It has certainly been Taylor Swift‘s week. For, not only did she see her name etched in history books for being the first female act to sell 1 million copies of a single album in one week twice, she has now notched her 56th (yes, you read that right) entry on Billboard’s Hot 100.
How, you ask? Well, with 4 top 10 singles from her most recent album ‘Red’ (‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’, ‘Red’, ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’, ‘Begin Again’), Swift just added 5 new titles to the Hot 100 – bringing her tally to 9 entries from one album simultaneously.
But, she’s not the only one celebrating this week. Ke$ha, Rihanna, and Chris Brown have all seen considerable gains on the singles front. Read about it all below:
Via Billboard:
Pop princesses Ke$ha and Rihanna have seen their respective singles ‘Die Young’ and ‘Diamonds’ shine on the charts, recently moving up into the top 5 (#4 and #5 respectively). Notching her 23rd top 10 single, the Barbadian beauty also celebrated tying Whitney Houston‘s top 10 chart run this week.
And, while the ladies are running the charts, crooners Ne-Yo and Chris Brown should not be counted out. Indeed, Brown notches his second top 10 from his latest set ‘Fortune’ with ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ (#10) – a song that has steadily moved up charts despite minimal recent promotion.
As Ne-Yo’s ‘Let Me Love You’ sits tight at #9, other notable moves are Alicia Keys’ ‘Girl On Fire’ blazing up from 47-28 and Nicki Minaj’s ‘Va Va Voom’ revving back up charts at #98.
But, it’s this week queen of charts Taylor Swift who has most reason to celebrate. For, with notching her 56th entry on Billboard’s Hot 100 this week (and 300k more sold of her ‘Red’ album), she ties Queen of Pop Madonna and legendary R&B vocalist Dionne Warwick for females with most Hot 100 chart appearances.
Madonna, however, still reigns as the queen of Billboard’s top 10, with 38 to her name, Madge has more top 10 singles than any artist in Billboard history – including Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, and Elvis Presley.
See this week’s top 10 below (# in parenthesis indicates last week’s position):
1. (1) Maroon 5: ‘One More Night’
2. (2) Psy: ‘Gangnam Style’
3. (3) fun.: ‘Some Nights’
4. (5) Ke$ha: ‘Die Young’
5. (8) Rihanna: ‘Diamonds’
6. (6) Justin Bieber ft. Big Sean: ‘As Long as You Love Me’
7. (15) Bruno Mars: ‘Locked Out of Heaven’
8. (7) Alex Clare: ‘Too Close’
9. (9) Ne-Yo: ‘Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)’
10. (11) Chris Brown: ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’
Congrats.
Taylor Swift is GARBAGE! She cant sing & she is LOCAL , I bet her album won’t do s*** ww 😕 🙂
FISTopher is STILL a flop with the STRUGGLING “Fortune” &
Queen Rih is still slaying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 😉
I don’t like Taylor, but I don’t think she’s worried about being a local act. Her albums usually sell 5 million in US alone. 5 f****** million. It’s more than some “international” superstars do in the entire world.
@GILBERTO,,,,,, Rih’s navy Officer “LAX” says that International super star Rihanna,,,,,,say 1million is something to at least R can look forward to Since this Seems to be
something that Beyonce has never, Ever done. Now that Taylor have done so great that is something Rihanna and others can at least be Inspired to do, Would’nt you think
Gilberto, Hive and Haters.
LOL! Are you kidding? Taylor’s “local” album will still altogether outsell any album Rihanna comes out with. When you have the U.S. on lock to the degree that Taylor has, being called “local” is no insult. Europe and the UK is just additional icing. Unlike Rihanna, Taylor doesn’t have to depend on additional sales from other territories to barely make up the difference from what she doesn’t sell in America, because in America she sells…massively. Your girl can’t say that. Out of six albums, only one Rihanna album is multiplatinum in the U.S. And that only went 2x platinum. Taylor averages 5-6x platinum in the US alone. Do you REALLY think that her label would swap her for Rihanna? LMAO!
Take a seat.
YOU FAT ASHY H**!
Queen Rih is INTERNATIONAL, something Taylor will NEVA be! Shes only relevant in the US 🙂 😕
Speak Now sold 5 MILLION ww with 4.2 m sold in the US, LOCAL H**!!!!!
She will NEVA be on Qeen Rihs level, ANNND the H** JUST now got a #1 on the Hot 100 🙁
Taylor is a LOCAL STAR! Why does the term anger you so much? 🙂 😕
THE GREAT LACEFRONCE speaks nothing but the truth.
