….and the good news keeps on rolling in!
After Urban music lovers rejoiced in the success of Mary J.Blige‘s ‘A Mary Christmas‘ here, this afternoon came baring more gifts, brought to Beyonce, Rihanna, Elijah Blake, Nicki Minaj, Alicia Keys and the Pop ‘Royal’ that is Lorde.
Almost a year since its December 12th release, Elijah Blake‘s ‘Bijoux 22′ pulled jam ‘Lookin’ For Perfect’ earned its 1 millionth stream this afternoon, arriving at the milestone via combined spins generated on ‘YouTube’, ‘SoundCloud’, Daniel Ek‘s ‘Spotify‘, ‘Dat Piff’, to name just four outlets.
Doing so before the release of his Roc Nation backed debut album, Blake’s success with ‘Perfect’ comes after his launch single ‘XOX’ peaked at #12 on iTunes USA and after his J.Cole assisted jam ‘Vendetta’ surpassed the 10 million streams milestone weeks after its debut!
Elsewhere, Beyonce‘s brand spanking new ‘Life Is But a Dream‘ documentary has seen its DVD release reap fresh rewards for the ‘Grown Woman’ performer this week.
For, thanks to its airing on the nation’s BBC network, the piece has soared to #23 on iTunes’ Documentary tally, outselling Charles Ferguson’s ‘Inside Job’ and perched 12 spots below Schulman and Joost‘s ‘Catfish’ which currently sits at #11!
Over on the Billboard Hot 100, Lorde‘s ‘Royal’ spends its ninth week at #1 today, keeping the top spot away from Eminem’s latest smash hit ‘The Monster’ and seeing her become the fifth female artist to spend nine or more weeks at the top spot with a debut effort.
This, seeing her match a record also held by R&B singer Ashanti (‘Foolish’) , Ke$ha (‘Tik Tok’), Debby Boone (‘You Light Up My Life‘) and Carly Rae Jepsen (‘Call me Maybe’). In the last week, ‘Royals’ ruled the Radio Songs tally with an 143 million audience impressions, which helped it shift 177,000 units in the very same period!
On a singles tip, ‘Samsonite Man’ singer Alicia Keys and ‘Here I Am’ Rapper Nicki Minaj have much to give thanks for this afternoon, now that their collaborative hit ‘Girl on Fire’ has cat walked past US sales of 3 million units!
To be exact, the inspirational record has sold a total of 3,056,000 since its September 4th 2012 arrival, reaching that point months after Nicki Minaj’s Urban cuts ‘Beez In The Trap’ and ‘Roman’s Revenge’ were certified Gold for sales of 500,000 units each and after her sun kissed jam ‘Starships’ reached global sales of 7 million units worldwide!
Is Rihanna‘s ‘What Now‘ on course to impact the Hot 100’s Top Ten?
Well, if its recent sales spike is anything to go by, it is!
That’s right, after her fellow Pop Princess Lady GaGa claimed her latest LP ‘ARTPOP’ has shifted 1.2 million in its first two weeks of release, Rihanna’s Now‘ rises 14 spots and lands at #25, doing so Lana Del Rey‘s ‘Young & Beautiful’ hits the 1 million mark, becoming her 2nd million-seller after ‘Summertime Sadness’ passed the same milestone and soared towards US sales of 1,861,000!
Congratulations to all!

#23 on iTunes Documentary ?
Samantha for God’s sake …………………….. STOP!
Shut up b****. Stay mad that the Queen is out here slaying documentaries AND singles AND albums.
#Jealous
Wheres overdose tho?
Where’s Lizzy Grant?
Congratulations to Lana and Rihanna…. GaGa lying ass didn’t sell no 1.2 million tho
Good for Elijah.
Congratulations to Sevyn tho she bout to get her first top 40 hit yay!
Lana only has two songs that sold a million? Elle. Oh. Elle.
Ciara’s career is the biggest joke of all.
Congrats to all, but I’m so ready for The Monster to hit number #1 on billboard
Wow @ Elijah, I didn’t know he was that popular.
Congrats to all! Yessssss What Now creeping its way into the top 20!!!!
ROC are obviously working hard to make sure Elijah pops, I wish Epic could get their asses together 2bh.
