After being enlisted by the Rapper to craft sounds for his forthcoming LP ‘Demonstration’, production duo Balistiq join Tinie Tempah in celebrating the commercial gains made by their collaborative single ‘Don’t Sell Out’ this evening.
How?
Chart check below…
Hours before the album’s release, ‘Demonstration’ can now boast of two hit singles today. The first, being via the John Martin assisted ‘Children of the Sun’ which enters the Official Top 40 at #6 and the aforementioned ‘Out’ which now occupies the #24 spot on the chart’s Urban playing field!
Indeed, as of today, Tempah stands as the only act to have two or more numbers on the R&B Singles Top 40 with ‘Sun’s success on the main chart earning it the #2 spot on this chart, 22 spots above the Balistiq produced cut.
So, just who stopped Tempah from reaching the top spot?
None other than ‘Maxine’ MC Eminem and his ‘The Monster’ collaborator Rihanna, both of whom watched that number debut at #1 on both charts tonight.
In doing this, the ‘Loud’ belle becomes the third act in British chart history to top the nation’s tally seven times in seven years, joining The Beatles and Elvis Presley in achieving the commendable feat.
As if that wasn’t enough to give the star’s mentor Jay Z cause to smile, tonight has his wife Beyonce surf the chart wave via the board that is ‘Listen’– the cut she penned for her 2006 sophomore LP ‘B’Day’.
For, 129 weeks after its release, the song welcomes a renewed interest brought on by singer Tamera Foster‘s cover of the number of ‘X Factor UK’, rising 17 spots to spend this week on the Urban chart’s #11 spot.
Meanwhile, the singer’s 2008 LP ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce’ continues to shift consistently commendable units week on week, seeing it spend its 254th week at #28, four spots higher than the position it held last week- looking on as Rihanna‘s 2012 LP ‘Unapologetic’ slides down the very same chart to land at #21.
Elsewhere, Lady GaGa‘s ‘Applause’ now finds itself housed by #36 while Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’ sits comfortably at #7, four spots lower than where it sat last week, while Cher‘s ‘I Hope You Find It’ spends its third week at #36, doing its part to push its supporting album ‘Closer to the Truth‘.

Congratulations Rihanna on getting your 8th number 1 single in The UK so proud of you.
Too bad she couldn’t get any more than one number one album.
Kii Kiii b****. Kiiii to the motherfucking kiii.
She has 4 #1 albums in the UK.
Unapologetic is her only number 1 in the US she has other number 1’s in other countries though…
LANA DEL SLAY wait a min w-tf are who da f-ck is Lana slaying..the sh!t you people make up in your heads, just go away you,you are not needed here only winners is invited.

“Rihanna joins Elvis and The Beatles in the Official Chart history as 1 of 3 acts to score 7 Number 1 singles over 7 consecutive years.”
The slay is expected because of the icon is back. No competition whatsoever. Jealous? 🙂
Your name makes me laugh.
EFFORTLESS !!!
NO VIDEO, NO PROMO, NO TWEETS & NO NEW ALBUM.
UNLIKE THose BASIC LADIES WHO JUST BLA BLA BLA BLA ONLY WENT TOP 5 AND STRUGGLING WITH 3RD SINGLE.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA.
How sad that I Am is outselling Loud even though Loud came out two years AFTER.
It’s VERY sad and says so much about Rihanna.
Much like Talk That Talk outselling 4lop when they came out the same year…much like Unapologetic outselling 4lop as well.
Loud is one of teh UK biggest selling ablums in history. I am sasa is not. That is key. LOUD HAS ALREAD MADE HISTORY IN THE UK.
Cheap hit. Will it be number one next week? I doubt it.
Congratulations….Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Mariah Carey & Britney once again have been muted by the one and only …… Queen Rihanna.
HUZZAH HOORAY for RIHANNA.
Sister, can you explain why Rihanna is such a s***.
Good question.
Does Rihanna have eight SOLO number one hits? No she does not.
Does Kelly have ONE solo hit?
Does Tamar have a college degree, better yet a high school diploma?
Tamar is so childish I don’t even think she finished grade school.
You still stan for MuppetMar?? Bahaha
Does Kelly have a platinum album?
Does Britney have a singing voice?
Does Kelly have a $100 million + tour?
Now Playing: Kill the lights by Britney Spears.
