As recent Hip Hop wins have shown, using the Hot 100 to determine how well a song is not always a good idea.
For, while some cuts may not sell enough week by week to score or hold Top Ten spots, they do sell enough to give the acts and labels behind much to smile about.
Find out what we mean in today’s chart check below!
Leading the Rap pack for another week is ‘Trust Issues‘ MC Drake, no doubt the driving force behind each and every single he lends a verse or two to.
In at #37 comes his A$AP Rocky led jam ‘Problems’ which stands tall with 1,505,050 units sold, while the Lil Wayne led ‘Love Me’ soars almost as high 1,055,416 copies moved. Impressive, considering both songs peaked at #8 and #9 on the ‘Hot 100’ respectively.
Elsewhere, in what is really a testament to his star power and support from radio, his classic cut ‘Started From The Bottom’ now boasts sales of 989,003.
Over at Roc Nation HQ, Rihanna‘s singles will no doubt given the powers that be reason to pop open a bottle or two, after ‘Stay’ shifted 229, 148 to reach the 1,801, 714 mark as ‘Diamonds’ dusts its shoulders off with 2,854,789 copies moved.
Cementing her status as R&B’s Adult Contemporary Queen comes Alicia Keys. For, despite very little being done to drive this home to the general public, her song ‘Girl On Fire’ stands proud as one of the highest selling releases of the last year, with 2,645,864 sold in the US alone.
Featuring Rap Queen Nicki Minaj, the song still holds the #1 spot on R&B charts across the globe, serving as the biggest obstacle in the way of Kelly Rowland‘s rising smash ‘Kisses Down Low’ and Ciara‘s ‘Body Party‘- which debuted with sales of 18, 288 units three weeks ago.

I wish someone would slap the s*** outta u u b****. AK is faaaaaar from a flop h**!
Yess ! congrats to all of them 🙂
Alicia Keys do it now. Tell this b****** you know how to make an R&B song sell. Love You………
So happy for both Alicia and Rih Rih. Alicia Keys have some classic records under her belt that people will be listening to for many years to come at this point in her career, It’s a shame I can’t say the same for Bey since both of their solo careers debuted around the same time.
Cant say the same for Ri either.
Umbrella , Russian Roulette, Disturbia, Man down , Diamonds, Stay ,WFL are already classics in their own right. Plus I’ve always felt That her best songs are the ones that havent gotten a video such as We all want love, Fool in Love, Farewell etc
@ballsy
Classics? Seriously expand you musical horizons hun. She´ll be lucky if Umbrella satnds the taste of time…
These b****** really think Rihanna is Whitney Houston or Madonna… 🙂
YASSS GO ALICIA! this girl is indeed on fire! this figures will make honeychildplease question its prediction making skills mwahahahahahah. love AK to bits!
Girl On Fire c*** blocking Kisses Down Low and Body Part after all this time hahaha.

I attended Alicia Keys concert last night at Barclay Center. Her voice was on point and she had the most classy and artistic set.
She didn’t change outfit but played different instruments using various images. She has so many hits I forgot how many.
She killed “Girl on Fire”.
