Chart Check: Chris Brown & Nicki Minaj Continue R&B Chart Reign / Lady GaGa Stifles Competition With ‘Do What U Want’

Published: Monday 21st Oct 2013 by David

With less than eight weeks to go until the release of his new album ‘X‘, Chris Brown finds himself the crowned the digital King of R&B for yet another week, thanks to his Nicki Minaj assisted smash hit ‘Love More‘.

You’re after details?

We’ll fill in you in below…

By way of a consistently high sales made on iTunes everyday, the cut is currently perched atop its R&B tally- so popular, that it is now outselling releases that dropped well after its own July 16th arrival!

Giving cuts by Robin Thicke, August Alsina and Justin Timberlake no choice but to covet its long running winning streak, the jam’s continued popularity also sees it spends its 9th week in the UK’s Urban Top 40, outselling Drake‘s ‘Pound Cake’ in the nation and earning itself a spot at #24!

Meanwhile, back in the USA, Lady GaGa‘s latest iTunes #1 ‘Do What U Want’ continues to hold the top spot as Katy Perry’s Triple Platinum single ‘Roar‘ occupies the #5 spot, one spot above Eminem‘s controversial ‘Rap God‘ and more than 90 spots above Rihanna‘s new single ‘Pour it Up’, which failed to earn a Top 100 spot yet again this week.

Indeed, with a Platinum plaque already to its name, it would seem the general public have shown all the support they can for the Urban number, confirming that the cut had well and truly peaked months before the arrival of its official music video!

Back in the UK, Lorde‘s ‘Royals’ resides at #1 while GaGa’s ‘Applause’ finds itself at #51, 45 spots beneath Perry’s ‘Roar.

  3. My Forehead Tho October 21, 2013

    Still baffled at how Lady Gaga got that number one. Time always tells though. I’d like to see her bank statements and Itunes account purchases.

    • miao October 21, 2013

      Stay pressed.

    • Stop the drama Start the music October 21, 2013

  4. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) October 21, 2013

    Sam forgot to mention that The Emancipation of Mimi surpassed sales of 6 million in the US. The queen has 5 albums to sell over 5 million in the US.

    • GagitaMaraj October 21, 2013

      Too bad her new album won’t even sell half of that.

      • stephy tha lambily October 21, 2013

        Too bad she already sold 250 million records…

    • ILoveJamesDean October 21, 2013

  7. christinastherealtalent October 21, 2013

    How in the hell Do What U Want topped the itunes chart and it’s more Urban (and it’s hard for an Urban song to top the charts these days) but yet Applause is more generic and commercial (which is what tops the charts these days) was least successful? Remember when Tamar’s Love & War topped itunes then dropped dramatically? I really think Gaga’s team is buying these copies.

    • miao October 21, 2013

      Stay pressed #2.

      • cde October 21, 2013

        Right. They complained and called flop when Applause failed to hit #1 but now that Do What u Want has in fact hit #1 she is accused of fraud.
        Haters stay pressed.

      • B**** I Can’t Even Spell Welfare October 21, 2013

        LMAO!!!! @ Pressed #1 & Pressed #2

        The steam is real!

    • Stop the drama Start the music October 21, 2013

      Do what u want is still pop tho.

  8. HausMuthaAdele October 21, 2013

    Gaga is buying her own singles like Tamar did.

    • Stop the drama Start the music October 21, 2013

      Tamar’s album still outsold a lot of r&b chick’s albums tho.

  9. Super Cisus October 21, 2013

    I listened to Lady GaGross new song and the s*** suck she’s so 2010

  10. GODGATHETRUTH October 21, 2013

  12. Basura Caliente October 21, 2013

    Gaga can actually sing unlike Yelly perry tho.

  13. Dark horse October 21, 2013

    Buying your own singles your so desperate Gaga.

    • Stop the drama Start the music October 21, 2013

      Katy Payola is no different tho.

    • BEYHIVE_MINAJ October 22, 2013

      Pressed b**** no. 1094326

    • *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* October 21, 2013

      You are reaching, on their official FB page they denied those Lies, Go and See it for yourself and others.

      I stan for This Song Tbh, their Song is Out of this World as well.

  14. NO(Halo My Name) October 21, 2013

    So because her single is £1 on iTunes she buying copies? I don’t like gaga at all but is it so hard to believe that people actually like the song? Katy probably purchased half of Roar sales if we gonna say gaga purchased hers. The struggle for hate on this blog is real.

    • NO(Halo My Name) October 21, 2013

      #1*

    • Stop the drama Start the music October 21, 2013

      Right. Hardly anyone one likes roar except her delusional fans. Even more ppl liked that wack ass song wrecking ball.

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) October 21, 2013

        Roar over Gaga’s discography any day of the week, and I’m no were near a Katy stan…

    • *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* October 21, 2013

      Actually “Roar” was being sold for Free as a part of a PEPSI deal.

