Ciara’s ‘Overdose’ Sizzles In South Korea / Shifts 500,000 Units In Two Weeks

Published: Saturday 30th Nov 2013 by David

Four months removed since the release, Ciara‘s self titled fifth studio album can now boast of a US Gold single by way of the R&B effort ‘Body Party’ and Hot 100 Top 40 cut in the Dance number ‘I’m Out.’

However, despite the glory they attained in that market, both did very little to push the project internationally, with ‘Party‘s highest position held outside the nation being #43 on Belgium’s Flanders Ultratip Urban chart.

So, just how their predecessor ‘Overdose’  put both cuts to commercial shame?

The answer to that question, below…

Upon its release in the Republic of Korea, the soulful Pop single sold 359,541 units in a single week- arming with it the commercial wings it used to soar to #20 on the Gaon International Digital chart.

A week later, it shifted a further 134,625 copies bringing its total sales to 494,166- holding its Top 50 spot by spending that week at #41.

Now, despite lacking a supporting music video or physical promotion in the nation, the single has cartwheeled its way past the 500,000 mark on a digital front, helped in great part by consistent spins garnered on the market’s Urban radio formats.

Marking the latest applause worthy feat to be scored by the entertainer, ‘Over’s Asian success comes as her 2004 debut ‘Goodies’ edge nearer to global sales of 5 million units, with 2.7 million of those being sold in the US.

    Hi guys 🙂

    Congratulations Cici!!!

    All you need to do now is to drop a video and send it to Top 40/Mainsream radio and then hopefull, it will take off in the US.

    Quick poll: What should be her fourth single? (That is if her label is still supporting her album because I heard from somebody here that they gave up on her album and left her and her manager in charge, hopefully a rumor cause I want to win so bad)

    • BeyWhoUWanna November 30, 2013

      So every song sells that much in that little time? Don’t let your hate overcloud your judgement. Kelly gave away copies of Ms Kelly when it dropped and nobody wanted it, people only buy what they want.

      • ALORS ON DANSE November 30, 2013

        Yes, Call Me Maybe sold 3 million in 1 year alone. And this post is not true:

        #1 this week – The Fox
        Ylvis | The Fox
        29,166

        last week #1 – The Fox
        Ylvis | The Fox
        20,916

        2 weeks ago #1 – The Monster (Feat. Rihanna)
        Eminem | The Monster (Single)

        So this post is a lie.

    • Rosie (TROPICO – December 5) November 30, 2013

      Dead at her first two albums sales being inflated by about 1 million each.
      Even then didn’t the Z Squad say Goodies sold 5 million just yesterday?

    • ALORS ON DANSE November 30, 2013

      Nope, that’s from Wikipedia, inflated as f*** and fake. Shipments, not real sales.

      • stephy tha lambily November 30, 2013

        That website you posted has Britney Spears over Mariah Carey in record sales so your point is invalid… Janet Jackson sold 100 Million records BILLBOARD COMFIRMED THIS 10 years ago

    • ALORS ON DANSE November 30, 2013

      Records yes, but albums no, she’s around 70 million which is not impressive when she released most of them during the peak of album sales and it’s unfair to compare her sales to Ciara’s. Michael, Madonna, Celine would never see 1/4 of their sales if they released them in today climate sales, let’s be honest. And that site includes only albums, not singles and Britney has sold more albums that Janet. I am pretty sure that she has sold more records overall too.

  21. Mrs. Derulo Harris November 30, 2013

    Queen Ciara, it’s time to wake up. WAKE UP!

  22. Tallb November 30, 2013

    i don’t know why she has not promoted this song properly by now…what’s wrong and what is she waiting for? atleast a video or a new performance

    Congrats CiCi now get out and promote you’re album hun.

  26. Rosie (TROPICO – December 5) November 30, 2013

    Cierror stans know nothing about international charts though. Singles in South Korea cost about 12 cents.
    Not to mention she’s nowhere to be found on the official chart. Or any other country’s chart, for that matter. But the tea has already been spilled by a couple of other posters.

  27. RICHIE_RICH November 30, 2013

    Congrats CiCi now get out and promote you’re album hun.

  29. Dance4U November 30, 2013

    Epic are going into liquidation and that’s why she hasn’t been promoting it. TGJ are begging yall to support it so Ciara isn’t dropped because they’ve probably heard she’s going to.
    Bookmark this if you don’t believe me.

    • MadameCici November 30, 2013

      Don’t worry about Epic when Columbia made Beyonce record her album all OVER again boo.

  30. Rosie (TROPICO – December 5) November 30, 2013

    I heard about that.
    Epic is the absolute worst label. Sony will probably move her to Colombia (and spend all her promo money on Beyoncé/Adele/One Direction) or RCA. Or better yet, drop her since no one is here for her except LA Reid.

