Beyonce Bags 6th Week At #1

Published: Thursday 5th Apr 2012 by David

Whether you like it or not, there’s no escaping the power of a Beyonce single.

Sure, while the birth of her first child slowed things down on her latest LP’s promo front, the sales of her dance release ‘Love On Top’ are anything but damaged by the act’s well deserved break.

Not sure what we’re getting at?

Well, despite her absence from the stage, Knowles has spent six weeks atop Billboard’s Top Hip Hop & R&B charts with the upbeat jam, beating efforts by Usher and Rihanna.

Details below…

Released December 7th 2011, ‘Top’ has now reached Gold status in Italy and the US while going Platinum in Australia. This, coupled with its #1 spot on the US Hot Dance Club chart makes it one of the star’s highest selling cuts since 2008’s ‘Single Ladies‘.

Perched 3 spots above DietRita‘s ‘Birthday Cake’ and 2 spots above Usher‘s ‘Climax’, its domination comes months before her latest movie ‘A Star Is Born’ his theaters but 10 months after the release of ‘4‘, her fourth #1 album.

    R& B is dead…so does Bey’s fan. Hhahahhaa

  2. Girrrl April 5, 2012

    These fake charts are killing me. I’m waiting for her song to crack the top 50 on the hot 100 where the real competition lies. 🙂

  3. DCCHAMP April 5, 2012

    TGJ STAY ON BEY’S CLICK. THE ONLY REASON YOU HATE RIHANNA SO MUCH IS BECAUSE SHE IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE GAME THAT’S A DIRECT THREAT TO BEYONCE WHEN IT COMES TO THE R&B/POP CHARTS. GET OVER IT, BECAUSE RIH AINT GOING AWAY (LIKE SHE SAID IN LIVE YOUR LIFE)!!!!!

  4. DCCHAMP April 5, 2012

    EXACTLY @ GIRRL! TGJ HOLLA AT US THEN CLOWNS!!!

  5. KAT DELUNA FAN April 5, 2012

    Why are the goats ALWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYS the first one on Bey posts?smh
    Since when Goat in R&B ? 😯

    The song deserves this and more but she doesnt.She should be grateful she has this support

  6. grammy dammy sammy April 5, 2012

    the song picked at no 20 on hot 100 so wat nonsense r u talking

    and since when was RnB chart or other charts fake? .. well i dont blame u, the only thign in ur head is rihanna and the poison she feeds u u dont realise there’s a whole world out there.

    the song wasnt sent to pop radio, just urban and it’s doin great in that format, got great reviews, it’s a quality song, technically something these generic bishes could never handle in a recording studio much less live, when u brainwashed kiddies move on to the next momentarily hot chick, the Queen will still be here because genuine talent prevails, she doesnt need to put out dance music to get a top 10. she has nothing to prove to u brats. pick up a history book. the Queen has left her mark and will now as she pleases

  7. grammy dammy sammy April 5, 2012

    @DCCHAMP

    but rihanna is not a threat to anyone on RnB charts though, she doesnt release RnB music, infact im sure the only reason why cake is smashing on rnb format is because Chris is on it. these shows only nominate her in RnB field cus she’s black, they dont want her to compete with their precious Katy n keshas. musically Rihanna is not Bey’s competition,

  8. kingphoenix9 April 5, 2012

  18. Onyx April 5, 2012

    So now we celebrates Beyonce who is out of the Billboard hot 100 and ot Madonna who join her out of it, this site is a Beyonce Fansite.

  19. Oh Baby(B****** Will Deal) April 5, 2012

    the b**** slays without effort! now that’s a BOSS LADY!

  20. Bey Fan April 5, 2012

    The hottest R&B song tops the r&b charts…..sounds about right…

    Go Bey

  21. commanderofthedancefloor April 5, 2012

    good job bey its deffinetly one of the best songs off the album!

    the only thing i want to know is since we are counting the r&b charts for bey why dont we celebrate when you da one was #1 on the dance charts? im just saying it baffles me that just a few weeks ago there was a post about you da one flopping! but it was #1 on the dance chart or pop chart it was one of the two anyways and it also got #14 on billboard 100 but the haters were so quick to call it a flop? smh anything in the top 20 isnt a flop to me atleast!

    on another note why no post on how rihanna birthday cake is #3 on the chart and also in the top 40 of billboard without it being available for purchase it is just running off of radio airplay! if the label would get on this and just release it already riri would undoubtably have another top 10 possibly another #1!

  22. THE KILLER BEE April 5, 2012

    Um..lets b honest. The only songs that are topping the BB Hot 100 is dance techno pop songs or Adele songs. Thats why u have Katy, Rihanna and everybody else topping the charts with their follow the trend music. 4= No Follow The Trend Music. And @the idoit…LOT and BTINH both peaked n the top 20. LOT couldve been bigger. If she wouldve promoted it. LOL Why are @Mandonna Simply Minded Sad Delusional fans here. KING B IS THE TRUE QUEEN! She has more TALENT n her pinky than Mandonna whole Granny body. KING B doesnt have to follow trends to get hits. If ur a Queen. U should b making trends n music, not following them. Granny might as wrap it up, because the TRUE QUEEN will b bac next month! And she doesnt follow trends! She makes them! With TALENT!

