Rita Ora Rockets To Top Of UK Singles Chart

ROC Nation’s Rita Ora has much cause to celebrate tonight.

For, the 21 year old has earned her first #1 single.

Details after the jump….

In at #1 is ‘Hot Right Now’, her collaboration with the acclaimed DJ Fresh, marking her first time atop the chart.

This, a positive indicator as to how her own singles will fare upon their release later on this year.

Her #1 spot places her a whopping 33 places above ‘We Found Love‘, by Roc rival Rihanna, and 5 positions above Jessie J’s ‘Domino‘ which is spending its 11th week on the chart.

Elsewhere, Nicki Minaj’s ‘Starships‘ storms in at #16, while her ‘Turn Me On‘ duet with David Guetta holds court at #10, one spot higher than last week.

Unfortunately for Madonna, ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’ slides 14 places to #51 after just two weeks on the chart, perched 17 places above Rihanna‘s ‘You Da One’ and 20 spots above MIA‘s ‘Bad Girls‘.

If this week’s tally is anything to go by, ROC are onto a winner.

We just hope ‘The Navy‘ are aware of the threat Rita poses to Rihanna on both a commercial and popularity front.

For with a voice Fenty just can’t touch, it’s won’t be long before Ora becomes the ‘go to girl’ for any in need of premium Pop pageantry, giving Rihanna and her microwave hits a run for their money.

But what do you think?

Does she have your support?

  4. luvly February 19, 2012

    Bwhahahahaha!! This Rihanna clone clown!! The Queen has nothing to be threatend by..TRUST!

  5. MsDrakeStaySnatchinWigs February 19, 2012

    YAASS at this b****! No wonder Riflopna has been looking so scared lately she know she has met her match.

  6. Kingphoenix February 19, 2012

    She is not a goat, she can sing and sing well…She coming for that number one spot, and she might have a chance after monday’s forecoming events!

  7. QueenOfTheNavy February 19, 2012

    So this is the girl people are saying is coming to slay the Queen.
    You guys must be higher than giraffe p**** if you think Rita could ever come for Rihanna. First off, she doesn’t have Rihannas likeability and second of all Jay knows where his money is at, he’ll always put Rihanna before any of his artists.

    So this Shakira clone can crawl back to whatever casting couch she crawled out of and sit right the f*** down!

  8. A Nu Day Has Come February 19, 2012

    No thank you! The same auto tune, poser formula! After Miss. Houston died, music is in the shitter! I’m sorry I may be so lame for this, but where are the “REAL SINGERS AT” ? The ones that can make you feel, not the ones that make you feel stupid!! No way is the s*** flying in the USA, keep this s*** right in the UK! Plus with her being under Jay! She may as well enjoy her small hit now, cuz we here in the USA are tired of the non singing b******!~!

  9. nicoyuki February 19, 2012

    She alright but she wont take Rhi Rhi’s spot. She doesn’t have the it factor like Rhi. She ,if anything is coming for Nicki wigs. I see her being hot in the Uk not so much the States. Because she doesn’t get a lot of play over here.

  10. BeyzuzDeliverTheLessorsFromTheirSins February 19, 2012

    TGJ better preach!
    roc nation is shady as s*** for this. This is almost like Young Money signing a female rapper who looked and sounded just like Nicki but was more talented.

    Riri u is on your way out.
    Beyonce & Rita for ever.

  11. nicoyuki February 19, 2012

    Like I said she wont do well in the States, keep her because don’t want her. Cher Lloyd might have a better chance with the pop crowd then her. She’s lacking something, I cant pinpoint it Bhutan she’s lacking

  12. JohnVidal February 19, 2012

    All these British mini ladies are so bad is not even funny! The same s*** music again and again…
    Of course the UK is forgiven cos of how great ones they also have: Adele and the rest. No wonder Adele is selling like nobody did since the 90´s cos there has been nobody doing real music and with a special voice like that since that decade. no wonder at all. She is just slaying like Whitney, Mariah or Celine did (well we´ll see if this lasts more than one album like with those 3 megastars or it doesn´t, but you know what I mean)

  13. grammy dammy sammy February 19, 2012

    lol at rihanna fans tryna soil her name, u know ur on ur way up when the hate is getting thick from the get go. exactly how much do u know about her to know she doesnt have it-factor or whatever. it’s convenient for u to say she’s missing an abstract. anywho yall go head talk that talk, Rita could do with the publicity afterall riri launched her career upon comparison as well.

  14. Kobain Forever February 19, 2012

    Tsch. You guys said Willow would take Rih’s place too when Whip My Hair dropped. Dig this talented chick thou. Wish her all the best. There’s place for everyone. As lovers of music, TGJ should understand that. Peace!

  15. DEDE February 19, 2012

    She has a nice voice but she reminds me of this hooker who lives near my house

  16. Teacher February 19, 2012

    and she isnt coming for rihanna she is trying to make her own spot! with every new girl people keep trying to say they are taking someones spot but that is not how it works! people buy whatever music they want people can like both!!!

    anyone have a download link for this song

  28. Vegas Girl February 20, 2012

    She sounds better than the little bit I heard from her on you tube previous. I can see her appeal to some and I do think Rihanna and Rita could possibly share an audience.

    Roc Nation doesn’t have to split hairs ( or finances) between these two ladies. Rihanna is managed by Roc nation, signed to Def Jam, Rita is signed to RocNation as her label so they don’t necessarily share the same pool of money for production and promo.

    Good luck to her.

  29. Vegas Girl February 20, 2012

    And congrats.

  30. Yellow Gorillah February 20, 2012

    LOOOOOORD

    AFTER 7 lng ass years you would think somebody would take rihanna down..If LADY GAGA could not do it.. Nicki Minaj,,,Willow Smith what makes you think rita would….BUT I see what people are saying about her she does have what it takes I’m A FAN! I just hav enot seen who she is yet?? + this sound is soooo 2010

  31. B February 21, 2012

    I Never heard of her, but she’s a pretty girl.

  32. SWEXY February 27, 2012

    im upset with Rihanna right now but seriously Rita is no RiHanna…sorry she is boring!!!
