Chart Check: Jennifer Lopez’s ‘AKA’ Opens With 33,000 Units

Published: Tuesday 24th Jun 2014 by David

Much like ‘Material Girl’ Madonna, recent years have seen Pop icon Jennifer Lopez use albums as a vehicle to launch bank account busting world tours, seemingly unbothered by the “modest” numbers pulled in by said albums.

Alas, when one considers the time, money and planning that goes into completing an album, one wonders just how unbothered the superstar will be when she learns of her new LP’s ‘AKA‘ first week digits today.

What they were?

Find out below…

Debuting at #6 on the ‘Billboard 200′, the Urban-kissed ‘AKA‘ opened with 33,815 units this week, placed five spots beneath Lana Del Rey’s ‘Ultraviolence’ which came in at #1 with 181,622 copies sold.

Doing so without the benefit of an ‘On the Floor‘- sized lead single, ‘AKA‘s opening numbers come three years after 2011’s ‘Love?‘ opened with 83,100 units, and 13 years after her sophomore set ‘J.Lo’ claimed the #1 spot with the help of 272,300 music lovers.

Quite interestingly, while marking a commercial low for the entertainer, the album received a rating of 78/100 from ‘Billboard‘, while nabbing a ‘D‘ from ‘Entertainment Weekly.’

On lower ground, Mary J.Blige’s ‘Think Like a Man Too’ soundtrack opens with 8,181 copies moved while Mariah Carey‘s, ‘Me.I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’ spends this week at #42, after shifting 5,699 units.

    Only this sluut like openin up is her legs.

  3. Skyfall June 24, 2014

    Yass Lana better f****** slay. Glad she’s finally getting her recognition. I can’t wait until my other favs Adele & Rihanna drop their albums.

  4. The truth hurts June 24, 2014

    180k for lana? But I thought she would never get a #1 or sell over 100k. Screaming at everyone who thought this would flop!

  5. Skyfall June 24, 2014

    Lana has already outsold Iggys worldwide #s while Mariah is catching up (155,000WW) even tho iggy is currently #1 and 2 on the charts…. Interesting.

    • Adrian June 24, 2014

      Fancy and Problem are kids songs. I enjoy them and purchased them when they came out but my nieces and nephews & their friends (ages 5-10) seem to be the only ppl hype about it. Especially when the rest of Iggy’s album is more dark and not mainstream the POP crowd is not about to dish out coins for that.

  6. A.K.A more like D.O.A. June 24, 2014

    Dead On Arrival ! Call her a flop like you did Mariah and Christina you boased piece of $hit!!!

  7. Jane June 24, 2014

    I don’t want to compare posts, but this post is nowhere near as shady as Mariah Carey’s post on abysmal numbers. JLo promoted the s*** out of this album, there wasn’t one place she didn’t attend promoting her latest album.

    • mekaela June 25, 2014

      Not even the world cup performance
      Could help her she needs to stop this
      Foolishness no one wants to see grandma
      Singing I love u papi really j lo
      You and Madonna Mariah need to grow up
      Kids are not listening to you guys
      these days all these Spanish people
      Inquisition could not save j lo album

  8. There once was a pimp and his h**…. June 24, 2014

    Bawahahaha!!!! This has got to be one of the biggest flops in music history from a mainstream artist. From now on I shall only refer to her as 33K.

    #I’m done

    • Molly June 24, 2014

      J.h** had so much promo and couldn’t even do 40k?

  9. Molly June 24, 2014

    Icon my ass… pathetic sales for someone who is supposed to be a pop icon..

  10. A.K.A more like D.O.A. June 24, 2014

    Yes a D is all the album deserved. Her song sound like $hit Rihanna rejected!!

  11. Lovebird June 24, 2014

    FLOP….33KA couldn’t even sell more copies than Basic Instinct. Hang it up Mzzz Lopez.

  12. Molly June 24, 2014

    Congratulations Lana im shocked you did that.

    • P**** Juice Lover June 24, 2014

      Hey babe . How’s it going?

        Doing ok & yourself?

      • P**** Juice Lover June 24, 2014

        Im good.. gettin ready for my prom 🙂

  13. ozzy June 24, 2014

    DEATH at the bias. P**** b****** at TGJ can’t face the facts!! Not you shading Mariah when this b**** sold 33K.

