For Tamar Braxton, the last 24 hours have been nothing short of a blessing.
Hitting the net with her scorching new single ‘Love & War‘, the last few hours have seen the cut ascend on iTunes like a bat out of hell, and is now on spot away from hitting #1. Yes, you read that right, #1.
However, in the case any doubted the true reach of the singer’s commercial power, tonight has seen her enter territory many a R&B rival has tried- and failed- to match. Territory, by the name of the UK charts.
Good news below…
Without the benefit of a supporting video, live performance or her hit Reality TV series ‘Tamar & Vince‘ (which doesn’t air in the market), Ms. Braxton has soared onto iTunes UK’ R&B tally, currently perched at #6.
Outselling Ne-Yo‘s ‘Let Me Love You’ and Miguel’s ‘Adorn’, ‘Love’s entry on the highly competitive chart marks the fastest rise this week, despite facing fierce competition from cuts pulled from Alicia Keys‘ US #1 album ‘Girl On Fire’.
More interesting though, is that the number is yet to impact UK radio and seems to be- if its US run is anything to go by- selling on the basis of ‘word of mouth’, with consumers rushing to purchase it after a series of reviews hit the net in its favor this morning.
Still haven’t heard the single?
wow… im in shock!! Well Done Tamar girl shes doing so well! R&B never does that well in the UK charts so good job ill be buying!
i hope black can take example and support our artist, this what we should be doing buying our people music like how the whites buys taylors and stop downloading illegally i’m not saying whites don’t but we need to support our artist more,,….btw i actually bought the song lol 😛
WOW!!! i don’t even know what to say! Congrats
SLAYING N THE SONG HASN’T EVEN BEEN OUT 24HOURS YET
@HONEYPLEASECHILD I KNOW YOU SOMEWHERE CRYING I THOUGHT IT WAS GUNA FLOP???
she is slaying!
But so it smells so fishy!! not too sure what to make of it!
WTF! How is this happening?
Her husband is a wll known and respected Manager who manages Lady Gaga as well. The pull he has and the favors he called in to positio his wife is a good look for her!
Gaga tweeted “go buy Tamar’s single”
Despite the many haters she is rising like she should..Tamar is not new news in the US however sadly overlooked in the past due to garbage being preferred. Her husband did not give her that amazing voice…The creator did and boy does she break it down.com.. Just listen for yourself ..a real artist who don’t need auto tunes ..she took it back to real R&B.
I am truly pleasantly shocked
I know why Tamar is ruling itunes so quick,! It has nothing to with the black RNB consumer, as they HAVE NO POWER. LADY GAGA: She is on twitter telling her monster to buy this song cos it his Tamar time to shine, ” me tamar have been best friends since I was 20, her hubby discovered me and is my manager since I was 20.” ” It would mean a lot for me if you support her ” etc etc.
That is THE ONLY REASON SHE SELLING. But big up Lady Gaga for DOING THIS!
Lady gaga tweeting the itunes link to this song. The fact that are best friends and her manager discovered and manages Lady G is why the Global monsters are pulling through. Big up lady Gaga. She has a more of a healthy relationship with tamar, than Beyonce does with Beyonce. Even though her Jay co managers Rih, Beyonce is too insecure and jealous to do for Rih, what Gaga is doing for Tamar. Black female insecurity is alive and well.
But it was top 5 before Gaga tweeted.
NO, IT WAS GAGA THAT SET THIS OFF! THIS means that GAGA IS GONNA BLOWN BEYONCE COMEBACK TO HELL.
Why is its selling in the UK? NO one knows that show over there or her. it is uk monsters who are repping for gaga ” best friend from since she was 20 ” End Of.
they show Braxton Family Values in the UK, but not Tamar And Vince! so the people in the UK knows who Tamar is!
shut the hell up the song was already on number 2 when gaga posted the support tamar thing.go get your life
F*** YOU, NO ONE KNOW WHO SHE IS . READ THE ARTICLE. GAGA TWEETED THIS BEFORE IT ROSE UP THE CHARTS. I follow Gaga on twitter. You may of saw this on itunes, but YOU NEVER KNEW GAGA HAD BEGGED HER MONSTERS TO BUY THIS. I am happy Gaga done this, but this should will scare bEYONCE, because her main threat in 2013 is Lady gaga and this confirms THAT GAGA WILL SHUT BEYONCE WHOLE CAREER DOWN AND LEAVE HER LOOKIN LIKE THE BLACK NELLY FURTADO.
