This year, music lovers can look forward to new LPs from a number of Pop gems, with the likes of Rihanna, Ciara and Nicki Minaj sharpening their swords for chart battles in the months to follow.
However, before they ladies mentioned above impact the charts with a new sound, Lana Del Rey and Mariah Carey are given good cause to celebrate the impending launches of their new projects, after both welcomed new radio and sales achievements recently.
Want to be in the know?
Meet us below…
Perhaps the light at the end of her iTunes tunnel, Adult Contemporary radio formats kicked off their support for her new single ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)’ this month, weeks before the May 6th unveiling of her new album.
Thanks to their support, the single made the greatest debut on the format this week and arrived at #26, and now-if received by well the format’s listeners- should see the song follow suit on all of the formats it’s being serviced to.
More interestingly- and a more lucrative tip- her success on AC stations may see her new album exceed current expectations and win the support of ‘older’ audiences, who usually opt to purchase LPs over singles.
Elsewhere, the release of Lana Del Rey‘s ‘Tropico‘ went a long way to push sales of the New Yorker’s music, with sales of her ‘Born To Die‘ debut now well over the 719,000 mark in the UK.
As if that wasn’t enough to silence those in doubt of her ‘pulling power’, the starlet now has three US Platinum singles to her stage name, after both versions of ‘Summertime Sadness‘ joined ‘Young and Beautiful’ to greet the Recording Industry Association of America’s Platinum hand, for sales of 1 million units…each.
LANA > MOORIAH FLOPREY

congrats lady….
And no Mariah shade… good for TGJ
That picture tho. Only Lana could serve up as much beauty in one photo. You can all beat on the old dead ‘plastic surgery’ drag but the fact still remains that she is one of the best looking females in the music industry at the moment.
Death at her proving all those f*** that said Summertime Sadness was a flop without the remix after it has went platinum on its own.
Lmao you’re mine is a total flop.
Lana is basic at best not that cute IMO
It’s over for Mariah. She is destroying her legacy. She has enough money to last her 20 lifetimes. She should just stay at home and blow her millions.
Tbh sis if anyone destroyed there legacy it would be Bey she used to be such a sweet humble classy girl now she’s a drunk h** in love talking about being on her knees and having c** all over her dress very trashy you shouldn’t talk thanks.
Death at a fadga Stan saying anyone ruined their legacy when fadga’s career has went down the sh*tter
Death at Lana still not making the impact that Gaga has made, Tell me why G.U.Y has 13 million views meanwhile Flopico only has 3 million kiiiiiiii
The real kii is that nearly half of ARTPOP’s shipments have remained unsold. I would hope fadga would have more views by now since the little cutters have been sitting on their computers all day long refreshing the video.
you betta drag slay!
Mariah’s legacy remains in tact. Bandwagonyonce could only dream of being a true artist like Mimi. Goodbye b****.
You as a Beyonce stan are the absolute last to talk about legacy. How many times has your fave been accused of stealing? That’s what I thought. As an artist, being accused of plagiarism( especially several times throughout your career) is literally the worst thing that could happen. You lose much recognition as an artist and your talent is forever questioned. Beyonce’s “legacy” has been shot down years ago which is no wonder why you are so bitter about Mariah. Mariah’s legacy is engraved in stone like all other legends. Her artistry, success, and her accomplishments will not be tainted nor forgotten.
#Now move along
hahaha READ IT DOWN @Touche !
