Marking an exciting solo endeavour for the ‘Sweet Dreams’ producer, Rico Love‘s new single ‘They Don’t Know‘ made its debut on August 27th of this year, now three months ago.

However, in what points towards a promising commercial run, the single now holds the #18 spot on iTunes R&B, sat just three spots beneath Chris Brown‘s ‘Love More’ and three places above Tamar Braxton‘s ‘All The Way Home.’

On a Pop tip, Miley Cyrus‘ ‘We Can’t Stop’ has the 3 million figure in its sights this week, after its US digital sales arrived at the 2,831,000 mark- doing so as her new album ‘Bangerz‘ sold 24,000 units the last week, bringing it to the 502,000 milestone.

Quite interestingly, despite making more of a splash on the charts, ‘Bangerz‘ now finds itself being outsold by Katy Perry‘s ‘Prism’ which sits at #11 on this week’s Billboard 200 with 524,000 units sold to date!

Last but not least, August Alsina joins the above in welcoming good news this afternoon, thanks to the continued success of his R&B/Hip Hop #1 ‘I Luv This.

For, in what sees him extend his lead as Hip Hop’s fastest rising star, the Southern gentleman continues to dominate iTunes R&B with the aforementioned release. Indeed, with its original version placed at #9, the cut continues its reign over the tally with its Chris Brown and Trey Songz assisted remix, which holds court at #16.

Impressive, as the combined sales of both versions see it become one of the highest selling launch singles to be made by an Urban act in the last year, despite the slow burning sales of its supporting EP ‘Downtown: Life Under the Gun.’

    • 1D>>>>YourLife November 29, 2013

      Rosie won’t be able to deal.

    • Rosie (TROPICO – December 5) November 29, 2013

      Death at me staying on your minds. Worry about Unconditionally flopping harder than Gaga’s new single with 80 million AI.

    • Israel November 29, 2013

      The better album wins, I guess haha. Double Rainbow >>>> Lana’s Discography XD

  3. Molly November 29, 2013

  4. Molly November 29, 2013

    Miley will struggle for platinum.

    • KissesForKelly November 29, 2013

      Then she’d be paying homage to Ciara.

  5. Molly November 29, 2013

  6. KissesForKelly November 29, 2013

    • MarinasDiamonds November 29, 2013

      Does Kelly even perform nowadays.

  7. Molly November 29, 2013

    @KissesForKelly i think you mean paying homage to Kelly seeing as tho Kelly doesn’t have one single American solo PLATINUM ALBUM, Ciara has TWO! hahaha

  8. BrunoMartian November 29, 2013

    August is hot but this thug persona won’t last long.

  9. NT November 29, 2013

    katy and miley are playing NO GAMES

  10. VAIsWhereIReside November 29, 2013

    August is a sweetheart and his interview with this site proved that so yalll can stfu about him being a thug.

  11. KatyKadet November 29, 2013

    August better watch his wig before King Elijah comes and snatches it from him.

    • Elijah’sBijoux November 29, 2013

      True story.

  12. Bondsmen November 29, 2013

    Your comment has no truth to it what so ever!! Reality check real quick, Chris Brown can sing, dance, and everything else
    August let’s his tracks out sing him live. He has no stage presence at all even though he can sing, looking cute will NOT suffice he gotta come harder than that if he gon be mentioned in the same sentence with Trey or Chris Brown period and do not forget about Miguel either. Ad-libbing a track is NOT singing but these performances show he lacks maturity with his stage presence and using his actually good vocal to the best of his ability we don’t need no insecure artists in this industry period he has a lot of work he has do before putting him on that pedestal. Y’all consumers always hoping on something new to point where its useless trying to put the correct prospective before have a seat

    • AubreyOSlay November 29, 2013

      Somebody is mad! August will replace Chris and you now it’s true.

      • HeardAWord November 29, 2013

        If August will replace Chris then Elijah has already replaced August.

  13. Molly November 29, 2013

    I stopped reading after it said Chris brown can sing cause that’s a lie.

  14. h2o November 29, 2013

    As much as I hate Failey Vyrus and wish she gets savaged by dogs, I feel kinda sorry for her. All she’s been trying to do and now she’s left with a flop album.