Explain why the song is selling in the UK with no airplay and no one knowing who she is? Who is bigger is the UK? GAGA OR TAMAR?
F***** KILL YOSELF
and that’s! what you call promo
Shoosh the non sense, please.
Beyoncé already posted on her website about Rita Ora. She can be a lot of things you haters say, but she isn’t insecure about anyone. And let’s be real, okay? Tamar isn’t competition to Lady Gaga, two different f****** genres. Gaga is promoting, but she knows Tamar won’t hurt anyone… She’s wack, even though her song is a good tune.
I know Gaga and tamar are not competition. You f****** idiot. They are best friends. She is helping this black woman out. I SAID GAGA IS BEYONCE COMPETITION in the mainstream and GAGA name is more powerful.
Beyonce said to buy Rita Whora and no one did. Gaga said to buy Tamar and EVERYONE DID.
2013 GAGA AND BEYONCE GO HEAD. WHO’s FANBASE IS STRONGER N OW? GAGA WILL WIN!
And one more thing..
Her song being a good tune won’t do that much for her, Trust And Believe (Keyshia) is a good song too and didn’t made it big. Same formula, same fate. And it’s a pitty that Keyshia don’t have anyone to promote on twitter.
Excluding the groupies slating me and dedicating their lives to worshiping me. I have already explained this. THE song sounds like Keyshia, but Keyshia did not have lady Gaga tweeting itune links and begging her fans to buy.
OH PLEASE!!!
so what?????
ITS A GOOD TUNE WITH A GOOD SINGER.
gaga or not, when its good its good.
Oh damn, I’m disappointed to HEAR THIS NEWS! I was hoping she did this on the stregnth of her ow talent even though she had a few advantages as I listed below!
Dude You’re f****** stupid. She was on the uk charts and number 2 on itunes before gaga even tweeted that LOL
SHE WAS NUMBER 2 ON ITUNES BEFORE GAGA EVEN TWEETED THAT!! YU A REAL JACKASSS!!! HAHAHHAHAH THESE B****** STAY PRESSED!!! TAMAR DID THAT H**!! TAMAR DID THAT H**!! TAMAR DID THAT!!!!
@Flop cheeta. Are you trying to say that blacks have no BUYING POWER? LMAO! BLACKS are the reason why TYLER PERRY is FILTHY RICH. The black dollar is the reason why KOREANS and ARABS set shop in black communities? If you were INTELLIGENT – You’d know that BLACK BUYING POWER will reach 1.1 trillion by 2015. But see you’re IGNORANT and think that whites are the only ones with BUYING POWER. When it’s your people who started the ILLEGAL DOWN-LOADING to begin with. Not only do you steal from people’s cultures but you steal music too.
And as for tamar Braxton’s CAREER Lady Gaga ain’t done a muthafuckan thing. Gaga wouldn’t even be where she is if it wasn’t for tamar’s HUSBAND VINCE. Vince is the force behind tamar’s career just as he is with Lady Gaga. F*** outta here with that b*******. You ARE just jealous cause a BLACK WOMAN who happens to be an R&B ARTIST IS DOING GOOD – It hit your JEALOUS ASS like a ton of bricks. You thought tamar was going to do bad because she’s an R&B ARTIST – Well your EXPECTATIONS were WRONG ROTFL!
See the thing with you is wanting to get a kick out of seeing R&B ARTIST do bad that’s why you’re so f****** pressed about tamar LMAO! Yes honey she’s #1 UK and US and it ain’t because of Gaga. It’s because people WANT REAL MUSIC BACK and R&B at that. They are tired of that microwave pop-corn b*******. You’re running around scared that R&B is making it’s way back through the door because like the typical RACIST YOU’RE – You do not want to see R&B ARTIST RULING THE CHARTS that exactly what it’s all about you don’t want to see white artist slipping away and losing chart power which is why you’re saying lady Gaga is responsible for tamar’s #1’s well how is that when Lady Gaga is just another justin bieber? they wouldn’t even have a CAREER if it wasn’t for BLACK PEOPLE – Now try to refute that FACT ; )
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! i love tamar she is doing her thang.