When was the last time ciara scanned a million sis? Lol body party took 8 months just to go gold the f****** struggle.
You’re worrying about Ciara when BTD hasn’t scanned a million yet.
You know things are bad for Ciara if TGJ don’t include her in their chart checks. What happened to OD?
@LanaDelSlay Yaaaass!!!
@Barb the song is a total flop her fans thought it would do well because it’s pop
Elijah Blake is very talented but unless Roc pump money into him like crazy he’ll end up like every other R&B boy. Where is BSmyth? Where is J. Holiday? Who cares about August Alsina outside of the hood?
Reading comprehension is key my dear. TGJ’s reason for supporting him is because he’s clearly friends with David and because someone must of told them that RN are going to give him the JT treatment.
They would have to go out of their way to sabotage him for him to be a flop at this point.
Streams =/= sales.
August Alsina had a #1 hit though. Continue to celebrate YouTube views while August is on RELEVANT charts.
Don’t bring other artists down because your fave can’t get a hit.
Streams indicate interest boo boo. They show how interested people are in a singer and then it’s up to the label to turn that interest into units. Btw, not you talking about August Alsina as if he is slaying anything besides his fans’ unemployment cheques. He is basic at best.
Aweeee. He’s basic but he had a NUMBER ONE HIT! Numero uno! Where has any of Elijah’s singles charted? August isn’t a typical run-of-the mill singer, he’s a hip hop artist who happens to sing. Maybe Elijah should step his swag up to garner some attention. Again I say…. NUMBER ONE HIT! When will Elijah?
B**** born to die has sold 5 million copies worldwide stupid c***! get at me when Flopara scan 250 k worldwide kiiiii
Not that Lana song only selling 1 million now, 9865225252842180 years after it was released. Applause has sold 2 million, and its only been out for 3 months.
Lana stans are broke f**** and trannies that can’t afford a single on iTunes, let alone an entire album.
The Fame Monster is diamond by the way.. That’s the power of the Monsters. I can understand why Lana stans are always bitter
Care to explain why Gaga lied about AP’s sales?
Applause has sold 1.6 million. Stop inflating!
Elijah’s cakes in that picture though.
Mind out of the gutter sis.
B**** your so obsessed with us Lana fans… not our fault GaGa career is bout to be in the shithole like Ciaras hahaha.
So let’s get this straight. Lana only has two songs that have scanned a milli?
JAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAAAAAA.
Fairytales and Artpop Fallacies- A Novel By LIEdy Gaga.
The struggle for Lana to get any real US success Lmao.
The struggle for Future to pay his child support.
And kiiiiiiii at Lorde mopping the charts with Lana’s cheap weave from Walmart..
Ultimate kiiii
Media Traffic just clocked Gags. She was lying about the 1.2 million.
How do you feel?
How do u feel about MDNA having the highest drop in sales EVER?? (87%)
Ciara will always slay lana her fans can remain pressed.
The struggle for Rihanna to pass an S** test @QueenoftheGayvy
Was Gaga really lying about the sales omg
Elijah stans (who knew he had any) are always coming for August! Are you guys upset because August had a #1 hit and has an EP available for purchase? I think Elijah has a pretty voice and cool music, but none of his songs have charted anywhere other than iTunes. Maybe your fave should stick to songwriting.
Excuse me as I laugh. OK, let me begin. We have no reason to be upset when our fave is an internationally renowned songwriter who makes more money than August will ever see in his life.
Second of all, if you’re going to brag about EP’s please come with receipts. What good is your EP being AFP if nobody is purchasing it.
Third of all, not you acting like B22 didn’t have more impact than DT.
I don’t deny his songwriting talent. Everyone whos good with the pen and pad isn’t cut out to be a star. Case in point: The Dream. Again I say….I LUV THIS S*** was a #1 HIT! NUMERO UNO! You can try to twist it all you want, but you cannot deny the fact that ILTS slayed any single that your fave ATTEMPTED to release. What the hell is B22? Lmao. You Elijah fans are so pressed. 98% of August stans don’t even know who Elijah is….along with 98% of the WORLD. Stay mad that Elijah will never see a billboard chart. 😀
That’s cute but AA’s hood rat ass is not going anywhere anytime soon. Elijah has a promising career ahead of him. We all know what Roc is capable of when they pull out the big guns. You don’t get 10 million streams unless people are interested. Trust me, Elijah will pop off and August Aslina will be forgotten
I’m gonna need the Lana stans to organize a search party for Lana’s #1 singles on the BB100, I can’t find them
While you’re at it could you look for the truth too, give it to Gaga when you see her.
