Destiny’s Child alum, Ms. Kelly Rowland, is in full promo swing at the moment with the recent release of her third solo LP, ‘Here I Am’. Besides the album’s top three debut, more cause for celebration comes in the form of the set’s chart-topping single ‘Motivation’ being certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The Lil Wayne assisted smash has sold over 500,000 copies and is Kelly’s first solo gold single, and her second solo certification behind her debut, ‘Simply Deep’. Congrats!

Yesssssssss Ms Kelleeee!
and i loves that pic u used btw TGJ Staff!
Jason Derulo’s “Don’t wanna go home” has been certified gold too but you’re bashing the guy every damn day.
*Dont believe the hype*
That’s GREAT News.
Go Kelly Go Kelly!!.. lol
Congrats kelly, so deserved!
Love Kelly, but the way they play this song, I surely thought it was platinum by now…
Great song! Follow me on Twitter! – http://adf.ly/1IF2E
She has sold 900 k copies of Motivation!!!
CONGRATZ!!!
Congratz Kelly but Motivation is NOT solo…..
YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Kelly!
And yes, Motivation is a SOLO hit, just as your gay queens biggest SOLO hits- Baby Boy and Dangerously in Love. A guest artist is featured.
At least something is working for Ms. Kelly Kel!
At least she got something from the floppy album !!!!
Best Thing I Never Had will be gold in a few weeks too 🙂 !
BEYONCE>>>>>>>>>>>KELLY !!!!!!!!
Yayy! Congratulations Kelly! Lol at the promo shade.
If a guest artist is featured then how is solo??????
*is it
@QUEENBEY shut the hell up. You stay bashing Kelly and everyone else. All you do is STAY TROLLING on this site and probably others. Can someone say #UNEMPLOYED
way to gooooo Kellz!…omg i am over these queens on this blog…you know how u are
@YEABEY if Kelly’s motivation wasn’t solo then neither was Crazy In Love, Deja Vu, Baby Boy or Ego so that knocks out most of Beyonce’s best known hits in her “extensive musical catalog”
And lets not forget about Check Up On it 😉
Go Kelly!
Or Beautiful Liar…damn Beyonce hasn’t been solo a day in her life then lol. Stay #PRESSED
About time after many many weeks, TOO MANY remixs and the bet awards….SHE FINALLY REACHES GOLD. LOL.
Solo by beyonce
Me, myself and I – Gold
Irreplaceble- Platinum
Naughty girl – Gold
Ring the alarm – Gold
Congrats but the song is not solo,lil wayne is on it !!!
this post is a quit pathetic,We didnt get the other popstars singles certification so why hers.I mean album,OK but single ?????
I Love Kelly!!!
http://onlyturae.com
Or forgot
If I was a boy- Platinum
Single ladies- Platinum
Diva- Gold
Halo- Platinum
Sweat dreams – Platinum
SO OOOO PLEASE SIT DOWN WITH THAT ISSHHHH.
KELLY NEEDED A FEATURE GUEST AND SOO MANY REMIXS TO GET A GOLD…
P.S ego is a solo but the remix they put kanye and that’s GOLD.
Here I flop should be ur new name.
So if Motivation is not solo hit so that would mean CIL, Baby Boy are not Beyonce’s solo singles which were her hit singles after going solo. Never mind Deja vu, Check on it, Upgrade, Ego, Videophone. How many features were on DIL album? What about the Grammys??? They do not count???
Kelly is building her fanbase but let’s talk about you and your beloved Beyonce.
When they put Kanye on the remix and released the single/music video including his verse that automatically made him a feature.
And I was talking about her WELL KNOWN hits. Most people associate her with the songs that I’ve mentioned above and besides Irreplaceable and Single Ladies her MOST NOTABLE singles have all featured a rapper or well known singer.
Congratulations to her.The song is beginning to cross over to pop radio, I believe, and it’s still climbing the main charts, so it’s not really far-fetched to say that it has a chance of going platinum!
Hell even Rihanna has more platinum singles than KellyFLOPLAND !!!!
1. Pon De Replay- Platinum
2. S.O.S- Platinum
3. Unfaithful- Platinum
4. Umbrella- 3x Platinum
5. Shut Up And Drive- Platinum
6. Don`t Stop The Music- Platinum
7. Hate That I Love You ft. Ne-yo- Platinum
8. Take A Bow- 2x Platinum
9. Disturbia- 4x Platinum
10. Russian Roulette- Gold
11. Hard ft. Young Jeezy- Platinum
12. Rude Boy- 2x Platinum
13. Only Girl (In the World)- 2x Platinum
14. Whats My Name !? ft. Drake- 2x Platinum
15. S&M- Platinum
16. Cheers we will have to wait and see !!
@JAMIR21: I STAN 4 THE BEEHIVE&THE NAVY
Now you bringing Rihanna into this. Now that you can not defend Beyonce solo hits.