KISSESFORKELLY a hit is a hit solo are not,in my opinion.
what do u expect from the most iconic female artist of the 21st century ?
What do you expect from an industry d*** polisher?
nicki wasn’t available at press time. The answer awaits as soon as theres no d*** on her plate.
like her many #1s…it is forced not organic thanks to Eminem and weak competitors. Great timing though…
They went up with one direction , who had 2 dayes sales on them and EM AND RIH STILL WON. PLus, there are acts from tHE UK who could of beaten them. They still wone, cos they are king and queen.
Beyawnce who ?????????? 🙁
Beyonce the same one with 4 #1s there off 4 albums without being feature. Nice try.
“Elsewhere, Lady GaGa‘s ‘Applause’ now finds itself housed by #36 while Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’ sits comfortably at #7, four spots lower than where it sat last week,”
Enough said.
Congrats to Rihanna, I knew this track would smash, it is an awesome track.
Now can we release the “What now” video and do some live performances, why let such an awesome song go to waste. The Unapologetic era has been wishy washy so far, but congrats on the $100 million tour in just NA and EU, proud of you.
Damn, I need to leak more snippets.
LOL!!
Lady Gaga’s Applause is officially a flop single in the UK
😆 😛 🙁
It will top the US chart as well. The haters are gonna be really mad next week. Funny, people said she was scared to drop an album this year cause of Gaga, Britney and Katy. Well Katy done well for herself, can’t say the same for the rest. 13 on its way real soon…
Why do you guys always feel the need to bring other peoples names into it like wtf this gotta do with GaGa or Beyonce!?
Sam, you forgot to add that Katy Perry’s Prism has dropped to #2 from #1, slaying, Lorde has debuted at #4 and James Blunt is slaying at #3.
Congrats to both of them,i know the song would slay!!! Can’t wait to pick up eminem’s album.Rihanna need to promote what now and release the video. That song is too awesome to flop.
@Monstarebel
Gaga is mentioned in this. Read this part, “Elsewhere, Lady GaGa‘s ‘Applause’ now finds itself FLOPPING like an anchor in water #36, ok I paraphrased a bit but she is mentioned.
NOW PLAYING: “Belong to the world” by The Weeknd
How can you talk about flopping when WB is flopping like a ghetto fish out of government water.
Sweedie, NOT you calling AP a flop and stanning for Flop B**** at the same time.
@ 2 Caca fans above ^^
Britney has been in the business for over 10 years and has sold 100 million albums, she’s got nothing left to prove.
Caca has only been around for 5 years, I can see why you’re so salty.
Sam,
What a week it has been for rihanna. Diamonds world tour tops $100 mill from Europe AND USA DATES. Now, she joins the beatles and Elvis ( u left that out ) in making chart history. Beyonce’s name will never be mentioned in the same breath as pop culture titan’s the fab four and The king. The real King, not that fake black woman calling herself the KING!
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL When is Rita’s new single coming out? It was meant to be out in september.
Why are you so obsessed with Queen Rita?
Sam and many other blogs, even Rita thought that rita would blow up and END RIH. Has that happened? Did Rita Blow up?
HA HA, TALK ABOUT EGG ON YOUR FACE! This year Miley was meant to end Rih. Has that happened?
I still stand by me firm belief, that BEYONCE THREW ALL HER LOVE, attention and money behind Rita,for sole fact of hoping Rita could take Rihannna out and make 2013 clear for beyonce.
Notice that beyonce does not f**** with Rita, now she failed?
Not Listen being in front of applause. That song is like the utimate song on that show.
My v***** literally spread itself when I saw those s*** men in the main pic.
Not Awfulause already flopping to #36. I can’t. ChartFlop will do so badly there.
And where is Born To Botox.
Not Lorde snatching Lana’s hipster crowd.
Born to Die debuted at #1 in the UK (and 10 other countries) and is still top 40 there after nearly two years. Borde isn’t slaying s***, Locals is only smashing in a few English speaking countries.
And not a Cedric stan trying it when his album debuted outside of the top 50 and dropped out of the UK charts after a week.
Lady Gaga fans are threatening to behead my daughter, r*** my mother, and make me have oral s** with a Black man with smelly penis.
🙁
And what’s that got to do with her.