#1.2MillionMyAss
I don’t mean to start or stir any s***, but EB is miles better than AA. It’s plain to see that AA gave TGJ an interview because he wanted the same deal they gave EB. They’re both great but AA will never be on EB’s level.
TGJ gave August an interview because he’s hot right now dummy. August has surpassed Elijah simply by having a song on the BILLBOARD CHARTS. A #1 song at that. None of Elijah’s songs have come close to a billboard chart. *plays Ghetto*
the fame monster has sold over 10 million world wide…not 10 million in one country….
diamond means selling over 10 million in one country, not worldwide…
adele 21 diamond, because it has sold over 10 million in the united states alone….
if that was the case mariah, britney, madonna, janet jackson, xtina, whitney, all would have over 4,5,6 diamond albums, if diamond meant worldwide
CLLG didn’t finish school, which is why she is so stupid.
Glad to see What Now skyrocketing on the charts. By far my favorite song off Unapologetic next to Stay. Congrats to all!
I’m still waiting for that search party for Lana’s #1 singles on the BB100 doe…
*waits some more*
Idk why people are trying to drag Overdose when neither Ciara or her label care enough to push it. Fan support will only get you so far if no one else helps out.
@BeyRihStan Touched a nerve did I? Uh huh I think I did.
You said Elijah will never see a Billboard chart and I want you to mark this day because he will see the Billboard charts MANY times, more times than your hoodrat fave could possibly dream of.
I know you’re mad that Elijah was able to tour with his EP while AA collects the songs TS doesn’t want for himself.
I know you’re mad that Vendetta has been streamed 10 million times and LFP 1 million times but you can’t produce ANY receipts for AA’s EP.
Please name an Elijah Blake single that charted? Written and PERFORMED by Elijah Blake? ILTS was written and performed by August and went straight to #1. LMAO what tour has Elijah gone on? That ghetto lessor tour with Melanie Fiona and Bridget Kelly that no one attended? Bwahahaha. August performs to sold out crowds almost every night. Elijah couldn’t even sell out a nightclub with his irrelevant self. LoL! In the end, August garnered more views in a smaller time period so HE WINS *in my Tamar voice* 😆
Since you guys want to brag about YouTube views, ILTS has 11 million. 🙂 The remix itself got 1.8 million views in a month. 🙂
Mad that Elijah finished school?
Mad that Elijah has written more hits than August has smoked blunts?
Mad that Pepsi endorses him?
Yep, you’re mad.
I LUV THIS S*** = #1
Vendetta = N/A
Xox = N/A
August is unapologetically August. He’s a thug, he smokes, drinks, has s** with groupies but yet he stiill got a #1 hit! And btw August has his diploma. False tea alert.
The only singer-songwriter that’s slaying right now is Sevyn Streeter. She has a top 40 hit. Elijah doesn’t even have that. So I think you’re mad. 🙂
My name says it
ALL FLOPS. BEYONCE & RIHANNA EXPOSED KIIIII: bit.ly/1aYyXLr
lmao bey and rih are lames like lana
I’m sorry didnt lana’s last album sold like 67k on its first week?
so why the f*** are her retarded fans are coming for ciara….lana had a bigger budget, she had a bigger promotion and still sold 67k
people in glass houses shouldnt be throwing stones…
the lana stans stays having a hard d*** for ciara, they are always the first ones to bring her name up on every single post…
your fav aint that great of an artist to be bashing other people..the majority of her live performances have been garbage….
she has an album that sold 5 million, ciara has albums that sold millions
basic b****** irks my damn nerves
Lana’s impact >>>>> Ciara’s career.
^^^
THE DELUSION 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
Why are the August Alsina and Elijah Blake stans fighting when they’re BOTH on the come up. The biggest advantage Elijah has over August is that he’s a better singer and songwriter and that he is more media trained 2bfair.
I liked his interview with TGJ because he came across very nice but he does need to be media trained.
