Last week Eminem & Rihanna scared away the competition with their ‘Monster’ debut on Billboard Hot 100.
Alas, their roar – nor the ‘Roar’ of a certain Katy Perry – has managed to frighten the likes of Billboard champion Lorde as her breakaway hit ‘Royals’ claims the throne for its 8th week.
But, as the gap between ‘Monster’ and ‘Royals’ closes, there are others newcomers on the prowl for the top seat as well. Cue Lady Gaga…
Via Billboard:
“…Lady Gaga tallies a 14th week in the Hot 100’s top 10 (10-9) with “Applause,” encompassing the entire run of the set’s lead single. Meanwhile, second radio track “Do What U Want,” featuring R. Kelly, flies 48-18 on the Hot 100 after debuting at No. 13 three weeks ago…”
Billboard Hot 100
1. Lorde – ‘Royals’
2. Eminem & Rihanna – ‘The Monster’
3. Miley Cyrus – ‘Wrecking Ball’
4. Avicii – ‘Wake Me Up’

8. Drake – ‘Hold One We’re Going Home’

I’m so tired of that Lorde song OMG!
Good for Lorde. Always nice to see young artists not following the rest of the crowd and actually releasing quality music. If only the same could be said of other artists *cough Gaga cough.*
LORDE >>>Lana
Thank God LORD IS BLOCKING R****** FROM GETTING ANOTHER NUMBER 1 SHE DOESN’T DESERVE.
Rihanna really should thank half of the men in the industry for half of the #1´s she has. Really unfair. She has some hits of her own, but really, singles after Stay are flopping and nobody was caring (not saying that she should have more than 2 successful singles from one album, that´s enough) but of course here is Eminem again to give her another possible #1. In how many songs has she been a featured artist? Not that she contributes to the songs when she is the only singer in the song either, but at least it makes it kind of fair. But all these features really saved her career from looking below average, now it looks average at least 🙂 Without all this she would be on Katy Perry´s level of hit singles.
Anyway, happy that someone so young and talented and with a really different song is unexpectedly slaying like this. Go Lorde!
Hi John Pressdal!
Live Your Life, Run This Town, All Of The Lights, Love The Way You Lie and hopefully Monster are her only featured #1s. 😀
THE REST OF HER #1s, top 10’s and 20’s are ALL HER. Thanks for your essay & concern though!
And you have the f****** nerve to say “her only”???? lol
Yes the f*** I do. You b****** act like half of her hits are features. FOH
b**** you are f****** crazy… all these one chapter for riri, this shows how much you care.
Queen Rihanna will have her 13th #1 single next week.
King Eminem will have his 5th.
I AM ECSTATIC.
P.S: Where is that Woman’s single??? Still scared??? Oh.
Hmmm… I wonder if the monster will go number one.
Lorde is slaying.
And damn, the top ten has been looking like this for weeks.
Miley Katy, and even gaga are slaying to.
B*tch, will you S.T.F.U already!!!
All you ever do is rant & rage about the same f*ckery that nobody, in all honesty, gives a damn about.
GAWWWSH!!!

