KING!!!!!!
when will Lana?
Did OffKeyshia’s last album go plastic?
Well You can’t expect people to buy over produced and un completed music
Umm this is still a slay. . the man has been dead almost 5 years
Those are good sales for a posthumous album, just got to show you that people buy things only because of household name even if the material is mediocre.
Good for him I’m here for it. When will the hippo?
Hippo aka beyonce lol
Yes hunty pop music is not be taken seriously you wanna listen to deep
Music go listen to jazz or blues then do you need see the generic music that’s on top? #selfie, what the fox says? They’re fun catchy songs stop bringing vocals into pop music pop is about fun not deep stuff have a seat a rihanna clearly is not an album seller she’s a single artist so what albums don’t sell no more are you dumb enough to comprehend that or something that I needs to explain it? Keep trying
around the same time ur fave gets vocal codination,or any vocals at all
Baby my fave is pop music she don’t need to have amazing vocals for pop. Pop is about entertaining catchy tunes and dancing..rihanna has never try being a vocalist so nice try.
so what u are basically saying is u are buying junk…saw that entertaining catchy dancing tunes on baby toys last week and kidz be crying for such junk…explains her album sales
When will The S*** of All S**** Slutianna?
WHO is gonna be #1? Never heard of them
WHAT!…The Black Keys, you don’t know them, trying not to scream…breath, calm down, count to three, remember you are on Thatgrapejuice.
Don’t nobody care about those bearded f****
the way the nazi ooops i meant navi are always dragging bey into convos u would swear they were the stans.u wanna compare sales cause u know errrbody murders rih talent wise…cant sing,cant act..just depends on her nazi teenage fan 2 buy her music cause teenagers would buy anything including dog sh*t
But rih has never try being a vocalist she’s all about catchy tunes and good POP MUSIC you don’t need to have amazing vocals to be a pop singer so have several seatsss you wanna hear real vocalist go listen to jazz blues or soul so you try it babe! #fail
dont use the word good and rihanna in the same sentence without including not or anything but between them…or was it a typo?
Girl you sound stupid is not funny lol as generic as her music can be still catchy and making her money why are you so bother?
bothered is u navis tryna bring other peoples faves into posts that dont involve them..this is a michael joseph jackson post incase u missed the headline,story or pic…u know what else is catchy,a common cold
Lmfaoo but how pathetic can you obviously don’t have nothing better else to say with your wack comebacks lol it’s safe to say you’re dismissed boo boo!
I cannot stand music sales predictions but this looks decent.
That’s good , 140k-150k first week for a posthumous album, that’s more than some living artists
Lol bey who?
Come thruuuuu MJ!
shocked you dont know her considering she inspired mariahs whole album cover and the name…sorry already said too much
Is either you’re retarded or delusional in no way did beyonce inspire mariah lui dumb trick you clearly are delusional there’s been other albums with a cover like that (Vanessa williams the comfort Zone) so
You mean to say that any artist that comes out with album like that is gonna copy beyonce? Girl have a seat you’re beyond delusional and the I am.. Is not a beyonce trademark so hush babe
they look nothing alike and i like the way i said the whole name coping thing & u came up with the whole iam thang all on ur own..i did say how bey inspired it but u knew how cause u saw it too huh…my fav saying…grab the bull by its horns & a man by his tougne.u explained exactly wat was wrong..lol
Girl you make no sense I try rereading again and you just sound stupid just stop it you’re making a fool out of yourself do you not see.
“Bey who?” Bey is the one who sold over 800.000 copies in first week. Lookin’ for any seats? This way please.
She sold what like a million copies in the first 12 days in the US alone and right now it stands at 1.9 million in the US and it’s been what almost 6 months since the released of “BEYONCE ” so literally she has only sold 900,000 k in 5 months? Lmaooo woohoo beyonce what kinda of slayage lol that album obviously went Into a huge decline after those 12 days lol have several seats boo
because she isnt promoting it..and those severals seats would be more handy for the navi and rih,so they can hear what real talent sounds like..and im not talking about rihs hero performance.god knows no one would buy a seat for that
Why you keep bringing real talent up? I’m I suppose to get mad or something it is more than obvious that rihanna has a dial tone vocals and she can’t dance but you need great vocals for pop music is pop musc why do you keep bringing the same argument again are you that stupid that you can’t understand I’ll say it again YOU DONT NEED REAL TALENT FOR MUSIC do you not see what’s hot out there. Lol keep trying it at the end of the the day rihanna is making them coins while you’re pressed and hating.
Whats a black key?
people gonna top mj..how can u comment if ya cant read…lets start B-L-A-C-K
MJ is not here to promote HIS record. Considering many fans are boycotting the record I think the sells are pretty good but at the same time it’s not material he decided to put out & release.
There are still fans who are not supportive of this record but I love it!
Some fans feel that his record label is exploiting him and his unfinished music for profit so they’re not supporting it. To each it’s own
And it’s totally understandable.
I agree
i personaly prefer elvis to mj but both artists have their own lanes…he inspired my male faves and bey so im buying this..for my dad anyway,he ll buy anything with mj on it…
Oh yeah!…King ELVIS, the greatest male artist of all times.
