You're still trying with Lana being ignored in America when Ciara hasn't been relevant there outside of BET since 2006?
Her album outsold your fave's last three combined there, she has won more awards than your fave, she has been voted one of the sexiest women in the world on multiple sites and magazines (since you tried using unsourced "best dressed" lists), Summertime Sadness has outpeaked and outsold Cedric's comeback "hit" Local Party in in the two countries Cedric charted and everywhere else (and will outpeak/outsell Love, Sex, Magic, her last top ten hit by next month at this rate), and BTD will outsell Cedric's discography worldwide sometime this year.
Not to mention Cedric with at least ten performances, awards show promo, and hype still couldn't outdo "flop" Paradise's first week. Sit.
