The US public has spoken and the only name on their lips is…Rihanna.
For, after performing the single at the 57th annual Grammy awards, the star has watched ‘FourFiveSeconds’ claim the #1 spot on iTunes USA’s singles tally, recently standing tall as the highest selling single on the competitve chart.
Fantastic news below…
Welcoming mixed reviews upon its arrival, ‘Seconds’ now sits pretty at #2 but enjoyed the #1 spot hours ago before being dethroned by Ed Sheeran’s ‘Thinking Out Loud.’
The cut is lifted from her eighth studio album which is due for release later this year, and follows the hits ‘Only Girl in the World’, ‘We Found Love’, ‘Diamonds’ and ‘Pour It Up‘, all of which have surpassed sales of 1 million units in the US alone.
In other chart news, Madonna’s ‘Joan of Arc’ resides at #3, while Nicki Minaj’s ‘Truffle Butter’ turns up at #26’s door, doing so as Usher’s ‘I Don’t Mind’ parties with #34.
On a sales front, Adele’s ’21’ makes swift moves towards the 12 million units sold mark in the US while the French-speaking Elijah Blake sees his single ‘Sing For Me’ cross the 15,000 units sold plateau in the United Kingdom.

Oh NOW it has… *sips tea* what a struggle…
But drunk in love didn’t make it to number 1 so …?
Clock ha @rihboy
@BeyonceLand: Beyoncé was named Best Dressed at the GRAMMYs by VOGUE http://t.co/3LfiVK4Y1U
Well That Was A Quick Little Stay At #1. At Least It Finally Made It.
Aaaaand its back!
YES! SLAY EM RIH. 😉
14th #1
NOT THIS ONE THO!!!!!!!! I JUST DON’T SEE THIS BEING ANOTHER FORGETTABLE BUBBLE GUM NO 1 FOR HER. MAYBE THE NEXT ONE THO..
I agree maybe another single !!
I doubt it will make it to #1 on billboard. If she wants that she’ll have to continuing promoting and shoving the song down people’s throats (what she usually does). That payola deal might help too
If only your crystal ball was so accurate with AOTY
*Correction* if only YOUR crystal balls were this accurate during AOTY. Because you were running around saying that “Beyonce” deserved that award too.
Ive Never Said Beyonce Was Guaranteed to Win AOTY. I always said I HOPE she Wins.
Oh i’m sure his crystal ball will be accurate when u realize that #UGLYFOURSECONDS will not reach no 1…LOL
The so called payola deal only lasted a day 😉
obviously.
Good for her
I don’t really care about iTunes Charts but I love to see egg on the haters faces!!!
Are u not a CI-MANRA fan, why are u posing as a damn NAZI????
Cimanra had a real baby
As many times as u recycle the same joke ima keep punching u wit the facts FAGGGG
Even if only for four five seconds, we the Navy will claim the accomplishment. Many would be happy with far less so let’s not be ungrateful.
I totally agree you are my fav on this site
Slay me!! American made a decision. Where is that Rita snora stan??I haven’t seen this b**** since the slayage begun!! Where is Rita’s single bitc h??of course the fleas are the first to comment.They care more about four five sec than the damn navy. Meanwhile 9/11 still stuggles.
“9/11”?? U MEAN THE SONG BEYONCE HAS NEVER PERFORMED OR PROMOTED AT ALL, AND JUST RELEASED A VIDEO THAT COST 10 DOLLARS TO MAKE, WHILE SHE IS STILL PERCHED IN HER MANSION SIPPING CHAMPAGNE, SURROUNDED BY 20 FUCKKING GRAMMYS. YEAH I’M SURE BEY IS DEVASTATED BY “9/11” NOT BEING NO 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL
The promo excuse is dead! four five seconds (boring folk song) stayed in the top 10 with no streaming before the grammy performance.you fleas keep bringing up her grammys to distract from her chart failure on the bb hot 100 death!! 20 f****** grammys yet you fleas are still crying and acting a damn fool on twitter.This proves how ignorant the fleas are.