Without the benefit of a supporting video, live performance or her hit Reality TV series ‘Tamar & Vince‘ (which doesn’t air in the market), Or endlesss promo, million of dollars, name dropping, Cloning and hyping like Rita Whora.
You need to sit DOWN. WAY DOWN in all the seats in Yankee Stadium…(non haters would get that ;0) ) Lady Gaga and Beyonce are not….uh…let me repeat myself cuz you seem real slow & challenged… LADY GAGA AND BEYONCE ARE NOT IN A COMPETITION!! What planet are you on? Did you not see the support they have had for one another in the past.. both were featured in each other videos but maybe you are too blinded by your jealousy of Beyonce. B is going to be in the game a Loooong time possibly longer than ur girl Gaga… It’s been over a decade for B already. Stop it! Be grateful that you have had the opportunity in this world of crappy music to have at least two phenomenal acts like B and Gaga to listen to. Whats up with kids turning everything into a freakin conflict?? SMH
LADY GAGA IS TELLING MONSTERS TO BUY. SHE IS TWEETED THE ITUNES LINK.
NOW U KNOW! Ok, so Lady GAGA IS COMING BACK STRONG IN 2013. BEYONCE…..WHERE U AT? BEYONCE DOES NOT HAVE THAT POWER. SHE COULD NOT HELP RITA WHORA GET A SINGLE HIT, YET GAGA PUTS ON TWEET AND TAMAR IS TOPPING CHARTS ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH NO AIRPLAY OR ANYONE KNOWING WHO THE F*** SHE IS..
Errr no shade to Tamar, but Sam you tricked me with this, you might wanna add its the RNB chart, not the main one… Bruno Mars is #1. Well done Tamar tho thats still really good!
Receipts please. That screen grab looks fake to me.
Stay PRESSED! The grab is real.

Remain pressed!
I am happy! 2013 The black Queen Rihanna will reign in Music, Fashion and TV and the White Lady Gaga will reign the too. All other f**** trying, with desperation to make a comeback like it is 2003 will flop .
LOL LOL LOL LOL WOW ! There is so much power in the Monster fanbase.
Feel sorry for you. Your life must be so pathetic.
I feel sorrt for you cos Your life does not exist. Please, stop stalking me. You were born you. Not my problem God cursed YOU.
THAT RIHANNA REIGN! YOU MAD THAT LADY GAGA IS ON TOP AND GET NO NAME ACTS TO SELL WW BECAUSE SHE TWEETS?
STAY N****!
*Waves at the stalker * Shall Tweet n*** pics of me? You want something from N****? Is my tax not enough for your nappy hood ass?
I am waiting for you to devote your oxygen to worshiping me. Cos every time, you stalk my comments. That is what you are doing and I LOVE IT!
Feel sorry for you. Your life must be so pathetic.
@Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys
STOP BEING SO MESSY DAMN!!!!! RELAX
How is it messy to ADMIT THAT LADY GAGA IS THE REASON SHE IS BEING CHECKED FOR?
As a Rih fan I am not scared or intimidated by lady gaga. I like Gaga. She cannot Rih’s career up. So, I am the first to call it! IT IS ON MOTHERFUCKING ATRL THAT SHE IS TWEETING THE MONTERS TO BU THIS AVERAGE RNB SONG. IT WORKED. Brandy, Rita Whora, Keyshia, Ciara, Kelly Rowland etc better go and be best buddies with Gaga. Only a b**** can sell. Unless you are Rih.
AT the end of the day. Let see if this song can gain momentum. Lady G can only tweet one. Let see next week. If it is not around next week, then I was right ( as I always am )
I just checked the charts.. she may be #6 on the R&B chart but overall shes #95.. still, hopefully it will rise!
She’s a R&B artists I don’t really give a f*ck what she does on the Pop Chart to be honest!
She’s number 2 on the us 100 songs official …
what’s it with the @FLOP CHEETA WHORA person, you’re really f****** annoying. We don’t want you stanning for rihanna, back away from the computer and get a JOB n****.

btw i just order some clothes online..what have yo done lately..oh yeah post comments on blogs What does that mean? Can you say it in human please.
Wanna know what I did ( it is still early on the west coast ) ? Book keeping at my parents consultancy firm. I Why you were buying clothes online….I was earning money, learning from my parents firm and contributing to our family business.