@THE GREAT LACEFRONCE
B****, please! 1 million albums sold is 1 million albums sold no matter where the sales come from. Taylor Swift sells more than R******. It’s a fact. According to you, R****** has the “support” of the entire world, but she can’t sell as much as a “local” act. LOL. Stop with this local b*******. Speak Now sold over 4 million in US, 1 million more than Talk That Flop sold in the entire world. Who’s winning? Who’s making more money? TAYLOR!
Good for all of them and while they are all artist in their
own right the #1 spot is always going to be covered by one person and that is Taylor for now let Taylor get her shine on Goodness Shes a artist and a good one. Rihanna is International ACT Bey Hive and the best Proof of Rihanna being International
Act look no further then the last two years of Rihanna
Winning “The Internationl Best Artist Award” Bey Hive can you handle that?
@GILBERTO For once yo ass got something right bless yo hating Ass pea head soul, you want to find something to try and take digs at Rihanna about well Rihanna has never sold a Million but then neither has Beyonce, Deery. So its safe to say that Sweet Taylor Rihanna’s Friends beat Beyonce’s Ass also. And to tell you the truth now all of a sudden it’s all about sales in the Us.
I have been around the world three times GILBERTO, and
twice by row boat and of all the Birds I have seen in a Lifetime You “BUZZARDS” from that Beyonce Bey Hive Beats All!
Don’t blow a fuse Bey Hive Taylor sold more then Beyonce did in 2009 and Rihanna was no place on the charts to be seen and the Navy did not loose it .
Talk That Talk sold over 4.5 million as of early 2012. Right now, it could be seated anywhere between 5 to 6 million.
Bey Hive,,,,haters why you get so mad over Taylor Win
@GILBERTO.
Rihanna feature on Eminem’s “Lthyl” has sold a cool
5-million in the US Bey Hive & Rih Haters
And since You want to fight all of the dam time what then,,,about Rihanna’s win with 20Million sold in the UK along
OH!!!!!!!! FORGIVE ME,,,,,That’s Right the UK don’t Count Until
or Unless its anybody, Even “Roger Rabbit” anybody other than Rihanna, Right Bey Hive, Hater,,,
The only sales in the UK that Counts is those sales made by BEYONCE and when Bey’s sales or at Rock
Bottom the UK had better Fall the F** back out of the way because the BEY HIVE Ain’t having no dam UK sales ,,,
Where it shows Beyonce’s Ass all the way up even though Beyonce has dropped 4 albums and PRESSED, SQUEEZED, MASHED 9 More albums with Re-Releases
for a total of a Cazillion more album TOTAL THEN RIHANNA 6 ALBUMS,,,and still can’t seem to get ahead of Rihanna or even Catch Rihanna’s Ass for that matter.
http://acharts.us/performer/beyonce
Shyt if there was a way the Bey Hive could Figure out a way that that dam UK would stop writing articles on Madonna being the Biggest singles seller ever in the UK and printing it in bold Print that Rihanna’s Ass is in the #2 Biggest Seller Spot and if the Bey Hive Could Somehow figure
out a way to stop that Navy Bytch “LAX” and them other navy officers from posting links to
RIHANNA’S ASS DOING GOOD AND Them Other mofo navy folks from telling the truth about Rihanna’s sales as compared to Beyonce Sells then the Bey Hive would be some Happy Campers.
@LACE FRONT UR ARE RIGHT ON,,,,, And see how they run see how GILBERTO has rose up to try and make you Take it back, and you Speak the Truth, that is what I mean when I say they will never ever want to read, see or hear the truths Spoken on/about Lil Ms Sunshine, I wonder Why?Navy
@BEY HIVE,,,,
SINGLES,,,,IN THE UK 2010
http://chartrigger.b*******.com/2010/12/uks-40-best-selling-singles-of-2010.html
Save your silly spin, because no one is buying it. You and I both know that Rihanna’s “international” sales aren’t going to do half of what Taylor is going to do in America alone. Rihanna would shave her testicles to have an album do the kind of business Taylor’s new one will.
@GRANDROSE,, ,,,,STFU
BILLBOARD NAMED RIHANNA IN THAT #2 SPOT BEHIND ADELE LAST YEAR, DEERY!
No matter how yall slice it rihanna still doing the dam thing, now Rihanna Haters Will try with all their might to try and sweep Rihanna wins in the Pass under the Rug, amazing….Weathr it’s large or small,,,Haters Hates Rihanna just that much,,,,,,
for the last two years Rih has Won the International Artist Award and she already have them in Her Gift Bag so there’s no need to get yo Drawers all in a bunch the truth shall/will set you free.
