Here’s hoping Jessie J has room for a new Gold plaque, for that’s just what she’s set to receive thanks to US fans who purchased her brand new single ‘Bang Bang.’
Serving the song alongside Ariana Grande and ‘Anaconda’ rapper Nicki Minaj, ‘Bang’ has now sold enough units in the US to be certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America!
Since it touched down in support of the Brit’s LP ‘Sweet Talker’, the bop has sold 502,000 units as of August 20th, marking the second single by Minaj to reach the half a million milestone in the last month, following ‘The Pink Print‘-pulled ‘Pills n Potions.’
Will it be enough to steer ‘Talker’ away from Flopsville?
Jessie jj

Why so mean towards ariana? They both sang their faces off on the awards
Slay a bit Nicki. Two gold singles before the album drops? Slay.
YAAAS and anaconda is #2 on bb
Two top tens at the same time
Yasss Nicki, you are slaying this era. I’m loving all three of these young ladies. #talented
YASS slay b******!
That’s wassup the song actually grew on me, Congratulations to Ariana & Jessie. 🙂
Tragic mulatto. I get it, you suffer from identity issues. No need to take it out on the blogs and celebrities. Kii
Gratz to all three women.
Meanwhile…Nicki’s Anaconda slithers its way to No 2 on the Hot 100!!!!
Congratulations are likewise in order for Republic Records, which is promoting “Shake” to pop and adult radio. With Swift’s hit at No. 1 and Minaj’s “Anaconda” at No. 2, Republic claims the Hot 100’s top two ranks simultaneously for the first time in its history.
Slay Nicki!!!
Oh and here’s my receipts http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6229439/taylor-swift-shake-it-off-no-1-hot-100-nicki-minaj-anaconda
Slay Nicki. But I thought folks said that Anaconda was a flop? Lmao
Oh yes they did, and they said it won’t make top 20. Well it slithered right past it. Hhahaha!!
Yesssss hope it goes #1 and has longevity nows the hard part
Its gonna reach number 1, its a huge single. Men love it, women love it and even the skinny b****** love it lol. I’m gifting it on iTunes to 2 friends this week.
It’ll be hard for her to reach #1 with Taylor having the sucess she has but it would be cool to see.
TALYOR SWIFT IS NUMBER ONE!!!! I LOVE SHAKE IT OFF! SLAY ME TAYLOR!
“Anaconda” is Minaj’s 11th Hot 100 top 10, extending her record among female rappers. Missy Elliott ranks second with nine.
Meanwhile, the 39-2 ascent for “Anaconda” marks the second-biggest jump ever within the Hot 100’s top 40. Only the Black Eyed Peas made a loftier leap in the region when “Boom Boom Pow” blasted 39-1 on April 18, 2009.
On Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, “Anaconda” becomes Minaj’s third No. 1 (10-1). It’s her third No. 1 on Rap Songs (4-1), where it dethrones Azalea’s “Fancy,” featuring Grande, after a record-tying 18-week reign. (Elliott’s “Hot Boyz,” featuring Nas, Eve and Q-Tip, reigned for 18 weeks in 1999-2000). On the Hot 100, “Fancy” falls out of the top 10 (5-11). The collab spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and remains the only title to have led Billboard’s Songs of the Summer chart this year; one week remains in the survey’s tracking period before the season’s final rankings are revealed.
NICKIMINAJ anaconda is the highest solo single by a female rapper to chart on billboard. Now beat that Iggy!! Let’s see Iggy reach the top 10 without help from anyone.
So much for Iggy “replacing” Nicki. I’ll bet Forbes is feeling REAL stupid for writing that article now lol.
Its no wonder they had to retract that mess of an article. The whole world scoffed. Especially hip hop heads. I’m sure Nic’s line on Flawless ‘I know they hope I fall, but tell em winning is my mf protocol’ was for Forbes.
Nicki is the highest ranking solo female rapper with Anaconda at no.2! Iggy’s highest ranking solo song is work that peaked at 54 and Lil’Kim’s highest solo song was Lighters that got to 51!
Bey-Minaj, your receipts are giving me life!!!! Get ready for that #1 Album, the Pink Print!!!!
I live for my receipts! Lol
Go taylor swift!!!
anaconda went to number 2 which the article states 95% was due to the stream of the video lol so now video streams determine a songs success Ctfu
That’s everyone in this era tho
Look at rihanna and co
Streams and views
And I haven’t even begun to hear anaconda on the radio yet
you mad?
you mad your fav can’t get that many people to watch her video?
Its also selling,and don’t worry we’ll keep streaming AND buying.
You tried it, this is what Billboard said.
Below Swift’s new Hot 100 leader, Minaj’s jump from No. 39 to No. 2, with top Digital and Streaming Gainer honors, marks the chart’s other major news.
Yasss hunty that’s streaming AND Digital.
It shifted over 115K for a third consecutive week. That is only set to grow now darling. Stay pressed.
Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” blasts in at No. 1, selling 544,000 downloads in its first week — the biggest sales week of 2014 and the fourth-largest debut week ever.
Taylor beat the p*** video:D
No shade but you have to use logic. Now congrats to Taylor and Minaj BOTH but Taylor’s single is number one because 500,000+ people bought it in a week and called up the radio stations and went crazy for them to keep playing it which will in turn make the radio stations keep playing it. Nicki, on the other hand, had a super controversial sexual video which made every once flock to vevo to see it and that’s %95 percent of why she is number 2(albeit still number 2 so congrats). Her radio play and purchasing (the other5%) better increase in the next 7 days because I doubt another 43 million views will come again this coming week so the other areas outside of “shock and aww” need to be exercised or else it will descend quickly. But congrats to them both especially Taylor who’s just seems to always SLAY the girls like they did back in the day with huge sales and heavy radio play!!! I don’t like her but she sure does have a great team and marketing campaign
All the bragging in this post will make the Pinkshit’s first week sales even more hilarious.

Where’s the post about Ariana only doing 12-38K more than her debut?