Ok, she’s been accused of stealing, but what pop star hasn’t though? Who even cares about that other than you hating ass b****** on these blogs? After all of that Beyonce is still here outselling your faves, she’s a touring GOD, and respected by just about everyone in the industry from critics to legendary artists alike. Her career also spans two decades. From being the lead vocalist of one of the best selling girl groups of all time to her impressive solo accomplishments. 17 grammys, performing for the president TWICE, ACCLAIMED perfromer! Her legacy is intact! She will definitely be remembered whether you bitter hateful b****** want to accept it or not! 🙂 Find a new excuse to discredit Beyonce for because the “stealing” accusations haven’t stopped a damn thang! #TOtheLEFT
ROFL! I knew you would respond as usual. Most pop stars not only don’t get accused as much as artists like Beyonce, they certainly aren’t sued as much and always have to settle out of court. The rest of your comment is worthless because as I said before, her credibility as an artist as been shot down years ago. She could get a diamond album, sell more than the spice girls, get more awards than Whitney, get more grammys than Aretha, etc. for all I care. It still doesn’t change the fact that she is a dreadful thieving artist who has lost so much respect and credibility with the general public. Her “legacy” shall remain destroyed and forgotten.
#Stay mad
*has been
And I knew you were going to respond with “Beyonce gets accused more” b******* excuse! If I’m not mistaken stealing is stealing, but because Beyonce is the bigger star she gets the most flack for it (from pressed forum f***).
DEATH @ you saying her credibility as an artist has been shot down by the “GP” Do you mean the same WW GP that’s supporting her tour? The same GP that bought 3 Million copies of her new album? The critics that are praising her left and right?(85 metacritic) 😉 The same Grammy committee that’s awarding her all of these prestigious grammys? Her credibility seems to be just fine to me!
“Her “legacy” shall remain destroyed and forgotten.”
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
You are so pressed, your comment lacks any type of logic. I can’t even take you serious! Take some of the bitterness out of your opinion and maybe you’ll make a little more sense 😉
Aww… I see the little hivy stan is still upset that their fave is a joke. Anyway, I will continue to bring up Beyonce’s thievery as long as I please. You can keep bringing up sales, awards, and other b******* accomplishments all you want; it will not change the fact that she is a dreadful thieving artist who is not respected and has lost credibility. In fact, she reminds of Madonna. Madonna is one of the most if not the most successful female pop star in the industry yet she has always been accused of stealing and has even been sued more times than Beyonce lol. That just tells people that success means nothing if you don’t have the talent to back it up. Now, you may continue to bask in your delusion because Beyonce will be forgotten like all the rest 😀
#Sorry boo
HIVY? LOL girl try again. I’m far from upset. I just enjoy CORRECTING bitter b****** like yourself!
I will keep bringing up her sales, awards and other accomplishments because they are a part of her CREDIBILITY that you are spitefully denying she has! You have been proven wrong hun. “thievery” hasn’t stopped nothing. Learn to deal b**** 😉
Now you want to bring up Madonna, Which further proves my point that Beyonce is not the first nor last to be accused of “stealing” and she will STILL be respected just as much as Madonna is today! 😉
BTW Beyonce has talent unlike Madonna. You know it. I know it, the world knows it, and if she hasn’t been forgotten not even a tiny bit after 17+years, I HIGHLY doubt she’ll be “forgotten” like the “rest” I CAN’T!
Make sense babe 😉
oops posted in wrong section. hehe
you betta drag slay!!
Katy is ugly as f*** have you seen that ho w/o makeup? Yikes
Lana is gorgeous btw
Kudos to her plastic surgeon!
Yaaas.
Lmao make up does wonders for people like Lana Beyonce Katy & Rihanna, Yea Lanas pretty after 50 surgeries Lmao
A fadga Stan critisizing anyone’s looks when their fav looks like a Bulgarian t*****
The only t***** i see is Beyonce tbh.
Lana and Beyonce stans hating on Queen Mariah? What’s new? 25 years + 220 million plus records sold = a solid legacy that Beyodel or the other unmentionable will never have.
You better hold on tight to the past cause you’ll have nothing else to brag about now your fav is a supreme flop
The supreme SONGBIRD f** b****. Your fave could never.
The lifespan of a songbird is roughly around 7 years. Appropriate no? That’s about as long moo’s voice lasted after she started singing.
You’re Mine

Lmao these Lana stans need to sit down your fav had one successful album and you think she’s doing something people let Lana stans get away with talkin so much s*** when there fav hasn’t made any impact even Ashanti and carly rae jepsen have made more of a impact then Yawna.