Speak now has sold over 5.5 million!
i cant believe te garbage you fans come up with.. go get a life kids
She has more talent than Rihanna and the numbers always tells the truth so stop!!!
“We Are Never Ever Getting Back” Together will be back in the top 5 next week. It was out this week because of the “Complete The Album” feature on iTunes… and sold -83K copies. But the song is strong on radios… so it’ll be hard for SIa’s “Diamonds” to be #5 again.
Congrats on your outstanding album Taylor.
Wat kinda world do we live in tht rihanna would tie whitney houston in anything?! Aside frm being blk females with 7 letters in their first names, lol, thats abt it!!!
No one gave two shits about Whiney 11 months ago. So shut up.
@Mark
This is the problem with legends. They aren’t respected and praized as they should when they are alive, but they are immediately transformed into gods after their deaths. It’s sad, but it’s true.
er i did so fail and i know many people that did
i always loved the Voice!
@GILBERTO
@ADC143
@KING Z
None of you three “Looney Tunes Clowns” make any kind of Logical sense. Its just like in one sense you want to hold Rihanna down but you praise Taylor, WHICH is fine but when Adele was breaking ever record in the book many always used Rihanna as the Guide Post but Rih isn’t the Guide Post Beyonce is and adele beat, and mopped the floor with all of their asses both dead and alive so how DID IT all os a Sudden become between Rihanna who many of you haters alwasys say can’t sing, dance or perform but you PRAISES EACH AND EVERYTHING BEYONCE DOES So would’n it be Normal to say Beyonce instead of Rihanna Or were all of you Lying when you say Rihanna isn’t, can’t want do something???Make up yo Puckin Minds, Ass Wipes.
In another sense you want to Praise that Rita chick and make Her better then Rihanna because of your BLATANT Hate for Rihanna.
And in another sense you very same “Low Life’s” are always trying to tear Rihanna a New One and will build up a “Toliet Stool” and call it great just to keep Rihanna’s name in the mud.
Taylor is the first female to do this and that is a huge accomplishment and she’s worthy to be praised for it, but it’s not the Navy tearing RIHANNA down its the Bey Hive and Rih Haters bringing Rihanna’s name into the mix which is good as always but to try and tear Rihanna’s Accomplishments down is a “MOFO NO, NO” BUM BYTCHES.
Oh please put a sock in it. Even some members of the navy on twitter say you’re delusional and seriously need to get some professional help.
If it makes you feel any better I think BOTH Rihanna and Taylor Swift are ABSOLUTE garbage. The music world will be better off when both those talentless hacks lose popularity.
Personal drama pushed the Chris Brown and Rihanna songs.
Whitney cannot be compared to anyone. She was NOTCHING top 10’s when people couldn’t by them with the click of a button and b****** didn’t have 360 deals.
She ties nothing.
I agree. The Voice was/is everything.
The Chris brow might have pushed Rihanna
tell Us what has held Beyonce back since She’s Drama free, came in on the backs of a Group, has had her dad and family support all the way , has never had any scandals
in other words Since Beyonce can do it all , best poll dancer ever, best performer, ever, most liked ever, best looking ever best love ever Always ACTS like a Lady even when Her short legs is Spread and Gapped to Perfection as wide as she can get them toward the crowd shes performing for Why have she not done what Taylor has done Bey Hive and R Haters??????,,,
@LAX the Beyhive know it’s not our place to be all up in this post making it about Bey just like you shouldn’t make it about Rih so stop and go back to your bird watching since its all you do with your life…
SPEAK GURRRRR!
because of retards like you that don’t appreciate real talent!
Nicki Minaj’s ‘Va Va Voom’ revving back up charts at #98.
^Shade
Madonna and Whitney! even if these young girls break their records, it by NO MEANS make them better! Madonna and Whitney are the POP STANDARD for females – performance, stage shows, and voice.
katy perry, rihanna, taylor swift, ke$ha, gaga can and will NEVER get to these ladies levels
I take solace in the fact that none of these girls will ever sale hundred of ALBUMS the way Madonna and Whitney have, and therefore will never match or beat their sales records. All the Rihanna’s and Kesha’s and Gaga’s and Katy’s of the world do is sell singles…and single sales aren’t as impressive as album sales.
* hundreds of millions of albums, I meant.
You left Beyonce out on purpose which shows you know wtf you’re talking about. Whitney, Mariah, Madonna, Janet & Beyonce are the standard.