  14. SipTheTruth June 24, 2014

    For someone who’s not an album seller it wasn’t that bad,
    but a little disappointing with the heavy promo
    Sales might pick up if ‘booty’ is a hit.

  15. Adrian June 24, 2014

    Of course there were no long essays about how she needs to plot a comeback and constant tweets about what she should do. Just admit you guys hate Mariah. I love J Lo but it’s just interesting how kind this article was when ULTIMATE shade is constantly thrown at MC.

    On another note J.Lo hasn’t sold big numbers ever so this isn’t that shocking. That 200k in 2001 is not that impressive bc ppl were opening with 500k-800k then so this constrast now is not that different. & I had no idea that MJB was singing the entire Think Like. A Man Too soundtrack. I never heard one of her songs in the movie.

    • A.K.A more like D.O.A. June 24, 2014

      J-No’s biggest selling album was when she stole songs, samples and concepts from Mariah Carey’s album Glitter.

      • Adrian June 24, 2014

        No lies detected. It really irked me when J Lo didn’t at least tru to acknowledge that there was more to the story than people know. She sat there on Watch What Happens Live and pretended as if Mariah started disliking her out of nowhere. I still love JLo but I was a bit salty about that. Lucky for her nobody watches that show

      • FAF June 24, 2014

        Y’all are so mad at jlo and idk why u
        Should be mad @ tommy

    • Brian310 June 24, 2014

      Album 1st week sales actually weren’t that big back then albums were able to not have high 1st week sales and still reach multi platinum status due to consistent sales.

  16. P**** Juice Lover June 24, 2014

    Thats sad. Her album is good tho, way better than her last efforts. A shame.

      try being nice to mariah and christina who you love to blast as being flops. more proof that it’s media darlings who get the praise no matter how basic and floppish their projects turn out to be.

  23. MDNA June 24, 2014

    HAHAHAAAAHA. Now, let’s wait for Adele and Rihanna #’s.. BEYONCE remains the best selling female album of 2013/2014 with little to NO Promo! That’s impact right there!. 2 Million in the US. And ~ 3.5 WW.

    You know you’re a queen when you just drop an Album out of nowhere, go to vacations n act like you dont have an album out, N still be the best selling female album of the past 2 years!!

    • OMG Logic! June 24, 2014

      Not at you pretending Thunder Thighs hadn’t been on tour for an entire year constantly “leaking” songs for the public to stay on her. She didn’t promote an album, but she was always on the news and in people’s faces.

      • Rellis June 24, 2014

        LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE DIDN’T LEAK A DAMN THING BEFORE RELEASE. #BOWDOWN

    • Shades of Cool June 25, 2014

      Best selling female album in the last two years? Born to Die, The Truth About Love and multiple other female releases disagree. Taylor’s last album outsold Beyonce in the US alone.

    Ashanti did zilch and had 0294762935 push-backs and she did almost that figure.

  26. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) June 24, 2014

    What I’m not here for are Stans of flops looking for company. They are so thirsty to see someone sell less than or as much as their fave. It’s basic & tired, #next

  29. Stephy June 24, 2014

    I just LOVE how TGJ swerve this article to make J HO”S numbers sound impressive by saying…
    .
    “Much like ‘Material Girl’ Madonna, recent years have seen Pop icon Jennifer Lopez use albums as a vehicle to launch bank account busting world tours, seemingly unbothered by the “modest” numbers pulled in by said albums.”

    GIRL BYE! Why in the hell are yall comparing J Ho too THE QUEEN OF POP MADONNA! Lol, that woman has already sold 300,000,000+ records & is worth almost 1 billion $s. MADONNA CAN FLOP ALL SHE WANTS TOO…
    .
    As, for J Ho her tours are not her REAL income! In fact, her entire “Music” (if thats what you wanna call it) WAS NEVER her REAL income! Her income COMES from 34523452345234534 endorsement deals! Hint: MODEL WITH A MIC! She is only famous cause she is beautiful END OF STRY! FLOP!