@Jamir what do you mean by “even Rihanna” aren’t you supposed to be “stanning” for Rihanna? LOL girrrrrrrrrrrrrl BYE! go sit your FAKE ass down somewhere.
@ MISSIMPARTIAL YOU NEED SOME GRAMMAR LESSONS !!!!!!! HAAHHAHAAH
@ 4LOPS I DO STAND FOR RIHANNA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUMBASS ASSHOLE !!!!!!!!
@JAMIR21: I STAN 4 THE BEEHIVE&THE NAVY
I guess the answer is NO. LOOL
PLEASE CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH RAPPER WAS ON SINGLE LADIES AND IRREPLACEBLE……because there were none….
YOU KELLY FANS BROUGHT UP BEYONCE….
beyonce can have a hit album without the need of a rapper…..look at 4 debut 300k number 1.
no featured guests.
But kelly’s only hit motivation had a featured rapper and plus many remix’s to help it go GOLD, not even platinum.
You can’t even compare beyonce and Rihanna to kelly. It is too unfair for kelly.
kELLY SHOULD BE COMPARED WITH KERI HILSON or ciara.
@ MISSIMPARTIAL I AM A FAN OF RIRI YOU M*********** !!!!!!
@JAMIR21: I STAN 4 THE BEEHIVE&THE NAVY
As I said what has Rihanna to do with it.???Random or what????You did mention Beyonce first already forgetting it.
Ha ha ha ha ha
The fact is QUEENBEY had had solo success……
Kelly has NOT……….all of Kellys ‘hits’ have been with featured artist
Kelly has ONLY HAD 2 hits after she left DC:
Dillema with Nelly
Motivaton with Wayne
U mad??? 😉
@ MISSIMPARTIAL MAYBE I FEEL LIKE PUTTING RIHANNA INTO IT DUMMY !!!!!!!!!
@MISSIMPARTIAL It isn’t worth it…arguing with a 13 year old child never goes anywhere lol.
GOOD FOR HER. NOW WHERE IS HER SINGLE SINGLE & VIDEO? I SWEAR HER FANS SHOULD MANAGE HER BECAUSE WE KNOW BETTER THAN HER “TEAM” SMH…
*has
@ 4LOPS DONT PUSH ME NEVER MESS WITH A BOY FROM NEW JERSEY !!!!!!!!!
This is old News!!! Rico Love posted a pic of the plaque a couple of weeks ago. She is almost at Platinum status!
How many songs have Kelly released that FLOPPED????
How many features she did that has FLOPPED?????
@QUEENBEY if you hate the man so much why do you continuously keep coming back to his site? as I’ve previously stated you are a broke ass, ignorant little Troll #BITCHSITDOWN
Kelly has been in the music biz for 15 years……
And she is still tryin to build a fan base????
Bwwwwwwwahahahahaaaahhhahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa
@ 4LOPS DONT TALK TO HER THAT WAY
CHAIR+YOUR BUT= SIT !!!!!!!!
@MISHKA
Thats because Jason DeRuNo is a one hit wonder and a basic b****.
@FLOPSTAYINYOURLANE-
*blank stare*
and
U mad???? 😉
SN: I dont be in EVERY Kelly Rowland post……only the ones I find interesting 😉
Go kelly.
Also congrats to her, “Here I Am” is her highest selling album 🙂
Motivation is NOT a solo hit…. It says FEATURING Lil Wayne and he is in the video and his name is on the single cover! I am not unfair who said I consider CIL, BABY BOY, and CHECK ON IT as solos? They are features too! But IRREPLACEABLE and SINGLE LADIES and many others were solos… So let’s not go there!
People are so dumb! Who said they don’t count? The song is successful YES 900k sold and unto Platinum status but it’s NOT solo!
Sam has a small ego (queenbey)

LMAOOOOOO Drops to the floor.
@MADONNA LOVER-
WRONG AGAIN!!
‘Ms. Kelly’ is her highest debut album
For the life of me why do you find so many Beyonce fan on a KELLY ROWLAND post? One reason I can think of is to hate. Yes Beyonce has more hit then KELLY true but at the end of the they both are doing something that they love. So why do we have to hate and compare them? Yes we all feel that our opinion count and truly it do but we are the reason if an artist make it or not. This album Here I am came in at number 3 for week one but the UK Release in September is where it’s at anyway. She got a number 1 hit from it. #TEAMKELLYROWLAND
Congratulations Kelly! Whether the song featured Lil Wayne or not, is irrelevant. The song has been certified gold. Period. And, all of the arguing and debating is not going to change that. So, why not just be happy for the woman?
And still no promo, It’s like she wants to flop at this point!!!!
*** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwZbhWb-SQs ***
Congrats to Kelly on Motiviation going gold. Thats a good look.