SHUT THE F*** UP BEYONCE AIN’T S*** HE DIDN’T HAVE TO NAME HER IF HE DIDN’T WANT TO HAVE A F****** SEAT S*** FACE
@BEY HIVE WHO IS ALWAYS CHANGING THEIR NAMES
BEYONCE’S ASS IS NO WHERE CLOSE TO THE BIG GIRLS EITHER, I’D SAY THAT KATY, R, TAYLOR, KE$HA, AND GAGA IS CLOSER TO DOING THING ‘S ON A BIG LEVEL ARE WAAAAY AHEAD OF BEYONCE WITH THEIR LATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS,
PS
THEY JUST SHOWED MADONNA BEING THE BIGGEST SELLER EVER AND WHO’S NUMBER 2 RIGHT BEHIND HER.
Records show that Rihanna have got 11 number 1’s and got them at a much younger Age then Mariah got Her 11 number 1’s…
Records show that Rihanna has sold 20Million in the UK
Where is Beyonce?
Record show that Rihanna have got 5 number 1’s in five Consecutive years in the Uk and that have not been done since Elvis did it back in the 50-60
Records show that Rihanna Receives Artist of the Decade by BB award for the years between 2005-2006 she was #17 on their list of 20.
Records Show that Rihanna has over 47.5 Million Digital Download Sales and is the Biggest Digital Seller, in
His-To-Rih
Records show that Rihanna was listed among the Artists who was named Artist of the Century by Q Magazine back in 2009 in the UK,,,,
Records show that Rihanna have receiver 18 Billboard awards
Records show that Billboard has named RIHANNA QUEEN OF POP FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS, TWO DECADES AND HOW/WHERE IS BEYONCE COMPETING AT???????????????????????????????
And this is just the tip of the ICEBRUG, The other Artist can all speak for themselves Since RIHANNA IS ALWAYS SEEN AS THE UNDERDOG BY HER HATERS AND BEYONCE’S BEY HIVE.
BILLBOARD NAMED BEYONCE ARTIST OF THE MILLENNIUM!!! I rest my case…
Still makes no sense to me. She hasn’t had 56 songs so how has she made 56 entries on 1 chart. I don’t get it. Did 9 songs keep coming and going off the chart 56 times? If that’s the case billboard is digging to make up stories that should not be compared to Madonna, Whitney or Mariah.
Furthermore, whomever writes for this blog, I WISH they would stop starting sentences with the word “For”, and start using “have” and “has” correctly!
Well, basically almost all her songs debuted on the Hot 100 due the strong digital downloads. She also had some songs from soundtracks, live albums and other stuff. It’s very plausible that it really happened. I know it may sounds weird, but you should remember that we’re living in the digital single era. Something similar happened to Glee. They have +200 entries on the Hot 100.
Beyonce is Supposed to be the golden girl who can pop her Pus Longer and Harder then any of them , I wonder why Beyonce have not Reached this goal? Bey Hive?
Rihanna has never claimed to be the biggest and the best and Yet there’s never any POSITIVIY on are about the chick and Shes a Black SISTA from the Islands, RIHANNA did not come to take your Lover are your Pet, EVEN THOUGH many of you have tried to HOOK HER up with Every Man she has come into Contact with Dead or alive its simply beyond Stupid the way many of you acts a dam fool day in and day out., Over Rih;s Career, Move’s
I mean it hurts my heart to think that just maybe, and I hope that I am wrong, but could it be that all of this time being Here with Rihanna’s Navy is just not Needed since We are Dealing with a Group of “Bat Crazy” Beyonce Fans who are all as Nutty As A Dam Fruit Cake with extra Nutts
Added to the Mix?
@GILBERTO,,,,GIves Credit to Taylor for her Digital Sales
and tries to bare back a ride off Rihanna for being the BIGGEST DIGITAL SELLER IN THE His-to-Rih of digital sales ever, see what I am Saying these Bey Hive keep the FIYAH Lite and Burning Brightly Under Rihanna and Her Hustle, GOTTTTTA LOVE THE HIVE AND HATERS!!!
Speaking of “SOUNDTRACK” Taylor had one of the longest running soundtracks ever for one of the Biggest Movies this pass Summer, AND BEYONCE has songs on/Oor around somewhere in the neighborhood of a dozen Sound Tracks Shes Getting Paid for while work is slow and Shes Sitting on her ass doing nothing and getting Paid as the Bey Hive Loves to Brag about. The Hive loves saying that Rihanna and others have to work to get their Net Growth in money while Beyonce sits on her Ass doing nothing and makes just as much, I will tell you bragggin isn’t Good at all.
Taylor made 57 Million this pass year the chick is paid! and that is great But then so is Rih, Rih!
