Welcome to another edition of ‘The Stream Scene‘, the ‘That Grape Juice’ original feature shining a light on digital feats made by Pop & R&B’s biggest movers and shakers!

Launched in response to the inclusion of streaming points in many a chart across the globe, each edition will see us breakdown the facts and figures behind by each member of ‘The Scene’s release!

So, which four acts made it into ‘The Click Clique’ this time?

Find out after the jump!

Leading the party this time around is Janet Jackson, the Pop icon with over 140 million records sold worldwide!

Perhaps as a direct result from her long-running chart absence, Jackson‘s ‘VEVO’ presence paints a picture far removed from the reality of her impact, with the last five years seeing her ‘Rhythm Nation’ visual score 4.6 million views.

Meanwhile, after crossing the 2.5million streams mark in January 2014, her Peter Smillie directed  for 1990’s ‘Escapade’ finds a friend in the 2,711,421 million mark, while EMI’s upload of her ‘All Nite’ video dances its way to 2,413,027 million streams scored, pushed by its parent album’ Damita Jo‘.

Cruising towards a lane currently occupied by Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran is Elijah Blake!

Now tasked with the challenge of turning his streaming water into iTunes wine, Blake recently saw global streams of debut LP ‘Bijoux 22′ make silent steps towards the 15 million mark.

Today, eight months after its unleashing, the singer’s ‘Towers of Tokyo’ leapt to higher ground to land at 22,505 views on his official ‘YouTube’ channel and a commendable 43,127 plays on ‘SoundCloud.’ 

This, failing to hold a light to the 11.2 million times his ‘Vendetta‘ has been spun since its release, but stands closer to the 3.6 million plays secured by slow jam ‘Vicky’s Secret’, the reported inspiration behind Ciara‘s ‘DUI’, which he penned for the singer’s self-titled studio effort.

Come June 9th, exactly one month would have passed since Nicki Minaj unlocked her latest music video for single ‘Pills N Potions.’

Since then, a steady flow of promo has brought its ‘VEVO’ viewing figure to to 22,523,692, watched for a total of 121 years, shared 46,842 times and driving 17,109 subscriptions to ‘NickiMinajAtVEVO’ in the last four weeks.

On higher ground, despite the lack of effort employed to push the release, Minaj‘s Cassie-backed ‘The Boys’ shimmies and shakes its way to 73.1 million’VEVO’ spins, as the fiery ‘Lookin’ Ass’ body slams the rapper’s competition with 13.6 million streams garnered on the same outlet.

No doubt hoping his new LP will fare just as well as 2004’s ‘Confessions’ is Usher, gliding back to Pop’s centre stage on the wings of new single ‘Good Kisser.’

Co-written by Warren Felder and the ‘Climax’ singer himself, ‘Kisser’ breaks up with the 9 million ‘VEVO’ streams mark and hops into bed with 10 million, locking lips with the figure and seducing 939,332 new viewers within the last three weeks, bringing it to a grand total of 10,939,332!

Meanwhile, ‘YouTube‘ user ‘Jaibrayon‘s sees his uploading of the singer’s tribute to Destiny’s Child at the 2005 ‘World Music Awards’ crosses the 1 million border to party at the 1.6 million mark, while ‘Halleluiahtimes‘ uploading of his smash hit single ‘Yeah’ enjoys 27.4 million spins since it was uploaded on May 5th 2009.

So, let us know…

Have you streamed any of the above?

  6. #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On”) July 7, 2014

    Elijah’s a lame n1gga and he still ain’t makin no noise 😀

    • CiciTaughtMe July 7, 2014

      Look at this bitter b****! Perched here all day because David is paying your fave DUST. Even if Elijah isn’t popping homeboy can sing his ass off. Can you say the same about Tinotshit?

      • SexlijahBlake July 7, 2014

        Oh my gosh, this h** is still here?

