TGJ Replay: Ciara’s ‘Fantasy Ride’

Published: Saturday 25th Jan 2014 by Rashad

After a lengthy break on the bench, ‘TGJ Replay’ is back!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective segment – a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  Today we roll down memory lane to Urban princess Ciara‘s criminally underrated album ‘Fantasy Ride’

Ciara Princess Harris had seen her first two albums establish her as one of Urban music’s ‘must see acts’.  With #1 singles and stage-blazing performances to boot, the success of her platinum-selling sophomore set ‘The Evolution’ put even more pressure on her to deliver when it came to her junior album.

To ensure she met expectations, Harris employed an all-star team of songwriters and producers including Danja, Darkchild, Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo, Dr. Luke, Polow Da Don, Tricky Stewart, and most notably, The Dream (who was still very much enjoying the success of his efforts with Ci’s R&B/pop contemporary Beyonce and her hit ‘Single Ladies’).

What was birthed from those sessions was indeed an evolution from the Atlantan songstress.  Christened ‘Fantasy Ride’, the album proved itself a sonic rollercoaster – an eclectic mix of futuristic R&B seasoned with Urban flavored Rock, Pop, and Electronica.  The evidence of this was spotted from the LP’s first offering ‘Go Girl’ featuring the time’s “it-collaborator” T-Pain.

‘Go Girl’

Fans watched and couldn’t help but say ‘Go Girl’ after seeing Cici break it down in that now classic office scene – a standout performance from an overall glossy reassurance that she had indeed ‘arrived’.

Yes, despite mixed reviews from critics, minimal promotion, and no “official release”, the song did manage to score Hot 100 placement and would later prove itself a modest hit.  Undeterred, the abdicated Crunk N’ B royal tapped fellow Atlantan Young Jeezy and pressed forward with ‘Never Ever’ – ‘Fantasy Ride’s official first single.

‘Never Ever’

Performing better than it’s ‘Go Girl’ predecessor by peaking at #66, like ‘Girl’, the minimal promotion that accompanied ‘Never’ saw it meet an unfortunately similar fate.

With hope almost lost for the project, fans feared Ciara’s ‘Fantasy Ride’ was turning more into “Nightmare’s Journey”.  That is, until Pop superstar Justin Timberlake assisted the R&B princess on their spicy cut ‘Love, Sex, and Magic’.

‘Love Sex Magic’

The duo’s chemistry in ‘Magic’ appeared to be the potion the project needed to re-energize public interest.  Soaring to #10, the funky number would not only lend one of Ciara’s most memorable video performances, but also her last top 10 hit on Billboard Hot 100 (to date).

When we peruse the video collection of the song’s live renditions, we see why listeners fell in love:

‘Love, Sex, & Magic’ (live at Kimmel)

With just enough ammunition, Ciara turned the ignition key on ‘Fantasy Ride’ in May 2009.  Greeted with overall pleasant critical review, the album gave the songstress her third top 3 debut when it debuted at #3 to the tune of 81k sold first week.

Admittedly, the sales – which would ring admirable in today’s sales climate – signaled what some feared was a declining interest in the R&B starlet.  And, when fingers started to get pointed at who was to blame, a certain Terius ‘The Dream’ Nash found himself at the top of hit lists (a feat repeated during Mariah Carey‘s ‘Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel’ era).

‘Work’

Criminally underrated on the commercial front, the album would swiftly ride off charts despite being assisted with jaw-dropping visuals like ‘Work’ – her supersonic reconnection with ‘1,2 Step’ co-star Missy Elliott.

Landing the songstress only one Grammy nomination for ‘Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals’, ‘Fantasy Ride’ would send Ciara on the road toward reworking her sound and rebuilding her brand.  A feat since accomplished as evidenced by her 2013 self-titled fifth album.

cijeezy

Alas, we can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened had ‘Fantasy’ received the promotional attention it truly deserved.  Its crisp sonic and visual packaging undoubtedly showcased the work of one of the genre’s premier live performers, yet, as time has proven, discernible talent is probably the smallest component in the equation of music industry success these days.