But,,,,,When you Compare Beyonce Less Say aganist Britney and Jessica Simpson as far as setting on your asses doing nothing these Chick Out Guns Beyonce’s Ass all the way around in their Business Sales as Compared to Beyonce Something the Hive always want to do a Comparision of Rihanna with Beyonce’s net worth…..When you compare Beyonce to Rihanna Bey will always come out on top money wise but compare Beyonce to Chicks on Her Level so to say then Beys Ass drags way behind, its so easy to pick on Rihanna because Rih is just getting Warmed up and ALREADY Rihanna is compared to Bey more then any of the Black Artist and Never to the White Artist I wonder Why Bey Hive,,,with you ScumBag Asses,,,,
WOW, Congratulations to Taylor Swift, this is amazing especially in these times. If this album is done well, she could do Adele numbers through out the year, Good Job.
Also love the fact that Diamonds has moved up in the charts to enter the Top 5 with no video, no promo. Rihanna, who has sold 37 million albums worldwide and 142 million digital tracks world wide (verified by reputable media organization with highly qualified staff and an untainted reputation VOGUE and also verified by LiveNation), Rihanna keeps on cementing her name in the HISTORIH books. Love her.
Also big ups to Fistopher Brown for entering the top ten. I guess this proves once again that Rihanna’s name not only pays Samantha’s electric bill and Davidina’s minimum wage cheque, it also gives people a top ten hit.
Can I also add that Kendrick Lemar did over 200K first week and is seated comfortably on the #2 spot. This once again proves that Black people are only interested in rap albums, they don’t care about RnB but that is an issue for another topic.
Big ups to Ne-Yo and Justin Bieber too. I am very satisfied with the charts this week, they’ve been good.
” If this album is done well, she could do Adele numbers through out the year, Good Job.”
She won’t.
DEAD @ 37 million albums worldwide and 142 million digital tracks world wide
I p*** my pants everytime you post this s*** here. LOL.
They are FACTS though. You accepted DefJam’s 12 million but you refuse to accept DefJam’s 37 million. You’re not credible, you’re a cherry picker.
Did I say that I accepted 12 million? HELL NO, b****! Don’t put words in my month like you do with c** in yours. I just proved that DefJam was lying using their own words! That’s why I called “Gilberto’s ‘Getting B****** Lying’ Class.” I can’t. You’re so dumb to think that I believe on the s*** DefScam says. DEAD.
You’re dumb and now illiterate.
* Don’t put words in my mouth… :/
BEY HIVE & RIH’S HATERS,,,,,
GOT THE nerves to Question something that a person who is Thinking with a Dam Working BRAIN,,, HAS TO SAY Gotta Love Rihanna haters and that bey hive who wants beyonce to be the only chick working and getting paid! Beyonce ass is going to have to BRING IT ALL OR NOTHING when ever she drops new anything because Rihanna, Gaga, Taylor, Katy, Jlo, and Others have set that Bar Really High this time around.
bar is high for quantity but the quality and talent bar is really low
Itunes is the only reason for so many of these untalented artists getting this kinda success.
Agree. We need to kill iTunes and make folks go back to the record store. Then we’ll see if people think having their music is worth the effort.
@ADC143 – I was thinking the same thing the other day. Take away downloading and iTunes and force people to have to go out and BUY music.
@THEMAN & ADC143,,,,The only thing you can kill
is yo Keyboards!

@GILBERTO YO hateful ass is always trying to
F** Somebody Running when they Slap yo Asses with the truth you and that Bey Hive act like a P** who have been Stabbed in the Ass for Slaughter. You Hate the Truth and Fact,,,,,, that is
why many of you in that Hive is always changing yo names and going after Me and Others on the Site because we don’t take KINDLY to that “Passing First Blood” and thinking Rihanna’s Navy is Supposed to take it because Yo Asses don’t want to ACCEPT Defeat Ever.
Navy isn’t asking for Hand Out’s and FRANKLY it don’t matter if you want to debate and argue that Rihanna have been doing nothing but Walking Back and Forward on the many Stages She Have had the chance to step on and
getting paid because at the end of the day Rihanna is still paid and shes a Black Bytche who don’t give Shyt about your hate andSlanderous ways, at all.
What counts is that Rihanna is doing something right because even if you don’t think that she deserve her Stardom U can go ahead and Kiss that Skunks ass right now and not the the left or the right but dead in the Center, Until Further Notice,,,,HATER’S
K-POP?! I PHUCKING CAN’T you just made your own grave now go and lay in..bow on coffin and all. BOOM!