    • Absolved June 25, 2014

      Beyonce has well outsold Unapologetic in the place that truly counts: the U.S., where the former is closing in on 2 million in sales while the latter is still stick at 1.1! LOL

      Rihanna is supposed to be thee “it” girl, but she barely scans a million in the world’s biggest music market and after almost 2 years her terrible album still hasn’t moved. Yet ANOTHER Rihanna album that WON’T see a RIAA multiplatinum certification.

  31. P**** Juice Lover June 24, 2014

    Adele rihanna and taylor better hurry dafaq up & save the music industry from those pathetic and pitful numbers.

  32. GaGa’s Tampon June 24, 2014

    I guess Lana Stan’s will stop calling ARTPOP a flop I mean really now 181K that’s a tad underwhelming especially for someone that has gained popularity over the past years

    • Jamie June 24, 2014

      They can never call artpop a flop when it sold 70k more than ultraboring.

      • Skyfall June 24, 2014

        But gaga had waaay more promo than Lana. She performed on major award shows and had all those commercials playing her music, and still hasn’t sold 1 mil in the US

    • The truth hurts June 24, 2014

      Gaga’s opening week sales quarterd from btw whereas Lana’s more then doubled from BTD. Also gaga had an 82% drop in sales in her second week and Artpop is currently now being outsold by BTD and will never go platinum. It’s at 710k ATM and is only selling like 1-2k a week.

  33. Minaj21 June 24, 2014

    With billboard icon award and American idol? J-lo fix ya career girl. This is a fxcking mess.

  34. Skyfall June 24, 2014

    Everyone in the top 3 sold over 100k which is a good thing. I really want sales to go up like they were back in 2005. I believe sales are so low because music now is just simply tasteless and generic. Look at the top ten for instance. No one seems to care about a body of work only quick little singles. No one is going to buy an album full of crappy repetice pop songs. This is why I feel like Adele sold so well and why frozen has been selling well because the music is of amazing quality and the entire album is amazing and wasn’t built for the charts. Even Lanas album BTD which had literally almost no hits is still selling after 2 years because it is an amazing album with great production and lyrical taste, and it’s on the verge to outsell Teenage Dream if it hasn’t already. I think artist could still sell 10,000,000 albums ww or more if they took the time release quality music they pleases everyone from the lil kids to the golden agers.

    • coolness June 24, 2014

      This!!! Great post! The truth is, these older artists, 30 and above are tasked with the dilemma of having to promote a good majority of their work online when their audience may not have access or know how to use such means. Not to mention, all these annoying stan wars need to just end. They’re hurting sales more than we give it credit for.

  35. Jamie June 24, 2014

    Embarrassing & Sad… and yall wanted to say Artpop flopped? hell even Britney jean looks like a success compared to this.

JLO and Mariah have platinum/diamond albums under their belts. Their both worth well over 200 million and are among some of the most successful women in the Entertainment industry.

  42. S****** Blonde June 24, 2014

    Up the Hipsters!, almost 200k, well done guys, i’m sad for Linkin Park tho, lowest sales to them, the album is a return to form, it’s the heaviest since Hybrid Theory. On J.Lo, that’s unfortunate, she should release ‘Booty’, there’s no way a hit single could save the album, it’s too late for that but she could have a huge selling single like ‘On the Floor’, it’s impressive how Lana is getting all this success with no radio support or a great team behind her, it’s time for a revolution of good music. Another thing is that Lana getting her first #1 album should be main topic instead of J.Lo flopping, it got to show that fans and medias care more about sales than the music itself, this is Lana’s moment and should be celebrated.

Go clean your crusty smega coated d****, bittch. I hate you S****** more than anyone on this blog.

  43. Lovebird June 24, 2014

    I’m waiting for Lana fans to regurgitate the “Artpop is a flop” mess they were running around with last year.

    • The truth hurts June 24, 2014

      Artpop is a flop though. Her opening week quartered from btw and in its second week artpop had one of the biggest drops ever (82%). It’s all made worse by the fact that gaga had massive amounts of promo and airplay. Artpop is currently sitting at 710k and won’t go platinum for a VERY long time (if ever) since it is selling about 1-2k a week now.
      Compare that to lana who has more than doubled her first week opening with BTD despite having no airplay and doing no promo whatsoever last week. And very little at all over the past few months. No tv performances or interviews.