Lorde > Lana
I see all that payola is working for Locals.
Too bad it’s flopping in the rest of the world.
One hit wonder, just like Carly Rae Jepsen.
Good for Lorde! Slaying the charts at 17 with an alternative/indie song! It will be interesting to see if she is able to score any other hits. As for Rihanna, I think it’s silly to say that she is piggy-backing off of Eminem and other guys who have featured her. Oftentimes it is THEM who seek her out because they know her voice can SLAY a hook. The Monster has an infectious hook that Rihanna murders. Not many people have that ability. Her hooks are what people latch onto in the songs and what they remember most about them. Sooo….you shouldn’t trivialize that fact. Anyways congrats to everyone (especially Drake, Katy, and Gaga, who have been in the top ten for over 3 months I think?)
Let the stan wars begin….
Death at Borde being alternative/indie. That song is purely pop and extremely CHR friendly.
Don’t bring up it going #1 on Alt because US Alt radio is basically pop extended at this point.
Someone is jealous.
Has I’m Out (of the Top 1000) gone sandpaper yet?
This is why folks like Miley and Gaga are never as successful even when they top the charts. They’ve done how much promo, spent how much money, did how many publicity stunts and didn’t top the girl who just sang a song without wigs, grinding, blunts or costumes.
At the end of the day they spend half of whatever they make from album sales before their albums are even out for 6 months.
Dog s***>>Ciara
Roar is at 3.7 million singles sold. Almost 4x platinum. Side note, Ke$ha came out of nowhere. I thought she was done for
Awwww Rosie jealous little lorde is slaying LaNOBODYna
Now b**** you mad you fav has no No1 history.
That song goes in sis.
Z Squad spend more time on TGJ than they do supporting their fave.
Stay mad BTD outsold Cierror’s discography.
Anyways with how local it is and how poorly it’s selling outside of the US/Oceania Borde’s album will do 2.5 million worldwide at best.
Hmmmm….
Wow the biggest flop of the century spend 14th weeks in the top 10 and sold 2 million!! Damn applesauce flopause or whatever u haters call it.APPLaUSE spent 3 months in the top !!
Congrats to all…Get it Lorde she is slaying.
THAT CI-ERROR STAN CAN’T KEEP QUEEN RIHANNA OUT OF HIS/HER MIND, ISN’T HE/SHE TIRED OF GETTING DRAGGED. DEAD @JOHNVIDAL THINKING THAT OTHER ARTIST GAVE RIHANNA HALF OF THOSE #1S
SOS #1
UMBRELLA #1
DISTURBIA #1
TAKE A BOW #1
RUDE BOY #1
ONLY GIRL #1
WHATS MY NAME #1
S&M #1
DIAMONDS #1
WE FOUND LOVE #1
HER FEATURES:
LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE #1
LIVE YOUR LIFE #1
LOL JAY Z HELPED ‘UMBRELLA’ GO #1.
DRAKE SOLD ‘WHAT’S MY NAME’ TO #1.
‘S&M’ WAS STRUGGLING TO HIT #1 UNTIL BRITNEY JUMPED ON IT.
SORRY BABE, PIGGYBACKHANNA WOULDN’T BE ANYWHERE IF IT WASN’T FOR……OTHER PEOPLE LOL
Royals is a nice song but it is so overplayed. Em just uploaded a picture of them starting to shoot the monster 🙂
WHEN WILL GAGA, LANA OR BEYONCE?
I DUNNO WHO THOSE OTHER 2 ARE, BUT GAGA HAS SEEN #1 FOR 8 WEEKS BEFORE. MORE THAN ONCE LOL
LOL pure heroine is doing worse than born to die was 6 weeks into its main release. Pure heroine is 33 on the uk charts 3 weeks in whereas born to die was number 2 at the same stage. The reality is pure heroine is flopping like crazy outside Oceania and North America. Come back when lorde achieves 5 million +
miley and katy still slaying #getYoursGurls
Ciara fans still acting like ciara is moving big numbers HA
Lorde has so far sold 700K WW of her CD and is selling on average 40K a week. She hasn’t left the iTunes top ten since release, winning.
And she didn’t have to turn her alternative/indie song into a generic dance remix to score a top ten, plus she can sing. Always a pleasure to see young artists rise like this.
LOL APPLAUSE 14 WKS IN THE TOP 10, 2 MILLION SOLD?
BUT I THOUGHT YOU HATERS SAID IT WAS A FLOP…WHAT HAPPENED? LMAO
And not the pressed Gaga fan writing a novel on Rihanna when he should be purchasing multiple copies of ArtFlop.
Not your fav causing job losses at interscope with a mediocre floppy disc no one wanted to buy.
Not interscope having to use Eminem’s money and operating on that line of credit simply because your fav burned through $25 million USD and saw no dividend after a $5.90 discount.
Not the pressed Gaga fan pretending to like Madonna and standing for a going concern who is a watered down mediocre version of a Madonna tribute act writing a Bible on Rihanna, I can’t.
Not when you should be purchasing ArtFlop to stop those job losses at interscope.
When was the last time Beyonce was in the top 10??? #sips
When was the last time Bee-yawn-say been in that Top 10??? #sips
WHY IS RIHANNA BROKE???
WHY IS ZZZIARA IRRELEVANT???
WHY IS GAGA FINISHED AFTER 5 YEARS???
WHY WILL LORDE BE FORGOTTEN BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR???
BOTH BEYONCE AND RIHJECT WERE SELLING BIG NUMBERS 5 YEARS INTO THERE CAREERS. GAGA IS A NOVELTY ACT AND HER SHELF LIFE HAS EXPIRED NOW DEAL

I cant with these lies! Gag’s longest reigning #1 lasted 6 weeks with Plagiarize This Way. Poker Face and Just Dance only lasted 2 weeks each. You tried.

