Call It A Comeback! Missy Elliott Blasts Into iTunes Top 10 After Super Bowl Showing

Published: Monday 2nd Feb 2015 by Sam

Missy Elliott may need to expedite her comeback plans, because the masses are making their stance loud and clear: they are ready.

Following her critically-praised performance with Katy Perry at last night’s Super Bowl – which saw her rock the Phoenix Stadium with hits such as ‘Get Ur Freak On’ and ‘Lose Control’, the rapper has impacted the iTunes charts in a major way.

Details below…

As at writing, Elliott has three songs in the top 20 of the digital retailer’s US store – two of which sit within the top 10.

2002’s ‘Work It’ ranks highest at #4, while 2001’s ‘Get Ur Freak On’ sits at #6. Lose Control’, which was released in 2005 and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, rounds out the resurgence at #12.

***************

Missy has been meticulous with the creation of her new album (which serves as her first in over a decade) and hasn’t mentioned much about it since teasing with two taster tracks in 2012.

Here’s hoping the buzz from her live stage comeback will see new music surface sooner rather than later. The anticipation is clearly there.

    Lose Control !!!!!!!!!

    @Beyonce_Stats: #CHARTS Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs: 7/11 – #1 | Beyoncé’s 22nd #1 on the chart. She is now tied for second place, behind Madonna

    • Yawnzzzz February 2, 2015

      Beyonce’s stans are so desperate and insecure.
      Nobody cares about Bey’s dance chart achievements. Prancing around like a stripper is not dancing.
      Sad…

      • SURPRISE…….(DEC.13) February 2, 2015

        BUT WHY ARE U SO BITTER THO?????

    • SMH February 2, 2015

      Why can’t she do that on the hot 100? Literally anybody can go to #1 on that chart.

      • The Beysus Impact February 2, 2015

  2. WHO ME? WHO YOU, NIGGAA? HA HA HA! (QUEEN SLAYZEALIA) February 2, 2015

    She better release some new grammy-worthy material now that she got her exposure back. Also, hopefully, she’ll be gracious enough to grant ciara another lose control feature to help her career out and help i bet reach the top 10 on iTunes. Lol!I’m here for a Ciara super bowl performance though. I’d get nine lives if she performs love, s**, magic.

    • FAF February 2, 2015

      Ciara has 3 songs in itunes top 100 as we speak hun
      2 of which missy is not the main artist

  8. The Beysus Impact February 2, 2015

  9. MariahIsMusic1 February 2, 2015

    Queen owned Superbowl, queen of rap slaying with queen of basics. Yessss Missy!!

  10. MariahIsMusic1 February 2, 2015

    QUEEN OF HIP HOP.

  11. SMH February 2, 2015

    Go Missy. Talent always prevails over gimmicks.

    • Yeah I Said it February 2, 2015

      Ironic coming from someone whos team gaga and rihanna.

  12. DEL BEY February 2, 2015

    congratulations missy, she deserves it, she was a well needed relief from katys disney display.

  13. LB February 2, 2015

    I hope this marks the comeback of a major Missy Elliot era, hoping. And then the mediocrity of Igor and Nicki Minaj will be over and done with. Done with ghost written rhymes, songs about her vag and Nick Jr kindergarten rhymes…ala a cocktail of Igor and Nicki Minaj.

    I also cannot wait to see AZEALIA BANKS’ Ice princess video, she better bring it.

    • FAF February 2, 2015

      yeah because “iz it worth it let me work it i put my thang down flip it & reverse it izyurfremedipifanyan” is Maya angelou material..

      • OMG Logic!!! February 2, 2015

        Sounds poetic to me.

      • Shut up February 2, 2015

        LOL who the hell do you think you’re talking about right now???!!!!!! It’s a dance hook! Are you really trying to act like Iggy and Nicki have come up with more iconic s***?? I despise Iggy and very much love Nicki Minaj but don’t even try to come for Missy like that. As if Missy Elliot has ever proclaimed to be any kind of conscious rapper. Or AS IF THOSE WOMEN ARE ON HER LEVEL LOL

      • DeCarlo’Fung February 2, 2015

        @Shut up^

        YOU BETTA F****** PREACHHHH!!!

    Slaying Truffle Floptter!

    Nicki who????

    • DEL BEY February 2, 2015

      ahhh is someone seething over the fact that they used ciara’s vocals on ‘lose control’ rather than ever invite her to perform. oop

      • FutureCiara February 2, 2015

        Stay Mad Del Gay!

      • FutureCIARA February 2, 2015

        MadT that nobody is visiting your FLOP a**, student project of a blog?

  15. Islandboi242 February 2, 2015

    I want a missy nicki collab!!

    • Goodphuckinevening February 2, 2015

      Nah.