Without a machine to push, strategic placements, and the right “friendships” built, commercial relevance can often be daunting.  Nevertheless, we ode Ciara’s ‘Fantasy Ride’ for the gem that it was.  We still bump ‘Go Girl’ and ‘Like A Surgeon’ on the regular, but you tell us:

    This album would have been epic if they stuck to the 3CD idea

    Ciara has been managed horrifically & it is unfair.

    Like A Surgeon, High Price, Tell Me What Your Name Is are my faves!

  2. An0thrDream January 25, 2014

    TGJ , you couldn’t be more right. The album itself was incredible and ahead of its time. Songs like Work, like a surgeon, high price, tell me what your name is, and ciara to the stage were set to be epic releases and visual displays

    The fact Ciara’s label at the time neglected her as an artist was an atrocity , she deserved so much more support for this gem of an album

    Despite it not doing so well on a numbers front, she still brought it with every performance. One if the main reasons I’m a fan if Ciara is he hardworking, determination, consistency, and raw talent. So grateful for her growth and presence in the industry!

  3. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    CERTIFIED FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! CERTIFIED FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! CERTIFIED FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! CERTIFIED FLOPPPPPPPPPPPP BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AND ALSO I SEE MEMOIRS OF AN FLOP CD TO BWAHAHAHAHAHA. TWO IRRELEVANT H***.

  4. BEYONCÉ January 25, 2014

    Harpo who dis man?

  5. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    Hmmm…I wonder has Fantasy Flops, Basic Sh*t, and Citranny all combined sold over 500k yet?????

  6. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    Digger H** still pressed by Queen Mariah. 200 million sold. They know their faves will never. Lol

  7. Antonio January 25, 2014

    This album/era were poised to be Pop greatness at it’s finest. Go Girl reached #75 on the Hot 100 and even reached #1 in Japan and charted moderately overseas despite never being released to radio, low sales and not a single promotional performance. Never Ever shared an equal fate. It’s sad because Jive completely abandoned Ciara to push Britney and her Circus album, which was a starter business move but Fantasy Ride was a much better album then they played Ciara by having her open for Britney in Europe instead of giving her a tour of her own. If they would’ve continued to push the album with the original 3 part concept like Ciara wanted, it would’ve did well. This album could’ve easily pulled Circus’ #s (1.5 mil US/4-5 mil WW). Go Girl and Never Ever could’ve been huge international and US hits respectively and songs like Work, Like a Surgeon, Tell Me What Your Name Is, Pucker Up, Keep Dancin’ on Me and Turntables would’ve been huge hits qnd had great visuals…

  8. Antonio January 25, 2014

    They’ve actually sold over 1 million WW. Fantasy Ride has sold around 600k, Basic Instinct 200k and Ciara 250k

  9. hug January 25, 2014

    To be fair,Ciara’s first three albums were pretty great.

    The Evolution>Goodies>Fantasy Ride>Basic Instinct>Ciara

    Fantasy Ride just kept getting pushed back,”Neva Eva” as the lead single was a mistake nobody was here for mid-tempo Ciara. Love,S**,& Magic should’ve been the first single.Since then she has kept choosing wrong singles and releasing material that is just beyond basic,just like the videos that followed.

    I wish ppl would stop shading her, she used to be decent.

  10. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FLOPIAH IS STILL HOLDING ON TO MOOMOO’S ANCIENT SALES LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO. THE QUEEN IS CLOSING N ON 200 MILLION RECORDS SOLD AND STILL RELEVANT LMFAO. #MOOMOO HAS NEVER

  11. Liesssss January 25, 2014

    Lies! FR didn’t even sell 500k ww. BI probably sold 200k (doubt it) and Ciara is at 168k ww. Stop inflating bew. N

  12. GREEKGOD January 25, 2014

    I remember this era. I remember being in 8th grade doing every dance move from the Go Girl video in gym class. Then when Never Ever came out , that was my favorite R&B slow jam. The song was played by every kid my age who had a stupid crush because the lyrics spoke to us. We were like what? 12-14. Then I remember being a Freshman when Work came out. I was that boy going around saying “When this song come on in the club” in my Missy Elliot voice. The girls used to love it. Then I would go twerk my ass to Work. Then that summer I really got into Lovers Thing when I dated this girl that I adored. I remember Love, S** and Magic being a top 10 hit. Like A Surgeon and Turntables were my faves too. They should’ve been singles. I also enjoyed “G Is For Girl” oh and the album Artwork was soo cute. It was a good R&B album and the performances from that era were great. But it is what it is.

