    Those are great figures, but I don’t think to will be #1 .. May be 2 OR 3 because frozen is still snatching

    • Kim Kardashian Stan April 16, 2014

      Such low standards but coming from a bey stan why am i not surprised.

      • metzo April 16, 2014

        his sales are pretty good considering that he’s a new artist and RnB. Any new RnB artist that can pull over 50K first week is good imo.

    All it takes is 50k to go number 1 these days omg.

  3. Sleazy April 16, 2014

    I have yet to hear one of his songs so that’s good

  4. Kim Kardashian Stan April 16, 2014

    Can’t wait for Ultraviolence to do these same numbers or worse.

    • Lana Del Slay April 16, 2014

      Just wait till Rosie gets here b****.

    • Rosie April 16, 2014

      That’s what you said about West Coast.

  5. lovebird April 16, 2014

    SCREAMMIIINNNGGGG!!!! I f****** called it.

    Let’s not sugar coat it. FLOP FLOP FLOP!!!

    • Kim Kardashian Stan April 16, 2014

      Ultraviolence will do the same.

      • Rosie April 16, 2014

        Once again, you said the same about West Coast.

  6. Kim Kardashian Stan April 16, 2014

    Jason Derulo is the true definition of singles artist .

  7. lovebird April 16, 2014

    @Mark111, was I spot on or what, I called it on FLOPgust, I called it on Jason Derulo LMAO.

    Meanwhile SexLijah remains unbothered as he prepares his groundbreaking debut.

    • Mark111 April 16, 2014

      Yes you were. AA doing on his first what some sell on their 5th album.

  8. BanjeeRiri April 16, 2014

    Looooooooooool! Ninjas walk around with the biggest egos and flop!

  9. JanetXone April 16, 2014

    Karma for what he did yesterday.

  10. Molly April 16, 2014

    Decent numbers lol lovebird is mad of course Elijah wont even do 20k when he releases a album.

    • UltraLana April 16, 2014

      I don’t know why you’re worried about Elijah when he can A. sing and B. has a career he can look forward to. What can Ciara do nowadays beside make babies for DeadBeatDadture and waste Epic’s money.

      • Molly April 16, 2014

        Who are you?

    • Molly April 16, 2014

      LMAO gurrrr

    • RICHIE_RICH April 16, 2014

      Rita looks good. Shade for days…..Rihanna threw shade too

    • rihanna is BIGGER THN BEYONCE EVER WAS April 16, 2014

      Yes, heuex, you know to turn your head when the QUEEN marches on!

  11. lovebird April 16, 2014

    SexLijah is going to do something Maxwell, Music soulchild and John Legend attempted but failed to do, and that is revolutionize RnB/Soyl music forever.

    He brings something new and fresh to the table. Bijoux 22 is an amazing masterpiece, FLOPgust will never.

    • Lana Del Slay April 16, 2014

      Yes sister, Elijah has a better voice and has better songs but his promo his weak and it’s pissing me off. My neighbor just put me onto Vendetta and it’s been slaying my body every day since. He’s got mad potential but needs to get out there more.

  12. AubreyOSlay April 16, 2014

    Elijah could outsell him but he needs to start promoting or he’ll flop too.

  13. Molly April 16, 2014

    All r&b acts

    sell between 50k to 80k first week so this ain’t a shocker

    • FantasiaSlayrino April 16, 2014

      Speak for yourself.

      • Molly April 16, 2014

        With the exception of Fantasia Alicia and Keyshia.

  14. lovebird April 16, 2014

    And not FLOPgust’s ex boo Trey opening with 100K+ on his previous album whilst FLOPgust sells LESS than Black panties, I can’t.

    • Molly April 16, 2014

      Oh your mad kiiii

    • ClassyMindz April 17, 2014

      You do know that Trey Songz debut album “I Gotta Make It” only sold 40K in it’s first week don’t you? Most new R&B artist debut albums always, debut lower than established artist. You come off like a ignorant hater.If you do your research, you’ll see that’s pretty normal for new acts. Did Trey Songz flop back in 2005 with only 40,000 albums being sold first week. No he didn’t. So what’s the difference?

  15. HistoRih April 16, 2014

    This is bad and can we stop comparing him to Elijah. I personally think Elijah has more potential than him because his music is more diverse BUT he’s not going to do any better than August as it stands because he’s only known on the blogs.

    • BreezyBoo April 16, 2014

      No lies were detected hunty, Elijah’ll need a good few months to promote if he wants to do 60k 2bh. He will slay but I need to see him in more places than this blog.

  16. Tremangelite April 16, 2014

    Ha ha. Guess he really is HALF of Trey.

    • lovebird April 16, 2014

      Gurl he’s going back to bottom for Trey. Trey may not want him back though, his body count is higher than Azealia Bank’s Twitter followers.