Elijah Fake stans are clearly intimidated by August. They are always mentioning him when August fans could care less about Elijah. If you want respect you have to give it.
grats to all — have a happy turkey day babies!!! xoxo
Elijah Blake has a promising career ahead of him. You August fans bragging about charts just wait till Roc Nation gets the machine running for Elijah. He will be everywhere. And lets be real. AA’s ghetto ass is not getting any endorsements, any covers, or any deals. He’s not marketable. His success stops at the Urban charts. Elijah has cross over appeal and he’s marketable. His future looks brighter at the end of the day.
I never thought I’d see the day where I agreed with your slutty ass.
August is just as successful as Elijah but the only difference is that Elijah has the biggest R&B blog force feeding him to their readers who have clearly been brainwashed into believing he’s Justin Timberlake or Usher or something.
Good TGJ, your plan is obviously working.
NB is much bigger than this blog will ever be, and I haven’t seen one Elijah story on there. No shade to TGJ. 🙂
I LUV THIS S*** #1. VENDETTA AND XOX #NOWHERE.
Omg, what is going on here? I love Elijah and August but Elijah is a mainstream star, August is not. I’m sorry, it’s a fact.
August is Teairra Mari and Elijah is Rihanna.
LOL at the comparison!! But I agree with you
Elijah is a mainstream star but has two flop singles under his belt? You guys have been saying the same s*** for a year. August came out of the blue and snatched Elijah’s goatee. So as of right now, August is Rihanna and Elijah is Teairra. 🙂 NUMERO UNO! Where is Vendetta and Xox on the charts?
LOL!!!! You f**** are crazy… Why are y’all arguing about August and Elijah??
DEAD.. LOL… I am getting my kiiiiii’s from this frivolous conversation 😀 😀 😀 😀
One second i’m on top, then suddenly Katy slayed me.
elijah blake has music? i like that august alsina song — and he is much sexier than the other guy. sorry xoxo.
The only reason Rita stans are defending Elijah is because they’re cut from the same cloth. Sam and David pick and choose their favorites and overexxagerate their success until you dumbasses believe it to.
Nobody cared about Rita until they started forcing her down our throats and the same goes for Elijah.
It’s the exact same trend, Roc pay them to get the ball rolling so people are interested by the time they spend any money on them.
#Fuckpropoganda.
People still don’t care about Rita or Elijah. What kind of lies?
‘People still don’t care about Rita’.
3 number one singles.
1 platinum album.
1 egg on your face.
^^^^Kiiii @ that hot tea you just served. Let me add a sold out European Tour to that list.
Moderator: Comment deleted.
Receipts or f*** off.
The fiction of it all. The only person who would know that is someone in the industry which is why I think you work for August Welfaresina.
Lmao! Elijah can’t even get attention in America, so what makes them think he can make a dent in the UK music world? The kii’s of it all!
NB is a lifestyle blog, TGJ is a music blog which is why him being covered here is more important.
Music AND lifestyle, but she covers mostly music. No mentions of Elijah over there. Even Iggy gets coverage. 😆
What do you mean EVEN Iggy.
Same place as Lana’s platinum US album plaque @lana NOW STAY PRESSED, D***
LMAO THEY DONT HEAR U @RATEDX 3MIL IN THE US OFF DEBUT LETS SEE THIS WHITE H** DO IT! KIII ! 😆
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! DIG IN!!! 😆 😆
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The August and Elijah stans 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
…NOT an ELIJAH coming for anybody though, especially August!!!
When has Elijah ever been relevant
B****, stay stanning for youtube, sound cloud, twitter and instagram whiles others actually garner #1 hits!!!
I CANNOT.
KIIIIIIIIIIII.
#Troll. Hello @BeyRishStan
LoL I’m flattered. 🙄
LoL I know right @FrankOcean. This is the only site that talks about Elijah, and has Elijan “stans”. The Elijah “stans” are always boasting about irrelevant crap. August has a #1 single under his belt, and until one of Elijah’s many attempts does the same thing there is nothing they can say about August. Intimidated, much? 😆
Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.
First sign…. as in first, as in #1, as in I LUV THIS S***? When will Elijah? Lmaooooo.
Pepsi deal no album out though. Talented, attractive, with a powerful label and most importantly: he’s not a hood rat. AA will probably be on parole this time next year with 6 baby mamas
What kind of up and comer drag fest? 2bfair August is s*** but I can’t see him being as big as Elijah.