SHUT THE F*** UP B**** AND DEAL
Now the Navy on the Other hand have Learned that We have to know how to take the Bitter with the Sweet and none of yo Asses want to Give a single Inch as far as what Rihanna did that was “Good Or Bad” but let Me tell ya, I want to Tell you all and I mean this,,,,,,,Its always great to see the Black Artists All up in the Mix with all of the other NATIONALITIES, its not the World aganist Beyonce or Rihanna It should be about Every One who Works Hard should be able to Be Rewarded for their hard work & not GET THE “Hound Dog Hell Beat Out Of Them” For just Working hard Simply because they SHOWED BEYONCE’S ASS ” ALL THE WAY UP”,,, DEERY’S.

“TALK THAT TALK” IS A BIG PHUCKIN DEAL FOR RIHANNA’S NAVY ALL AROUND THE GLOBE,,,,,,DEERY.
Alright Chris!
“Don’t Wake Me Up” is soooo old, yet still in heavy rotation, Love It
What’s this “local” insult. When you’re from the united states and big you are GLOBAL because artists from every country hope to strike it big in the u.s. that’s where albums sell the most wtf.you sound dumb.I don’t even like Taylor swift And I blame Kanye big mouth for making her bigger than she would’ve been had he sat his ass down.I still can’t believe she’s released 56 songs!!! Crazy
There will be war and there is a life outside of the US, and saying that the US IS THE ONLY MARKET THAT COUNTS,
is AS NUTTY as thinking that Beyonce is the best Singer ever.
If this was Beyonce that grape would have to put up tent’s
up to contain the excitement….I Suppose that since the UK don’t count it did not make any sense for BEYONCE to open up a House of Deron accross the pond when she was SUPPOSED TO BE ON VACATION WHERE she opened a new clothes store in the UK and did that Tubbie tuggle are something like that kids show and shot numerous Magazine covers and had music WRITTEN FOR HERSELF, by others. And shot new L’oreal ads , dereon ads, and even did ads for Dollar Store Water and still yet the Bey Hive trieshard to Knock Rihanna’s Hustle, Kiss Rih’s Ass,,, Sunny side up.
A lot people know why Taylor swift blew up after 2009(and NO it was not the Khanye incident), well informed people will know the music industry is deeper then whats on the surface…before ignorant individuals ridicule me I will just post this:

aww back when Chris didnt have all those tatts
Congrats to them all especially Chris Brown I honestly didn’t think he’d get another top 10 on this album!!! kudos
Cosign You Ofc….
THANKS KANYE WEST. HE NEEDED TO SHUT HIS PHAT BLACK CRUSTY LIPS UP. CAUSE M************ ACTING LIKE TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST WHEN HER MUSIC ISN’T EVEN THAT GOOD WHEN I THINK OF THE LIKES OF PRINCE, AMY WINEHOUSE ETC ETC
Let’s stop lying, b****. Taylor was already big before Kanye thing. Her debut album sold over 5 million in US and Fearless was already massive.
b**** please she wasn’t.
Think for a second about why Taylor was at the VMA’s the night, why she was up on stage and why Kanye interrupted her. It was because she won.
Kanye may have added gas to her engine, but her engine was already revved.
West sure did start the shyt and many of the whites will go out
of their way to support Taylor and Her Cause.
Kelly Floplands ice is number 100 muhahahahahaha
At least, it already has a better peak than Cockiness. And Ice doesn’t have the help of a remix and a performance on VMA. Ooops! LOL.
but girl I ain’t worried about cockiness, lets talk about diamonds b**** has had no type of promo yet it is number 5 beyflop could never Kelly definitely could never it took her single 10 + weeks to get to number 100 gworl stop it!!!
@GILBERTO,,,,We Found Love,,,,Deery
You’re a f*****.
God damn Chris Brown smilin like a crack fiend asking you for 2 doller. f*** boy close that goddamn mouth you ugly b****!
@the Ri-ri tie with Whitney crap.
Remember that Whitney (may she rest in peace) didn’t release an album every year unlike ri-ri has since the beginning of her career….so its not really an equal playing field.
ROXY This is a much Differen time and a different World, Deery!
The only problem with having high first week sales like that is that they register a dramatic decrease in the 2nd week and weeks to come. Taylor can sell because she only appeals to the teenage girls demographic and its them who buy the music. Let’s keep in mind that nearly half those copies sold were from itunes.
Anyway, I feel Taylor should grow more as an artist instead of rehashing the same lyrical content and recycling it over generic beats.
It’s quite IRONIC that rihtards keep calling everyone else local when 2/3 of R******’s sales come from USA and UK. USA and UK aren’t the entire world if you don’t know. Actually, she only has “impressive” sales in UK, and it’s due to discounts, selling her album for £3 on supermarkets and annual performances on X-Factor and The Brit Awards.
