the game’s last album except for T***** (who sold 1/3 of her total first week) and Adele?
      The real tumblr artists are Marina and Borde. Marina has a huge tumblr base but her album has only sold 66k in the US. Borde and her hit “Locals” are the Anglophone Gotye, one huge faux-indie single, album barely goes gold/sells 2-3 million than falls of the face of the Earth. Ghetto difference is that Somebody That I Used To Know went #1 literally everywhere whereas Locals is exactly that.
      Sorry. Had to get that off. *waits for Borde bandwagoner to reply*

  51. The Boy Toy September 4, 2013

    Those sales are fishy…. I expected the 70-80k range. #vince Congrats to her doe. Yet another person outsells Ciara smh.

  52. FutureCIARA September 4, 2013

    But Lana is still a flop, and nobody knows her name or who she is, Nor the songs from either 2 albums the b**** has released…..

    The girls in Hollywood bash her for her late fashion attire, Thus she refuses to be photographed in public because she cant afford a stylist.

    TV ridicules her for her FLOP SNL performance over a year ago, in 2012

    Venues around the world shade her because of many cancelled dates and cancelled appearances,

    Urban and Suburban America continue to confuse her name with a mexican fast food restaurant, where their tacos aren’t even made with REAL meat.

    And America(The country where it matters) STILL pays her #DUST when it comes to musical ventures.

    Ciara may not be pulling impressive numbers, But her entire 10+ year career is like a dark shady cloud over Lana’s 5- year existence…

    Ciara’s CAREER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lana Del Taco – “The girl that wants to go where everybody knows her name”

    • Rosie September 4, 2013

      All of that can apply to Cedric though too.
      Sis no one has mentioned SNL since winter (turning point in the US).
      Every girl on the internet is trying to copy Lana’s style and art and some singers are doing it too (see: Borde).
      No one outside of 106 & Park is checking for Cedric. Born To Die has officially outsold his discography worldwide. Deal.

  53. ratedxxx(next broad) September 4, 2013

    good for her, I loved love and war, solid r&b album….

    why are some people are just so f****** bitter..I mean really…
    because she’s going to sell over 100k her husband is the reason behind that?

    I swear the same people bitter ass b****** who stays on ciara’s p****, and stay bashing bishes..are always quick to call people haters, when their fav gets call in a lie..

  54. Bow Down. B da queen September 4, 2013

    way to go Vince.

  55. ratedxxx(next broad) September 4, 2013

    the post clearly states she sold more than kelly, fantasia, ciara and brandy…

    of course all the bashing is only toward ciara….shes a flop who’s making millions….

    while your fake jealous b****** are struggling…..

    its getting f****** pathetic…you don’t like the bish, why the f*** is she on your mind 24/7

    the thirst….

    i mean ciara hasnt done anything to get the hate..she’s not out there stealing people’s ideas, payola to fake huge sales and accolades…

    bitter b****** never fails….

    • B**** I Can’t Even Spell Welfare September 4, 2013

      Thank you!!!!

      I truly don’t get where all of this Ciara hate comes from?

      Because she (rightfully) defended herself against Rihanna & her bag carrier Melissa?

      It’s ridiculous.

      • 8 years in the game and queen RiRi is still snatching your fav’s nappy lace September 4, 2013

        Rihannna was the one defending herself when this ugly man talked s*** about Rihanna on a talk show. B**** is an ugly bitter t***** flop ho.

    • 8 years in the game and queen RiRi is still snatching your fav’s nappy lace September 4, 2013

      B**** shut your wannabe righteous ass up. Don’t sit up here and give us any lecture about Ci-Error’s whoring ass when her stans try to come for everybody’s fav.

    • Pour It Up September 5, 2013

      Shut up for once and stop worrying about other peoples opinion and comments

  56. molly September 4, 2013

    & She has Vince fat ass to thank she has no real stans.

  57. Duch September 4, 2013

    Guess we know who the real priority at Epic is! 😉

    The desperation in claiming that Vince is buying Tamar’s success is priceless. Back it up. That kind of manipulation wouldn’t be able to be kept secret in this day and age. So show me some receipts.

    You can’t?

    Oh.

  58. Tamartian September 4, 2013

    umm duh!!!

  59. Mark111 September 4, 2013

    With all her 99 shows, she should be doing a lil better than that. But we all know that wale of a husband is gonna buy units for his trophy, I mean wife. She has a great voice tho, but can we get Toni back?

  60. JJFan1814 September 4, 2013

    Can’t help but cackle at all of these Vince purchasing the album allegations.

    You all do realize that quality music eventually speaks for itself right? The album doesn’t have a big budget of production but still f****** works well. It’s a very solid R&B release and Tamar deserves the success..

    Gives her much more bragging right to shade the girls she’s outselling. This success will surely usher in a new album since people will pay her more attention.

    • mk September 5, 2013

      then dilusional u r!!!!

  61. Elvick September 4, 2013

    How is this evidence R&B can sell? We’ve had a few R&B artists hit up toward 100k before in the past few years.

    It’s usually hovering around 70k, does that 30k really make that much of a difference? I personally don’t think it does. Not like people care when it’s 70k instead of 40k. “winning”… no.

    If R&B can maintain legs, that’s how we know R&B can sell. Pop has legs. People check for pop. They don’t check for R&B like they do pop.

    Anyhoo, I need to pick her album up, never heard of the other chick but her potentially being #1 makes me want to check her out.

    Don’t like Tamar as a person, but she’s talented.

    • B**** I Can’t Even Spell Welfare September 5, 2013

      I agree with you 100%. A 30K difference in sales says absolutely NOTHING about the overall sales of R & B album sales.

      Mainstream R&B is still in the very same positions its been in. Period. I say this as a die hard R&B fan.

      The fact that people are trying to make distinctions between albums that sale 70-80 thousand vs. 100,000+ is laughable. Guess what? Those are the SAME numbers in the end.