      • LOL June 24, 2014

        LOL BYTCH SIT.

        LANA DEL NOBODY SOLD LESS THAN ARTPOP. THE END.

        COME BACK AFTER ULTRAFLOPENCE TAKES 5 YEARS TO GO GOLD LOL

  49. GaGa’s Tampon June 24, 2014

    My heart aches for JLO though 🙁
    She went all over the place with AKA

  50. Navy Nick June 24, 2014

    It does not matter…these days album sales are up & down. It is all about the newcomers really….Best move beyonce did was surprise it, it made it sell more (I LOVE BEYONCE), but I dont think she would have sold that much if she didnt surprise it..BUT WHO CARES, these women put on AMAZING LIVE PERFORMANCES & WILL CONTINUE to put out music all year round…now Mariah…IDK what to say, and Madonna wont do good either, if she drops 1…ADELE will be smart & surpise us, Nicki should too!!

    • Teacher June 24, 2014

      You know it, she knew it, and the rest of her tired ass stans know that if she had went the “traditional” way of releasing she would’ve been struggling earlier on like she’s doin now!

  51. Vee June 24, 2014

    Whattt??? Say what now?? People that’s supposed to be “Icons” and “Legends” can’t even do 100k first week nowadays with tons of promo.


    Beyonce did 617k in 3 fuckking days!!! U hear me 617k in THREE days!!. I’m sorry, but y’all gotta Give Beyonce some MUTHA FUCKINGG REAPWCT UP IN HERE!!! Keep in mind that she’s the ONLY female from the 90’s that can even scan platinum in the U.s let alone x2 platinum. IDGAF what y’all say but Beyonce is the top b**** in the Game right now!!! U don’t even have to be a fan, to consider that! Damnnn . JLo this is embarassing…

    • Slaylor Swift June 24, 2014

      girl shut up.

      Red sold 1.2 million in a week .

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) June 24, 2014

      Death @ you putting the words legends and icons in quotations! Mariah is a legend and icon seeing her impact on these girls, including the one you said sold 617k in 3 days. No one sells albums forever. JLO is an iconic figure & Mariah is a music icon as well. You tried though. However, you failed miserably. \_

      • Applause June 24, 2014

        Lol read her delusional ass Beyonce can’t even do born this way numbers .

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) June 24, 2014

        Death @ “supposed”. The reach though. That damn reach. *yawns*

    • GaGa’s Tampon June 24, 2014

      Beyonce is in her prime that’s what is expected from her
      But after ten years or so she won’t be selling the way she is now

      • Applause June 24, 2014

        exactly.

      • XXX June 24, 2014

        Beyonce is not in her prime. She has been in the game 17 years. Unlike Gaga.

      • GaGa’s Tampon June 25, 2014

        Excluding the years she was a destinys child member
        I’m talking about her solo career ALONE

    • Minaj21 June 24, 2014

      I totally agree with u

    • Rima June 24, 2014

      dude stfu no one cares Beyonce is overrated

  52. Lovebird June 24, 2014

    “I dont really like lanas new album but i must admit that her sales are quite impresive for an ambim without a hit and an alternative indie funeral-ish style.”

    I am not accepting any of these excuses, a Lana fan told me Lana is an album seller”; I am waiting for them to justify that statement.

    I a also waiting for them to justify how Artpop is a FLOP. They ran with it last year.

    • P**** Juice Lover June 24, 2014

      Im just sayin her numbers are not that but for an indie album with no hits. But i agree she aint no album seller cuz if so the sales should have been wayyy highr..

    • Rosie June 24, 2014

      Do you want me to pull up the essay-long list of promo Artpop had?

      • LOL June 24, 2014

        LOL DOESN’T MATTER. LANA DEL WHO IS SHE STILL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OUTSELL HER. NOW PASS LANA THE MOP LOL

  53. Vee June 24, 2014

    RESPECT*

  54. P**** Juice Lover June 24, 2014

    Ok jlo was NEVER an album seller so thats not that shocking. But the real kii is that a so called ‘album seller’ just sold 8k!! I repeat, 8mothafuckin k !!!!!!! Carly rae jepsen teas

    • Stephy June 24, 2014

      Who the f*** is that? And im not being shady!