  13. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    LMFAOOOO I BET HOGIAH WISH SHE COULD STILL SELL RECORDS LIKE SHE DID WHEN THE DINOSAURS STILL ROAMED THE EARTH BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HOGIAH CAN’T GO COPPER THESE DAYS LMAOOOOOOOOO

  14. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    Death… In which world is Beyonce closing in on 200 million? The delusions. Mariah sold more records in the US alone than Beyonce sold worldwide. You tried.

  15. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    Antonio…..That’s PATHETIC! Just like Citranny. OMG! I LUV THE CRITICS say on Fantasy Flops. *****SOME CRITICS FOUND THE ALBUM TO BE A “DUD” AND OTHERS SAYING “CIARA SEEMS TO GO ALMOST UNNOTICED.” BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. CITRANNY WENT MISSING N 2009 AND HAVEN’T BEEN HEARD OF ARE SEEN SINCE THEN! #2005 – 2009 WHAT A SHORT CAREER

  16. Sandra January 25, 2014

    @Digger bey
    Just saying Beyonce is not even close to 200 million records sold… She has barely passed the 100 million mark as a solo artist (30+ million albums, 70 million singles) and even with Destiny Childs sales combined she sold around 150 million. Not 200 lol
    I like Beyonce but stick to facts

  17. Zave January 25, 2014

    Now y’all stop playing! Ciara is a flop BUT THIS ALBUM WAS A MASTERPIECE and still is. Y’all talking about “Partition”? “Ciara to the Stage” is IT!! I love this album with “Ciara” in 2nd and “Basic Instinct” in 3rd.

  18. MusicFan January 25, 2014

    This album was amazing! I feel it was ahead of it’s time in 2009! Ciara always moves swiftly with creating and re-creating different sounds! As well as bringing those sounds to light and killer performances….If Fnatasy Ride possibly came out around Basic Instinct, I think it may have done better….However the mis-managing of the product was inevitable anyway…She deserves so much more and she cannot be counted out anymore as it is showing as of late…regardless of how sales are…”Ciara” put her back on the map and that album is #FLAWLESS, top to bottom…every track stands out and that is something within itself! I am proud of her for striving and still pushing…When you have shady people around you setting you up for failure that is hard to get out of (sans..”FANTASY RIDE” and “BASIC INSTINCT”)…I know now that shes back to being noticed and has clarity and better people around her she is going to have a successful year with great music this year as well…She has much to be proud of and although #BodyParty wasn’t nominated (due to too much sampling) she still WON with that..and it is nice to know that the song was still recognized by the GRAMMYs and just could not be entered due to the rule. So CONGRATS C!

  19. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) January 25, 2014

    Great article TGJ!! This is the kinda of stuff I like reading. Anyway, this album was handled AWFUL!! The concept was cool and I like “Go Girl.” But the single choices just weren’t right and I feel the timing overall was off. “Turntables” should’ve been a single and heavily promoted. Imagine what that video would’ve been like?! Great album, poor handling…

  20. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    HOGIAH STAN THE WORLD IS CALLED EARTH. YOU KNOW THE ONE UR FAV IS AN LESSOR IN NOW LMAO

  24. Antonio January 25, 2014

    @Digger Bey, you brought up 2 critic reviews out of how many?! I can copy and paste so many negative reviews Bey’s albums have received so let’s not.
    @Liessss I will correct myself, I typed the wrong #s… FR is at 500k and BI and Ciara are both at 200k, that 165k you posted is from like 2-3 months ago, I’m sure her sales have risen

  25. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    Earth? Ohhh…. You mean the world where Beyonce’s albums struggle to sell? Lol still no 15+ million seller.

