‘If You Love Me’: Lil Kim Makes Amazon Best Sellers Rank

Published: Thursday 10th May 2012 by David

2012 is shaping up to be Lil Kim’s year.

For, a number of false starts, the undisputed Rap icon has finally launched her long awaited comeback, kicking things off with her upcoming ‘Return Of The Queen‘ Tour and the well received jam ‘Keys To The City‘.

So, in what will silence any in doubt of her commercial power, the MC has landed a fresh feat recently with her buzz single ‘If You Love Me’.

Indeed, the single now marks her highest ranking effort since 2009 on Amazon’s Best Sellers Rank, which tallies the company’s highest selling paid  MP3 products by the hour.

Find out where ‘If You Love Me’ came in on the list below…

#148,651 

Sitting above ‘I Am Not The One‘ (194,612), ‘If You Love Me‘ marks Kim’s highest solo score since ‘La Bella Mafia‘s ‘Magic Stick’ which sits at # 5,774.

Ironically, despite the attention it garnered, the Rapper’s 2009 release ‘Download’  comes in at #384,432, marking her lowest recorded effort in the last decade.

Elsewhere, her 1996 release ‘Crush On You’ remains one of the company’s highest selling releases by a Female Rapper, perched at #11,564.

However, fans may not so pleased to know that Nicki Minaj’s ‘Stupid ‘Hoe’,which was directed at Jones, has sold more paid downloads in five months than ‘Crush’ has in 16 years- ranking at #756 while her ‘Starships’ comes in at an impressive #9.

    This is so shady, I’m not even gonna go in. Flop Juice is trying Lil Kim. Starships has stayed on the Billboard Charts top 10’s since it’s release 3 months ago. Still think the song should die down tho.

  5. Joseph McCoy May 10, 2012

    This post was just stupid and childish…

  6. NaturalBEAUTY May 10, 2012

  10. Kevin May 10, 2012

    at this point I just visit this site to laugh at it.

    THIS is supposed to “silence any in doubt of her commercial power?” <– this shows that she has LITTLE commercial power.

    This s*** is disgusting and the track literally went FLATSCREEN.

  11. kingphoenix May 10, 2012

    @Kevin

    @Sam is clearly poking fun at Kim, do you not understand how to shade?

  12. NICK May 10, 2012

  13. BEEZ IN DA TRAP May 10, 2012

    ROTFLMMFAO!! wait wait wait i can’t stop laughing at TGJ. THE SHADE IS SO THICK. Now watch the krimlin’s take the bait. LMMFAO… GO KIMMY!! even tho you’re in reverse. Nicki is headed in the right direction. GO NICKI!!

  14. kingphoenix May 10, 2012

    @Beez in da Trap

    Lmfao!. “Its going down, Kim sales”

  15. Mickie May 10, 2012

    So this post was basically made to shade Kim and just throw in Nicki’s numbers?

    Bunch of unprofessional asswipes.

  16. Nats May 10, 2012

    This was all kinds of shade. Love u TGJ!!! Lololololol

  17. ImMadAsHell May 10, 2012

    Why ya’ll slow asa kids comparing Kim 4th cd, when she couldn’t even promote it. To Nicki 2nd cd who haven’t gone gold yet, & she promote the hell out of it. Nicki I thought it was going to change music.

    Let’s compare NK who went platinum in a month. To PFRR who can’t go gold in a month. B**** your the only one out, What happen? Are the Brabz broke ass b******. Maybe Thatgrapejuice should buy more. I know your reord company can’t be happy & Baby & then can’t be happy either since they have to make up the difference.

  18. truth (SLAYER OF DAHOTNIG) May 10, 2012

    LOLOL TGJ YALL SHADY B****** LOLOL

  19. Mr.Geezy May 10, 2012

    Props to Lil Kim the hard work is paying off.

  20. Liya May 10, 2012

    @NATURALBEAUTY Nicki new album is not even gold yet and she had all that promotion.Nicki flopped.