  17. lovebird April 16, 2014

    Gurl, y’all are sleeping on SexLijah, not when he’s coming to gather ALL your favs.

    Chris Brown who? Trey what? The whole world will be buzzing on Elijah because his music is amazing.

    Don’t believe me, listen to Bijoux 22 for yourself.

    • TurntUp4Cici April 16, 2014

      I hate yo ass but you ain’t lying, his music is dope as f***.

    • CommanderKaty April 16, 2014

      Which of his songs should I start with sis?

      • lovebird April 16, 2014

        I was listening to Vicky’s secret last night and I really like Birdz.

  18. lovebird April 16, 2014

    Once the promo train rolls in, your favs will be wishing they were his Air Jordan’s.

  19. MadameMonica April 16, 2014

    Let’s be realistic here girls, Elijah can sing and write August out of the water but do you really think he can sell 60k right now? He needs to start his promo like now if he ever wants to see that amount and I hope he does because I think I follow him on IG and he comes across really nice on there so I want to see him.

    August is a d***** bag but his music is good but right now he could out sell Elijah in his sleep.

  20. Sandra Songz April 16, 2014

    FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP.

  21. ShadyLaydee April 16, 2014

    The delusion is so authentic in this thread though like we can all agree that August is Elijah’s lessor but don’t get it twisted and think hell sell 10k if he put out his album tomorrow. He has a decent buzz on the underground circuit but that’s as far it goes which is lowkey annoying because his music is so good that my little brother recommended him to me.

  22. BarbzRUs April 16, 2014

    August would have sold more if he wasn’t such a D*** HEAD.

  23. Navy Commander(AUBRIH) April 16, 2014

    These predictions were probably made before he acted like a queen on 106. I say he’ll sell around 30k

    • Draggin4MrsCarter April 16, 2014

      What kind of accuracy?

    • CrazyKesha April 16, 2014

      So true.

  24. Breezy bby April 16, 2014

    Miguel numbers, not bad. At least he has an ALBUM and SINGLES unlike floplijah blake LMAO!!!!!

    • RyanSpears April 16, 2014

      How is Elijah a flop? He hasn’t put out music for people to buy and he has credibility. When he puts outs music that flops call him a flop then but now when everybody accepts that he’s super talented.

  25. JOHNVIDAL April 16, 2014

    Why is the Frozen soundtrack selling like this at this point? It shows people are desperate for musical events, cause the music in Frozen has nothing on the true great Disney films soundtracks like The lion King for example. Frozen is average.

  26. lovebird April 16, 2014

    Not when SexLijah can write better music than that pencil d*** criminal you Stan for.

  27. ROSEGOLD April 16, 2014

    I see LoveBored and his 1000000000 accounts are at it again lol. Get a life!!!

    These numbers are better than what I expected. Good for August. Elijah is a non-factor outside of this website. Sorry, not sorry.

    • Dance4Dawn April 16, 2014

      Not true babe, i just saw him live in the A and the venue was sold out.

      • ROSEGOLD April 16, 2014

        LOL yeah right. Which nightclub was this?

      • RICHIE_RICH April 16, 2014

        When was he in The A? I don’t recall him coming to the city……..

      • truth April 17, 2014

        He didnt…this h** lyn

  28. lovebird April 16, 2014

    How are those numbers decent when Black panties is doing 100K plus SCREAMS!!!!

    SexLijah is coming to gather whores, watch this space.

    • BeachhouseBritney April 16, 2014

      Sexlijah will gather when he GATHERS his promo.

    • ROSEGOLD April 16, 2014

      R. Kelly has a 25 year career.

  29. lovebird April 16, 2014

    Elijah has something FLOPgust doesn’t, major talent. Which male artist is more talented than Elijah right now? I’ll wait.

    • KatyKadet April 16, 2014

      OMFG! Where did you get this?

      • HausMuthaAdele April 16, 2014

        This is the first time I’ve heard him speak.

  30. OVODasher April 16, 2014

    Ha to the f****** ha ha! B**** ass n**** talk so much s*** but can’t SELL s***.

  31. KDreamer April 16, 2014

    Please don’t compare this hood rat to my fave.

    • AlexisAlsina April 16, 2014

      Your fave is a punk so stfu.

      • KDreamer April 16, 2014

        Miguel=Royalty.
        Alsina=Ratchet.

  32. coolness April 16, 2014

    Decent numbers. But damn, the industry is in ruins…

  33. Rosie April 16, 2014

    Dead at the K** stan still saying Lana will flop. That’s what at least half of the regular posters on here said about her new single, and where is it now? #1 in 20 countries on iTunes and STILL #2 after three days (only thing blocking it is Pharrell), and that’s all with a alternative psychedelic rock song. Not to mention the already millions of views just for the audio on VEVO. Worry about K** slowly becoming Kendall Jenner’s lesser within the next few months.