  26. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    The same “earth” where Beyonce flopped on her 4th album? The same “Earth” where Beyonce released every song on her album as singles an still struggled for double-platinum? Lol, Mariah in her prime would never experience such struggle. #YouStanForTheLesserBeytch

  27. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    STEPHY THE F*G …..F** LEGGO! I’M READY C*NT! THE QUEEEEEEEEEEEN SHALL REMAIN UNBOTHERED AND I’M THE ONE WHO WILL DO THE DRAGGGGGGING PATHETIC LOW LIFE F**. @HOGIAH STAN……THE QUEEN SALES ARE WELL OVER 170 MILLION SOLD! #AND STILL RELEVANT LMFAO

  28. Molly January 25, 2014

    Wish Ciara to the stage was a single my favorite track from Fantasy ride, this album is very underrated its so good.

  29. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    YOU LYING SL*T @ Sandra.
    …IF UR RIGHT….THEN 150 IS NOT FAR FROM 200. BEYONCE WILL SELL CLOSE TO OR OVER 10 MILLION! SO WHERE DO U THINK HER SALES WILL BE THEN??? THE QUEEN HAS SOLD OVER 170 MILLION RECORDS! ACTUALLY OVER 180 MILLION. #IS HOGIAH RELEVANT AGAIN?

  30. Molly January 25, 2014

    @DiggerBey do you have a life or does it consist of Ciara and Mariah? f*** outta here!!!!!

  31. slay_hive January 25, 2014

    I’m not gone even shade Cierror today! Work was my S***! I still go in to it when it comes on in the club 😉

  32. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    Fantasy Ride: 2009 (Sold 195,000+ USA)
    Basic Instinct: 2010 (Sold 116,000+ USA)
    Ciara: 2013 (Sold 133,000+ USA)

    Accordng to Nielsen Soundscan…

    Ciara’s last 3 albums sold a combined 450,000+ albums. That’s not good. Her albums are actually REALLY good.

    This cant be on Ciaras part. Her label or someone is not doing something right. Cause to combined all her last 3 albums & to still not hit the GOLD mark is WEIRD…

    Or you Ciara stans has stopped buying her albums….

  33. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    The lies. Beyonce’s highest selling album is 11 million yet you want me to believe she she sold 170 million. Lol. Beyonce’s albums combined haven’t even sold 40 million worldwide… That is less than Mariah sold in the US Hun. Where did the remaining 130 million record sales come from Hun? Lol

  34. ratedxx(love is beautiful) January 25, 2014

    I think Ciara is very underrated as an artist…she is a beast when it comes to entertaining her ass off…

    I think the main issue is that people would rather spend their money supporting garbage music vs, on a great album..

    the reason music is garbage today is because all people care about is album sales, number one hits and so forth..

    so people who actually take their time to write their songs and create a visual masterpiece, get push to the side..

  35. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    Digger Bey, I really liked you. But you obviously want to make me your enemy huh? Why tho?

    I have said nothing but nice things about you on this site. But weirdly you always ignored my positive comments about you but soon as I say something negative I get a response quicker than a crackhead waiting for some money…

    Also, I was gonna start our dragging fest until you said Beyoncé sold 175,000,000+ records. This lie proves that you are delusional.

    Rihanna has sold way more records than Beyoncé & Detinys Child put together.. Let that sink in boo

  36. Britney Stan January 25, 2014

    Has Beyonce even sold 50 million albums?

  37. Britney Stan January 25, 2014

  42. ratedxx(love is beautiful) January 25, 2014

    to be honest, we don’t really know how much beyonce has actually sold…because her number gets inflated every month…

    when you break down each album sales, Alicia keys has actually sold more than her..but on paper, beyonce sold more….