  21. NaturalBEAUTY May 10, 2012

    @IMMADASHELL Haha b**** please! Show me the receipts! You know damn well NK did not go platinum in a month or even 3! That album has only sold 3 million since its release 12 years ago! You Kim stans stay reaching to infinity & beyond!

  22. Raven May 10, 2012

    @MONSTERHIVE Starships is not even a rap song.Why compare them?

  23. OpD2 May 10, 2012

    Sam you bad bad person lol.

  24. Keisha May 10, 2012

    @K-POFF Those tracks weren’t even singles and it still charted with no promo.In order for Nicki to sell her music has to stay in constant rotation on the radio.That a fail to me.

  25. mONSTERHIVE May 10, 2012

    @RAVEN Stop making excuses for Lil Kim. Fine, let’s get technical in this b****. Let’s leave Starships out of the equation, lets bring up some “hip hop” songs by Nicki. Moment 4 Life stayed on Billboard Hot 100 at number 13, & was #1 on Billboard’s Hip Hop charts. Did It On’em landed at number 48 with hardly any promo and #3 on Billboard’s Hip Hop charts. Superbass alone single handedly slayed the charts for months (though it might not be “hip hop” enough). Lil Kim has never done that boo.

  26. CRUSH May 10, 2012

    BTW THAT GRAPE JUICE. THE INTERNET WASNT POPPING OFF LIKE IT IS NOW 16 YEARS AGO….FAIL. DO SOME DAMN RESEARCH.

    I can’t believe y’all can’t even tell that this is sarcasm!! It’s obviously poking fun at Kim and it was absolutely hilarious.. Until the part that mentions “Stupid h**” selling more paid downloads than “Crush on You” in 16 years. Well duh! That song was hott before paid downloads were invented. Other than that this was pretty funny.

    I hope this website gets sued for tarnishing a reputation of a celebrity. This website is a F****** DISGRACE to Journalism. Grow up, you ignominious f****!

    As if Lil’ Kim has to prove anything right now, when she’s solidified as an Icon in the Hip-Hop industry? She’s not even signed yet, and when she is, and when she comes back, you will all be eating your own words. F*** this website!

  45. Deveal2014 May 10, 2012

    @Dahoeassnig Suck my d*** b****. I don’t argue with you internet loser/h*** ass nig especially over h*** I don’t know. fix your career & your face. Lil kim & nicki minaj are rich. You just a ratchet dude .figure it out clown

  46. BEEZ IN DA TRAP May 10, 2012

    But wait, I had to read this SHADE again just to be clear. The set-up of the shade was such a sneaky move. Sam got the krimlin’s on here scrambling for excuses and I’m howling. This s*** is so funny. They thought he was really bragging on Lil’Kim until they read it all. Will somebody please get Sam’s ass off this blog cus if i pull a muscle laughing at this s*** i’m sueing. LMMFAO… The way he set that shade up tho. SHAAAAAAAAAAAADE

  47. Bey Fan May 10, 2012

    this is pure comedy…..i know Lil Kim fans might be a little “piffed” about it, but I gotta give it to Sam…. this s*** is hilarious….

    Not taking nuttin away from Lil Kim… and not trying to get caught in the nicki and kim battle…but when i tell you I laughed at this s*** so f****** hard….Sam you had a n**** rollin

    d-mn sam this was the best one yet,the set up and the execution was epic, i am not usually a person the f-ck with the bullsh!t but this one got even me laughing.

  49. Black Barbie Doll May 10, 2012

    Charts are Charts. Lil’ Kim is still a multi-talented female rap legend and pioneer. she is not with a LABEL right now. Nicki has a machine behind her, Nicki came out in THIS generation, Nicki makes POP music so obviously shes going to have more digital downloads e.t.c stop comaring a veteran to a newcomer.

    You’re an IDIOT if you think Superbass was even remotely hip hop. That was some Ke$ha/Katy Perry ish. If that’s the case, Fergie is the first female rapper to have a solo no.1 on the Hot 100. #BOOM

  51. Black Barbie Doll May 10, 2012

    The way you overrate Nicki you may aswell call Justin Beiber the King Of Pop and go in on Michael Jackson on a daily basis.
    you stay on Kims P**** too hard all these h*** doo !