I see Rihanna doesn’t have to strip in order to chart at #2
Beyonce didn’t promote in order to chart at #1
I could have sworn BEYONCÉ released music videos and performed at the Grammies. ( when did rihanna promote her new single? She just released it and paid it dust till the grammies
I could’ve SWORN Bey didn’t need twitter or a big generic lead single…
Umm, “Drunk in Love” might have been promoted at the Grammy’s AFTER the release of “Beyonce” but we didnt hear any of its material prior to it being dropped. “Unapologetic” was promoted. “R8” is being promoted. “Beyonce” was not and it still managed to shoot straight to #1.
How is Fourfiveseconds generic if there isn’t a single like it in mainstream right now? How is it generic if it’s accoustic and raw?
I meant in general… God sake….
That doesn’t make any sense Beysus. Like how yall thought Bey would have gotten AOTY
No, she just stripped to get “Pour It Up” to peak at #21
At least it wasnt at the grammys in front of her child
Its on the world wide web…
I think she should’ve put out two singles simultaneously that way she could experiment with fourfiveseconds but still give her fans like that pop friendly record.
@Blue
‘
And it was a vocal stripped down song too. She managed to take the song to the top of the charts with little effort
Just to show the “industry s***” can sell and chart off her name alone while BEYONCÉ has to expose her punani to her child in front row. All the attendees were missing were 3D glasses, pum pum right up in their faces like big Sean groupie
Lmfao!
‘Sell and chart off her name alone’ You sound like the Hive on Dec 13th 2013 babe. Way before the VMAS.
Navy can we not bring Beyoncé into this s***? I’m tired of seeing her name on Rih posts and vice versa. Congrats to her. Well deserved after last nights performance.
All the haters need to drink poison and die the hate is real and rih will reach number 1
Oop, there goes that for the Fleahive whos been trying that tired #1 drag kiiiii
14th #1 next week on billboard. Poor haters, lol
@Blue
No, she just stripped to get “Pour It Up” to peak at #21
But Rihanna paid it dust. While your faves lead single was drunk in love?
That’s because that song caught the most attention… Blow was originally the lead…
But doesn’t that mean she promoted the album and singles? She did do a performance for partition, XO and Drunk in Love
AFTER the surprise album was released…
DIL got promoted in Feb tho! Partition got one actual TV performance and so did Xo, Pretty hurts didn’t get any
Beyonce paid 7/11 dust and it still peaked at 13.
Damn back at #2 y’all need to stop talk about Beyonce and to buying
When was the last time Beyonce topped this chart? Lol
Get to buying
Rihanna sounded very good,now we can see she’s very talented.Her Voice is so Unique!!! Like Amy Winehouse,wow.
Bye felicia. Don’t insult Amy like that.
“On a sales front, Adele’s ’21’ makes swift moves towards the 12 million units sold mark in the US <— Really? Really? That is amazing! Her album is good but not all that. Her sales reminds me of "Jagged Little Pill"/"Norah Jones" type of commercial success. Albums that are good but kinda overrated in the sales department.
–
Meanwhile, The Mis-Education Of Lauryn Hill JUST now crossed the 8 millionth mark almost 20 years later. Honestly, Miss Hill’s album is one of the greatest albums I’ve ever listened to. But, then again… Everything is based off of an opinion. I mean, S****** Spears got like 2 Diamond LPs… So, that proves sales really don’t mean s***!
–
Congrats SLAYdele. What she achieved in today’s market, is nearly impossible.
TMOLH is one of my favorite albums EVER! The title track makes me cry till this day 😀
Ms. Sherry, I love that album so much.
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is absolutely incredible, I love that album
Me too baby. Chile… Let me go put it on right now.
Well it is a good song & the performance was great!
Rihanna take your time with R8! Give us the bonafide pop classic I know is in you. 😀
She’ll be top 5 next week but not #1. #1 is between Bruno and Ed
But y’all see that sleeper hit Style by Taylor tho damn its already gold and is being released as a single tomorrow. Taylor killing itt , surprised David didn’t mention it oh well
Damn Taylor! LOL!