    I don’t trust billboard or any other music information, because we all know billboard is in the carters pockets..

    but I know for a fact beyonce hasn’t sold 200 million..hell its around 100million including destiny’s child numbers too

    “SHE STILL SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYED HOGIAH N THE 2000S LMAOOOOOOO”

    She slayed Mariah in the 2000s yet The Emancipation (released in 2005) outsold every Beyonce album ever released. Lol delusional B***** fans.

  56. Molly January 25, 2014

    @Lovebird no it wasn’t boo stop it,it had some AMAZING tracks on there.

  57. slay_hive January 25, 2014

    @STephy and @Hagriah

    What are you trying to prove by posting Mariah’s album sales from 20 years ago to Beyonce who just went solo 10 years ago with only FIVE albums??

    You can’t compare. TWO different eras in music. sales are not like they used to be, and they will never be that way again!

    Why do you feel the need to constantly throw Mooriah’s sales up. Are ya’ll that insecure because you know she is flopping now, and her voice is DONE?

    Beyonce may not have the sales that Mooriah has, but she is just as respected, maybe even more NOW. Sales ARE NOT the only qualifications to be considered an icon or legend!

    LET IT GO! Enjoy your ancient albums please 😉

  58. Molly January 25, 2014

    @Slay_Hive how dare you accuse me of such a thing w****.

    The Evolution is still her best album IMO

  69. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    Beyonce is not pushing no 200 million. Why is she never on the list of best selling females if this is the case. It’s alway been like this:

    1)Madonna
    2)Mariah
    3)Celine
    4)Whitney
    5)Janet

    Beyonce was never there. Keep inflating. It DOES NOT change facts.

  70. Molly January 25, 2014

    Also Slay_Hive and Diggerbey can get lost aswell, take that s*** to a Thiefyonce post ok.

  71. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    Digger Bey came for Mariah first though.

  72. Molly January 25, 2014

    @Lovebird i agree the evolution was definitely her best followed by goodies and then fantasy ride imo babe what’s your favorite Ciara tracks?

  73. Lovebird January 25, 2014

    @Molly

    But how else are they going to convince themselves that she is “queen” if they do not parade her 17 pornographic material everywhere? They are an insecure bunch.

  74. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    @SlayHive, this is not personal babe. I like you. Im doing this for DIGGER F***..

    So, since the HIVV++ like to say Mariah’s sales are acient. Lets compare Beyoncé with a more NEWER record selling QUEEN THAT STILL OUTSOLD BEYOLDCE less then 10 years…

    THE FACTS ARE THE QUEEN HAS SHUT MOOMOO ALL THE WAY DOWN! SHE CAN BARELY GO GOLD NOW AND SUPPOSE TO BE LEGENDARY BWAHAHAHAHAHA. THE QUEEN >>>>>>>> MoooooMoo. ALSO SHE HAS BEEN DRAGGGGING MOOMOO N THE 2000S! MOOMOO ONLY HAS ONE MULTIPLATNUIM ALBUM N THE 00S. WHILE THE QUEEN HAS 3 AND HEADING TOWARDS FOUR!

  76. slay_hive January 25, 2014

    Stephy 70% of rihanna’s “record” sales are SINGLES though, and she has more albums and singles than Beyonce, so saying she has outsold her in less than 10 years is not saying much. She should be ahead by much more.

    The reason she is called a singles artiste! kii LOL

  77. Molly January 25, 2014

    @Lovebird really? im shocked didn’t expect you to say that song but and i slays, my favorite Ciara songs are

    Like a boy
    Ciara to the stage
    DUI
    So hard
    & Ride

  78. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    @LoveBird, did Beyoncé sell 200+ million records?

    @SlayHive, Rihanna has surpassed Beyoncé & DC in sales but not album but in overall RECORD sales…

  79. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    THE FACTS ARE MARIAH SHUT B***** ALL THE WAY DOWN! NONE OF HER ALBUMS SOLD OVER 15 MILLION AND SHE SUPPOSED TO BE A LEGEND/ICON. BWAHAHAHA. THE QUEEEEN >>>> B*****
    ALSO B***** ONLY HAS 1 ALBUM ON NIELSEN’s LIST WHILE THE QUEEN HAS 5!!