  16. Mike February 2, 2015

    When will Tricki Garbaj get invited to the superbowl just so she can sing her OWN song Missy is the true queen Nicki will remain below her

    • We Found Rihanna February 2, 2015

      Nicki was invited there WAY before Missy. The 1st female rap artist to do so. Missy was great and she is talented but lets call it what it is she was used for Katy’s wardrobe changes. Keep it cute

      • LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. February 2, 2015

        B****, can you read? The poster said invited to sing HER OWN SONGS. Flopnika Garbaj didn’t perform any of her own songs at the Super Bowl. Flopnika Garbaj was invited as Madonna’s b**** on a leash and appeared for 10 seconds. Missy was invited and had her own set with her OWN SONGS. Stay pressed. Missy Elliott wins, b****. Flopnika Garbaj is crying at home because she knows Queen Missy is back to show h0es how it’s REALLY done.

    • LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. February 2, 2015

      PREACH!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Yeah I Said it February 2, 2015

    Yess missy STOLE the show!

  18. Lmfao_Hoe February 2, 2015

    Yes ! Thank you God, cause Missy is missed in this era of music. Proof she needs to seriously come back with support of the general public interest. First D’Angelo, TLC now Missy, and hopefully Kim, Foxy, Janet J. and Lauryn Hill follow in pursuit. I need all of the 90s artists/ Legends to come out the woodworks and show theses mothfuckas how’s it done !

    • James February 2, 2015

      keep dreaming on that kim part. shes over lmao move on

  19. blue February 2, 2015

    again, missy was bound to have a bigger impact as katy’s hits are too recent…not taking anything from missy but cmon people! Also by the time missy is ready to release an album this hype will be long dead…

    • Yeah I Said it February 2, 2015

      Umm so explain Bruno Mars massive boost?

      • blue February 2, 2015

        BRUNO MARS…explained! The man killed it beyond killing it. He had hits but unlike katy not all do 4mil everytime. Katy is overexposed in away bruno is not and that has its benefits.

      • Yeah I Said It February 2, 2015

        Yeah so i don’t think it has anything to do with it being recent. Its simply about the artist.

  20. Sass February 2, 2015

    I am not surprised… Missy killed it. And Katy did a good job for what shes worth too.

  21. @RealMattPhoenix February 2, 2015

    Yaaaas missy brought back 6th and 7th grade nostalgia with her performance.

    I wanted to hear “shake your pompom’s

    • metzo February 2, 2015

      Me.

  22. metzo February 2, 2015

    She has classics. Her music is timeless. Those 3 songs will never get old. Well deserved. I hope she ‘re renters the hot 100 next week

    • DEL BEY February 2, 2015

      thanks for the comment about my blog boo, it means a lot x

    • Al February 2, 2015

      Loose Control sounds as fresher than anything out now Missy was beyond the times she’s incredible

  23. JOHNVIDAL February 2, 2015

    Must be the first time the leading artist of the Halftime Show doesn´t reach the top 10 or 20 on itunes singles the day after the show. Katy Perry in all her basicness. I mean, her only strenght is the success of her singles. What happened? I thought she would be able to fool those audiences that don´t care much. I´m really surprised by this. Madonna did it, Bruno did it and Beyonce did it. Not even with allll the money and theatrics used in that show she can mask her basicness any longer.

  24. JOHNVIDAL February 2, 2015

    Congrats to Missy. Unexpected rebound of her catalogue, over the leading artist like I said.

  25. #TeamTinashe Stan February 2, 2015

    So proud of her!! I’ve been waiting for the day for some award show or something big to honor this remarkable woman in some kind of way because she truly deserves it.

  26. Dossome February 2, 2015

    Congrats Missy…I fucken love this woman.I hope this is the beginning of her comeback

  27. MariahIsMusic1 February 2, 2015

    Nicki is bitter why didn’t she tweet Missy & congratulate her.

    • Al February 2, 2015

      Cause Nicki is done!!

    • LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. February 2, 2015

      Flopnika Garbaj doesn’t want the success of any other female rapper, because when they come out they expose her for the basic b**** that she is. Missy Elliott is THAT B****! Flopnika can’t FUUUCK with Missy on her worst day. Flopnika has no legendary music.

  28. Kitty Puurrzz February 2, 2015

    THE QUEEN OF HIP HOP

  29. MariahIsMusic1 February 2, 2015

    Lil was Kim was right, she only wants the success to all herself. She’s like that smart kid @ school that hates it when other kids outperform it with marks.

    • LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. February 2, 2015

      Lil’ Kim never told a single lie about Flopnika Garbaj, but people just ignored Lil’ Kim because Flopnika was hot at the time and popping. But real people know the truth and know that everything that Kim said about Nicki is true and Nicki is a deranged bipolar evil person who will sneak diss and deny it. FUUUCK that b****. Missy Elliott a REAL b**** who supports her fellow female rappers is BACK! Flopnika is done. Karma has ended her career and brought back the real queens of rap!