‘Style’ is literally the gem of that album! I’m not a Taylor fan like that but ‘Style’s’ perfection is undeniable. I actually want that song to go #1. So much better than ‘Shake It Off’ & ‘Blank Space.’
Ikr! She killing s***, I like Blank Space I do think Shake It Off was trash. It will definitely go #1 its already getting heavy airplay and in the top 20 on iTunes plus she said at the Grammy’s the video is coming soon. I think its suppose to be tomorrow
Beyonce didnt promote her album. She didnt have a release date, she didnt release a single prior to the release, she Wasn’t releasing a bunch of Magazine covers nor was she spamming Twitter with Itunes links..lmfao She only performed at the Grammys A month after she released the single and album, and performed at the Vma’s eight months later.
.
She released an ALBUM out of the blue and it shot to #1.Miss me with the “she had to strip” reads. People were buying before they heard the music or saw the videos.Now thats POWER!!!
So why did she strip then?
Why did the Grammy’s have to assist Rihanna in getting “FourFiveSeconds” to number #1, when Beyonce’s entire surprise album rose straight to #1 without any help…in less than 24 hrs?
Stripping is what Rihanna does best. Everyone has seen her p**** lips online.Not Bey
So the Grammy’s and Rihanna explain why Beyonce stripped? I don’t get the connection
Oh im sorry hun. Let me explain. You have NEVER seen Beyonce’s p**** lips or n****** but the world has seen Rihanna’s. You spoke of stripping and as you being a Rihanna fan, I had to remind you. You’re welcome 😉
Are you saying Beyonce stripped because of Rihanna?
But where on Rihannnas last album did she strip? Diamonds? No! stay? No! Wht Now? No! Pour it up? She was in the strip club enjoying herself and she never took off her clothes so??
Rihanna’s surprise single struggled its way on up to #1. So remember to send the Grammy’s a thank you basket when you get a chance.
“Beyonce”, an ENTIRE BODY OF WORK, effortlessly went to #1 without any assistance.
Ok so according to Tyler, Beyonce stripped because she was anticipating 4.5 seconds….that’s all I’m getting
@Blue
Rihanna did strip. She was literally SLIDING DOWN A DAMN POLE and TWERKING IN A THONG during the PIU video.
Oh girl you’re slow tonight. Don’t try to come for Bey when your fave has stripped naked on camera, made the pour it up video and is known as Industry p****. Surely you could stand Beyonce showing a little skin if you support Rihanna. Don’t try it
“Beyonce” went #1 without any promo. Rihanna’s surprise struggle lead single was popping for FourFiveSeconds, thanks to the Grammy’s.
Why is that?
@Slayhive
‘
I little bit of skin? She had her legs wide open in front of her daughter at the VMAs, why did she do that?
So Tyler, are you saying Beyonce stripped to make sure she would got to #1? You’re not explaining why Beyonce stripped
Stripping = Progressivley taking your clothes off until you’re naked. Please explain where she did that?
Just like Rihanna had her legs wide open at the Billboard Awards 2011? The thing is Rih is a stripper and h** in real life.
Wait a minute, are the hive trying to change their definition of strip on me?
@Slayhive
‘
But that doesn’t explain why Beyonce opened her legs though, why did she open her legs?
Thats not what I asked you. You’re not explaining why Beyonce’s surprise release rose straight to #1 and Rihanna’s didnt.
Girl bye
LMAO Tyler,
‘
Go back to the top of the comment, I asked why she stripped and you tried to deflect. Answer that question and I might answer yours.
Beyonce never stripped. She has yet to flash her bare n******, v*****, or ass crack to the whole entire world. Rihanna has so you’d be better off directing that question to your fellow Navy members…Now answer mine lol.
So the Style song is out yasssss! I love that some I hope the is actually coming tomorrow
Yeah, Taylor has been killing it. Its a good thing that she and Rihanna decided to SWITCH PERSONAS this era.
Lmaooo DEATH!
Death its slipped to #2 already. The Navy are too concerned about Beyonce tbh.
Thats because last nights entire event revolved around Beyonce.
Thats because last nights entire event revolved around Beyonce.