  80. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    POOR HOGIAH USE TO BE AN RESPECTABLE SINGER AND NOW SHE’S NOW AN LESSER B*TCH STRUGGLING TO SELL BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA……I CAN’T LMFAOOOOOOO. THE HOG IS LITERALLY ON THE SAME LEVEL AS MYLIE AND KATY. EXCEPT THOSE TWO HASN’T HAD 987667654667556757566467557557476 PUSH BACKS AND THEY HAVEN’T BEEN KICKED OFF LABELS FOR “STRUGGLING SELLS BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  81. slay_hive January 25, 2014

    @Molly

    B**** STOP!!! You are on EVERY Beyonce post with that tired “thief” shade. I said i was going to keep it cute with this flop b****. Don’t push me honey. 😉

  82. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    POOR B***** WANTS TO BE A LEGEND SO BAD BUT SHE WILL ALWAYS BE A LESSER B***** STRUGGLING TO SELL BWAHAHAHAHA….I CANT LMFAOOOOO

  83. Tyler January 25, 2014

    Wtf do u insist on feeding into Slayriah???? She’s always finding ways to start s*** just so she can find a way to bring up her fave; with this Beyonce vs…b******* that she keeps talking about. It makes no sense nor is it relevant to the topic at hand. She’s merely promoting Mariah and fulfilling her TGJ trolling duties.

  84. Molly January 25, 2014

    @Slay_Hive well she is a thief so that will never be tired hun you should keep it cute tho. Were supposed to be good girlfriends. 🙂

  85. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    I provided nothing but facts & Digger F*** has provided nothing but made up sales & opinion. SO I WIN THIS DRAGGING FEST..

    Anyways, back to Cici…. Molly, I like when you get me together. You seem like an older mid 20s black woman who don’t take no s***.

    @Lovebird, Fantasy Ride was a good album. I don’t know what your talking about. The album cover was a bit outdated & corny tho.. But I thought the music was perfect for 2009.

  86. Molly January 25, 2014

    @Tyler your feeding into Slayriah tho.

  87. the real xoxo January 25, 2014

    although her last 2 albums have been TRASH, this album actually had a few cute songs! ‘Work’ and ‘Lovers Thing’ >>

  88. slay_hive January 25, 2014

    I don’t think Aretha, patti labelle, and plenty of other legends have sold what Mariah has, YET they are still considered legends.

    TALENT and IMPACT is what makes you a legend. Not sales, even though that helps. Beyonce will be remembered years from now, because of her ability to tear a stage apart. Nobody mentions Mariah’s sales but you insecure lambs.

    She is known for being a lip syncing fraud now, and a HORRIBLE one at that! She is ruining her legacy and you bitter lambs aren’t helping her. kii

  89. Molly January 25, 2014

    @Stephy Lmao really? Well im 19 and half white & black but thanks hun i love putting you girls in your place and your right i don’t take no s***.

  90. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    BWAHAHAHA THE B***** IS LITERALLY ON THE SAME LEVEL AS R**** AND VILEY. USING THEIR NASTY BODIES TO SELL S**. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT VILEY AND RIHFOREHEAD CAN HAVE HITS WHILE LESSER BEYTCHES CANT EVEN GO TOP TEN…. BWAHAHAHA THE MUTHAFAWKIN STRUGGLE

  91. Tyler January 25, 2014

    Aww “And I” is a really good song…memories! lol

  92. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    Stephy The F*ggy F*g…….Hoeianna HASN’T PASSED THE QUEEN AND DC N SALES C*NT. THAT D*** N UR BOOTY IS MESSING UR BRAIN UP LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. THE QUEEN ALONE HAS SOLD OVER 120 MILLION. DC SALES ARE OVER 70 MILLION. BOTH HAVE SOLD MORE ALBUMS THAN THE H**. I THINK UR JUST MAD THAT I’M DRAGGGGGGING MOOMOO LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

  93. Lovebird January 25, 2014

    Beyonce hasn’t even sold 100 million records, how did she inflate her numbers to 200 million records?