Do we look like the police to you? #WrongNumberBitch #Bettercall911 #Don’tComeForQueenStefani
Artpop is GOOD. BETTER THAN Miley, JT, DRAKE, JAY, BRITNEY ( BASED ON WORK B**** ) AND KATY. The best cuts are: Gypsy ( next single ) Sexx dreams, The trap joint with TI ( much better than katy juicy j trap joint ) Donatella , Fashion, Swine ( could also be a single ) G.U.Y is cleverly written. No one in pop is delivering music on GAGA’S level.
Gypsy pays homage to roma’s gypsies all over the world. U must be out of yo mind if any other singer is writing like that.
ARTPOP HOT SINGLES:
Swine
s** dreams
the song with TI and Too short
Do what u want with Rkelly
Donatella ( love the whole I am rich b**** )
Gypsy
Fashion
IT IS GOOD ALBUM.
Chris Brown is going to jail on monday for 2 years. YES! This really has been a good week.
If this is true, then I’ll drink to that.
8 has another significant meaning to Rihanna. It’s also the number of penises she can fit in that wide v***** of hers.
8 is also the number of step kids Ciara just gained.
cries!!! @mark why you clocking the basics like that?
have you no heart?
weaps LMFAO
At least someone wants to claim her *shrugs*
Congrats Rhi.
Sam,
WHy did u tie in beyonce sales, trying to make it seem like she is outselling rihanna? Rih is on the level of madonna, beatles and Elvis in the UK. BEYONCE IS NON F****** FACTOR IN THE UK.
beyonce is not as big as they make her out. She has never broke records that white people have. Her biggest LP only sold 11 mill. There is not really a country where beyonce breaks records. Not even in the USA. Rih has more chance of breaking mariah reacords than beyonce. Rih was not even born here. That is I laugh singer who say beyonce is the most respected singer and Rih has ro respect. 25 years, from Barbados matching the beatles, Elvis, Mariah and madonna ( white pop icons ) no rich greedy daddy? You damm right she has respect.
Rihanna has outsold Aretha Franklin and broke more records than her. Doesnt mean she will have a legacy like her.
It wasnt. It was the last series of UK X Factor they said that. And Beyonce broke records for fastest selling and most watched at Glasto so what? Same with V. She managed to sell tickets for over £100 who cares about a couple of cents singles? And you keep talking about how you visit the UK. Just own up and admit YOU ARE FROM THE UK and stop lying.
Bey sold 50 mill records in the UK? Most come from destiny child sales, which is not counted. Rih sild 20 mill in the UK as of 2012. Bey would a lot less.
Welp, its ok for you to count Rihannas new #1 as hers, when its really Eminem’s.
Im from the UK, and shes deffo a factor. Hence why they called her the biggest stars ever on X factor. This blogs from the UK so dont be mad.
The second biggest selling female in the UK is Rihanna. Case closes. Madonna is no1 in case u need to know, how iconic rih is the UK.
And Beyonce is 6th with just 4 albums. Outselling Mariah Carey. So shes clearly not a non factor. Chose your words more wisely. Rihanna wins because of her quantity.
This must of been before Rihanna took over, cos Rih is by far the biggest star ever to grace UK XFACTOR. Numbers prove it baby.
YES, she will have an even bigger legacy than Aretha. Most people outside of teh USA, dont even know who Aretha. is. She is more of USA legend than WW one.
Mariah is bigger than beyonce in USA. Rih is bigger than Bey in the UK. That is all.
xoxox
Anyone can drop an album a year. The thing is….will the GP buy it? No one forces the UK GP TO BUY RIH MUSIC IN DROVES. SO that debunks your quantity myth.
Beyonce did not get a single number 1 in the UK from ler last LP and this came after many desperate attempts and singles and promo. She even performed at Glasto but still could not slay as easy as Rih.
ALL that glasto and not one hit that year in the UK, while Rih came along and shut it down with WFL AND TTT. BOOM@! UK LEGEND. BOOM!
I remember being the UK with my UK cousins, and we watched in horror while beyonce tried ( failed ) to offload an slew of singles, in the hopes of hit. This , after she failed to break into the USA BBHOT100 TOP 10.
Nothing stuck with uk GP. Then came WE. FOUND. LOVE.
Now u know why beyonce has been in hiding ever since.
Delusion! Who do you associate yourself with who does not know Aretha? Idiot. Her songs like RESPECT will live on FOREVER. She inspired Whitney, Mariah and practically EVERY black soul singer than came after her. Rihanna will never have that legacy. You said Beyonce is a non factor in the UK, which she is not. And statistically Beyonce is much bigger than Rihanna in the US if we are going by stats. That’s doesn’t make Rihanna a non factor there does it?