While you’re there, check for Kelly’s current chart position
Who is kelly??? I know Kelly Clarkson
I think she is Beyonce’s as$ wiper, IDK

They’re too busy listening to Beck. Everyone forgot Rihanna existed for like fourfiveseconds…
The only thing concerned are the fleas.Bit ch are you blind??? A flea was the first to comment.you care more about four five sec than 9/11.Go get fleayonce a #1 hit.Its been 6 years.
Seriously Hive y’all don’t need to keep arguing with these lessors about BEYONCE at the end of the day it made history. The haterz got it already!
Pour it up? She was in the strip club enjoying herself <<<< don't be such a f****** hypocrite!!!! Partition was set in a burlesque club and Bey was performing for her husband so why you saying she HAD to strip???? BYE FELICIA!!!!
Bey performed for the world and her husband honey.It was aired on TV,in front of a live audience not in her room.
Your fave posed N*** on the front of a magazine cover. The whole world knows what Rihannas bare n****** look like.
funny I remember a certain character named sasha fat who posed butterball ass naked
Exposing her bare AREOLAS????? Nope.
Well looks like its FourFiveSeconds of glory are up already lol.
No that’s 7/11.
Yas Navy we’re all waiting for that R8 slayage 900k first week WW for the “Global queen”. 2 million in two months, another 2 million in another two months. 5 million by month five. By 9 months I’m expecting R8 to have sold over 9 million WW. NO LESS!
LB is going IN on those roaches, lol. #WishSomebodyWouldTryMe #ThatsAlliWant
He’s making a fool of himself but that’s nothing new you know that already
Beyonce didn’t even acknowledge her album, so why should the grammys? You dumb roaches were jumping and popping ya stinky @ss holes, yet never realized that Beyonce the album could’ve been a huge album and doing what 1989 doing now or better. With the videos and tour, she could had capitalized better off of it than she did. Oh well.
They should have just let it go to be honest, Beyonce walked home with 3 Grammy’s to add to her 20, there was nothing to complain about.
‘
Now they just exposed themselves to the world, they will turn out to be the new monsters, just watch.
Um that was the whole point. She didn’t want to capitalize. It would’ve contradicted the whole point of a random release with no pre warning. But I’m glad you can finally admit the Hive ain’t lying about the small amount of promo it had and still outsold these other pop tarts.
So this means that BEYONCÉs album with all the videos, promotion and push by the hive is still not comparable to some veteran artist with a banjo and a mic album?
Why call it Beyonce’s AOTY snub if the Grammies never seen her album as AOTY material? How’s does a
How’s does a album filled with videos lose to a some irrelevant alternative rock star who’s album was no where near her success? That’s how you know her criticial acclaim is bought and her music is mediocre
LMAO because the Grammys isn’t about sales! Do you know how stupid you sound, first you accuse her buying Grammys, now she’s buying acclaim because she wasn’t given Grammys. Which one is it?
When did Beyoncé sell 5million WW? You guys have still failed to post receipts.
–
How is FourFiveSeconds generic? Like seriously. Calling the song generic just proves you’re just taking out your ass and don’t know anything about music. are you guys saying Paul McCartney is generic?
@mark111 that’s the thing Beyoncé is scary, she new her little “beehive” as well her herself and her team could use the “lack of promotion” as an excuse for its lackluster sales. If she promoted the album and still got snatched by Frozen that would look terrible for a suppose queen.
Remember when Mzz Janet Damita Jo Jackson slayed this hard…..comeback to us babe, please
http://youtu.be/dONYNjOTdIM
Lmao stupid theory.
One of my fav greatest songs TBH
http://youtu.be/YxfuDVcjNN0
Get into this amazing soul
http://youtu.be/6Lv1iBJGYRA
first FFS is doing amazingly haters be damned.