THE JOKE IS ON YOU! I am laughing at your hood ass. Buying cloths on line VS me, working at a financial firm ONWED MY PARENTS? You are the loser n****. Hence why you are insecure AND FEEDING OF MY COMMENTS. YOU DISS MY COMMENTS, BUT ARE A GROUPIE TO ME. YOU CANNOT STAY AWAY. I know u will write me back. THAT IS THE HOLD I HAVE ON YOUR N**** ASS. ALMOST LIKE SLAVERY. I LOVE IT.
but you are a n***** yourself…….hmmm
This b**** is bonkers.
Did this loony really just say “consultancy firm?” #DEAD If your parents were smart enough to run a “consultancy firm,” then they would have raised such fool for a child, so null & void on that lie. There are enough spelling and grammatical flubs in all your posts to make an idiots stew, yet we’re supposed to believe that you’re a bookkeeper. #ICANT.
You wish your parents owned a business. Hell, you wish you knew your parents. My guess is that you only see your mother whenever she’s allowed to have visitors at the rehab clinic and that you’ve never actually met your father.
Right now you’re sitting your neglected teenage ass in the library of your rundown high school, waiting on someone to remember to pick your abandoned up. 😆 Knowing that you’ve been forsaken and forgotten, you come here to act like a buffoon to ease the stress of knowing of knowing that no one wants or cares about you.
Poor you.
More and more it’s becoming sadly obvious that many of the Rihanna fans who frequent this blog are just lost souls with no purpose in life, and you sweetheart are the leader of this pitiful pack.
Awww black consumers feelings are hurt. They thought they had the power to dictate the itunes chart, but, in reality, it all comes down the blonde WHITE GIRL LADY GAGA.
AWWWWW POOR DAT BLACK RNB CONSUMER.
You need to be locked away in an insane asylum, because you’re as nutty as a Pistachio. I would call you a sociopath, but you’re not that interesting. All you are is a loser on the Internet who has no life and no friends, and so you troll to take your mind off it.
Come harder! Is that all you have got? YOU SAID this a month ago. Come on, step ya game up, n**** h**.
We have heard all this before and it is not working. All it does it make you angry and when you n**** get angry…do you live in Florida?
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL I should start my own blog. I get so much GROUPIES THEY NEED ME. They are not even talking about Tamar.
DO you have a life and friends? If so, why are you trying to be a GROUPIE TO ME? Are your friends no good enough? AWWW POOR DAT!
SORRY GROUPIE, GET IN LINE.!
IS THIS YOU KELLY AKA SYBIL ……
It is. buggy little twerp is off her meds.
american horror story asylum
I love you too! Do not cause Groupie stampede now
lol lol lol SAM, ALL THE GROUPIES LOVE ME! EVEN THOUGH it is your blog. THEY HAVE DROPPED THEIR WHOLE LIVES TO STALK ME.
who is sam thou?
Wow…You are a Neanderthal. I Can bet any amount of money that you are very ugly… A terrible body with a butter face, there is nothing remotely attractive about you. I can tell because pretty girls don’t act like you. You look ridiculous and are obviously very young. Your low self esteem is written all over this blog. Read what Stav wrote, he said it the best. Ugly chicks are bitter about life and want to spew on others what they see in the mirror. Please go get help, you are not as ugly as you think, you can perhaps save up for plastic surgery because you can never be as pretty as Rihanna or Beyonce but perhaps with a better attitude and some talent you could be just like your idol Lady Gaga.
Get ya life Tamar , YASS GAWD HUNTY
So glad because we need more songs like this
Big up my follow UK’ers who bought the single like me.
“We go so hard, we lose controlll, the fire starts, then we explodeee”
Congrats Tamar!
Thats whats up Tamar! Congrats!
Y’all f****** are so quick to say that someone’s slaying!!!! I’m so f****** tired of that word! The song is cute and Tamar can sing, but SHUT THE F*** UP! She hasn’t slayed anything yet! When she hits the top of the billboards with her singles & album and sell out tours, she’ll slay! But until then sit back and drink a nice glass of shut the f*** up!