I agree. Who died and made Lana important? I don’t see her lasting 5 more years or making a true impact on the industry. Botoxed w****.
Kiii there more delusional then the c squad tbh
Don’t worry…..
You’ll be sitting down….. Then going into hiding again after G.A.Y has finished flopping.
Oh sis i don’t go into hiding no Lana stan can put fear in my heart, Gaga will always be above the untalented piece of garbage Lana.
Oh Samantha. Nothing makes your day like stan war driven post lol.
Lana is really the bottom of the barrel b**** she has no grammys no # 1 hit or album made zero impact she had to change her whole identity to get noticed she can’t sing for s*** her music is f****** horrible she’s ugly she won’t have longevity.
Congrats to KING Bey!!!!
Mariah will always be seen as a vocal legend Like Lana will always be seen as the b**** who gave the worse SNL performance ever.
Lana > Gaga >>> Mariah(who is that?)
Lana is ART personified. Of course you simple queens wouldn’t understand her music. Stick to Ke$ha and Katy and leave the real talent to us!!!
Love you, Lana!!!
Born to die is only 719K in the UK? Don’t some artists sell way more than this. Don’t Lana fans make such a huge fuss about how global Lana is and yet she’s doing the standard of what most US artists sell in the UK.
Imma need Lana fans to explain this one too. With the way Lana fans brag about her, you would think she would have passed the 1 million mark already in the UK; guess not.
BTD is past 900k in the UK and will go triple platinum soon
Why is Samantha reporting 719K then?
Sam is reporting WELL OVER 719k
I’m over throwing shade at Mariah; it’s as boring as her forgettable payola hits.
Speaking of hits, how is Partition doing?
Why is Rih afraid to release sis?
Hahahaha, so when she release every year, she’s scared to take a break and when she takes a break, she’s scared to release? You haters are sad, lol.
Sheeesh these Lana fans are really becoming annoying as s*** like yall really be bitter over nothing.
Lana is the best female singer of the past 10 years, point black period, Born to Die/Paradise is a masterpiece, should be included on every list of best albums of all times, personally i think is second only to Ray of Light, better than anything any other female singer has done besides Madonna, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey & Bjork.
Wow really?? I loved it but just No. Relax. Are you high on drugs?
Lets see where Lana is at during her 3rd album Lana fans are going to get bad karma watch when Lana starts struggling & we will know why.
Struggle would be Ciara. No platinum album in almost a decade. Poor dat…
Meanwhile it seems like it took Lana a decade just to get a platinum plaque.
However Lana has outsold Ciara’s entire discography in just two years. She’s about to out wealth her also. Poor babymamara.
Ciara has sold way more records then Lana please have a seat cracker.
@Molly Lana fans need to learn from the Monsters who are now in hiding.
Ultrasound better not flop; that’s all I’m gonna say.
Exactly they are becoming worse then the monsters tbh.
@S****** ok you just confirmed you’re delusional as f****.
C-squad is the epitome of ‘delusional’
It’s all a matter of taste, Ciara is an Urban artist, Lana is indie.
@S****** Lana is ONE OF the best songwriters of the past 10 years.
You must be deaf if you think Lana can sing.
You must be deaf if you think Rihanna can sing.
Rihanna got a standing ovation at the Grammy’s for stay, she can sing.
Unpurchased:3.6 <<<<< BTD: 5 MILLION
BTD 4.6 million.
waiting on Lana to receive a grammy.
Ok you are doing the most, i already teach you something yesterday but you didn’t care, btw, aren’t you a Rihanna (who i also love), talking about voices, keep calm babe, Lana is superior to all the Pop girls when it comes to talent.
Rihanna is a BETTER singer than Lana; Lana cannot sing in key passed B flat, and that is not including her whispering and yodelling so let’s not.
Secondly; you cannot base the prowess of a pop star on their first album; especially in this generation where people have a short attention span.