  23. JAKE (KING BEY, QUEEN ADELE, EMPRESS GAGA, DUKE TIMBERLAKE & PRINCE USHER = 21ST CENTURY ICONS. #DEAL) April 5, 2012

    YOU GO KING BEY!!!!!!!

    YOUR THE ONLY ARTIST I KOW THAT CAN PRACTICALLY STAY HOME ALL DAY WITH HER FEET UP, WHILST SHE HAS AN ALBUM ON RELEASE, AND STILL SLAY THE CHARTS, NEWSPAPER AND BLOGS THE WORLD OVER…….

    WHEREAS, OTHER TALENTLESS B****** RECIEVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF HAVING THEIR SONG GRACE THE TOP OF THE POP CHARTS FOR “10 WEEKS” AND STILL CAN’T PUSH PAST 850,000 COPIES OF THEIR CURRENT ALBUM AFTER 5 MONTHS???????

    LOOOOOOOL!!!

    THE BEATLES,,,,RIHANNA SAYS TO KISSS HER AND HER NAVY’S ASS.

  25. THE KILLER BEE April 5, 2012

    Lol…..THE KING B got fans of the Lessers mad lmao. Talk to THE BEYHIVE once ur fav = VOICE, MOVES AND STAGE PRESENCE! I thought KING B’s last music performance was bac n August of last year promoting 4. But still she managed to go platnuim and still selling, while sitting on her ass. Other than Drake. She has had the R&B and Hip Hop Charts on lock since doing nothing. 4= R&B. This proves that KING B is one of THE GREATS OF MUSIC! No performances, no promotions and still selling and scoring number ones on Relevant Charts. ####TALK TO THE BEYHIVE ONCE UR FAV = VOICE, MOVES AND STAGE PRESENCE

  26. BLACKSTUD April 5, 2012

    I just can’t stop laughing when you come up with s*** like “The R&B chart be’s fake”. Just because the King is slayin’ yo fave’s ass red hot, then it’s fake now? Do you even know what Billboard Hot100 charts are based on? Mainstream Sales + Mainstream Airplay. Hip-Hop or Dance/Club has nothing to do with it.

    “Love on Top” is a motherfuckin’ smash, but on its own way.

    SMH = Sniff My Hole

    and YE$$, when a song stays for SIXTH consecutive weeks at number one on the N***** chart, then F*** Hot100.

  27. Lax April 5, 2012

    On forbes lists of top earners they have the list where
    #1 Gaga 90
    #2 T Swift
    #3 Katy
    #4 Beyonce and eve though Bey was with child she did great true enough
    But her clothes kine, her perfumes, her movies etc all of that adds to Beyonce’s bottom line. That is great seeing her make 35 Million not touring, BRITNEY MADE
    OVER 62 Million sitting on her Ass too, so to say. So compared to BRITNEY BEYONCE’S ASS IS DRAGING BEHIND AND SHES A KAAAAAAAAAANG. After RIHANNA GET OVER A DOZEN SOUNDTRACKS AND FIFETY ENDORSEMENTS AND HAVE TWENTY CLOTHES LINES ALL WORKING SMOOTHLY AND FIFETY
    PERFUMES SELLING GREAT AND GET HOOKED AND BOOKED WITH 4 ALBUMS WHICH HAS BEEN RELOADEDTO EQUAL TO 4 ALBUMS +5 = 9 ALBUMS WHAT IN THE FUKKKKKK CAN COMPARE WITH THAT?????? AND THEN MARRIED A MOGEL AND HE HAVE FIFETY PEOPLE (ARTIST) WORKING OVER-TIME FOR HIM ,,,THEY CAN SAY BEYONCE MADE A COOL 100 MILLION SITTING ON HER ASS AND NO ONE WOULD BE THE WWWWWISSSSSER, BYTCHES!!!!

  28. Lax April 5, 2012

    @TeamBrezzy

    No what is embarrassing is Chris having singles in the top 10 of the hot 100 yet his album has not reached 1 mil and it is over a year later, but 4 has with no singles in the top 10.

    So what does he do? Pull a Riri and try to release another album the following year, I guess he will change his hair color again and probably release a s** tape this time around to gain some sales.

    @Ink

    Yessss!!!!! Lol

  44. Inlovewithbey April 6, 2012

  46. alonzo wilson April 6, 2012

    “Point blank.com if Beyone was able to promote her album”4″ it would have and still would be selling close to what Adele has sold. Beyonce works hard as well as promote hard. Also I think “4″ is one of Bey’s better album she has done. I wish she would have release “Dance for You/Schoolin’ Life/I Was Here” as single”s too. “4″ was a great body of work and I’m disapointed it didn’t recieve better reconigintion of what it should have. Beyonce’s vocal’s was out of this world and the songs were amazing. Beyonce chose not to do the same ero pop autotune mess that most Rhianna/Katy/Ke$ha/Britney as others did with that autotune/studio sounds, Beyonce use raw vocals and didn’t necessary go for that club autotune/studio sounds. People like Beyonce/Monica/Brandy/Mary J. Bliege/JHud singing real without the help of autotune just seems to be push aside because they aren’t doing what seems tobe popular to the dance fame.”

  47. GG April 6, 2012

    The song sucks and so does she. She can’t sing for s***. She shrieks, screams and yells. She does not sing. She also STEALS songs and puts her name on them as if her ignorant ass wrote them.