      • P**** Juice Lover June 24, 2014

        Lol that ho who sings call me maybe

    • Huh? June 24, 2014

      Yeah but those same flop 8K numbers put her on course to do something, you said wasn’t possible for her, which is outsell “Unapologetic”..Which it already has…
      Denial is a serious condition,that picture slays though! Riri is so beautiful!

  55. Minaj21 June 24, 2014

    Well I guess tgj is not gonna be calling Mariah a flop from now on.

  56. Stephy June 24, 2014

    Jennifer Lopez is a nice woman tho! And she is worth about 300+ million so she will be fine! Im just SHOCKED by the bias ways of this site. WOW!

  57. GaGa’s Tampon June 24, 2014

    I bet they are gonna delete this post once the dust settles down

  58. Lovebird June 24, 2014

    I only came back to see what Lana fans have to say for themselves….oh and to laugh at 33KA.

    I cannot recognize all the people here, there’s too much egg on their faces.

  59. Wolf Pu*sy June 24, 2014

    Id take her flops over Hogzillriah anyday…

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) June 24, 2014

      Why do you have that awful picture of the Queen herself, Miss Whitney Houston as your gravatar. That’s very disrespectful. Also, “Hofzillriah” is the best selling female of the Soundscan era. Again, the best selling female of the Soundscan era! That’s right BXTCH! She outsold every female since 1991! BYE!

  60. Applause June 24, 2014

    DEATH!!!!!!!! Thats the best botox flop rey could do? is this album gonna fall off the charts next week like west coast did? kiiiii wheres hoesie & her troll accounts? Lmao

    • Drea *pretty hurts* June 24, 2014

      Just remember, she did those numbers without a “hit single”, promotion or a $25m budget. I’m not a fan, I’m just saying. 😉

  61. Skyfall June 24, 2014

    We need Music TV shows MTV instead of their tired reality s***.

    MTV Unplugged
    Top of the Pops
    TRl
    Plus these artist need to quit relying on social media to sell. Lots of people don’t know these artist even have albums out because they only promote their singles and never talk about their albums.

    • Drea *pretty hurts* June 24, 2014

      Won’t happen especially if YouTube is around. The internet is the best way to promote yourself. You just have to know HOW.

      • Skyfall June 24, 2014

        I get what you’re saying but a lot of older people don’t stay on the internet blogs or YouTube & twitter so that’s why we need more TV shows so that way they’ll reach a broader audience and maybe sales will be better hopefully as the t*** crowd isn’t reliable anymore because they flip flop and actually believe it or not seems to only care about older music. Only kids really listen to the bs that are now topping the charts

    • Stephy June 24, 2014

      I AGREE! We need more TRL’s & Music shows! WTF happended to that! All they show is 16 & Pregnant… Or T*** Ho’s! Ugh!

      • GaGa’s Tampon June 24, 2014

        That MTV is never coming back 🙁

      • Drea *pretty hurts* June 24, 2014

        Those shows are soooo 1999/2000. 106 and Park is hanging by a thread also. I don’t even think it’s 90 minutes long anymore. Everything is digital now. YouTube is KING and that’s how kids these days watch music videos. I’d rather do the same myself. No pointless rambling or commercials. 😀

  62. Skyfall June 24, 2014

    @Lovebird

    I wouldn’t say Lana is an album seller but a moderate seller, she sells slow but steady which would explain why BTD is still on the charts after 2 years and is about to outsell TD with its rerelease and payola #1s.

  63. P**** Juice Lover June 24, 2014

    #8k

  64. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) June 24, 2014

    What does this even have to do with Beyonce’s ass anyway. Like GTFOH…

    • P**** Juice Lover June 24, 2014

      U talkin to me?

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) June 24, 2014

        Lol no, that “VEE” person bragging about those sales like they have anything to do with the post. Lol

      • P**** Juice Lover June 24, 2014

        Oh ok 🙂

      • Rima June 24, 2014

        Pee is so annoying trying to make everything about Beyonce when he should be helping pretty hurts see the light of day on the hot 100.

  65. Skyfall June 24, 2014

    People say “oh it’s the digital age” but why fix something if it ain’t broken. When MTV stopped playing music and people start relying in twitter and YouTube to promote their music is when everything fell. Sales where fine up until 2009.