..aww..this is nice! congrats Ms. Kelly! :*
work your piece cuz she is Dat Chick
Why Cant Yall give Kelly A Break Like Damn Be Happy for The Girl I Swear It so Many Haters On Here & Why Ppl Always Comparing Her To Beyonce !!!!! #TakeASeat
@4FLOPSTAYINYOURLANEBIOTCH re: August 3, 2011 at 2:15 pm —
“Kelly is building her fanbase”..?! o~0 HUH..?! WHAT NOW..?!
Her first and ONLY “notable” U.S. Domestic release was October, 22nd, 2002 “Simply Deep” which was Certified Gold, and then returned 2-Million WW. That was some 10-YEARS AGO with “DC then fresh on everyone’s mind,” and our pockets THEN overflowing with disposable income.
..WHAT’S TAKING HER SO LONG? Kelly Rowland is OVER 30-years-old! She’s fast approaching her “expiration date” (as life-spans go in the Pop-Culture Landscape)!
..SHE’S NO SPRING CHICKEN…!!
Let’s see, her recent BET performance was “hyped to the hills,” we saw black celebs all ‘chime in’ to then lavish her with praise, congrats and well-wishes. But when THE REAL, AND ONLY MEANINGFUL ARBITERS then ruled (that’d be us: U.S. Retail discretionary-spending public): she FAILS, as witnessed by her “AWOL retail appearance”! Her most-recent U.S. broadcast late-night TV performances were roundly…”dismissed” (I”m being as “delicate” as I can with her/her fan’s emotions as possible)!
Listen, if Nicole Scherzinger gets a hit in the U.S., Kelly Rowland will be FINISHED! Don’t you think Simon Cowell is watching? Don’t you think he’s already made “contingent plans”?
Listen, there IS a reason Matthew Knowles allowed/chose Kelly and Michelle to be the core/remaining members of DC. NOW do you get it? Do you NOW see the picture? Now, does her..”lacking/shortcomings”, as seen in her “tepid sales” become apparent and finally makes sense?
Still a bit cryptic? Latoya Luckett is beautiful AND VERY TALENTED. So is Farrah Franklin. Don’t you see how Matthew Knowles finally realized how much of a “threat” to Beyonce they were? They were then “harshly dismissed”, sent to aimlessly roam the wilderness…
“Kelly Rowland/Brand Kelly: never before had one “so failed” after being given so much by so many!”
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT…!!

@ jamir21 give the f****** gurl a chance u dumbass we luv rih rih and bee but give kelly a chance so we can luv her tooo ur sooooo hot and ur a f****** flopppppp
Congrats Kelly. Motivation is still one of my faves. OH LOVER….DONT YOU DARE SLOW DOWN.
@ XYZ Beyonce is whack as hell she got the little puppy dogs like you to follow her every move and compare her to everyone. Her numbers has always been fudged if you want to now the real truth. You sold a million copies in 3 weeks without a number 1 songs on the chart Yeah right. This whole music industry thing is a fraud anyway. Every single she release on this 4 album flopped. But the album sold a million. SoMething wrong with that picture. Granted I use to be a Beyonce fan when she made good music but this crap that she is putting out now are for you sissy abd punk that follow her name on everyone else story to compare her to them. No one but you care we came her to give congrats to Kelly Rowland not to be going back and forth with the Beyonce soliders who really will not see pass her weak vocal for that super dance routine that she put on stage everytime. So for every downfall you list for Kelly there are quite a few to list for her former band mate so please if you have nothing nice to say head over to the many storis about Beyonce and write something nice there cause the real KELLY ROWLAND fanbase understand her and backs her music 100 percent. That is all…….
@WE LOVE YOU KELLY ROWLAND re: August 4, 2011 at 9:15 am
“XYZ Beyonce is whack as hell she got the little puppy dogs like you”
Hey, I take it you’ve never read any of my comments (been posting here, on TGJ, for ’bout 2-years now), let me say this in T-H-E most succinct and unambiguous way I can:
1.)”I’M NO BEYONCE FAN!” I’ve NEVER, bought a Beyonce CD/single; NEVER HAVE; NEVER WILL..!!
2.) Lady Gaga has ALREADY come for Beyonce. Jay-Z is the devil (along with Harvey Levin, The White Rapper, Officer Rick Ross and Oprah Winfrey) and Beyonce IS the “devil’s bride”!
But, the truth is…well, the truth: Kelly Rowland is NOT “headline material”! Latoya Luckett and Farrah Franklin are VASTLY MORE-TALENTED and were “direct threats” to Beyonce, this is why Matthew Knowles got rid of them! Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams are “slow”, “mundane”,”non-talents”, this is the ONLY reason he kept them in DC. No one was to outshine Beyonce!
..Just you wait till Simon Cowell replaces 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland, it’s THEN you’ll see that I was/am right!
X,Y,”and Z”
Let’s not forget that Beyonce’s most successful single to date is ‘Crazy in love’ and it isn’t SOLO! Jay -z features a guest rap on it, exactly like Lil Wayne does in the verse of ‘Motivation’ Kelly is the leading vocalist on ‘Motivation’