    @Molly,

    Nice list, I agree, those are some of her best.

  94. slay_hive January 25, 2014

    @Molly

    Cierror is whispering pitcy voice choreographer that’s always flopping, but yas honey we are very good girlfriends 😀

  95. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    Hive says I’m clinging to ancient sales when they’re clinging to DC’s ancient sales from the late 90s. Lol @ the irony.

  96. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    DEATHHHH @ THE STRUGGLE OF THE HOGIAH STAN USING HER PRE HIDTORIC SALES. I’M SORRY HUN BUT UR GONNA HAVE TO BRING IT BACK TO THE 2000S. THAT’S WHEN THE QUEEN DEBUTED. DURING HER REIGNING YEARS AND STILL REIGNING. SHE HAS MADE MOOMOO PACK ON 80 POUNDS AND LOOK LIKE FAT ASS RHINO. MOOOOOO WISH SHE CAN COMPETE WITH THE QUEEN THIS CENTURY BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. #I’M LUV BACON

  97. slay_hive January 25, 2014

    “@SlayHive, Rihanna has surpassed Beyoncé & DC in sales but not album but in overall RECORD sales…”

    BUT DC and Beyonce are still ahead in ACTUAL album sales. People would rather purchase their entire body of work rather than $1.29 singles.

    So like i said, saying Rihanna has sold more records is not saying much when she has released more albums and singles than Beyonce, and over 70% of those sales are from individual singles! BYE

  98. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 25, 2014

    Okay… I refuse to stay here and argue with these lesser Beytches. I have to go study for my exam on Monday. I’ll just leave you here to collect dust just like your fave’s albums. *Plays obsessed*

    **Exits post**
    **Exits TGJ**

  99. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    @Digger Bey…

    You betta drag my FAGGGY asss with those FALSE LIES ARTIFICIAL record sales you speak of..

    I gotta admit, your horrible typing skills mixed with your retarded brain makes for an entertaining drag fest.. Keep spreading those lies about Destinys Child selling 70+ million records LOLOLOL

  100. Mark111 January 25, 2014

    I wish she had of went through with the 3 discuss album. That’s why the album sounded so mixed up cause it was supposed to be a crunk, R&B and dance albums. Rihanna GAGA really put an end to hip hop R&B.

  101. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    @SlayHive, listen babe. I know Beyoncé is better than Rihanna im just having fun dragging RETARDED DIGGER F***… Don’t take it personal babe. Love You

  102. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    Hi, Mark!!

  103. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

I HOPE MOOOOO CAN AT LEAST SCRAPE OF 50K FIRST WEEK SALES WITH THE ART OF FLIP FLOPPING. I KNOW SHE’S READY TO RETIRE SINCE SHE HAS BEEN DRAGGED BY EVERYONE N THE GAME. POOR MOOOOO. #SHRUGS

  104. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    Digger Bey, you better drag Mariah Carey. LOL RETARDED HO..

  105. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    LMFAO @Stephy The F*ggy F*g……..YOU COULD ONLY DREAM OF DRAGGGING DIGGER BEY. IT CAN’T BEY DONE BOTTOM FEEDER F**. U STILL MAD THAT I HAVE PROVIDED TRUE FACTS! THEY MUST BEYTRUE SINCE THE QUEEN IS GETTING MORE PRAISE THAN MOOOOOOO HAS GOTTEN N THE LAST 25 YEARS. MOOOOOO IS NOT THE BEST ON ANYONE’S LIST C*NT. THE YEAR 2000 WAS THE YEAR THE QUEEN DEBUTED. WE CAN’T USE MOOOOO PRE HISTORIC SALES BECAUSE THE WASN’T OUT N THOSE YEARS. WE CAN ONLY USE THE 2000S. WHEN BOTH WERE PUTTING ALBUMS OUT. SO THE QUEEEEEN >>>>>>> MOOOOO

  106. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    Yasss Digger Bey… Drag my ass for filth…

  107. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    In other news: Beyoncé is featured on Barbra Streisand’s new duets album along with Lady Gaga.