    • Drea *pretty hurts* June 24, 2014

      Wasn’t TRL canceled in 07/08 because of low ratings? I graduated from high school in 2008 and no one watched TRL lol. They played music videos for 5 seconds! No one wanted to watch that. Music stopped selling when the rules changed and music became readily available for free online. A lot of factors played in the demise of sales, but music shows weren’t a big percentage imo.

      • Skyfall June 24, 2014

        True, labels need to find a way to make people but albums instead of illegally downloaded them idk maybe making people go out and buy a physical copy then release it digitally later.

  66. Rima June 24, 2014

    Stop bringing up Beyonce she’s doing ok but stalling at 3 million like everyone else… Lanas numbers are basic and J.lows are so embarrassing.

    • melly June 24, 2014

      BTD selling 7 mil worldwide is basic? Not in this day and age babe

  67. Proud-Arianator June 24, 2014

    @Slayriah
    Why you mad Hun? Did I hit a nerve? You mad at the fact that Mariah is struggling to sell that mess of an album? You mad at the fact that nobody cares about her today hence why nobody is buying that elusive Flopteuse trash
    Cowriah is nothing but a fat washed up Mammoth it’s time for her to retire and take care of her 3 kids and let others take over the throne especially since her fat a s s struggles to fit on it

  68. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) June 24, 2014

    Where did the Copyana fan go? Why did you disappear boo? DEATHH @ COPYana PASTEde not having a #1 single & she’s already in her second era. The struggle for this chick. She needs to go back to Nickelodeon with with Victoria Justice where she belongs! Selena, Miley, Demi >>>> Flopiana

You’re worried about Mariah while Ariana’s album is certified nowhere. Maybe tell your mommy to buy you some more iTunes gift card to purchase more copies if problem to at least get her ass #1 somewhere?

  70. P**** Juice Lover June 24, 2014

    LMAOOOOOOOO this Ariana stans bark is bigger than her bite. Your fav is a knock off wannabe of Mariah you dumb s****. Call me when that bitchh gets 18 MOTHERFUCKINGG No.1 singles and atleast 1 DIAMOND album you pubescent mess of a flop. BYEEE

    • Proud-Arianator June 24, 2014

      Diamond album? Like Rihanna right?

      • Stephy June 24, 2014

        Rihanna don’t need a DIAMOND album cause she is the best selling DIGITAL artist of all time! WTF does Ariana Flopde have? A Gold Alu.. Oh wait!

    • ozzy June 24, 2014

      B****, don’t come for Rihanna when your fave can’t go gold LMAOOOOO. Come back when you get a no.1 hit boo.

  76. Skyfall June 24, 2014

    If Adele can sell 32,000,000 and get a diamond album or if Beyonce can get a 2x plat album or if Taylor can sell over 1mill first week and sell 4-5 million in the US alone than the excuses are over.

    Adele music was soulful although still very radio and pop friendly. Which appealed to many and she Slayed WW even though some artist had more #1s on their albums this shows people prefer quality or quantity.

    Beyonce well idk how much she would of sold without her stunt but she still manage to sell 2x play in the us even she flopped WW I will say that if she did half the promo jlo did she would of sold at least 5M buy now.

    Taylor release good quality music aside from her generic poppy lead singles. Red only had 1 song to top the charts and it has sold 4 million in the states alone.

    JT Bruno are also examples of how quality music and talent will always prevail.

    • Teacher June 24, 2014

      Beyonce was on Tour on Europe then in the Us then back to Europe again…. That’s PROMO!! So what Other promo could she have done that would help cuz ppl have already seen the cheap videos AND ALL the singles FLOPPED!

  77. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) June 24, 2014

    Photoshop is your comeback? Lol Mariah is wealthy enough to buy Ariana’s life or even end it & ad her struggling ass career altogether. You’re boring.

    • Skyfall June 24, 2014

      By 2014, the album had sold over 28 million copies worldwide according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. It shipped 32million.

  80. Rosie June 24, 2014

    Hi everyone.
    D E A T H at Ultraviolence being the highest female first week of the year and one of the highest overall. But I thought she was a flop? I thought she was a nobody? I thought she was irrelevant? I thought no one in the States used her? I thought Lorde ended her career? Congrats queen.