  30. BELLA MARLENE FAVELA February 2, 2015

    Missy imma let you finish but Nicki Minaj was the first female rapper that the the Superbowl s*** only 2 years in her career!!!!! joke apart well done Missy!!!! she definitely rocked to the extent I saw some espanol stars cheer her up!!!! and also some were shading Katy in Spanish!! she did it but…….this doesn’t mean if she brings an album now it’ll be doing 100k!!! but I’m ready Missy!!!

    • Terry B February 2, 2015

      Actually she’s not the first female rapper to perform at the Super Bowl

      • BELLA MARLENE FAVELA February 2, 2015

        then who? its not Kim? it wasn’t mussy? who? 🙂

    • LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. February 2, 2015

      That 10 second sh!t with Madonna that was none of her original music? FUUUCK OUTTA HERE! Missy was the first female rapper to have a set of her own music at the Super Bowl. Katy was just Missy’s hype woman.

  31. MariahIsMusic1 February 2, 2015

    Queen Missy killing itunes… Work It will never die!! Timeless classic.

  32. MariahIsMusic1 February 2, 2015

    Oh pls that Nicki performance wasn’t even that memorable.

    • KeKe February 2, 2015

      Nicki didn’t even do her own songs

  33. Arianator Barb February 2, 2015

    Pussycat is still my favorite missy song

  34. Mark111 February 2, 2015

    The Barbs are bothered. Missy ALWAYS been Queen of Hip Hop. 6 platinum albums! How’s In The Stink Print doing? We the listeners named Missy that way back in 02. Nicki called herself that, not us. She’s only mainstream because of her EDM and Pop crap, Missy and Timberland made their own sound and style. And for the Ciara stans, let me remind you the artist that put them two on the map. (Points to my avi)

    • FutureCiara February 2, 2015

      Geeeerl STFU.

    • MariahIsMusic1 February 2, 2015

      The barbies r so pressed… Gather them.

    • LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. February 2, 2015

      The Barfz are hot and bothered because they need no female rappers around to keep up the illusion of Flopnika Garbaj being the queen of something. That b**** ain’t been the queen of sh!t. Missy is back to show these kids how it’s done. Flopnika Garbaj is probably lying in bed with depression after the return of Missy, because Missy isn’t a selfish b**** like Flopnika and will open doors for so many female rappers to return.

    • Clover February 3, 2015

      @Mark111 How did you end up making this about Ciara?

  35. BELLA MARLENE FAVELA February 2, 2015

    @mariahismusic y are u believing your lies!! when Nicki was doing the Superbowl did Missy congratulate her? has igloo congratulated Missy year? when Nicki does anything has this female rappers congratulate her? stop being shady cause Nicki may not have watched since she hasn’t tweeted in two days now!!!! stop making it seem weird!!! when Nicki performs did they congratulate her? the only female rapper that ever congratulated Nicki is Trina!!! when they were bashing Nicki for her Grammy performance didn’t Kim insult her? u are taking the word of a woman who went to jail for conspiracy in murder!! f*** out!!

  36. BELLA MARLENE FAVELA February 2, 2015

    @mark111 u are the one that thinks the barbz are angry!!!! b**** Nicki calls her self queen of rap doesn’t mean the media doesnt say it too!! sees rolling stone before her first album they called her “queen of hip hop” not only she says!!! so cause Missy is doing what Nicki has already done meaning we are pressed!! if Missy was that important shell be headlining the show 20 yes career comparing to a 5 yes career!! pink print is selling fine and mussy was in d age of diamond albums!!! I’m sure Nicki can headline that Superbowl I believe it!!! she got pop songs and she can be given sees her American idol gig!!! so miss me!! well done Missy

    • Mark111 February 2, 2015

      Nicki shared the stage with LMFAO and did a Madonna song, NOT her own. She had as much shine as on of Katy Perry’s shark.
      .
      missy did HER songs and stole the show. No one questions Missy’s talent nor writing. She have CLASSIC jams and songs of her own and of others she wrote. You play toys were excited that Icky did a track with Beyonce. Missy been done that back when Icky was injecting fix a flat in her @ss.

      • Goodphuckinevening February 2, 2015

        Yesssss come thru with these receipts!!!