Where’s your proof??
B****, you’re the one who use VOGUE as source for ALBUM SALES.
LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL.

GILBERTO,,,,tALK tHAT tALK,,,,
It may have under performed in the USA and panned by some critics for its overtly sexual content, but as of today Rihanna‘s latest album, ‘Talk That Talk’ ,has sold enough copies worldwide to nab the top spot on the Global Album Chart.
In its first week of release, the album has sold 504,000 copies placing it 3 spots above Adele‘s ‘21‘ which moved 327,000 units, despite being released 44 weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Drake‘s ‘Take Care‘ holds court at #6 with 217,000 copies sold worldwide in the second week of its release.
Mary J. Blige‘s ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues‘ resides at #9 with 167,000 units sold while Rihanna’s ‘Loud‘ crept up two places to #38 with 51,000 copies shifted worldwide in the last seven days.
Well done to all
@GILBERTO,,,,,BEY HIVE STICK THIS UP YO ASSES AND SMOKE IT.
Interesting enough the HOOD-Hive is so mad at Rihanna’s 37 million albums sold WW and 142 million digital tracks sold WW that they keep on talking about Rihanna instead of letting Taylor Swift have her moment. Taylor Swift has shifted over 1 million albums in one week, that is mighty impressive. Let her have her moment.
DEAD @ 37 million albums sold WW and 142 million digital tracks.
GILBERTO YO ASS AND THE LIKES OF YO ASS WOULD LIE ON RIH IF THE TRUTH WAS CHOKING THE SHYT OUT OF YOU BUT THAT IS OKAY,,,,DEERY BECAUSE THE TRUTH WILL STILL SET YO ASS FREE,,,

Rihanna named Billboard queen for the last 20 years in other words two Decades!!!and u will deal!
Rihanna with the #2 spot right behind MADONNA, AND YOU ARE ALREADY DEALING!!!!
Isn’t it funny, LOUD sells 3 million worldwide in 3 months, TALK THAT TALK sells 500,000K in one week and a million worldwide in 1 month and you think Rihanna can fail to sell and additional 7 million from her catalogue?? That 24 million the Germans and their dog gave you is outdated. That 3.2 for Talk That Talk is also outdated.
This was written in early 2012, and since then lots of months have passed. Remember, when Talk That Talk was still Gold.
MTV: “Talk That Talk’s worldwide sales of more than 4.5 million units and counting (as of early 2012), brought Rihanna’s worldwide album sales to more than 30 million. As she enters her eighth year as a Def Jam artist, Rihanna has also logged a phenomenal 120 million digital song sales, establishing her as the top selling digital artist of all time. This was underscored as far back as the Billboard Music Awards at the end of 2009, when Rihanna was named the Top Digital Song Artist Of the Decade.”

That’s right, TALK THAT TALK as of early this year had already notched 4.5 million worldwide and we all know it was still going strong throughout the year and even scored a #1 position on the UK charts, 35 weeks after release. LOUD was also going strong and still selling. Do you honestly believe if Rihanna can sell 3 million albums of LOUD in 3 months, she can fail to notch an additional 7 million from her catalogue.
DefJam is absolutely right, 37 million albums sold worldwide and 142 million digital tracks sold worldwide. Fume all you want but the stats stick.
:: YAWN ::
Take your RIhanna v***** licking elsewhere. You act as though your life is totally empty and Rihanna is all you have to fill it with. Sad, because while you seem to think that you’re on here winning arguments and debates with total strangers online, you’re actually just exposing how desperate you are to make all this crap matter enough to someone other than you so that you can feel personally validated for five seconds for having spouted all this nonsense ad nausem.
Nobody cares about your ridiculous idolization of Rihanna, or all the silly ass Jeopardy trivia that you have memorized like a wart on the back of your hand and recycle daily. Do you know your job schedule as well as this s***? Hell, do you even have a job? Does Rihanna have you on payroll to go to music blogs on a daily basis and post all this meaningless bunk in her defense? Has she even sent you a tweet or an autographed glossy? If she hasn’t compensated, or at the very least acknowledged you for all the time you waste typing up essays in her defense, then you madam are a h**.
Get your life. No, better yet, get A life…because it’s crystal clear that you don’t have one, and that arguments in the comment sections at TGJ is basically the sum of your existence. Again, sad. I wouldn’t switch places with you for anything, because I can tell that you are a bitter, sad, manic, obsessive-compulsive, dateless and basically lost individual.
@BEYONCE’S WEAVE,,, Tell it Ofc.
and do I love it!