    @Digger Bey they want to downplay her so bad with those outdated receipts. She is WAY over 75 million records as a solo artist. No inflation, just receipts. That is some Wikipedia mess they are going by.

    If it was inflated, I would have Beyonces album sales as they come up on Wikipedia. (DIL at 11 mill etc).

  121. Ummm..no January 25, 2014

    The cover art was criminally bad. The cover of your CD is vitally important. Hers was awful. The songs were okay/good.

  122. Tash January 25, 2014

    Unless you can produce more specific receipts instead of those VAGUE stats you post… Have several.

  123. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    @TASH… I got my receipts from Nielsen Soundscan Trackter Of PURCHASED NOT SHIPPED records from stores/downloads..

    Where did you get your receipts from? Some Beyoncé FAN PAGE website

  124. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    Also, Dreamgrls & Cadillac Records are NOT BEYONCEs albums

  125. Tash January 25, 2014

    @Stephy Mine are from Neison Soundscan SALES not shipments. Can you not read? If it was shipments, DIL would be at 11 million.

    But her record sales are in totality. Record sales do not just include album and singles sales. They include live DVDs, general DVDs and soundtracks. I have shown receipts from each country, Ive broken it down each format by format unless and you can do the same, BYE.

  126. Tash January 25, 2014

    They are also from IFPI (in brackets)

  127. Rosie January 25, 2014

    Dead at this post becoming a Beyoncé/Moo stan war.

    Once again the Z-Squad, sans Molly, are nowhere to be found in their fave’s own posts. The way they talk about heir fave like she’s so major you would expect them to be perched in here.

  134. Mark111 January 25, 2014

    The HIVE has reached an all time low. Are they really counting Jay, Gaga and soundtracks?! Even Rihanna doesn’t count her features as her sales. #1’s are different, but sales? Then Lil Wayne and Nicki are the highest selling artists this decade.

  135. Realest January 25, 2014

    Lol why does someone keep repeatedly posting a “lipped” performance of mariah as to say she can’t sing? 1.) when they stan for the most basic of basic manufactured acts in history who singing and “their name” dont go in the sentence and 2.) Mariah has a 5 times platinum ALL LIVE unplugged cd which vocally snatches LIFE and is a vocal standard ( see kelly price and melonie daniels in the back).. Stop talking as if you are half an expert of anything vocal when your fav LIPS “pour it up” yikes…

  136. Tash January 25, 2014

    I don’t understand how you can use a receipt that is only used to count American sales, as her WW receipt smh. I am DONE.

    @Mark111 really boo. Out all the receipts I posted you chose 3 little singles that will barely make a difference to OVERALL record sales.

    I just came to prove Beyoncé has sold over 100 million as a solo artist. Because someone stated she hasn’t.

  137. DIGGER BEY January 25, 2014

    AWW IS THE POOR F*G MAD BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. U WASN’T SAYING THAT YESTERDAY. WHEN UR F*GGOT SLOW ASS WAS LITERALLY LICKING MY NUTS. U CAN’T HAVE DADDY D*CK….SO KICK ROCKS F*G AND CONTINUE TO SEEEEEEEEEEETH LMAOOOOOOOOO

    Didn’t know this album existed tbh…

    And how tf are those stats lies when they’re similar to the ones you posted?

    “Beyoncé has only sold 14,354,162+ albums in America..”

    “United States — Total: 71,181,444
    x 14,352,162 * ALBUMS”

    As previously stated, Beyonce total solo records sale+ DC total total record sale= about 200 million .

  148. Stephy Tha Lambily January 25, 2014

    THANK YOU!

    Hi, My Forehead!

  149. Tash January 25, 2014

    @Stephy you didn’t offend me. My original comment was actually more directed towards another comment.

    All people want to do is ‘not believe’ without posting actual receipts to prove otherwise. In EACH country. So I posted receipts breaking it down.
