That Iggy singles reign just won’t let up!

As her infectious cut ‘Black Widow’ weaves a Pop web on US Rhythmic radio, Pop princess Iggy Azalea has soared to to the top of the UK singles chart on the wings on Ariana Grande‘s ‘Problem.’

Good news below…

Serving as the first official single from Grande’s sophomore LP ‘My Everything‘, ‘Problem’ now sits atop the ‘Official Singles Chart‘ this week, marking the first #1 to be scored by either entertainer!

Doing so as her US #1 single ‘Fancy’ sails towards sales of 2.5 million units in the market, Iggy’s rise to the top of the UK charts comes courtesy of sales and streams garnered by ‘Problem’, with the ‘OFC’ explaining:

With 100 streams being equivalent to one single purchase, in the last week Problem has emerged as Britain’s biggest track of the week, powering its way to the summit with a combined ‘chart sales’ figure of 113,000. According toOfficial Charts Company data, this comprises 106,000 sales and a streaming contribution of 6% to this week’s historic chart topper based on 712,000 audio streams

Upon learning of his client’s success in the market, Grande’s manager Scooter Braun shared:

Landing her first Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart is an incredible achievement and another benchmark in the continued global success of Problem. Thanks to the loyal UK fans whose incredible support has made this possible. This is your Number 1, too.

  11. Beygency July 6, 2014

    I love this girl but she has got to go to the Beyoncé school of performing arts or something because these live performances are cringe worthy. I will pay her to sit down at this point. Thank goodness for that voice

  13. BeyHive Soldier July 6, 2014

    Record company’s stupid puppets. 🙁

  14. Alicia July 6, 2014

    Iggy success isn’t because of white privelage like how some of you say…remember the white famale rapper Kraeshawn from 2011 that blew up with her hit song ” gucci gucci”…well she sold 3,900 first week making it one of the worst album sales ever and Chanell West Coast is also an white female rapper out now but her music is floppin hard…so you can’t say Iggy is famous because of white privelage that’s just stupid

    • Beygency July 6, 2014

      I agree. Chanel West Coast is trash though, I couldn’t even get through a whole song. Iggy is talented.

      • RoyalLorde July 6, 2014

        Erm yes we can. Kreayshawn didn’t have the money that’s being pumped into Iggy.

  15. Truth tea July 6, 2014

    Iggy is the first female rapper to go #1 in the UK since… Lil Kim?
    correct me if i’m wrong.
    Well done.

    • truth (The PinkShit will.surely FLOP!! Just like PissAndFLOPtion honey) July 6, 2014

      I c no lies

  16. RoyalLorde July 6, 2014

    Iggy’s rise is astounding to watch. The money that’s being spent to make sure her singles are being rotated on radio is more than most of you could imagine so I’m not surprised that she’s doing well with singles.
    She is only being given this much money because she is white and beautiful, which is why her label are paying Pop and hip hop stations to play her songs but would never pay Pop stations to play music from one of their black singers.
    By the way, I’m white but I’ve studied sociology enough to see past the b*******.

    • OVOBarbie July 6, 2014

      The whole truth and NOTHING but the truth.

    • KellyBased July 6, 2014

      Realest comment ever.

    • Rosie July 6, 2014

      What about Lana b****?

    • truth (The PinkShit will.surely FLOP!! Just like PissAndFLOPtion honey) July 6, 2014

      Reciepts of her using payola please….ill wait…

    • Honeymoon Avenue July 6, 2014

      This is Ariana’s single though, she doesn’t use payola. And I doubt Iggy is using it either since her songs have been charting off streaming points. Problem has been ahead of Fancy on US radio for the last two weeks. People will say anything to discredit her success. Why is it so hard to admit she made a great song that people like with a killer hook? The singles before Fancy didn’t do good, why would they randomly decide to pump millions in her now? Plus you have no proof of any of this.

      • Grump July 6, 2014

        Ariana doesn’t use Payola? What? They brought back TRL for her for one day? Do you know how much money the label is putting behind her? Lol trust me radio stations are getting payed to play her.

    • Rosie July 7, 2014

      At a Lorde stan accusing anyone of using payola though.

  17. Honeymoon Avenue July 6, 2014

    Congrats to Ariana on her first UK #1!! Problem has given Ariana her first taste of real international success!

  18. truth (The PinkShit will.surely FLOP!! Just like PissAndFLOPtion honey) July 6, 2014

    Congrads

  19. truth (The PinkShit will.surely FLOP!! Just like PissAndFLOPtion honey) July 6, 2014

    Congrads..

    • DAN July 6, 2014

      Ctfu so y are u not attacking Iggy for being a trash lyricist? U just like any female rapper thats not nicki. You are really pressed! If this was nivki n ariana u wouldve been like “nicki a flop b****. Ariana is why its number 1” ctfu get help b**** n change your name! You stan for nicki so why u calling her a flop?

      • truth (The PinkShit will.surely FLOP!! Just like PissAndFLOPtion honey) July 6, 2014

        Eat my pusssy

  20. IStanForYourFav July 6, 2014

    Why do people really believe that these two will replace Mariah & Nicki? Nicki and Iggy are around the same generation, so if anything they are competing each other (don’t reply with N has platinum albums and etc… You know what I mean) & both are relevant female rappers which is what the game really really needed. TBH I like Fancy & Pills ‘N’ Potions equally. SoI’m really looking forward to the next singles and videos and etc.
    As for Ariana, she is not Mariah’s replacement no matter how much she copies her. Mariah is cemented as a legend. Truth be told, the only real reason Mariah is the blueprint for Ariana is because Mariah’s makeup artist’s boyfriend is apart of Ariana’s team and the creative directors heard the Emotions cover. (Don’t ask how I know this or I’ll get in trouble) The industry has been poking and ridiculing Mariah forever… JLO, Xtina, JoJo (at one time), Leona Lewis, and don’t forget ironically Tamar and Ariana both dropped their album the same week… Both of their idols is Mariah Carey. Has You know what written all over it. Anyway no one can replace any artist. You don’t B fans saying Tina was replaced by Beyoncé or Whitney was replaced by Brandy. You guys need to stop the BS. Sorry for the ramble. I know what I know.

  21. Rosie July 7, 2014

    This is really great for them! Hopefully Iggy becomes more popular throughout Europe.
    And why are the same pressed haters trying to discredit her success and bring up her race in every Iggy post? None of you were doing this when Iggy already had two (or three?) top 20 singles in the UK with barely any promo.