This once again proves that Rihanna is a bigger star than you initially thought she was. 4closure should never be put in the same sentence as TALK THAT TALK ever again. It has sold way more copies than 4closure.
i love u PREACh ! PREACH THE MODAFUKIN TRUTH ! i’ll have a seat to listen to u preach all day :’)
BEYONCE WEAVE,,,,U Have made it Rain on them ho’s!
Congrats to all, especially my girl Alicia!
XTINA WILL DO WELL THIS TIME SHE ALWAYS DOES!
Congrats to breezy, he did that on his own F*** people saying Rihanna helped him with promo, I was following that song’s progress for over a month just as it entered the top 20 on itunes before the Rihanna crap.
Itunes needs 2 die…taylor will obviously surpass madonna’s & dionne’s hot 100 entries with her next album considering most of the tracks on her albums chart even before they are singles…back in the day singles releases were limited & even airplay only songs could hardly get ranked..fact that GLEE & TAYLOR have more entries than icons just proves the sorry state of music now…congrats to all anyway
Once you understand s*** like this, you know which artists to support, Taylor swift and the rest dont really need their fans! I stop short in calling people stupid because they dont know better…but I dont support satanism.

@ Lax
I have no time to educate your dumb ghetto ass, these things are for intellectuals and no one is forcing you to believe anything, after all TGJ is not all I have in my life, I follow the economy, world news instead of posting essays everyday here like you.
RIHANNA IS EVERYYYYYTHINGGGGGG!!!!! f*** what you say #doyathang
OMG!! Another Taylor post! Im loving Grapejuice at the moment:P

“RIHANNA ” SENT TAYLOR BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS TO HER DRESSING ROOM!
PS
TAYLOR SWIFTS, #1
ALSO TAYLOR SELLING OVER A MILLION HER FIRST WEEK WILL GIVE RIHANNA & HER NAVY SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO AND BE INSPIRED BY!!!!
@Lax
wow I never knew that Rihanna did that! That was awsome of Rihanna to do that:)
Yeah, well Taylor now has the 3rd highest selling album in the states this year already after just one week sales!
Rihanna sucks if the legends had digital sales counted back in the day, they would break records too!
really!!!
They broke records anyway, and way bigger and important than these ones. But yeah we know what u mean
So happy for Chris…Don’t Wake Me Up is really a great song. I see he also has #1 Latin Billboard Song Collobo with Wisin & Yandel. Wow… he can reach every music jardon. How Cool!!!
I swear these last 10 years in music suck and it´s not gonna stop
Did you see that pic TGJ used on this post with Rihanna and Whitney houston??? Mediocrity vs Greatness. As simple as that. So sad
About the Hot 100:
what a f****** disgrace. I blame Billboard for changing its rules so many times and itunes. Of course Taylor Swift and Rihanna and these horrible artists are going to surpass Madonna´s and Mariah´s records for most entries and most top 10´s on the Hot 100. Back in the day you could only chart with the radio promoted singles, and now you can enter with the whole f****** album (if people buy it of course). What even with all the success in the world could take a year to achieve 15 years ago (4 entries for example) it can take a f****** week nowadays (biggest example Taylor Swift singles)
Do you people really think Taylor or Rihanna are most successful, respected nad better than Madonna or Mariah? Of course nobody thinks that. But teh constant changes in the rules are going to confuse retarded kids. They are really going to think Taylor, Rihanna, Glee Cast and Kesha are bigger than Madonna, Whitney and Mariah
#sosad
It’s official: Taylor Swift’s “Red” sold a whopping 1.208 million copies last week in the U.S. That’s more than any album has sold in a single week since 2002,
Taylor just shitted on Beyonce’s entire career. Bey will never pull in over a milli the 1st week and she would never release and album the same week as Queen T. How is Beyonce supposed to be the queen when Taylor snatched that wig down to her nappy roots?! Hahaha
Beyonce has 16 Grammys..Enough said! #BEYHIVE B*tches, Real recognize real! #Music
Taylor just shitted on Rihanna’s entire career. Rhi will never pull in over a milli the 1st week and she would never release and album the same week as Queen T. How is Rihanna supposed to be the queen when Taylor snatched that wig down to her nappy roots?! Hahaha
alot of these records have become redundant because of itunes. e.g Katy Perry beating MJs record.
Madonna, however, still reigns as the queen of Billboard’s top 10, with 38 to her name, Madge has more top 10 singles than any artist in Billboard history – including Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, and Elvis Presley.
All Hail the Queen!

Only the queen with 180 million records could do this.

Spot on with this write-up, I really feel this web site needs far more attention. I’ll probably be back again to read more, thanks for the information!