    • stephy tha lambily November 30, 2013

      I wonder why LA Ried is so invested in her…

    • RICHIE_RICH November 30, 2013

      Ain’t that it.

  34. Cici da baddest November 30, 2013

    Rosie your just mad because lana could never

    • QueenBeyonceIsQueen November 30, 2013

    Lana’s album went #1 in 11 countries and is certified in over 20. I doubt she’s mad. That’s more countries than Cierror has ever charted in.

  37. Rosie (TROPICO – December 5) November 30, 2013

      @Alors On Dance (don’t know if this is going with your comment or not, low budget ass site)
      YAS at Without You. The best song on Born To Die, I don’t know why it was a bonus track. It should’ve been the closer for the standard. It goes perfectly with This Is What Makes Us Girls.

    She should release the video to Smash WW

  40. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 30, 2013

    You cannot blame LA Reid for Ciara’s under performance. Ciara had the biggest promo budget of any artist on EPIC this year. It is her single choices that were the problem.

    Her singles should have been;

    – Body Party
    – Overdose
    – Livin’ it up
    – Read my lips (urban only)

    and the rest of the stuff she released would have come much later. She would have sold 700K and 1.2 million WW with this plan.

    Livin’ it up was a huge hit in South Korea, and now Overdose is. Ciara sat on these two songs and decided to release the non cross-over mess that was I’m out.

    Ciara is to blame, no LA.

  41. Cici da baddest November 30, 2013

    Rosie it took your fav changing her imagine to get noticed and get attention that h** is nothin but a lorde and Adele lessor

  42. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 30, 2013

    @Lana Del Slay

    I’m still waiting for receipts of Born to Die selling 5 million, we all know Interscope is creative with their figures, I mean they did say Plagiarize this way sold 8 million when we all know that’s a lie.

    Also not you coming for Britney when Lana cannot sell without the help of a plastic surgeon. Lizzy Grant proved that.

  59. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 30, 2013

    @Samantha, are you going to post about Gags muppet show FLOP??

    Lady Gaga’s holiday special failed to generate much applause. The ARTPOP singer’s Thanksgiving special with The Muppets disappointed in the ratings Thursday night.

    ABC’s 90-minute Lady Gaga & The Muppets Holiday Spectacular had only 3.6 million viewers and a 0.9 rating among adults 18-49 at 9:30 p.m. That’s considerable less than ABC’s 8 p.m. annual repeat of a 40-year-old holiday special, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (5.3 million, 1.6 in demo).

    Perhaps a more telling comparison: Lady Gaga’s previous ABC holiday effort, A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, aired in this same slot two year ago, but had a 78 percent higher rating (5.4 million total viewers, 1.6 rating). Here’s our writer’s take on last night’s Gaga special (“Gaga and Kermit have zero chemistry”), which featured Gaga performing Christmas classics with Muppet favs, along with guests such as Elton John, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ru Paul.

    Meanwhile: Football was king, of course, with NBC’s Pittsburgh at Baltimore coverage delivering approximately 18.6 million viewers. Fox was the only network to stick with original episodes of its usual lineup, but The X Factor (3.8 million, 1.0) and Glee (2.8 million, 0.9) both performed ultra-modestly.

    I get why you mad, Your irrelevant fave released her flopping album the same day bey got petty and told the world she’s headlining Superbowl and Brandy pathetic existence faded away.. Aww
    I get why you mad. Apparently in South Africa brandy was one of the performs of Mandelas Concert but only 45 people stayed in 90K stadium when she came in everyone just left. It was the most embarrassing thing to date.

  68. MUSICHEAD November 30, 2013

    I really like Ciara but somehow I don’t think this is true. There is no way she could have sold that many singles charting so low in that country. I could be wrong but it’s just not adding up.

      Canada has a higher standard log living, better healthcare, better education, less poverty, and less crime than the US.
      Call me back when you can provide with statistics, not YouTube videos. Especially when I can pull up at least 50 dumb news reports from the US in less than 2 minutes.

      • CherylSoldier November 30, 2013

        lmao at you thinking you have better education and health care. US doctors and health services are unmatched in the world. the system is just expensive. and Canada has better education? that’s why all of the world’s best universities are in the US tho?

      OMG LOL!!! I’m sorry but that is hilarious hahaha!!

  70. Brazilian Beyonce!!! November 30, 2013

    ccording to the Guardian, the singer traveled to South Africa to perform a show in Johannesburg  for the Mandela Sports and Culture Day. The event was jam-packed and lasted a majority of the day, and Brandy was actually a surprise guest set to perform at the end of the event. Unfortunately, either folks couldn’t wait for the surprise, or they just didn’t care about the music segement because according to reports, no more than 40 people showed up to watch her “Put It Down” on the stage. She eventually walked off the stage after doing a couple of songs for the small crowd.