    On topic, I just found out who this is yesterday, and that’s way more than I expected.

    • Rosie April 16, 2014

      I meant #2 in the US. Already lasting longer than any pop girls singles there except for Roar.

    • The truth hurts April 16, 2014

      Not to mention that the radio is too scared to play it. Last time I checked its AI in the US was 0.016M and since Lana’s on tour she’ll probably do no television promo.
      Apparently the video is coming out next week so hopefully that will boost sales.

  34. NICKI IS QUEEN OTHER B****** TAKE A SEAT April 16, 2014

    THATS RIGHT FLOP!

    • truth April 17, 2014

      The real kii is Icki wont even do that. Kiiiiiiii

  35. number1k9 April 16, 2014

    How is ‘Frozen’ STILL selling that much as an OST! That is crazy!

    I think that it is absolutely SAD at Jason DeRulo’s numbers. He has done SO much promo and has a hit single. Wow. I predicted these low sales tho.

    • ROSEGOLD April 16, 2014

      Jason has no identity as an artist so no one takes him seriously. He’s actually not a bad singer. I think he’ll have a shot if he releases the duet with Jordin….

  36. Mark111 April 16, 2014

    People need to give Rihanna credit. She sells singles and albums while others either one or the other. Most of the aritst in the top 40 can’t even pass 400K. PitBull and FloRida always has a top 10 hit, but they’re albums don’t even reach gold, yet still get money off singles. I’m afraid Jason is right along with them. And we have Beyonce that can’t get a #1 hit to save her life. But my point is, Rihanna and Katy aren’t JUST a singles artist.

    • RICHIE_RICH April 16, 2014

      Rihanna is a single artist hun deal.

      You people are just stupid

      Rihanna don’t have $hit to do with this post.

      • Skyfall April 16, 2014

        How is she a singles artist when all her albums open with at least 200k and goes platinum and sells 3-4 million consistently, I mean the fact that she always has a #1 her album sales are basic but she’s far superior to the true singles artist like Flo Rida, Jason durelo, and pit bull. They all get top 10s and #1s with ease yet sell 30k or less first week.

    • Vee April 16, 2014

      What does this post have to do with Rihanna and Beyonce and Katy?

    • truth April 17, 2014

      B**** u just stupid. How many number 1s do U hav u h**?. Rhi is a singles s**** DEAL!

  37. Mark111 April 16, 2014

    And August should really milk that Songz beef. Cause when Trey album drop, guess what he’s gonna talk about? Yo ass.

  38. Skyfall April 16, 2014

    I smell something fishy going on with this frozen album!! I mean literally no one talks about this album, movie or songs but it’s selling over 200k after 5 months. I guess cause all of the music that’s been released lately is a hot ass mess

    • FutureCIARA April 17, 2014

      It has a huge audience babe…. Its safe music that parents feel like they can purchase for their kids, instead of Slutty music from the likes of Miley, Gags, and Bey

      • truth April 17, 2014

        And Rhi and that 57k B**** u stan for…u h**

  39. Skyfall April 16, 2014

    Adele & Rihanna need to hurry up and release music we need them.

  40. Danny b April 16, 2014

    Gawd I’m so over Frozen.

  41. TC!! April 16, 2014

    relax johnvidal lion king is still supreme it was in the 90s of course its better!! but frozen is cool, it just shows that music today is really crap and we have to turn to disney show tunes to give us some type of life. But frozen is going to be the best selling album this year there’s no denying that its been #1 since January!

  42. gotta put ya ass in check April 16, 2014

    Rihanna’s ” Music Of The FLOP” Sold 50k in The First Week Tho!

    • Navy Commander April 17, 2014

      Isure did sis. But something you don’t understand is longevity 7 years later she is opening with 4 that

      • gotta put ya ass in check April 17, 2014

        The point is…Low First debut sales doesnt determine anything! 7 years later, he could be jus as big as rihanna

    • ClassyMindz April 17, 2014

      Exactly somebody with some common sense! You have a lot of disgruntled haters in here, praying on someone’s downfall. How sad! It took Trey Songz 3 albums before he caught on. His debut album only sold 40,000 in its first week. Keyshia Cole as well as plenty of other artist sold much under 100k on their debut album. But it was still considered a success, cause they were new artist. Established artist always sell better than new artist. People act like they forgot that. Either their ignorant to the fact or just haters!

  43. FutureCIARA April 17, 2014

    He’ll do less than those numbers for acting like a pressed bottom on 106 and cursing at that girl….

    The reviews are going to dragg his album to filth….

    In more important news… FUTURE releases his sophomore album HONEST on 4/22!!