    • #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On”) July 7, 2014

      @Cicigavemesyphilis & @ICantChartBlake both of y’all need to quit it lmao Elijah can get his promos on here becuz TGJ has a gaycrush on him that’s why and honestly, the Queen, that is the new rising R&B Queen Tinashe is only proving that she doesn’t need a TGJ to aid her career. Did Elijah even get to attend the BET Awards 2014 Pre Show? No. Has he even got on 106 & Park for an Interview/Performance? No. With all this promo from TGJ has he achieved a Billboard charting single yet? No. Has he got ALL radio even Ryan Seacrest to endorse his music like Queen Tinashe? No. Who has more fans? Tinashe! Now that’s a damn shame! Hit the bricks with yo weak a** fave. Y’all should be lucky I’m associating his name with the Queen right now. Chuh….. 😀

  7. BarbBey July 7, 2014

    Good for all of them and TGJ is right, Elijah does need to make sure he sells 2bh.

    • SandySande July 7, 2014

      She has to be joking if she thought she did a good job.

    • KissesForKelly July 7, 2014

      Omg what that hell was that?

    • #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On”) July 7, 2014

      Thanks for taking your time to do some research on The QUEEN, Tinashe! You are loved! Thanks for supporting and adding on some decent views especially views Elijah’s first single couldn’t reach in under a month on Youtube! 😀

      And if you’re expecting to give you vocals, especially when she’s dancing on an uptempo song like “2 On” then you really are a “Lame n1gga and ain’t makin’ no noise.” Since you’re a devoted fan check out her performance on the BET Awards Pre Show!!!!!

      The Power of Tinashe is STRONG! She got VIEWS! hehehe!

  8. IggyLongstocking July 7, 2014

    Congrats to Elijah but tell me something TGJ, do you still think PNP is going to number one or have you finally accepted that Clownraj’s career is over.

    • BeyBeyKing July 7, 2014

      Those album sales though.

  9. Career Ender July 7, 2014

    is it me or lately Jason Derulo >>>>>>> Fistopher?
    .
    today’s male singers can’t sing or entertain anyway, just bunch of soft p*** videos all the time
    .
    Jojo , Sisqo, Joe, Seal, Anthony Hamilton, Enrique, R.Kelly, Shane Filan, Mark Feehily >>>>>> all todays non singing street dancing booty touching male-queens (lil wayne n other lessor rappers included)

    • Elijah’sBijoux July 7, 2014

      I agree with you sis.

  10. Career Ender July 7, 2014

    elija Box Flop aint happeing , Sam

    • Elijah’sBijoux July 7, 2014

      What’s your problem b****! Can he or can he not sing?

      • Career Ender July 7, 2014

        I haven’t listened to any of hus struggles, ill answer you once I do

      • Lana Del West Coast July 7, 2014

        Ok sis, be fair. You’re dragging him without listening to any one of his songs?

      • #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On”) July 7, 2014

        @Elijah’sBijoux he can sing alright but can he sell? That’s the real question. People ain’t investing into his music that’s why he’s coming out with an EP. Tinashe has “Artist Awareness” locked!

  11. tits mcgee July 7, 2014

    I could care less about streaming. I need some new Janet music, stat! At least, a b-sides album with a couple of new songs! #Janet #MYM

    • RiriRoyale July 7, 2014

      Streaming is the only reason Beyonce got to number 2 boo boo.

      • tits mcgee July 7, 2014

        That’s true. Still don’t care one way or the other. It will help Rih’s new music too, like it has Ciara, Bey and others.

  25. RoyalKev July 7, 2014

    I can’t tell you how much I miss Janet! The longing for her return is so real. It’s like going without seeing one of your favorite family members for years! This is what Janet does though! If your a fan, you will wait! End of. Janet moves when she’s ready! … and you won’t believe your eyes when she does come back, it’s like she’s a myth or something! I don’t pay her vevo numbers any mind. Some folks really had it in for Janet, a lot of her videos have been removed. Then the count restarts once her visuals appear again. Feedback was at 10 million, now it’s 7 – something! Nobody got time for that! It doesn’t matter, Jackson’s don’t go away! Damita will come back with a vengeance this time! I’m sure she’s ready to kill it too! I like the take-no-prisoners/don’t-crack-a-smile Janet! I bet Queen Janet is still hungry!

  26. IStanForYourFav July 7, 2014

    I just want the new Janet album. That is all.
