It’s that time of the week again!
Half an hour after this week’s UK Charts were publicised, TGJ rounds up a number of the week’s highest rising releases in the nation- which now sees Daft Punk & Pharrell Williams top the overall tally with their Dance hit ‘Get Lucky’.
Meet us below!
Before we head over to the UK, fans of ‘Everything’ vocalist Elijah Blake have placed him on the fast track to streaming glory this week, following the release of his debut music video ‘XOX‘.
With females aged between 13 and 17 making up the bulk of the video’s YouTube audience, combined hits of 166,471 views in four days make it the ‘fasted viewed’ clip from an R&B newbie this week, surpassing the 50,000 mark hours after being uploaded to video sharing site.
As it stands, the entertainer’s hit make his chances of impacting the Billboard Hot 100 in the coming weeks all the more likelier, thanks to new chart rules put in place by the company which sees streams count towards chart positions.
Now available to purchase on iTunes, the song also boasts 163, 840 individual hits on VEVO– accumulated as the performer continues work on Kylie Minogue’s 12th studio album but after he penned the cut ‘DUI’ for ‘Body Party’ singer Ciara, set to feature on her self titled new album.
Over in the UK, John Legend‘s 2005’s ‘Ordinary People’ occupies the #1 spot on the iTunes R&B tally- while its supporting album ‘Get Lifted’ rose 77 spots on the Official Urban Chart to hit the #19 spot…nine years after its December 28th 2004 birthday.
Laying a healthy foundation for his forthcoming album ‘Love In The Future‘, the continued interest in the Grammy’s winner work came after his last solo album ‘Evolver’ was certified Gold in the US, surpassing sales of half a million units- peaking at #4 on the Billboard 200.
Meanwhile, Rap Royal Nicki Minaj saw her latest album ‘Pink Friday:Roman Reloaded‘ extend its lead as the longest charting Urban release in the market today, spending its 59th week in the Top 30.
This, as her Hip Hop love song ‘High School’ sits pretty at #27. Next week, when ‘Reloaded’ spends its 60th week in the Top 40, Minaj will become the first Rapper (male or female) to achieve this feat, kicking pink dust in the faces of every other release to hit the nation’s Urban tally.
..and that isn’t all!
Mariah Carey and Miguel should be pleased to learn that their collaborative hit ‘Beautiful’ rose five spots up the chart in the last week, pushing it into the Top 5 via the #4 spot.
Holding the #27 position of the Official chart, the song’s speedy ascent to the top of many a chart has seen Mariah score her biggest hit in the country since 2009’s ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ which peaked at #19. 21 spots above ‘Beautiful’ comes Wretch 32‘s Shakka assisted ‘Blackout’ which holds court at #6 while Beyonce‘s ‘Love On Top‘ spends its 71st week on the R&B chart at #31.
Congratulations to all!
Ooop. Riwhore nowhere to be found.
But she’s on your mind.
Like h***** is on her p****.
Right
Glad you know b****.
Where’s her single though?
@FentySoSnatched You worrying about the Queen when your fav took seven years to get a number one. I’m sleep though.
“Stay” started to chart in the UK LAST YEAR, so it’s only natural that it would start to descend. It is currently #68 there. Meanwhile, in the US [Hot 100], “Stay” is sitting pretty at #5 after being in the top 10 for THREE MONTHS.
UNA = 3 MILLION WW
RIHANNA = UNBOTHERED.
#SEETHE
Kiiii kiiii. What kind of inflation! UNA has not sold 3 million worldwide so f*** outta here with those Bernie Madoff numbers.
Inflation? I don’t inflate dahhling. You can check Mediafire, Chartnews or google it yourself. UNA has sold 3 million worldwide, and you SHALL remain PRESSED.
#TheEnd
First of all honey, I could never be your dahhling and second of all, I don’t need to be pressed when my fav is slaying with R&B music and not that club s*** Rihookah puts out.
DAHHLING f*** you AND your Spongebob Squarebody, lip synching for dear life, teenage wannabe fave! And I didn’t know that “STAY” was club s***.

I’m still gagging at the Navi saying Rihanna is the new Aaliyah. The delusion.
where the hell did you see the navy members saying this lol…no she’s not, she’s her person so is rihanna, so these comparisions are null and void but we love Aaaliyah to pieces tho 🙂
In the Blake video thread.
One or two people does not equal the entire Navy you TWAT!
“Million Dolla PUS-SAY!!! Million Dolla PUS-Sayyyyyyy!!!”

BREAKING NEWS: Rihanna can’t keep a man.
BREAKING NEWS: Ciara is still a flop.
Breaking News: Chris loves Karrueche!

