Thought Iggy Azalea‘s time atop the ‘Billboard Hot 100′ would be a short lived affair? Well…think again.
For, as her debut ‘The New Classic’ swims in a sea of commercial struggle and strife, the single spends its third week atop the chart, outperforming each and every single number available for purchase in the USA!
Good news for she and ‘Confessions‘ vocalist Beyonce, below!
Billboard Biz explains:
Azalea continues her record-tying run at the chart’s top two spots, as, for a third week, “Fancy” and “Problem” rank at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. Previously, only the Beatles held the Hot 100’s top two rungs simultaneously with their first two Hot 100 entries: On the Feb. 22, 1964, chart, the Fab Four’s “I Want to Hold Your Hand” stayed at No. 1 while “She Loves You” pushed 3-2. Azalea has a ways to go before matching how long the Beatles controlled the top two; they logged 10 straight weeks occupying (at least) both Nos. 1 and 2 at the same time, through April 25, 1964, as “Hand” and “She” placed at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, for four weeks; they then reversed ranks for two weeks; for the next four frames, “Can’t Buy Me Love” ruled, while “Twist and Shout” was No. 2.
On radio, Beyonce rises to the top of ‘Rhythmic‘ stations with her latest single ‘Pretty Hurts‘, now the most added jam on the format after scoring over eight new commitments on the format.
Set to help the number impact the ‘Billboard Hot 100′, its rising presence radio comes after it peaked at #12 on the ‘Official Charts R&B Singles’ tally, and as its official music video surpassed the 27 million streams mark on ‘VEVO‘ alone.
Want more on Beyonce‘s latest win?
Iggys album isnt even doing that bad considering we didnt even expect it to be released, plus shes a white female rapper from Australia. lets be realistic, her second will prob do better, Fancy only started to become big fast recently
Thank you,!!I had to check the billboard and her album as of last week is in the top ten billboard 200 so I don’t know why Sam is trying to play her.
And I forgot to add her single “work” is climbing the charts as well, and it might surpass nicki minaji efforts.

Congrats to these hard working women! So proud of Iggy, it’s hard being a female rapper and to Beyoncé… Well it’s quite impressive when you don’t promote and you’re still the #1 chick so kuddos to them! And I like Pretty Hurts anyway so BRAVOOOO ladies!
Pretty hurts is such a flop Lmao.
And yas at the slay of ms. Iggy .
Are you referring to your overused vulva or inflatable assets. This is a music blog, not a p*** site.
Umm, excuse you h** but I don’t believe anybody gave you permission to speak about The Queen Bey or any of the relevant music post at hand. Koncubine Kardashian is beneath her. Now have several seats on Ray J’s d*** and stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re use to.
I love it
Honestly, I don’t know why people are calling Pretty Hurts a flop, it was just sent to radio yesterday. But, some stans don’t think rational so carry on.
The excuses. What you gonna say in three weeks when it still flops? No promo BS?
Mark get a dictionary and learn the difference between a fact and an excuse. It was just sent to radio. We are not in the month of July yet sweetie so sit down miss Cleo and give credit where it’s due.
That @ Mark character is so damn pressed over THE QUEEN LMAO.
Pills and Potions> Pretty FLOPS
You made that shiz up! That visual puke of a video! Girl I get more life from watching Rhi roll one to that boring video.
Girl u need to be jailed for that shiznit
WOW! Iggy is the new Queen of Hip Hop just like that. *Winning* watch all the NiKki stans try to berate me lol. Ewwy I mean Iggy is running thangs now!
Azealia Banks “Wallace” music video comes out July 1st!!!!
Iggy is forever winning!
Sorry, but you need more than one hit and you need to sell some albums before you can be called the Queen of anything.
How is one song make you hotter than Niki? Please, just watch this song with Niki and the Game then let’s see what you have to say then.
If iggy is running hip hop I guess carly rae jepson is the queen of pop.
Pretty Hurts will FLOP just like XO!!
Do you really think Bey gives a cats ass about what you think. Bey is about to go on tour again for the second time this year and I don’t think you understand when Bey dropped her album all her songs on the album were the first single. Selling over 900 thousands in 4 days. Flop that!!!
Damn!!! I keep believe I’m about to say this but I thought Majority of Whoreianna stans were Delusional Ass Fawk! But u do have a little sense knowing PH isn’t a Flop when it was just released yesterday kiiii
The New Classic is doing relatively fine. She’s just starting to gain traction and popularity in the states, people didn’t know who she was until Fancy hit the scene. “Work” is starting to gain traction on the charts, “Lady Patra” is the next single. Slow and steady will win the race for Iggy’s debut in the states. By the time her second album comes out, her name alone will be more buzz worthy as she continues to gain notoriety.
That album is just like any album that flopped, but it has a hit on it. Williams had a #1 hit, but his album is just under the 400K mark to date, same with John Legend with a lil over 500K. All these albums are flopping, music just isn’t selling, but singles are. I see No Classic going Gold IF she has more hits on her.
Stop trying to sugarcoat Iggy azalea’s failure to sell albums.
I bet you Iggy Azalea breaks Nikki’s reign for the “Best Female Hip Hop” at the BET BET Awards. And if not, then their just trying to protect Nikki.
Pills and No Potion is failing because the girl thinks she can sing by repeating the same lines in a song so annoyingly……smh
Has Nicki done anything the past year other than features? Uggly get two hits and all the sudden she’s the best? BTW Nicki been winning by default for the past years anyway. I remember Missy won those like hot cakes and Best Female Hip Hop artist at the grammys, that’s why they got rid of it.
PnP is not flopping b**** just shut da f*** up
Flopping harding than than a fish out of water…
LOL FLOPPY AZALEA’S ALBUM IS FLOPPING HARDER THAN MARIAH’S LOL
LOL!!!!!!
She won’t. Nicki may have won those awards by default, but she was a platinum-selling rapper when she won them. Iggy’s album wont even be Gold by the time the BET awards come around.
Pretty Flops, Pretty Flops… yesssssss.
PH was released yesterday. #FIND A LIFE
Anyways in another important news PnP sells 200K in three weeks butches.
FLOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!
There has been a petition started on Change.org urging Beyonce and camel to combblue ivys hair, please sign it today and make the world a better place!!

