Derulo’s rise to the top comes after his debut single ‘Whatcha Say‘ was certified 4x Platinum in the US fir sales of 4 million units and as Drake’s ‘Started From The Bottom’ moved a cool 51, 772 copies in the same market- bringing its sales to 1,475,871, after his DJ Khaled led ‘No New Friends’ was sent to Rhythmic Contemporary Radio on May 21st.

Emeli Sande joins the party with ‘Next To Me‘ which has now sold a sweet 775,030 in the US, extending her reign as the market’s most successful ‘sleeper star’ today- well on her way to shifting Adele esque numbers without the ’21’s singer international notoriety.

  4. BeyWhoUWanna May 25, 2013

    The fact Mariah has only sold 200k is a problem.

    • Steph May 25, 2013

      Why?!?! The song is not that good! She needs a monster hit. This is not a monster hit song at all. Im surprised it even sold 20,000 copies.

    • DOSSOME May 25, 2013

      the song is GREAT AND it has been out only 2 weeks and sold 211k already.How is that a flop?

      • Steph May 25, 2013

  5. JARED (WHITE DUDE) May 25, 2013

    Congratulations to all, especially Emeli Sande, but…

    “Milestones”?

    Really @Sam/TGJ.

    Okay.

  6. PawsOnEm May 25, 2013

    I had no idea Jason was selling singles like that, he better do the same with the albums though.

  7. PhuckYoTour May 25, 2013

    Good for all of them. It’s so nice to see everyone is doing well.

  8. MalikOnMyMind May 25, 2013

    • Meena Mathers May 25, 2013

      • MalikOnMyMind May 25, 2013

    • Micks May 25, 2013

      Performing at her sold out world tour.

      • MuiMui May 25, 2013

        Talking about eating and things like that seems to always turn me all the way on makes me happy about that pool party last night.

      • OnikaSupreme May 25, 2013

        @MuiMui Tell us what happened at the party gworl.

  10. Kiii May 25, 2013

    Im NOT even a Mariah stan but the song is out for 20 days.
    So 211k are ok. 10k per day. 70k per week
    Decent!
    What are y’all talkin about?

    • Steph May 25, 2013

      Why does that even matter? Mariah Carey has already sold 200 million records!!!! She already in the history books! It’s these new YOUNG artist that need to sell more records.

      • MuiMui May 25, 2013

        STEPH You are right Mariah has made her’s if she never sings another Note. To me Mariah Legend, Beyonce Icon
        and Rihanna is hot stuff and definitely on the rise., While Rihanna may never be what the doctor ordered for many she is still moving right along and sales high or low does not really stop the driving forces behind these acts who keeps it real and still exciting people all over the place and Mariah Paved the way for so many and they had better reconize are stay a stick in the mud forever.
        Anybody trying to talk down anything Mariah does is like trying to say Rihanna can’t sell Music and get the crowd excited as all get out, Morocco anybody last night.

      • MDNA May 25, 2013

        LMAO WHAT IS BEYAWNCE ICONIC FOR ??? STEALING OTHER PEOPLE’S S***

    • DOSSOME May 25, 2013

      113k first week,97k 2nd week…it’s definitely more than 10k per day and sales of the 3rd wk haven’t been added yet til tuesday

  11. RoyalNavi May 25, 2013

    Oh no! Why did i think Mariah has sold more? Payola didn’t work this time did it?

    • Steph May 25, 2013

      PAYOLA happens with EVERYONE. It started back in the 1960s when BERRY GORDON paid WHITE stations to play black music. It just carried on into another generation. Clive Davis used a lot of payola for Whitney Houston back in the day!

  12. Pour It Up May 25, 2013

    Dead at the Mariah stans overhyping this and shading everyone else in the process. Ohh look.

  13. HIAM (Blackout2.0) May 25, 2013

    But wait, why did the Lambs say Beautiful was slaying?

  14. BionicGlam May 25, 2013

    Yay for everyone, better luck next time Mariah.

  15. Rach May 25, 2013

    Milestones?

  16. MCThePlaceToBe May 25, 2013

    Mariah will always be the Queen so the haters can shut up.