SUCK A FAT ONE FROM A DISTANCE
Slaying and she can sing are two of THESE MOST OVERUSED WORDS ON THIS F** BLOG.
but you come everyday to this F** blog
Hey Sam,
Will you post Rita WOra Slora. in CT doing a ” show” with Rick Ross, 2 chainz, Meek Mill, Miguel and Neyo AKA HAVE A S** FEST ORGIE. Damm ! There gonna be a lot of black d*** sucking tonite. I bet Meek Mill will tweet about again. * goes to meek meill twitter. Tonite in CT RITA WHORA, MEEK MILL, MIGUEL, RICK ROSS, NEYO ALL IN ONE ROOM – THE BEDROOM
To the person who asked be why I call her Rita Slora….B***** Blop have dubbed her Rita Slora so I GO THE NAME FROM THAT BLOG.
Yay, somebody new to listen to for a change. It’s just ridiculous, her vocals just slay me ugh! LOL Go Ms. Tamar! 😀
with a song like this she deserves every number 1 position!
she is giving R&B some life with this jam. it has soul, emotion and hurt all up in one track. Tamar is giving the lyrics real meaning, with or without support from gaga’s monsters or Brandy’s Starz, with what Tamar is giving us she deserved it.
point blank period.
If you are talking about her stans, she too has them she calls them The “TaMartians”!
YASSSS!! So happy for her! She truly deserves it! <3
I am very happy 4 her, you go girl!
A less attitude and more slayage like this and she could be huge.
REAL TALK!!!
Wow congrats again…….Tamar keeps dis up she might snatch sum scalps. Lol……
I like” Love & War”. It is a very nice cut. I like the live version she delivered on the Vince & Tamar Reality TV Show much better however.
With that said, lets keep it 100 and state a few facts:
1) Vince Herbert, (her husband-manager) is a well respected manager. He has some serious industry pull. He also managed Gaga.
2) Tamar sounds EXACTLY LIKE Toni Braton on this song. IMO
3) Tamar has the benefit of a 10 week Reality Show to aid in promoting her music! (even if it has not officially aired in the UK, one can catch the show online).
4) The song is well written and Tamar killed it!! <–true tea 🙂
Ayyyyyeee….. gone head and do it. I know she’s excited.
Hi TGJ posters,
I’ve watched you all go back and forth for months and love this site.
One of the main reasons its doing well here in the UK is TheSkorpionShow on youtube. I watch them and they know her personally. They got me watching Braxton Family Values/Tama & Vince and we don’t even get the shows here – as stated in the article!
Many people in the youtube community watch and listen to TheSkorpionShow regularly and there’s a strong audience base in the UK.
After watching the shows and being a Toni Braxton fan since HER debut, I had to search out Tamar.
You’re all right, it also helps that tonight Gaga has tweeted her support (as stated above)…and you know we love us some Gaga 🙂
love to you all
gary x
I had no idea she had a voice like this….impressive….
The rapid success of this song is the proof that true talent sells!!! I woke up to see several post on Instagram that her single was out and she killed the song! Immediately went to download and its been on repeat all day. Word of mouth and the TRUTH.com don’t lie! Yo girl is singing her ass off on this song.
At 5am the song was already #10 on iTunes R&B charts and it’s been climbing all day. Now it’s #1 on iTunes R&B charts, #2 on iTunes charts, #6 on iTunes UK R&B charts. The song will continue to climb after she performs it on the finale of her show tonight.
So glad she realized that listening to people trying to make her be like Toni was a NO NO. From the moment I heard her truly sing I became a fan. SHE ME HER TAMAR SLAAAAYYYYYSSSS
Although the cut DOES sound like Keyshia’s “Trust & Believe,” it’s a wonderful song! Tamar beautifully executed each and every lyric, and those vocals honey….. I really didn’t expect her to impress me this much!
TO: Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys
SHE WAS NUMBER 2 ON ITUNES BEFORE GAGA EVEN TWEETED THAT!! YU A REAL JACKASSS!!! HAHAHHAHAH THESE B****** STAY PRESSED!!! TAMAR DID THAT H**!! TAMAR DID THAT H**!! TAMAR DID THAT!!!!
AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GAGA TWEETING THAT, AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS GOOD MUSIC AND PEOPLE LOVE IT, THATS ALL THAT MATTTERS>> PEOPLE BECOME AWARE ABOUT EVERYTHING THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH AND RECOGNITION>> THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT<>>> #SIT
Congrats Tamar!!