Join the movement
Deeeeeeead
Sit down Uncle Ruckus
Wow you people are really sad…this definitely says a lot about your lives. What, are you fat and ugly, lonely, no companion, no friends, or is it that no one loves you..or is it all of the above.
WHO IN THIS WORLD IS SO WORRIED ABOUT BEY COMBING HER BABIES HAIR, DO YOU THINK SHE CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU AND ANY OTHER BROKE ASS THINK ABOUT HER AND HER BABY. FIND SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT TO DO WITH YOUR TIME. WHILE YOU WAS TYPING THAT BEY WAS MAKING MONEY.
the bratz made a really good point the other day starship sold over 7 million copies and superbass sold 5.5 million copies i rather have the a best selling single peak at number 2 selling 7 millions copies than to have a single going number 1 and only selling 200k
i was reading that MJs single thriller only peaked at number 4 but sold over 15 million copies world wide and its a classic. i admit i was wrong for making fun of nicki for not having a number 1 single BUT if fancy sells over 5 million im gonna drag nicki again if nicki still doesnt have a number 1
IT WON’T LOL.
LOL DEATH @ THESE FLOPPY AZALEA STANS TRYING TO GIVE HER PROPS FOR ONLY ONE HIT LOL
ULTIMATE DEATH @ PILLS N POTIONS ALREADY OUTSELLING THE NEW FLOPPIC LOL
IGGY CAN HAVE HER LITTLE HIT. FANCY IS THE NEW LIVING LA VIDA LOCA LMAO
Where’s Chartflop?
LOL SELLING MORE THAN THE NEW FLOPPIC, THAT’S WHERE.
HOW MANY YEARS WILL IT TAKE ULTRAFLOPENCE TO GO PLATINUM? LOL
How long is it going to take for Chartflop? The self drag when it didn’t even make it to 30 weeks on the charts.
You’re comparing a single to an album? Oh. Pills N Potions is struggling to break top 40. How embarrassing for an established act on her third album!
Who dat? Who dat? I-G-G-Y! Slay new queen of rap.
Boom Clap by Charli XCX also top 5 on iTunes! Poor all other Tunblr indietronica artists.

Ultimate death @ Barbz clinging to worldwide single sales!! The struggle indeed! 7 million 1.29 singles sold worldwide yet still no #1 🙁 poor dat! Too bad those sales couldn’t push PF:RR past 1.5 million worldwide or help Nicki sell out theatres/clubs. Keep clinging to those old receipts while the rest of us live in the present where the flop can’t even break top 40.
Its absolutely tragic seeing the Barbz cling to worldwide single sales. No other Stan base has that weak of receipts. When your fav can’t chart, can’t sell tickets, or albums that’s all you really have. It won’t change the fact that Pills N Potions is flopping right now or that her next album will be lucky to peak at gold.
Omg I love pretty hurts bey show case her beautiful voice long live queen bey
does Beyonce even remember she released an album? how about actually promoting ur sh*t? Two promo performances…in 6 months! Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and everyone else has done more promo in one day than beyonce has done in 6 months. Get ur sh*t together B! Fack
Because the album sucks.
Like how u suck dickks??
No, sucks is just a synonym for Music Of The Sun, A Girl Like Me, Talk That Talk, Rated R, Unapologetic….and the rest. ofRihSplice’s 6565421389 albums that couldn’t even manage to sell 300k in the 1st week.