In the US Beyoncé has sold 13 million albums with 4 consecutive #1 albums while Rihanna cannot even outsell Beyoncé 4 albums with 7! You don’t see the Hive saying she is non factor in the US. Just because Beyonces stats in the UK are not as big as Rihannas (who has almost double the albums) doesn’t mean shes a non factor. Otherwise her songs wont be beating Rihannas on the Nation favourite POP songs, as she wont be hailed as one of the greatest performers of all time here. So bye with that b*******.
Beyonce got her star in the USA IN1997. She came from top US girl group. But Rih may not have outsold Bey , but she will, she is younger and has more hits. Bey, as it stands, does not look like she is even gonna have a hit again in the usa. Rih is not a non factor in the USA TOO. SHE WILL GET HER13TH NUMBER 1 with Em next week.
You are trying to make it seem like Rih is flop and waste of space in teh USA. 12 USA NUMBER’S AND 6 USA PLATINUM ALBUMS IS BETTER THAN MOST BLACK SINGERS OF THE LAST DECADE. Not to mention she is one of USA MOST PLAYED PEOPLE ON USA RADIO. HER TOURS SOLD OUT IN THE USA AND SHE HAS GRACE THE COVERS OF EVERY MAJOR AMERICAN magainzine
SHE IS GOOD IN THE USA AND ON HER WAY TO BEING a legend in the USA TOO. She has won every AMERICAN AWARD and worked with top Americans like Em , Kanye , Britney and JAY. FALL BACK!
She has worked with huge American brands like budwesier, Mac and Covergirl, Bravo etc. She has been in USA movies, working with American legend like Steven Speiberg, who catsed her. SIT YOUR A*** DOWN.
She is one of the most photographed and tabloid loved women in THE USA – her personal life has gotten more coverage than any other african american person, outside of MJ. Plus, Esquire, USA mag called her the sexiest woman alive. The only other black women to get called than was Halle.
I know u are not DARE TRYING TO SAY RIH IS FLOP IN THE USA.

Rih has covered them all in the USA. If she was a non f****** factor, she would never be on the cover of these TOP WHITE MAGAZINES. I have never seen Ciara on these magazines covers. And she gets called back.
All that and you still don’t get my point. Beyoncé is NOT a non factor in the UK just because Rihanna has better stats there with 7 albums. Just like Rihanna is NOT a non factor in the US even though Beyoncé has better stats there with 4 albums. Case closed.
You’re making it seem like Beyoncé is some kind of flop in the UK when she is 6th best selling artist with 4 albums to her name and over 50 million records there alone. Non factors don’t achieve that. Listing all that s*** does not change my point, Beyoncé still has stronger stats in the US, just like Rihanna has stronger stats in the UK. Neither of them are ‘non factors’ anywhere.
Ok. But……..Rih seems to be getting bigger, Beyonce, appears to be declining. That is where teh shift can happen. They both drop ALBUMS IN 2014. We will see who sells more. In 2011, Rih ended up outselling bey
Talk that Talk – 4.5
4 – 2.8

4……I dont know any hits from that albbum. 2014 will be very interesting, but the sinpptes beyonce was dropping this year were horrid.
bestselling female artist*
Which still does not make her a non factor. All the Navys can do is use one album, 4, which was still the bestselling R&B album that year.
Lets see if Beyoncé was to release a Dr Luke/David Guetta/Red One fuelled album… She would never though. She hasn’t even worked with ONE of them to get an easy hit.
Rih has not worked with Redone. She brought Dr luke on TTT and if was not even her biggest single. David Guetta has never been a major Rih producer.
For UNA SHE used production by Future, Mike Will and an unknown singer called Mickky Ekko and she still outsold beyonce last ablum. Your point? Let’ see if beyonce could get an unkown tram producer and unknown singer an slay with their tracks. Rih MADE MIKE WILL FAMOUS, no one who he was outside of ATL trap scene.
Who gives a f*** about making a producer famous? That’s not her job. You people cling to anything. Whats she getting out of making a producer famous? And Beyoncé has not worked with any of those generic producers, unlike Rihanna. If she was that desperate for a hit she would’ve done that already.
So we just gone ignore the sexiness today? The men in that picture could get all this p****. ALL of it.