This is why I love this website, it’s the only place I can come to see every single fan base going at it. Elijah and August stans fighting? I live!
These August stans are just as delusional as the Squad.
Kiiii to the motherfucking kiiiii. The only delusional one here is YOU if you think Beyonce will ever have another hit album.
Oh b****, you don’t want it with me today. My dad just ate the last slice of RV so I’m already pissed the f*** off already. Don’t try me w****. DO NOT TRY ME.
Not the Elijah and August stans going all Sharkiesha on each other… What kind of ratchetness???? 😀 😀
Girl, I’ve been perched on this thread reading them got at it for the last hour.
You should have perched yourself at the dust collector’s office where TAGG is hiding.
Sis, my refresh button has been working overtime in the last hour…
I am getting my entire life from these stans!! This is much better than watching the c-squard drag the Lana stans
Don’t you have an album to save?
•Plays Walking on air.
Lol. Drag ha.
The one that has sold 1.2 million WW in its second week?? Prism is yet to sell 1 million WW, and its been out for 9452582852 weeks..
So I don’t think ARTPOP needs any saving, but you tried it
I want the CSquad to tell me why Ciara still hasn’t sold 150k even after all this time.
I want Cake Like Lady Gaga to tell me why she lied about Ap’s sales.
She’s too busy watching Elijah stans vs August stans to notice her fave is floppity flop flop flopping.
Dead, Team Lana DRAGGED the Z Squad. Good job guys. Now we need to prepare for Lana’s upcoming Oscar nomination/win in the next few months.
Haha at Mediatraffic clocking Flopga.
Look what the cat dragged in.
Why are you even here? Didn’t Lana ask you to book a new botox appointment for her?
Y’all have been claiming these relationships between Rita Ora, Elijah Blake, Roc Nation and TGJ. Unless I see legit proof I will believe it was pulled out of your ass. Why doesn’t TGJ promote Bridget Kelly or Jay Electronica or other Roc Nation acts?
All this right here.
What about Cedric his testosterone appointments?
Is he even charting?
Is Local Party platinum yet?
Have you found Lana’s Grammy yet?
Ask her!
At an Icki stan coming for Grammys. You should ask the same to your fave. Probably stuck up it’s rotten egg smelling plastic asscrack.
You want to talk about plastic when Lana’s lips look the way they do.
But Icki’s ass alone has more plastic than a Bratz doll factory. Kii. Stay mad that both of your faves have to go attention whoring all over Instagram/Twitter just to stay relevant. Icki has her cottage cheese ass and deflating tits all over IG in the last month and still couldn’t get Roman Retarded or the Re-Fund to sell. Born To Die has already outsold them.
I got the summertime, summertime botox.
Zzz at these 2011 Botox drags. There’s no receipts saying that she got I anyways. Now care to explain why Cierror is getting outsold by Marina and The Diamonds on the iTunes albums chart?
No receipts!!!!!!
The receipts are written all over her face.
Just like the receipts all over iTunes showing that Cierror is a flop.
iTunes Albums Chart:
75. Lana Del Rey – Born To Die (nearly two years old)
833. Marina and The Diamonds – Electra Heart (Deluxe Edition)
N/A. Ciara – Ciara
Some of ya’ll stay miserable all year round….sad. Anyway Happy Thanksgiving everyone
Gratz to them all.
Wow great to hear… elijah is such an inspiration
check out “Dare” by new artist Marcel
http://youtu.be/UjNYIt2znVo
Cake Like Lady Gaga will forever be a joke after saying that Fame Monster went diamond. Ha! In what world? You do know that diamond is 10 million units in the US right? Gold, Platinum and Diamond only applies to the sales in each country, not world wide. You guys are as sad as Nicki stating that she has two platinum albums when the 2nd on is just at gold.
Ache chehe ! Ho na ke meleko! That grape juice e ne ee felletsoe hore e ka bua ka eng? Abe really since when are iTunes charts relevant,? His single picked at #12 on iTunes USA? Like really? Ciara I’m out also went to # 14 on iTunes but nothing came of it!
hahhahhah.. wow. ke qala ho bona motho a buang Sesotho on this blog.. where are you from darling/