    Numerous people, including South African musician Kabomo, took to social media to express their shock at the sparse turnout:

    “Brandy [just] performed to an empty stadium. With the stadium lights on. People didn’t know there was a concert after the games. No one knew Brandy was around. Maybe a 40 people audience … She sulked after two songs and walked off.”

    “Well Brandy is going to perform for herself and Mbaks only. Stadium now empty. #nelsonmandelasportsandcultureday”

    “@BeatleBeat lols hai friend…I gave up the min I saw the empty stadium. Brandy performing for the chairs! (/.\)”

    But the Guardian says that it really had nothing to do with the singer. Tens of thousands of people came to the event mainly to watch the football and rugby matches that took place, and many slowly but surely began leaving when the music segment began. With four other performers coming on before B Rocka, and she being tagged as an unnamed “special guest,” by the time she finally came out, folks seemed like they couldn’t wait around any l0nger. It was a day-long event. *shrugs*

    But I’m mad at television broadcasters in Johannesburg. According to The Guardian, while they covered and broadcasted a majority of the events that took place, “SABC, the country’s national TV channel, ended their broadcast of the concert before the singer came on stage.” They just insisted on doing this woman absolutely greasy. But alas, such is the reality for a lot of performers when they take their act abroad. Keri Hilson performed in Nigeria in 2012 and attendance was reportedly scant. But Brandy’s reps contacted TheYBF to give a statement where they don’t deny the report, but play it down:

    “She was booked at the last minute to fly to South Africa to support a “cause”–not a concert. It was a cause that honored “Mr. Nelson Mandela” and there was other performers on the bill besides Brandy. She attended because she wanted to support the foundation and Mr. Mandela…a man who has changed history. This whole story has been blown out of proportion and Brandy has sold out shows across the world including South Africa before.”

    I would have stuck around for Brandy though. I still blast Never Say Never like it came out yesterday…

  71. Cici da baddest November 30, 2013

    Brandy would never perform for 45 that’s something expect lana to do.

    • Rosie (TROPICO – December 5) November 30, 2013

      Lana can sell out 18K capacity arenas on her first tour, while Cierror is stuck getting sued in the middle of gay pride parades.

  73. Jamie November 30, 2013

    Ciara 8 million sold worldwide

    Nicki 6 million sold worldwide

    Lana 4.4 million worldwide

    • Rosie (TROPICO – December 5) November 30, 2013

      Absolute death at this inflation. More like
      Lana – 5 million
      Cedric – around 4.5 million
      Icki – 4.2 million
      Not to mention neither Icki or Cierror have sold 4 million copies of one album. Once again Lana wins either way.

  74. Brazilian Beyonce!!! November 30, 2013

    Brandy is more successful than bey? LMAO.
    Even Rihanna is a bigger star than Brandy. Even Ciara is bigger than Brandy.
    S*** is bigger than Brandy.

  78. Slayty Perry (Selling out the O2 Arena twice on the same tour) November 30, 2013

    Did anyone else read the hot tea Billboard served Gags today? They scalped her bald
    “The real reason this show existed, of course, was to promote Gaga’s new release, “ARTPOP,” and little could she have guessed when the special was filmed just how much help the album would need come late November. The project just sank from No. 1 to No. 8 in its second week out, suffering the steepest sales drop-off (82 percent) of any chart-topper in 2013. Courting the turkey-narcotized family audience to rush in where her gays have failed her suddenly seems prescient, and you’d hope any parents tempted to go buy “ARTPOP” for their art-tots will be bright enough to assume not all the songs are as G-rated as the ones scattered throughout the special.

    The misnamed “Spectacular” had a distinctly low-budget ‘70s feel, which initially threatened to be charming — family-friendliness as affectionate camp and all that — although eventually it was hard to discern just how much of the downmarket vibe was deliberate. Gaga’s miming of all her “ARTPOP” material could have been read as a tribute to a bygone era of variety specials, if not for the fact that she also lip-synched some of her “SNL” appearance a couple of weeks ago. She clearly has the chops to do it live, but maybe the decision to stick with the recorded versions reflected a desire that the show at least have audio production values, if not visual.”

    • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 30, 2013

      Noooooo, not Billboard scalping the t***** bold like that. I cannot.

    ” The Writing’s on the Wall was certified 8× Platinum by the RIAA on November 6, 2001. The album has sold over 15 million copies worldwide.”

        Not you clinging to that PR scheme Beyonce’s team is trying to push just because her numbers are basic compared to her peers.

        Alicia Keys, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Xtina didn’t need the HELP of Kelly and Michelle to sell.

  81. Luka November 30, 2013

    The part about Overdose doing good on “urban radio” in Korea is a lie in it of itself. America and Canada are probably the only countries in the world with different formats for radio stations that people actually pay attention to, and radio stations in Korea don’t even play Western music

  82. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) November 30, 2013

    Good for you Cici! Nice to see you win. Overdose is a great single, I wish it had better handling though..