    • ozzy June 24, 2014

      No shade Rosie and congrats to Lana but 181K isn’t some Queen s***. Less than artpop and Bangerz SMH. But she’s cute I guess…

      • Rosie June 24, 2014

        Artpop and Bangerz had more promo in the US than Lana has done worldwide for this era. Not to mention they both had top 5 hits and tons of airplay and VEVO streams. 70K difference with all the promo Artpop had is nothing to brag about, really. It’s hilarious to see these bottoms do so.

    • The truth hurts June 24, 2014

      It’s hilarious seeing all the little morons seethe after they bandwagoned Sam smith because he was up against lana.

      • Rosie June 24, 2014

        I can’t at them clinging to a 70K difference after all that promo and during the biggest quarter, let alone month, for sales all year. Not to mention Artpop was available for preorder for three months.
        Lana needs to release Brooklyn Baby as the next worldwide single and she’ll be well past two million in a few months.

  81. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) June 24, 2014

  85. There once was a pimp and his h**…. June 24, 2014

    Absolute death! Are Flopiana stans really trying to read anyone? How is it that your fave hasn’t even gone platinum yet? Hell, I don’t even think the b**** has even gone gold yet. This b**** has had several advantages such as coming from Nicklelodeon with a large gullible fan base yet still couldn’t do something as simple as sell a million copies in one year. I would be embarrassed to stan for someone so basic.

    During its first day of release in the United States, Beyoncé sold 80,000 digital copies in its first three hours with NO PROMO.

  88. Diabetes UNBOTHERED June 24, 2014

    During its first day of release in the United States, Beyoncé sold a total of 430,000 digital copies within 24 hours.

  89. Diabetes UNBOTHERED June 24, 2014

    In its second day, the album sold 120,000 digital copies, which brought its two-day sales total to 550,000

  90. Diabetes UNBOTHERED June 24, 2014

    Billboard predicted it to sell around 600,000 digital copies by the end of the tracking week on December 15, 2013.[100] Beyoncé debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with three-day sales of 617,213 digital copies.

  91. Diabetes UNBOTHERED June 24, 2014

    This gave Beyoncé her fifth consecutive number-one album, making her the first female artist to have her first five studio albums debut atop the chart. It also became the largest debut sales week for a female artist of the year.

    The JLO album was good. Younger kids don’t like that “in your face sexuality” of her and Mariah in those skimpy outfits on the cover. If JLo had a tasteful and beautiful portrait on the cover instead of that weird Versace outfit, she would’ve sold a lot more. The music is good pop music.

Her prime was during the B’day Era.

    The delusion. The inaccuracy. The guts of this site thinking it’s readers are dumb. Putting JLo and Maddonna in reference to tours? JLo has had only two tours grossing 10 and 52 million dollars respectively. The nerve of this site to compare that to Madonna and say album sales don’t count when it comes to JLo is appalling but you turn around and bash other artists who are way more successful than she will ever be?

    JENNIFER IS LIKE MADONNA OR JANET, THESE LADIES CAN’T BE #1 ALL HER LIFE. END OF DISCUSSION…
    JENNY A FLOP?? NO !!… SHE SLAY THE STAGE. SHE IS A TRUE PERFORMER.
    RIHANNA, KATY PERRY, MILEY , BIEBER, ETC.. ALL THESE B****** CAN SELL A LOT BUT THEY ARE A MESS IN THE STAGE, THAT’S WHAT I CALL A “FLOP ARTIST”

    STAY PRESSED B”TCHES JENNY CAN’T SELL BUT I CAN BET SHE IS BETTER ENTERTAINER THAN ALL YOUR FAVORITES LIKE RIHANNA OR THE COWRIAH… AT LEAST JENNY CAN DANCE AT HER 44 , WHO COULD DO IT?

  107. Good #s for Jlo! June 25, 2014

    33,000k for AkA is good without a hot 100 hit!
    Jlo still has the people, the music is just not best.
    She is not a musician, but still she has fans.

    don’t expect me to shade her because of her sales, she remains a great performer, most of your favorites would never be that great on stage, not matter how much they sell.