  15. The Great Lacefronce. October 21, 2013

    All flops

    All of their albums will flop

    T***** Caca has peaked. The world is tired of her gimmicks. O n I g g e r and Crackhead brown are irrelevant. Both of their previous albums and singles FLOPPED

    • B**** TAKE A SEAT> October 21, 2013

      Starships was a hit you w**** how da f*** are you gonna sit up here and say that? go back to the hole you crawled out of and die. K?

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) October 21, 2013

        Starships??? Bahahahaahahah! That b*tch had 200+ singles released since then. _/

  16. Lovebird (unconditionally – Prism – 10.22.13) October 21, 2013

    I need to see all the names attached to those transactions for Caca’s new single because I’m certain she purchased at least 80% of that s*** songs sales.

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) October 21, 2013

      *Stands in line to view receipts as well*

    • Mary Mary Why You Buggin’ October 21, 2013

      How’s that 62 on Metacritic for Prism working out for you?

      LOL!

  17. Lovebird (unconditionally – Prism – 10.22.13) October 21, 2013

    And I cannot at Caca copying Katy Perry’s trend of releasing songs. Katy releases a trap inspired urban smash “dark horse”, guess which reductive woman does the same?

    We’ll see how that s*** song does next week.

    • *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* October 21, 2013

      Katy Perry trend ?

      GaGa has Been doing it Since the fame’s “Lovegame” to Give her her Dues.

      • Lovebird (Unconditionally – PRISM – 10.22.13)) October 21, 2013

        Oh come on even you know it’s true.

        Katy Perry schedules a release for her song, Gaga moves the release date of her tripe ahead.

        Katy Perry releases Dark Horse as a promo single (Dark horse is trap/urban), Gaga releases an urban promo single.

        Gaga knows Katy is her competition and Katy is making all the right moves.

        And Lovegame is not urban, it is pop. Gaga’s last urban song was the one she did with Wale.

  18. Lovebird (unconditionally – Prism – 10.22.13) October 21, 2013

    Anyway, depending on which time zone you’re in, Prism comes out tonight/tomorrow on iTunes and will be in stores tomorrow.

    • Basura Caliente October 21, 2013

      Lol Damn you just don’t stop. I love you tho. Even tho u a h**.

      • Lovebird (Unconditionally – PRISM – 10.22.13)) October 21, 2013

        LOL, thanks. Love you too.

  25. Navy Nick October 21, 2013

    I don’t understand the hate…there is plenty room for all women in this music scene…GAGA is talented, say what ya want….Katy & Rihanna run HOT 100 singles, (who cares), LIVE MUSIC CONCERTS is what makes an artist, and GAGA SLAYS LIVE!!! I like them all tho, in my Britney voice: U BETTER WORK BIT*H!

  26. rIhanna is BIGGER THN BEYONCE EVER WAS October 21, 2013

    Sam,

    Melanie Fiona was dropped from her label.

  27. *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* October 21, 2013

    Speaking only About Music:

    To Be 100% Honest, “Do what U Want” is The Best Song Out Now.

    That is just me giving credits When it’s Due.

    Respect to her for Making It, Love Everything about It.

    “Love More” also Deserve It’s Success, i maybe not Here for Nicki’s Verse in It, But the Song Is good tbh.

  28. Lovebird (Unconditionally – PRISM – 10.22.13)) October 21, 2013

    2 more hours till PRISM drops on iTunes.

  29. Lovebird (Unconditionally – PRISM – 10.22.13)) October 21, 2013

    I hope Tamera Foster gets signed, her beauty is insane.

    We need more black faces in POP music and Tamera Foster is most definitely Pop star worthy. She is a gem.

    Anyway Prism drops in 2 hours on iTunes.

    • Myst October 22, 2013

      She doesnt deserve it. Little b**** been done for assult, shoplifting, bullying and all sorts.

  30. Sisqo, The Return if the Dragon!! R&B King October 21, 2013

    @shitbird no GaGa copied Miley Cyrus urban songs.She is trying fit in lol I never heard an urban track from her before. The song is hot but there is no originality.

    • Lovebird (Unconditionally – PRISM – 10.22.13)) October 21, 2013

      This is the only urban song I’ve heard Caca do before the current ones.

      http://youtu.be/q9M7XpHqeP0

      • Lovebird (Unconditionally – PRISM – 10.22.13)) October 21, 2013

        They’re all (Katy, Miley, Beyonce, Gaga) trying to pull a Rihanna.

        Rihanna is the only current artist who can make MULTIPLE genres work on a single record and the other artists are trying to make it work but it’s just not the same.

        Good thing about Katy though is she incorporated some of her sound into the urban songs like she did with E.T, which is why they work better for her.

  31. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) October 21, 2013

    –__– *leaves post to go watch the TLC movie*

    • Ju don’t even know October 21, 2013