    • Steph May 25, 2013

      THANK YOU! PEOPLE TALKING LIKE MARIAH CAREY IS SOME NEW ARTIST HAVING 10000 FLOPS. B**** PLEASE 200+ MILLION WHEN WILL YOUR FAV. 12 PLATNUIM SELLING SINGLES. INCLUDING SELLING 12 MILLION SINGLES WHITH 1 SONG ALONE!!! WHEN WILL YOUR FAV

  17. Another Cinderella Story May 25, 2013

    Gratz to Cici and Elijah.

  18. Lolz May 25, 2013

    Never saw the point of these threads when you can just go look it up yourself. Other than to create stan wars when you are having slow news day.

    • JanetXone May 25, 2013

      But you’re here all the same.

    • HausMuthaAdele May 25, 2013

      Oh keep quiet. I like the way they round it up so I can see how my faves are selling because I don’t feel like looking it up for myself. If you don’t like it, nobody is forcing you to say.

    • Lolz May 25, 2013

      Smh alright jeesh calm tf down! Its my opinion, which I am entitled to. Some of them are ok but some of the posts he puts up are misleading and are not usually really anything big. Stop getting so defensive.

      • XXX May 25, 2013

        I feel you^^^

    • BrunoMartian May 25, 2013

      When I see threads I don’t like I move onto the next ones. I don’t come in them and talk down on them cos that’s a waste of my time. But that’s just me I guess.

      • Lolz May 25, 2013

        Yeah, you said it yourself. That’s you.

      • truth(icki’s B**** ASS STANS can EAT ME honey!! Yall b**** is a STANK P**** FLOP chile! (puckers lips like Drake)) May 25, 2013

        Lol @lolz

  19. JanetXone May 25, 2013

    I love these threads because they really show how everyone is doing, so I’ll say well done to everyone.

    • JOHNVIDAL May 25, 2013

      Problem is these threads don´t show how everyone is doing. TGJ writes them in a very biased way, omitting info, etc

  20. XXX May 25, 2013

    When its convenient for the lambs, yall be boasting about this being a hit talking bad about the younguns but now its flopping, you run to the past stats of the old music climate smh.

    • DOSSOME May 25, 2013

      How is it flopping when it’s been top 20 on Itunes since release…113k first week,97k 2nd week and biggest airplay gainer on it’s 2nd week…you’re either ignorant or delusional to read facts before jumping on blogs to air your opinion

    • JOHNVIDAL May 25, 2013

      flopping?????????lol
      Debuted at #24 in Billboard hot 100 and raised to #20 in the second week. For a female over 40… it´s like a miracle except if u are Madonna or Mariah. Now stfu
      I love how all you haters were waiting for JLo´s new song to sell more in itunes than Mariah´s (knowing JLo can´t stand a chance when it comes to album sales)… and now that not even that happened… you don´t mention her anymore? Where is that single? lol

  21. DOSSOME May 25, 2013

    It seems Mariah got them pressed as usual…that could only mean she’s doing something right

    • . : : h 2 o : : . May 25, 2013

      That’s what annoys me TBH . .

      Two hundered million (?) albums later, they still talk about her latest singles’ chart performances like she’s Ke$ha or Katy or someone who started their career in 2010.

      • DOSSOME May 25, 2013

        Yeah,they keep forgetting Mimi had her 1st no.1 hit 18yrs before Katy had her 1st and 19yrs before Kesha had hers but she’s still relevant enough to compare to them…lol

  22. TaylorTaylorTaylor! May 25, 2013

    I really thought Mariah was doing well.

  23. Sweet Stefani May 25, 2013

    The Lambs can’t have it both ways. You try to drag the other girls when we all thought Beautiful was snatching wigs and now we know it’s flopping you wanna talk about old stats from twenty years ago. Celine slayed in the 90s and she still slays now so there’s no excuses.

    • Steph May 25, 2013

      Celine Dions last number 1 hit was in 1998 so umm. She only slays VEGAS! Her music is soul–less and boring. Also, she brings nothing original to the table besides her voice which is not a REAL artist. Celine’s “Falling Into You” & “Let’s Talk About Love” albums are the most OVERRATED Diamond selling albums of ALLL TIME. And most songs from those albums are forgettable. Also, everyone likes to talk about MARIAH & PAYOLA but Celines father opps I mean husband paid MANY stations and behind the scenes people including writters and producers to give Celine that crazy amount of success. She could’ve never done that on her own!!!!!