Like Rihanna’s.
Funny thing is A lamb has to put an Input into that knowing how often the two words “mariah carey” and “payola” are to be found in History Books.
Facts everywhere.
They taste Bitter Tho , Hope you Love it. 😉
RIRI still slay… Trashy niccca minus has no grammy yet and her days are gone.

Body Party peaked higher than Man Down. FACT!

Nicki SLAYING rap b****** AN rap n*****. Which b**** u know.
All this Floplijah hype. He definitely stuck it in Samantha’s loose p****.
Congrats all around! Now, John we need that album to come out soon. Your single ‘Tonight’ was okay, but that was last year. Some of them need to capitalize off these numbers. I’m actually surprised about Nicki Minaj because I didn’t realize the album was still on the charts. I don’t get why she needed to release a re-do album if the original is still on a chart selling. Yeah, I get the urban radio stations are not playing the songs but them redo singles aren’t being played either. But good for her, but it is kinda sad she will be holding the longest charting “hip hop” album and it is not really hip hop.
Sam is so wack!
And he forgot to mention how Elijah Blake’s New Song is a commercial FAILURE!
F*ckin F*g!
How can it be a failure when it came out this week?
Queen Nicki though ♥!
I didn’t know John sold like that. Good on him.
The Lambs and their delusions LMAOOOOO!!!!
Congratz to Eli.
1. I’m happy TGJ are featuring John more often now, he’s a real talent.
2. I’m happy for Mariah, she really deserves to win again.
sounds good gaaal
EEUUGUGUGUH. Your avi scared me!
I just saw two Bots lusting over Elijah like the classless trollops they are.
@ me babe.
The Navi are born punks so she won’t be @ing you anytime soon.
Congrats Mimi. Still slaying 23 years and 4 days later.
Have you sent Miguel a thank you note?
Excuse me b****?
What other hits has Miguel ever had. Has any of his singles ever made the top ten?
LOL. If anyone should be grateful, It would be Miguel.
You’re excused.
Are you still mad that your Disney counterpart Selena Gomez is snatching your Demi’s wig?
Are you still mad that Demi’s Disney counterpart Selena Gomez is snatching her wig?
Be sure to cash that DUST i’m paying you.
You’re not “paying” me dust when you reply to my comments gurl……
“Be sure to cash that DUST i’m paying you.”
Like the dust the Grammys pays Demi on a yearly basis?
What about JLo’s ‘Live it Up’?
What about it dear?
Cat got your fave’s overweight tongue?
How is it doing on the charts? Radio? iTunes?
No offence Slayriah but we all know LIU is gonna slay the f*** out of Beautiful eventually.
@BEYBEYKING
Well, you still have zero room to talk until Beyonce actually drops that single but you may be right though. Jennifer is already slaying with youtube views after only two days. Mariah needs to get out of the house and go promote that single. get them interviews and tv performances.
Payolariah strikes again.
Happy for John.
mariah should b ashame of herself she fat she cant sing anymore and she used miguel for a hit his gorgeous velvet voice made #beautiful deal she aint been relavent since 2005
The same way Ciara is using Rihanna to get attention in the media?
In which world is Ciara relevant Btw?
The Mariah piglets have some nerve talking about the other girls when she is the King of buying hit songs.
Lolz at Mariah piglets, because that’s what they actually are. PIGS!
If you’re talking about the clear channel deal, I must inform you that Madonna had it for GMAYL and JLo had it for Live it Up as well. It was only for the first day and didn’t even count towards her current position on the BB hot 100.
Worldwide sales still stan at 200 million+ sold.
#Next
No boo I’m talking about the career she made out of paying for play.
LOL, then your comments are irrelevant and invalid due to the fact that you fail to provide evidence.
Goodbye Sir.
icki is awfully quiet today, I wonder why.
Damn Mariah Carey has a couple of delusional people who stan for lessors truly pressed LOL They are always the same and always commenting under different names. And always the same two things:
– She should thank Miguel (How? Miguel should thank her if anything, it´s his biggest hit to date)
– Lambs are the ones starting s*** (how? first of all, no Mariah fan said anything on here. It´s just these couple of Mariah haters trying to make it seem like it and then replaying to themselves. Plus a person doesn´t mean “the lambs”)
It´s killing you inside. But b****** let it go. It won´t make you good cos Mariah will always be there. And damn for the most part this post was not about her… 🙂
Gratz to Nicki.
Congrats to Mariah. Beautiful is growing on me.
Wow… My friend Emily has just married to a handsome wealthy black man. They met through ~~~ MìxedŚìngle.Çoм ~ ~~Serious interracial dating is an ideal platform for afro romance for black & white singles. So, if you want to look for people with which you can date, you are at the right place.You can meet(lawyers,busy professionals, benefactors. models, celebrities, etc….)perhaps you can have a try.
