Success: Rita Ora Scores Second Week Atop UK Chart

Published: Sunday 20th May 2012 by David

She’s done it again!

Yes, sure to give her even more to celebrate this week, Pop upstart Rita Ora is now enjoying her second week atop the UK singles chart with ‘RIP’.

Details below…

Beating Tulisa‘s ‘We Are Young’ and Rihanna‘s ‘Where Have You Been‘ to the top spot, the single makes Ora the first ROC artist to see her debut single reach #1 in its first week of release and remain there for a second week.

Her reign on the chart comes after a star studded week, which saw her hit London’s ‘Whisky Mist with Rob Kardashian on Sunday, dine with Kim Kardashian days later and party with aspiring singer Rihanna last night.

Rihanna, being the original act intended to record the Drake penned  single for her 2009 LP ‘Rated R’, but rejected it along with a cut named ‘Saxon’ written by Nicki Minaj.

    I SWEAR – I’M FROM THE U.K & I THINK I AM PROBABLY THE ONLY PERSON IN MY COLLEGE WHO ACTUALLY “HATES” THIS SONG.

    YES SHE CAN SING, BUT THIS SONG HAS NO “DYNAMICS” TO IT WHAT-SO-EVER. IT’S AS BORDERLINE-BASIC AS THE REST.

    RIHANNA’S WORST SINGLE >>>>>>>>>>>>> THIS S***!!!

    NONETHELESS, GOOD FOR HER.

    Now I wanna see people who used to say:
    “her music is boring”
    “she is not gonna make it”
    “she is a rip off”

      Do you see her charting anywhere else besides the U.K?? The girl is local.

      • ENOUGH ONIKA May 20, 2012

        LOL!!!! When and where has she “made it” other than were she came from? The US market don’t give a sh*t about Rita, we got enough “Rita’s” (untalented, blonde Beyonce/Rih clones) as it is, we ain’t got room for that nor do we care.

  6. KatyCat: Bow to Slayty Perry May 20, 2012

    TGJ, yall hyping her up as the next big thing but no one outside of the U.K is checking for Rita. Her songs only chart in 3 countries lmao. And yall really thing she will be coming for Rihanna’s wig? Thats reaching. Girl cant even snatch Jessie J’s wig

  7. Rita ora is the future May 20, 2012

  8. RIH4LIFE May 20, 2012

    Where is it on the US Hot 100 tho? Isn’t that what you typically use to measure a song’s success? …. *sips*

    • TerenceBarber May 20, 2012

      It hasn’t been released in the US yet. ‘How We Do’ is going to be her first single over there.

      • James227 May 20, 2012

        I already download How We Do from US itunes yesterday

  9. Cockiness May 20, 2012

  10. KINGB May 20, 2012

    WHYB IS NOT RELEASED IN UK YET

  11. D.Strock May 20, 2012

    Lord, if there were a TGJ post every week Rihanna had a #1 single on some chart, you know you’d all be busted. I mean good for Rita, but I don’t need to hear about it every time she’s on the charts.

  12. Navy cult is mad that Rita and Rihanna are friends May 20, 2012

    Damn, didnt rita anf rihanna make nice just last nite??? Rihanna punkass navy in here hating already. Dont say nothing when Im all up in rihanna post you bitchass haters.

    • WILD DEBUTANTE May 20, 2012

      OK….but where in this post is there a blatant Rihanna Navy member saying any of those things?? shut up.

  13. mindgames May 20, 2012

    haters can step down please 🙂

  14. SOUTH AFRICA NAVY May 21, 2012

    This song is going to be forgotten pretty soon. Its quite bland. Its obvious that Roc Nation is buying her singles. And I’m not hating since they also buy Ri’s albums (US only) first week to bring up sales.

  15. Black Barbie Doll May 22, 2012

    I really like her ! but she needs BETTER songs.. she needs urban BANGERS not this slow dubstep s*** ! but congrats on your no.1 RITA !