      • BELLA MARLENE FAVELA February 2, 2015

        whether or not Nicki did her own song or not!! it is still recorded as Madonna ft Nicki Minaj MIA LMFAO and Katy Perry ft Missy Elliott making Nicki the first to make an appearance!!!! so miss me with that blah blah blah!!! Nicki did 2 years in her career!! and for her to be allowed to perform with Madonna has its own consequences like signing an agreement that she’s responsible for any wrong actions sees MIA situation!!!
        whether or not u question nickis writing credit! we have artists and her fans that believes her!! nickis mix tapes were called classics and her lyrics are still heard sees azelia banks, dej loaf, Rita ora, rihanna quoting them!! idk what u said I like Missy and that’s that!! but Nicki songs like did it on em, roman revenge, monster verse , your love are Still played!! if u don’t like it killyourself !!! Buenos dias

  37. Kemar (@S_C_Jr on Twitter) February 2, 2015

    Hip-Hop Queen. There’s none like her! I always feel like she doesn’t get the respect she deserves. Not only is she a female rapper with 5 Platinum or higher certified albums and 5 Grammys but she’s also an accomplished songwriter and producer as well as a visionary! I hope we get a new album soon.

    • Kemar (@S_C_Jr on Twitter) February 2, 2015

      Excuse me, *6 Platinum albums. I hate typos!

    • Yolanda February 2, 2015

      And a singer.

  38. FutureCiara February 2, 2015

    Missy & Ciara had some of the BEST collabs!

  39. FutureCiara February 2, 2015

    Why are the Barbz in here seething?

  40. Godnika Teas February 2, 2015

    Slay Missy!

  41. Minajesty February 2, 2015

    Lol people coming out of nowhere praising missy like she is some god she is not the queen of hip hop anymore Nicki done snatched the crown from her head and kicked her fat ass off the throne she is going to fall off the iTunes lists by wednesday will Nicki the real queen will carry on outselling her effortlessly

    • Goodphuckinevening February 2, 2015

      Girl even you don’t believe that shyt you just typed.

  42. KenXMaraj February 2, 2015

    Missy is a flop has been she is now deemed the queen just because of one performance lol some of y’all need several seats

    • Goodphuckinevening February 2, 2015

      You’re real mad…lmao. She’s the QUEEN and you’ll stay upset about it!

    • Al February 2, 2015

      Missy a flop bitvh please take a seat with ur crusty food stamp behind.
      Missy always been queen got people talking about her nearly 20 years into her career. Nicki not relevant anymore nothing charting. The d****** print passed 500k nowt to shout about. Until Nicki can achieve what Missy has than please call her a flop u til than take ya seat. Nicki only charts with plop I mean pop

  43. Yolanda February 2, 2015

    Now everybody will know that Missy been singing/rapping. She was the FIRST FEMALE RAPPER that made crossover songs. Why do you think Katy Perry and Iggy Azalea reference her so much. However, Missy is pure freaking hip hop even on songs when she is only singing. Missy made crossover songs WITHOUT crossing over SO FAR INTO POP. That’s her genius.

  44. Bang Bang February 2, 2015

    @fancybish love ur comment!!

  45. MariahIsMusic1 February 2, 2015

    Missy Elliot is the real queen, which female rapper has 6 platinum albums???

  46. MariahIsMusic1 February 2, 2015

    Beyonce & Missy were doing songs when Nicki had a flat ass!

    • FutureCIARA February 2, 2015

      SCREAMS!!!

  47. LEGENDARY BIITCHES February 2, 2015

    You better Slayyyyyy Missy!!! I can’t even believe she took over Katy’s show!? Clearly people miss Missy’s fresh sound and the people that never heard of her, probably can’t believe there’s another female rapper out their like her. Why are people downplaying Missy’s impact? No Missy or Kim = No Nicki. I really hope she hurry up and drop that album!

  48. MisdamenorFan February 2, 2015

    She hasn’t been anywhere. ICONS don’t need to put music that is hot for 3 weeks and people forget. You know she still has it.

  49. LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. February 2, 2015

    YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MISSY!!!!!!!! I am so happy for the Queen of Hip Hop. Missy returning means that Flopnika Garbaj can’t live anymore. Flopnika Garbaj can’t see Missy. Lil’ Kim and Team Kim have been trying to tell you that the only way that Flopnika Garbaj can live is without competition. That’s why she did everything within her power to block her competitors from rising. Now Missy is back, it’s over for Flopnika. Nobody will be checking for her. The difference between Missy and Flopnika is that Missy’s secure in her talent and she is not selfish b****, so best believe she will open the door for many female rappers to come through and blaze the scene. I can’t wait for the Queen of Rap Lil’ Kim and the Queen of Hip Hop Missy Elliott to do a song together. You guys also need to watch out for Missy Elliott’s DOPE artist Sharaya, who will soon break onto the scene. To summarize: GOODBYE FLOPNIKA GARBAJ. R.I.P. to ya career. 2009-2015. Karma has bitten you back, B****!

  50. Carry On February 2, 2015

    Being Disney and a wanna be stripper gimmicks don’t feed the soul. Now eat that….