  52. Black Barbie Doll May 10, 2012

    KIM kept her s*** RAP/HIP-HOP and was still winning !! she never turned to POP. Kim was still a Barbie who could SPIT RHYMES and had ACTUAL TALENT something nicki can only dream of. She’s only hot right now because she’s attractive and she dresses like Lady Gaga everyday.. cuz she’s not INTERESTING.

  53. neena May 10, 2012

    why even bring up nicki minaj name in a lil kim article sam? smdh these blogs always trying to start up dust. let nicki do her POP thing.. and let kim do her RAP thing.

  54. BLACK MADONNA May 10, 2012

  56. aunt.dot May 10, 2012

    meanwhile nicki 2 album still stuck to aluminum status.. Notorious KIM was platinum during this time after it was released..

    REAL TALK..

  57. TheDylaness May 10, 2012

    Okay 1st off this is illiterately incorrect because you know that’s not even a high amazon rating.2nd it is so disrespectful to call out any other artist like in any kind of negative way because weather old or new they have to WORK To get any success.I AM NOT A STAN 4 Anybody.3rd it’s irrelevant to compare an album that came out 16 years ago to one that just came out between 2 different artist because the industry has changed.It’s more about selling singles than albums ,which is why nicki’s album isn’t gold yet ,rihanna’s is gold,& beyonce’s is platinum.4th kim isn’t on a major label anymore so 4 people to compare them in that way is irrelevant .5th if your going to compare there albums sells from when they both started all these records people keep talking about aren’t making sense because from my understanding in albums they ‘re debuts Kim’s sold 3 million worldwide.Nicki’s sold 2 mili “as heard in Come On A Cone & Facts”.So in albums kim beats nicki so far ,remeber this is only nicki’s 2nd album.In singles Nicki Beats Kim but this is usually a singles artist world nowadays, either way they’re both talented & i respect them both ,& i Wish SUCCESS!

  58. Tren May 10, 2012

    I find it funny that Nicki has stans yet she could give 2 cents about her fans. You fight for her daily yet she shades the hell out of her fans.

    Lets be real. Kim has been independent for how long now. That means no promotion no payola no nothing. So of course Nicki will outsell her current achievement. But lets talk about the millions Nicki label is spending to promote her yet her album is falling faster than Mc Donalds through my stomach #s***

    Kim hasn’t released an album since Bella yet you stand including CopyPaste.Net follow her every move.

    Sit

  59. I Judge Flops May 10, 2012

    I ALMOST DIED LAUGHING.

    WHY DID THEY DO LIL KIM LIKE THIS?

    LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FLOP THAT IS PINK FRIDAY: ROMAN FLOPED

  61. ImMadAsHell May 11, 2012

    Nicki d**** having, can’t perform to save her life, time as come & gone. Only b**** out. Her record company is paying the radio to shadfe other artist & paying to make up the different from her low sells. I wonder if they going to put 30 yr old Nicki back on the shelf.

  62. kind2god May 11, 2012

    ima turn the grapejuice in as spam…. lil kim shits all over this website…. yall better watch it cuzz you know kimr olls with dudes that will shoot you…

  63. Greg May 11, 2012

    I’m quite positive at this point that Nicki’s new LP is a joke & the only “Stupid H***” she’s referring to are the dumbass hoodrats who are actually buying her crap music

    && seriously, no shade intended, Nicki is getting that money foreal foreal foreal foreal, soo the jokes on you stupid h*** putting $$ in her pocket.. She don’t give a f*** about ya’ll 😛

  64. Owen May 25, 2012

    That last part about Nicki was really unnecessary. Back in 1996 who was buying music on Amazon M**? **Crickets**

    Not a bad slot for a 16 year classic. How many classics does Nicki have? Oh wait.. my mistake. She has none.

  65. Isaac December 18, 2013

    Its been certified gold which means it has obviously sold 500k get your facts boo boo