B*******
Hmm. Elvis is a legend but just a puppet sorry. No shade, mike was innovative
How dare you, the King a puppet, that’s new to me, Elvis>>>>MJ.
elvis>mj
Again, no shade but Elvis was indeed a puppet. He took what was handed to him and no doubt made it his own, however, a great voice is where it stops for him. Michael was an all-around better artist, multi-talented. Prove me wrong.
first off elvis could sing,besides hip pop mainly elvis eplored many genres.mj is a good performer but there is a reason they call mj the king of pop and elvis the KING…
Elvis didn’t compose s*** other than couple of songs. He is hyped by American media. He is no comparison to MJ. And educate yourself and get out of your bubble. Pop is a generic and broad term. MJ songs belong in the categories of R&B, Rock, hip-hop, soul , etc
Ugh Fatyonce n R**** fans get on my nerves like both your favs lip sync and suck jay z donkey d*** now stfu for i make u.
atleast sucking jays d*** gave them money and a couple of hits..what has cici benefited from sucking futures beside being his addition to his baby mama collection…callin people h*** when future told the whole world cici is easy,have a seat..or stand in the bathroom since thats all ce is playing
Speak English you dumb ass Hive. Nevermind I forgot your own fav is uneducated. I wouldn’t expect anything less.
i didnt expect any more from u comeback either just like i dont expect more of ur faves either after she joins the future baby mama club
I love you Michael! Rest In Peace! 140,000+ records added towards his 170.8 + million CERTIFIED records YAY!!!
What does Beyonce have to do with this post?
The obsession is real lol
The obsession with rihanna is real this a MJ post and y’all bring rihanna up lol how petty
typical nazi respond,just like ur fav…plays the victim
Why you keep responding to me I just drag you
#classisdismissed #getcorrected
i dragged ur ass so far im shocked u found ur way back here after this
Please explain to me how you drag me???? Lmao you clearly haven’t even respond to my other comments you keep bringing the same tire ass stats bye you’re boring come up with something better zZzZzZzZzZ #classisdismissedagain
you can stfu now ad go listern to ur catchy cold i mean music..whatevs
Great numbers for an artist who can’t promote it himself. A little embarrassing for another legend if she fails to sell as much on the 27th.
I hate these predictions. Let the albums sell and wait till the week is over. Make them stop please!
Shat da f** up ho
got thumbed down cause i said i liked elvis more than mj…i didnt say i didnt like mj…unlike the navi who will reach for anything…..NO NAVI ALLOWED TO COMMENT
Most black people think The King was a racist, if only they do their homework, there is a great article on the web writed by a black man about how he was wrong with Elvis, every black person shoul read it.
LOL SO WE’RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE WORD OF ONE UNCLE TOM NEGRO THAT WAS PAID TO C*** RIDE THAT HILLBILLY NO TALENT THIEF?
LOL GIRL BYE.
no talent??? the different types of genres and legacy he left behind say otherwise…elvis is the greatest singer ever and even i at 18 know that
DEATH! at the troll trying to pose like me you haters are #pressed
Good. This mess deserves to flop. RIP Michael.
Why are you worried about Ciara? Worry about Skankyonce and her husband slapping her around their penthouse. Ciara and Future are GOOD! She’ll be dropping HER load any day now. No surrogates around here. 😉
ciara and future are good when he desrespects her on interviews,u must be cray…and as for the surrogacy part ciara cant afford one,between paying for futures child support,tryna make music and all that she will soon be bankrupt…and its good u recognise bey married..she aint trap jay with a baby like ur fav did future
Bankrupt? Don’t make me laugh! Cici is worth $20 million! She actually writes her own music! Your thieving fav wouldn’t know anything about that! Bye p**** and quit stalking Ciara!
IM NOT HERE FOR EITHER.
Damn the obsession with Beyoncé is real. Any ways congrats to MJ even though he is dead. RIP
Not supporting it.
Who HASN’T sold more than Citranny Harris?
A smelly mummified centenarian fossil t***** is flopping in her tomb? cool
Who are you talking about?
Not bad for a posthumous album at all.
Also DEAD at the uneducated f*** in this post who don’t know who the Black Keys are. They outsold most of your fave’s last attempts and won tons of awards (including multiple Grammys).
MJ>Elvis
Who the hell are black keys, la Reid should buy 20,000 himself Michael deserves no 1. Why do random artists come out of nowhere it’s all games these record labels play to outdo Michael.
The delusion. The Black Keys last album did over 200K first week. Just because their music doesn’t appeal to ghetto uneducated hood rats with poor taste in music doesn’t mean they’re unknown.
And we all know this album was only released because Epic is an “epic” flop label right now on the verge of bankruptcy.
I have never heard of Black Keys until now, lol. But I have heard of Black Eyed Peas.
Until 2013, I had not even heard of Whitney Houston and Freddie Mercury ! MJ really is a big global phenomenon. I live in India. And MJ is the most downloaded music artist through torrents and also pirated a lot.
The only reason Epic released this MJ album is because they allowed all their artists to flop over the past year. For those who don’t know, Epic’s roster includes Ciara, Future, Tamar, Sara Bareilles and Avril Lavinge . Sara, Ciara and Avril could’ve all pulled semi-strong numbers, at least in the 750k-1 mil US/2-3 mil WW range and Future and Tamar could be looking at least 600k in the US. They’re losing money because none of their current artists generated any real revenue due to low album sales so they need some source of money