      • QueenCeline May 25, 2013

        Mind how you talk about Celine my dear, I’d hate to have to tell these new stans about Mimi’s whoring past.

      • JOHNVIDAL May 25, 2013

        Hey relax! Don´t blame Celine

    • Steph May 25, 2013

      @QUEENCELINE Whoring past? Child, don’t know body want to hear about that irrelevant s***. Mariah Carey is old and married she is sooo past her sexual stage. Besides, she was/is a grown woman she do what ever she wants with her p****!!! (In my Beyoncé Voice). Celine Dion is ugly and looks a long horse face 75 year old. But she is a legend and a awesome singer. Celine is 45 and Mariah is 43 and Mariah looks way younger!!!

    • JOHNVIDAL May 25, 2013

      Sweetie: my beloved Celine Dion still does good at album sales. But her last #1 single was in the 90´s and her last top 20 single in the hot 100 (what Mariah just achieved again in 2013) was in 2002. You are clearly ignorant

  24. BarbzRUS May 25, 2013

    Leave Mariah’s sales alone please!!!!! Homegirl is mean and shady but she’s a legend so we can’t bash her too much.

    • VisionOfMimi May 25, 2013

      Thanks for being far sis.

    • ItsYuriBitch May 25, 2013

      She wouldn’t be so easy to shade if her fan girls didn’t act like she was Adele or something.

      • Steph May 25, 2013

        Umm What the f*** does that mean???? @ITSYURBITCH

      • ItsYuriBitch May 25, 2013

        Exactly what I said. Mariah only sold because her master paid for everything, Adele sold because people love her music so I wanted to know why her fans want us to respect her when we know how she sold like she used to.

        Was that clear enough?

      • Steph May 25, 2013

        @ITSYOURBITCH Umm Excuse me, but Mariah Carey did not sell only because her “master” paid. If you think Tommy paid for every single given to radio. What type of profit would he had even made. Tommy only did that for her first album. Emotions did not sell that well. Music Box & Daydream & Butterfly & The 1’s & Emancipation sold very well without Payola! Adele got heavy promotion and her company I sure PAID stations too keep her records in heavy rotations. Trust me EVERYONE does it!

  25. Just To Say May 25, 2013

    I’d say its the lambs that bring on these kind of messy comments dragging Mariah because of the way they act most of the time.

  26. QueenOfTheNavy May 25, 2013

    So many years of paying for play is really catching up with Mariah. 200,000? What a joke.

    • Steph May 25, 2013

      So many years of sucking camels face d*** is catching up to Rihoeanna

  27. . : : h 2 o : : . May 25, 2013

    “Derulo’s rise to the top comes after his debut single ‘Whatcha Say‘ was certified 4x Platinum in the US fir sales of 4 million units and as Drake’s ‘Started From The Bottom’ moved a cool 51, 772 copies in the same market- bringing its sales to 1,475,871, after his DJ Khaled led ‘No New Friends’ was sent to Rhythmic Contemporary Radio on May 21st.”

    The negativity in this site. Pathetic

  29. lilmamastan May 25, 2013

    Mariah Carey is a legend case closed. She doesn’t need this negativity

  30. DOSSOME May 25, 2013

    Perhaps these ignorant people need to check the Itunes and billboard charts and mediabase to see for themselves how #BEAUTIFUL is supposedly flopping….like it won’t cost a leg to get these facts without ridiculing your existence by waiting for TGJ to give you news….

  31. Daydreamin May 25, 2013

    Congrats to Ariana!! The Way is almost at platinum with basically zero promo. She is gaining new fans everyday and Im loving it! Won’t be long till she plays with the big dogs. I can’t wait for the album and hopefully tour that follows!

    Not sure why people are saying Beautiful is flopping when it is making huge gains on Billboard and has been in the top 20 on iTunes for weeks. 211k isn’t that bad, you guys are acting like the song already peaked.

  32. IRISYU77 May 25, 2013

    Wow… My friend Lynn has just married to a handsome black man.