    Yes! I Am So Happy & Proud Of Ciara’s Success This Year. #1 Urban Single. Top 25 Hot 100. #2 Album USA. Gold Certification. VMA, AMA, & Peoples Choice Nomination. Now All These Units Shifted In Korea. “Overdose” Is Destined For Success, No Matter Where That Might Be.

Get Over It, Ciara Is Clearly Here To Stay. Stop Comparing Her. It’s Been A DECADE & She is Still Making Waves In Music, Media, Magazines, Blogs, Etc. That My Friends Is WINNING & Longevity, No Matter How You Look at It. Congrats To Ciara, Epic, Her Team, & CSquad For The Continued Success!

  85. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 30, 2013

    LMAO, not the giving buying the PR scheme Beyonce’s team is trying to push.

    I’ve never hear MJ, Justin Timberlake or even Bowe claim Jackson 5, N’sync or Beatles sales, why, they don’t need HELP to sell albums.

    That claim is as credible as Beyonce’s “Grammy’s” when Matthew was on the Grammy committee.

  86. Brazilian Beyonce!!! November 30, 2013

    Billboard and various sources confirmed that Destinys Child Sales are Beyonces Sales because Beyonce was Destinys Child.
    DC was relevant because of beyonce

    • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 30, 2013

      Is that so, then how many albums have Bowe, Justin Timberlake and MJ sold??

      I guess that means Bowe has passed MJ as the most successful male artist of all time.

      I can’t at this self shade LMAO.

  87. h2o November 30, 2013

    Brandy is NOT more successful than Beyonce.

    Beyonce has since 1998 sold 30 million+ albums in the US alone according to Billboard.

    Beyonce is today’s biggest female touring act since Madonna, current tour will pass $200 million worldwide in 2014.

    With all respect, I don’t see how Brandy is anywhere as big as Bey atp ..

  88. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 30, 2013

    Not Destiny’s Child was successful because of Beyonce delusion when Beyonce’s sales without the HELP have been swan diving to the bottom of the billboard charts.

  89. Brazilian Beyonce!!! November 30, 2013

    Still cannot change it.. Beyonce is DC. We can sit here and argue the whole day it won’t change haha 🙂

  90. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 30, 2013

    But Brandy didn’t need THE HELP to sell albums.

  91. TheHive November 30, 2013

    Lmao at everbody still callin it a flop

  92. Brazilian Beyonce!!! November 30, 2013

    Beyonce did all the work!
    Wrote the songs
    Gave Epic Vocals
    Out shined Every member
    Made the group pretty much relevant
    Sang almost 80% of the songs, some songs she sang alone e.g “Brown Eyes”.
    You’re really trying boo.
    Keep on failing …. I can’t tbh

  93. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 30, 2013

    If Beyonce is Destiny’s Child then Rihanna has sold over 230 million records (50 million albums + 180 million digital tracks) making her the most successful artist of the last 10 years. Such a global iconic queen.

  94. Brazilian Beyonce!!! November 30, 2013

    Even without DC
    Beyonces CIL is still way more Iconic than any Brandy single.
    #FailsAgain LMAO

  95. Brazilian Beyonce!!! November 30, 2013

    We are not even talking about Rihanna.. So childish
    Dark Skinned people are dumb exactly like they dark brain!

  96. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 30, 2013

    Lmao I like how you think calling someone dark skinned is an insult. It’s like calling someone a f** or homosexual.

    I will maintain Rihanna has sold over 230 million records if you’re going to maintain Beyonce is DC.

  97. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 30, 2013

    Brandy and Beyonce love each other, no beef between them or the Starrz/Hive BUT Brandy was slaying when DC was still performing in middle school talent shows. First black Barbie, successful movies, first black Cinderella handpicked by Whitney Houston herself, star of one of the longest running black sitcoms on television, over 20 million records sold before the age of 30, Covergirl, still holds the record as one of the youngest artists to have a #1 (13 weeks) on billboard …. And I can go on and on. Let’s not discredit Brandy.

    She never sold 500K since Ylvis – The Fox is the biggest INTERNATIONAL SONG OF THE YEAR in Korea and it is about to sell over 500K, this week or next week.
    359 K it’s what big local artist like 2NE1, SNSD, BigBang pull in 1 week where they are #1, Ciara is no Amerie aka the only American to pull Local numbers (even if she had the help of Local Idols like 4Minute, Se7en & TaeYang). And she is not Beyonce who sold 2 Millions records this year (but it was her entire discography and also she’s been covered all year long by singers like Ailee, Hyorin, 2NE1, Kahi, and Reality TV contestants).

    And It can’t have a major success in Urban Radio in South Korea, on the simple fact there is no radio format there like in Western Countries.