Lana could be like Gaga; a fad that comes and goes every now and then. You know like Carley Rae Jensen’s call me maybe.
Let her pass the sophomore curse and then we’ll talk.
Congrats, It should have went platinum sooner 🙂
Lana talent = none
*Ciara
Ciara’s talent & success = none.
Your opinion not fact.
TELL IT LIKE IT IS
*Ciara
Anyway I await the release of ultrasound; the media has been very mute about it.
You would think with Lana being “the queen of Interscope” there would be some Born this way hype and incredible marketing behind her.
Alas we’ll see.
“Lana is superior to all the Pop girls when it comes to talent.”
THE DELUSION IS THICK UP IN THIS BITCHH.
Name a pop girl who is superior to her, in before your list, no dancers please, musicians only, songwriters, producers, artists who plays instruments, thanks.
It damn sure ain’t Ciara.
Gaga Bey Miley Adele.
I really don’t know why Ciara fans think they can come for other artists. Ciara hasn’t been relevant nor successful in 7 years. She flops constantly. Her last three albums combined prolly haven’t sold 500k total.
Please tell me you are just trolling , i said Musicians, Adele is a vocalist who’s talents are limited to that (sing), same with Bey (an amazing performer, not a musician), Gaga is the only one with real music skills among those you mentioned and still is not on Lana’s level.
No crack addicted f*** please tell me your trolling Gaga maybe lots of things but she is very musically talented she shits on Lana and i don’t even like gags please stay off the drugs.
@ S******
Your definition of a musician is incorrect. A musician is a person who essentially is able to make or perform music. The voice is an instrument so vocalists/singers are technically musicians by definition. Now, “Gaga’s music skills are not on Lana’s level”? Not only is Gaga an accomplished pianist, she is a songwriter (she’s written the chords,lyrics, melodies, etc.), and her virtuoso far surpasses Lana’s. To say she is beneath Lana in relation to music skills is just delusional.
Adele writes her own music.
Hey guys give @s****** a break! At least he was nice to Gaga this time… 🙂
Alicia Keys. But I tot understand where you coming from. In MY book
Musicians: Stevie Wonder, AK, Elton John, even Gaga when she’s LIVE. MArs.
Vocalist: Houston, Dion, I guess MC (even tho she rarely sing LIVE)
Entertainers: Beyonce, TLC, Usher, MJ, Pink, Aaliyah.
Performers: Madonna, Janet, (old) Britney Spears
Singers: Monica, Brandy and more R&B singers.
There’s more, but those are the ones I can think of right now.
Mariah’s struggle tho! Congrats to the underdog Lana snatching!

Congratulations Lana!
BeYAWNce’s struggle to stay relevant without acting like a ratchet stripper whoooore ! Jay-Z pimped that !!!!
If selling 1 Million in a week is a “struggle” then sign me tf up!! 😉
Gay-Z is the ultimate pimp ! He turned that housewife into a ho !
kii The struggle! ^^^^^ My job here is done! 😉
Lana fans are the most delusional!! Not only that but the b**** can’t produce a song without bringing up death or s******
Preach gorgeous!
how you been sus?
I may get dragged for this, but…You’re Mine (eternal) is a great song. Why it’s been such a chart flop really doesn’t make sense. It’s emotional, well produced and tight. I’m not craze about the remix but it’s cool. Personally, I think the video killed this song. It should have been more introspective…more vulnerable and showing Mariah being love sick over a lost love. A compelling video with great visuals could have turned the tide on an otherwise solid, R&B song.
Good luck, MC!
It´s very good. Bu it´s obvious mainstream is not into that type of music right now, that´s why it is underperforming. Not to mention every song needs radio support to be liked and a hit, especially if you are over 40. Look at Gaga´s GUY, eberybody loved the video, but the masses need to hear it again and again like they are forced to hear Rihanna´s or Katy´s songs again and again on the radio, if not, the song doesn´t sell.