Second releasing a surprise album when you are beyonce is not a risk espcially not after teasing its release the whole year before hand and performing at the super bowl and the coverage it got was crazy and anticipated…that album was promoted before and during its release like no other artist’s. Yet 4mil is its total…#reflection
FFS will not go #1 anytime soon not in the next two weeks at least, its not on spotify and radio airplay is still too low to go up against ed and bruno…navy stop talking out your ass
“FFS will not go #1 anytime soon not in the next two weeks at least, its not on spotify and radio airplay is still too low to go up against ed and bruno…navy stop talking out your ass
“
‘
This is why I live for you, always keeping it REAL. I can always count on you as the voice of reason. Never leave my life please.
How can a non existent album be promoted?
If Four Five Seconds is folk then if Were A Boy is country.
and oprah is my grandmother.
A guitar, country a song makes not.
FFS clearly folk/pop song you not wanting to admit that does not remove its folk roots nor its lean towards country.
Babes they both are pop that’s my point, more importantly, both are CLASSIFIED as pop. It may be folk inspired, doesn’t make it a folk song. 10 years from now do you think you’ll see this song on a list of classic folk sings with Kanye Wests auto tuned ass all over it lmao. Don’t be delusional.
Why are these navy members comments more about Beyonce than the damn song though? No wonder it’s falling down the charts already.
better question is why is a beyhive the first person to comment?
im sure its a little unfamiliar seeing as too who you stan for and who you are rapping for right now, but when a song is at #2 and selling 99% of the #1 song and currently being #1 ww does not equate to falling down the chart. #1 in australia soon
Hun it’s slowly falling down the US chart. It was #1 for a min now it’s #2. Deal with it.
still selling more than your fav last single lol
I should hope so too with all the promo
i see beysus and slayhive have managed to crawl up from the grave of extreme shame…done crying ocean girls?
Crystal ball prediction is a tricky thing…it requires BRAIN CELLS
Can’t believe I just read someone said Beyonce ‘bought her acclaim’ fir her album LMFAO. So why didn’t she just buy her AOTY award like you claim she did with her other 17 Grammys. These theories get stupider and stupider by the year.
i just cant believe i just read a comment of someone claiming FFS is not folk…#strangetimes
Yeah strange, I’m looking on itunes now and I don’t see ‘folk’ anywhere in the genre description. Why is that? What was that you said about singing over a guitar again…
yes and im guessing tayor’s WANGBT was country too?
Arguably, because Taylor is a country artist. And FFS is not a merited folk song. It’s ‘folk inspired’
you just gave me the defense for why ffs isnt listed as folk.
Its NOT folk and you will deal lmao!
You said if IWAB isnt country just because shes singing over a guitar (when it clearly has folk/rock sounds in the melody). You’re right but the same applies to FFS. It will never be classed as a FOLK song, it may be inspired by the folk sound but NONE of those artists make folk music for a folk audience. Its a pop song for a pop audience! DEAL WITH IT.
BEYONCE still serves & her HATERS WILL CONTINUE TOO HATE!!! Congrats!!
oh that is soo true just please take it to the bey post…there were countless yesterday(guess same had some pressed-ness to workout)
I was just listening to A Perfect Contradiction – Paloma Faith today, David, this amazing artist needs some exposure, her music is just an amazing blend of Soul and R&B, I love it.
you b****** call rihanna’s single a flop when beyonce performed drunk in love on the grammys didn’t it send it to #2 but a week later it fell get the hell out of here beyonce needed the grammys too and her performance doing precious lord was dry and emotionless rihanna’s single has been out 3 weeks and doing way better than any of Beyonce’s singles ever did off her last album matter of fact her last 2 album keep debating lol
Beyonce>>>>Rihanna stop being delusional
Payola suddenly doing its job? I mean, yesterday, a day after the grammys she wasn´t in the top5. It´s clear people were not enjoying this song and it was selling just ok only cause of Rihanna´s name when it comes to singles.
The Grammys always boost songs. Paul McCartney’s presence is what is probably driving the sales. The Beatles collectors must own everything he releases.
Girl bye! His mic was off Lls! Nobody was thinking of him until the collab. Honestly. Just give them props!!!
I’ve hated on Rihanna for a long time, but I can’t deny that Unapologetic was great and that she’s pretty much a fashion icon. I’ll be here for her new era.
They won’t make a post that rih is back at #1! What a joke of a website.
yes #1 again