The biggest kiii is that I already claimed. #Fallbackbish
The BIGGEST kiii that I actually HAVE a p****. #RunAlongWhore
The biggest kiii is that both of you probably look like Precious. Fine men deserve a fine woman and so if I ever see them I will ask for permission to ride them both.

RIHANNA HA IMPACT!!!
BEYONCE DID NOT PEN “LISTEN” !!!
So true
Where are all these Rih stans when she’s struggling through live performances though?? Y’all only come out when she’s on some chart *rolls eyes* AT least @Shitbird is consistent with his bullish*t….
RiRI NEVER STRUGGLE.
If we weren’t supportive of her live endeavors would her DWT have a tour gross of over 100 mil just for the UK & US Leg
also if we weren’t “here” for her she wouldn’t be on said charts anyways… you tried it for the gods though
Once again, using “numbers” to overcompensate for vocal struggles…
Who really cares when her tour has taken $ 100 mill from just EURO AND USA. LOL LOL ha ha ha
Poor you, loser. You dont even have anything to drag rih’s career. Her live performances? THAT MAKING HER OVER % 100 MILL, B****!
I’m not looking to drag, f*ggot. Her live vocals do enough dragging. My question was clear and has yet to be answered, and has once again been tip-toed around by throwing sales numbers or chart positions…
Most singers, who understand about busines and making money, would take weak vocals and 100 mill tours over powerful melanie fiona vocals and getting dropped by universal.
I throw up sales and charts because…….IT IS CALLED THE MUSIC BUSINESS AND YOUR BLACK ASS is naive as v every other black singer, who has not got a CLUE about how the BUSINESS ACTUALLY WORKS. THAT IS WHY THEY dont have big , lucrative careers like whites and even JLO and her wack voice.
THERE IS A REASON WHY JLO and her wack voice sold 70 million records in less than 10 years and black sangers get dropped.
@Forgive and it’s clear your BLACK ignorant ass is part of the reason we have music that sounds like Gaga, Rihanna (live) etc. in music today. Your f*ggot ass is so busy wishing you were Rihanna and idolizing that b*tch based on her appearance rather than which she offers minus the smoke and mirrors. Business is about trends and unfortunately the “trend” in todays music is terrible music and terrible vocals dressed in an S&M outfit to overcompensate for lack of vocal abilities.
The men who run labels, dont care who can sing or peform live. They care about who makes the most money. If more blacks like you would get that into your thick m***** skull, there would be more blacks in positions of power in the ENT business as a whole. I suppose your m***** skull ass thinks u have to be a know how to act to be a movie star?
Maybe u can explain how fast furious makes near a billion when none of them can really act.
I thought Borde snatched Lana though with her sarcastic Tumblr t*** music? Why did her album only debut at number 4 with a smash #1 hit?
But she is 16. That is impressive. And…..she is not from the USA.
Hi Rih haters
Vogue Australia has flown all the way to barbados to shoot Rih for their cover. Rih has also been names the face of MAC VIVA GLAM FOR 2014. WHEN BEYONCE was on the cover of vogue, they were so lazy all they done was recycle her UK vogue cover. With Rih, they never rihcycle – THEY BOOK NEW SHOOTS FOR QUEEN EACH AND EVERY TIME cos rih is the only singer who LOOKS LIKE SUPERMODEL AND MOVIE STAR. You could see why Australian vogue done Bey like that, who really gives a s*** about bey. So, bey shoots one cover and they use that same cover all over the world. But rih gets a new shoot for each country. MAKING her the REAL black singer with most vogue covers.
HA.
Rih will be the face of viva glamm next year. Mac is owned by esteen lauder. Rih makes a lot of money fo mac and estee lauder, estee lauderis biggest beauty brand in the world, bigger than loreal. Rih will no doubt be the face of Estee lauder making it the most iconic pairing since estee lauder and Liz Hurley. LOL LOL, AT BEYONCE.
How is beyonce’s snippet album /multi video/ calendar coming along?
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL any new deals? New single?
Do you ever shut up with your delusional, biased fabricated essays? The real LOL LOL LOL LOL is you not even being able to spell your favs name right.
boo hoo, h**. BEYONCE WILL NEVER HET A HIT AGAIN.
U better hope not
People hate seeing my fave being more successful than theirs poor them. CONTINUE TO WIN KING RIH!