More lies. Applause is clocked at 1.6 million sold in the US. By comparison, Ariana Grande’s The Way has sold 2.5 million, Selena Gomez’s Come & Get It has sold 2.3 million, and Demi Lovato’s Heart Attack 2.1 million. Gag was outsold by Disney/Nickelodeon girls
DAYUMMMM! lol
Puts on coat because it’s cold in this b****!! Clocking h*** passed curfew!!
I can’t at these people talking about rihannas hit we found love stayed on the chart at #1 more than all ya faves and that was her by herself!!! just get over it rihanna is a hitmaker!
the fraud woman is scared.
But starships was top 10 for 21 consecutive weeks.
Only song I like on this list is Imagine Dragon’s Demon. I love Rihanna, but Monster is blah to me. If they would drop a video, it would grab that #1 spot.
Oh and @JOHNVIDAL is mad as phuck, lol. The only #1’s Rih is feat on is Live Your Life and Love The Way You Lie. Nice try tho.
“Where’s Ciara on the chart?” Hahahaha, that still cracks me up.
Beyonce hasn’t seen that top 10 in years how embarrassing.
John is mad he wishes Gaga was racking up them number 1s like Katy and Rihanna.
Gag actually sold 25k copies in Canada ! she got a platinum plaque for 80k including SHIPMENTS. she’s so desperate lmao #ARTFLOP
Applause hit the 2M mark this week so dats alot for a Flop single!
I understand why would you navy get tired of her son…She is one of the reasons why Rihanna ain’t coming out with a new album this year, Lorde woulda snatched that wig within a second. She had no chance this year at all!!! Smart move on her side though
Not King B talking about Rihanna’s wig getting snatched when Beyonce hasn’t seen a top ten since Telephone.
Does your fav even remember what a top ten looks or feels like? She’s having nostalgia moments considering she’s having her floppy songs radio tested.
LIES! RIHANNA GAVE THEM ALL NUMBER 1 HITS WITH THOSE TRACKS.. RIHANNA MADE UMBRELLA SUCCESSFUL, NOBODY GIVES A DAMN ABOUT OLD A** FLOPZ, DRAKE SOLD WMN TO #1?? B**** RIHANNA GAVE DRAKE HIS FIRST #1 WITH WMN..AND HOW WAS S&M STRUGGLING WHEN IT WENT TO #2 ON THE BB HOT 100 WITHOUT BRITTNEY SPEARS??
@GAGARULES
“R****** HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH”
BEST COMMENT EVER!!
lmao both Lana and Lorde are slaying Ciflopra

Tell em sis.
Queen please Lorde is no threat to rihanna #Onehitwonder
Ewww! Miley’s gumm are gross.
YALL ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO COMPARE SOMBODY TO RIHANNA..WHO IS LORDE ANYWAY?? AND WHAT HAPPENED TO RITA WHORA?? THE NEW IT GIRL WHO WAS SUPPOSE TO REPLACE RIHANNA.
AMEN make it stop!!
First of all Lorde came outta nowhere, and second of all Ri is unbothered!!!
WHO IS LANA? AND DOES HE HAVE A GRAMMY? YES OR NO ANSWER PLEASE!
@WRONG Yes at those receipts. I keep trying to tell the girls that Borde is more local than country music. Not to mention that only 17% of Born To Die’s 5 million worldwide total is from outside of the US. Global queen.
lol, does Calvin Harris ring a bell you c***.
Her hooks? You make it sound as if she writes stuff.
every body did great exept for gaga. Girl what happened to you I just can not believe that Lorde Katy Miley Rihanna and the others out sold you.