  15. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 29, 2013

    I’m sorry, Augusta who? It’s all about Elijah Blake whores. And you will deal.

    • cocobutta November 30, 2013

      Last I checked August snatched the wig like an Olympic torch and is still running away.

      Eli would out sing August all day but can’t deny Alsina stole a march with that particular song.

      Question is can the tortoise catch the hare?

  16. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 29, 2013

    Not PRISM slaying the competition so effortlessly like this. Yassss ma, show them who the Killer Queen is.

    Not Artpop selling 42K with 82% 2nd week drop, I can’t.

  17. h2o November 29, 2013

    ArtGOD still outsold SPIRM worldwide, votre point?

  18. britney stan November 29, 2013

    artpop is gonna struggle for gold how sad.

  19. britney stan November 29, 2013

    Not miley bearly going gold after 7 weeks.

  20. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 29, 2013

    Last I checked, Prism 900K WW, ArtFlop 600K, and with those 82% drops I doubt it did 1.2 million like mother moron lied.

    Wasn’t she bragging about an 80K Canadian platinum plaque when ArtFLOP actually sold 25K there? I can’t.

  21. Slayty Perry (Selling Out the O2 Arena Twice on the Same Tour) November 29, 2013

    Poor Miley Cyrus. Everytime she tries to take the top spot a bigger pop star always snatches it from her. Roar has been pass 3x platinum while We Cant Stop is just now getting there and Prism has outsold Bangerz both worldwide and in the US. She tried to steal the AMAs and got outshined by Ariana Grand. Oh well.

    Idk how Rosie can come for Unconditionally when it’s outsold and charted higher than all of Lana’s singles excluding 2. I’m still waiting on those US dates for Lana’s tour too btw. I haven’t forgotten about that 😉

  22. britney stan November 29, 2013

    Prism will outsell born to die like its nothing.

  23. Slayty Perry (Selling Out the O2 Arena Twice on the Same Tour) November 29, 2013

    Artflop has outsold Prism worldwide? Show me the Carfax @H20

  24. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 29, 2013

    @Slayty I know right. How can you come for someone who has 5 #1s from one album when its favs ONLY hit is a watered down generic b-side version of a boring depressing ass song.

    Some people shade themselves.

  25. britney stan November 29, 2013

    Gaga lying to her stans artpop only did 600k worldwide not 1,2 million f****

  26. Super Cisus November 29, 2013

  27. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 29, 2013

  34. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 29, 2013

    What followers, they’ll all disappear once SEXlijah drops, tell that loose booty homo-thug to super glue that wig on because Sexlijah is coming.

  35. iconic cici November 29, 2013

    August is alway someones #MCM on instagram i never see no one post on elijah cause he doesnt matter and looks like a soft insecure f**.

    • JillBilly November 29, 2013

      Insecure? Elijah has always struck me to be uber confident but that’s just me. To be honest, I’d rather buy my little sister an Elijah cd because he seems like a nice young man with a little edge to him.
      August comes across as too ghetto for me.

  36. Super Cisus November 29, 2013

    Floplijah already dropped and ain’t naan one of his songs chart kii #tgjsuperstar #irrelevanteverywhereelse

    • Dance4U November 29, 2013

      Loooooooool. Calling Elijah ugly is like telling Janet that she can’t dance. EVERYBODY knows Elijah is a handsome m***********.

  38. Slayty Perry (Selling Out the O2 Arena Twice on the Same Tour) November 29, 2013

    @Lovebird Sis Summertime Sadness was a remix too. Not even the original song was a hit. Its a self drag tbh.

  39. Molly November 29, 2013

    Teyana Taylor got dropped by Adidas and Lady gagas Twitter account is suspended Lmao.

  40. Stephy Tha Lambily November 29, 2013

    Chris Brown is still loved in my heart but August has a better SOULFUL voice. His voice has so much pain in it. We really need another BLACK MAN to pop off in the industry BLACK SINGER MEN has been flopping like s***. The last BLACK MAN SINGER TO DOMINATE was Usher..

  41. Tim November 29, 2013

    August is a f***, Wait soon y’ll say i told your so n**** trying to hard, But we can see right thru him.

  42. RoyalNavi November 29, 2013

  43. BarbzRUs November 29, 2013