RIHANNA JOINED XFACTOR LMAOOO HASBEEN
Lmao really? #Fail
Hahaha the irony
Back from class. This is the most coverage Lana has gotten on this blog since Tropico lol. At least all the relevant music sites post about her on a regular basis. As usual the haters stay trying and failing to drag the indie queen and her worldwide success, impact, and longevity.
Also death at a Icki stan calling us delusional when it’s fave is a bigger has been than Fadga.
Hahaha i’m seeing @Applause on a regular basis now, it’s nice to see the monsters help me out again. I think i’m no longer a lone ranger on this site.
Thing with lana is, I do like some of her songs but people have a point about her not being able to write a song about s****** or death!
The lana fans really are delusional though. You brag as if she went platinum in the same year she released BtD, meanwhile it’s been 3 years! Yet you come for everyone else who has potential to see platinum before an album birthday.
Shame rosie, the drag fest was so hard, it could say nothing
No, I was at college, working hard getting my degree unlike the welfare Wendy’s-employed drag queens who run this website.
Haha aside from stanning, you’re respected by me for your ability to stan.
Twitter?
Hmm excuse me but I´ve been defending Gaga the whole time way before you came to this blog. And @DOSSOME too and a few others who are not blind by hate. You know, most of us who have been defending her are the ones you are mistreating in this post, fans of true legends. Be nice please (and yes @s****** has totally lost it, he doesn´t count 🙂 ).
Haha yeh, I just didn’t know how to spell your name :p
But i’m talking about monsters.
My own fanbase.
And wait, I thought the lana and basic perry fans were clinging to each other? What’s this happening here? 😛
I guess she is succumbing to her ex=husband’s wish for her to be like the legend Connie Francis.
I’m sick of people like @s******
They stan for living corpses and throw stats around from the stone age from when their fave was important!
At least with the hive, navy, kuntyCats, C-squad and duck rays, they can produce payola slips from this generation.
If you gonna argue with our faves, the CURRENT POP BETCHES, make sure you use your Dinosaurs last LP as a reference!
Now bow down and sit to the leading ladies
As I understood, this is an urban blog, not a retirement homes complaints forum.
I prefer off to the races and video games, but summer time sadness visually (video) is a good song tbh
The current group of so called pop females are pathetic.. Most of them are gimmicks, whose music is terrible.. Wtf are u tlkn about? Having longevity is the key.. These current chicks struggle to go platinum with gimmicks, stage props, whacky clothes, and visual distractions.. MC’s “Beautiful” struck platinum and was number on iTunes in a run of countries. Therefore, your point is null & void.. Will anyone care about these horrid a** gimmicks if radio wasn’t supporting them? Ok then !!
Pressed? Have you seen where Mariah is sitting on the charts now though? The gimmicks and fashion sure is outselling her CURRENTLY!
See that root word “current”?
Point made
Lana is a great songwriter, producer etc. but she falls short when it actually comes to singing ability
TGJ writes are terrible. If 1 million copies are platinum in the USA I´m pretty sure Lana reached platinum in the UK long ago if she has sold more than 700,000 copies from her album over there. The title of the post was misleading once again, and once again the info given was mixed in an incoherent way.
Not to mention Sam’s receipts are outdated. I don’t know what the UK sales are at this very moment but BTD was at 855K there in November. It’s probably at or very close to 900K by now.
Probably!
*plays “Dark Paradise” by Lana and then “Artpop” the song*
Lol I see slay_hive is still dragging heauxs effortlessly lol.
MC can sit where she chooses, she has that option for she has accomplished more and brought more to the music industry than all of these alleged artists combined.. Apparently the gimmicks aren’t working, when these chicks have multiple number ones, crazy media exposure & barely sale a million albums with all of that.. They wish that they can have the impact/longevity/accomplishments of one of music few real “Icons”.. If anyone is pressed its u with those weak claims.. Lol..
Imma need Florence Welch to come back out and hand Lana her wig and her botox syringe!
I can´t wait for a new Florence album!
