‘Black Widow’: US Music Lovers Throw Support Behind New Rita Ora Music

rita-ora-that-grape-juice-dkny

After overshadowing a number of her Brit-Pop sisters with her debut album’s sales, Rita Ora now seems to have amassed a US fan base hellbent on taking her music straight to the ‘Hot 100’ heavens before the release of her debut LP in the country.

Why talk of Rita “killing it” in markets near and far is anything but PR mashugana?

Find out below..

With touring earnings and endorsement deals keeping her promotional boat afloat both home and away, this week saw Rita storm into the Billboard Hot 100‘s Top 20 with her single ‘Black Widow’, doing so alongside rap superstar Iggy Azalea who performs its verses.

Undoubtedly the reason behind the song’s unstoppable ascent on the tally, Rita’s contribution to the cut is now to thank for its new peak position of #19, perched there as her UK #1 single ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ makes a modest start at #99 on the same chart.

Elsewhere, August Alsina‘s ‘Testimony’ reaches the 173,600 unit mark after moving 5,109 units in the last week while Iggy Azalea’s ‘The New Classic’ sits at #18 on the ‘Billboard 200’ this week, now placed at the 270,442 sold mark as Beyonce‘s latest studio album sings to the global sales tune of of 3,390,000 units sold!

    That first pic is so s3xy! But why are you guys branding this as her single when she clearly is featured on it? It’s technically Iggy’s single. Did Rita say she was including it in on her album?

    • BeyBeyKing August 10, 2014

      Girl shut up and pray they look after Tinashe in the same way.

    Blurred Lines wishes it could.

    My Queen.

  5. RitaSlayerOra August 10, 2014

    I cant wait for Rita to slay the vmas!!!! she’s finally getting her shine that sshe deserves.

  6. Renee Aiko August 10, 2014

    Just wow. So Black Widow is Rita’s single now? At this point I just want Jhene to do whatever Rita did to get you on her side because this s*** is f****** amazing.

    “Iggy Azalea’s ‘The New Classic’ sits at #18 on the ‘Billboard 200′ this week, now placed at the 270,442 sold mark”

    SCREAMING!!!!! Not the FLOP classic struggling worst than Iggy’s nursery rhymes, I cannot.

    This after a #1 single for what, 5 weeks…I CANNOT!!!!

    • Tisha August 10, 2014

      Lol, Iggy struggling to maintain this little bit of fame and she’s out the box with a popular single. Lawd help the chile.

      Meanwhile Rita got her kneepads on trying to make someone else get her another album.

  8. Tisha August 10, 2014

    They better throw their support behind it, chile just lost her most popular single and most of her new album to Calvin Harris. I hope she plays it straight from this point on and that includes you Sam. Don’t shade Rihanna for one thing and pretend Rita didn’t just get her ass blasted.

  9. LB August 10, 2014

    Hey SAM, you forgot to add the part that says her second album isn’t coming out because Calvin wrote and produced 80% of it and he is not letting this w**** release his music LMAO

  10. BaddieBey August 10, 2014

    So Iggy still hasn’t sold 300k? I can’t.

  11. Rih Rox August 10, 2014

    She will never happen.

    • former rihanna stano August 10, 2014

      SHE has already happened. HER LOVE love gets covered on E news and she has just filmed her 3RD MOVIE. TAKE THAT

  12. X August 10, 2014

    Next.. this is the only blog I see hyping the broad up with her mediocre songs. What about Jhene Aiko and SZA?!! Aiko is releasing her debut album in a few weeks yet you failed to post about.

  13. Beysus August 10, 2014

    Quite like “Black Widow”. Not a big fan of IWNLYD. And I liked about half the songs on her 1st album…

  14. former rihanna stano August 10, 2014

    SHE WILL BE JUST FINE. HER family are her business advisors. HER sister is her manager and her DAD is a business man who advisor her on investments and money. The kosovan community is very tight knit like the JEWS. Sam, SHE WAS IN PHILLY on location for her 3RD MOVIE……….

    HER family are very educated and High status, they not let her end up like Rihanna.

  15. former rihanna stano August 10, 2014

    SAM,

    SHE just filmed another movie role in Pittsburg, PA. THIS WILL BE HER 3RD MOVIE.

  16. RECORD SALES > ALBUMS August 10, 2014

    her album is slated for a september release yet there is no second single released and we all know why . Hence why TGJ is making it seem like “black widow” ‘s success is due in part to Rita , yet she has no hit single to her name in the USA . Its IGGY thats been the benifactor of having a long running #1 , and it has nothing to do with Rita Ora . TGJ thinks all of us are stupid and dont know whats going on behind the scenes. Unless Jay Z somehow convinces Calvin to be less bitter , Rita wont be releasing an album any time soon . perhpas more features are in her future?

    • former rihanna stano August 10, 2014

      It flopped in the USA, but ANF I KNOE THIS WILL F*** WITHN YOUR mind….IT HAS SOLD OVER 1 MILLION WW AND COUNTING. IT IS AT ABOUT 400K IN THE UK ALONE. THE USA IS THE ONLY market she does not have. when she gets to album 3 like RIHANNNA………I cannot wait to see the tears, meltdowns and fumes and That just from Rihan alone.

    • former rihanna stano August 10, 2014

      RITA WILL be releasing an album Her sis and her were just at Princes studio a few days ago. She has already worked with Mark Ronson, Dev hynes and Diplo. HER 1ST era has already sold 2.5 million WW. Radioactive was bigger hit in JAPAN than any of rihanna latest songs.

      RITA co writes…….that is why she is already a young Multi millionaire. LOL LOL You are pressed and hurt by her FAME and her mONEY make ventures. Don’t worry about her, HER FAMILY is educated and they work fir her. Worry about drug addict rihanna.

    • former rihanna stano August 10, 2014

      Remember when I made the mistake on hating on Rita? i used to say she would get dropped. I made a mistake. She wont get dropped and I am sure a lot of bigger labels WANT HER.

      You see she KNOWS HOW TO network and play the game. She knows the poet players and they are friends. It not just s**…..s** is not enough to get a Power player to respect you. ALA MYA.

      Also, she HAS MADE THEM MONEY: 2 .5 MILLION WW

      SOLD OUT TOUR IN UK

      SOULD OUT USA TOUR

      SOUL OUT SHOWS ALL OVER europe and ASIA. You do know, in between making her album and slaying fashion, she flies all over Europe to do festivals. Even if u have not heard of them. SHE has already done at least 10 festivals this summer. That is why she will beat rihanna in the long run…..her life skills are more superior. RITA is still booking stages on ‘ flop ‘ material and people will pay to see her even when she 35.

      Rihanna will be like Britnet at 35, she is already there.

    • former rihanna stano August 10, 2014

      CALVIN SHE can GET ANY producer.

      She already has cut tracks with PRINCE

      DIPLO

      DEV HYNES

      Macklemore

      WILL I AM

      DJ MSUATRD

      MARK RONSON – This will be her killer jam I know Mark will know how to bring out her VOICE

      JAY Z is even on the album

      AS is Gwen and some new rapper

      CALVIN aint nothing to her, that is why he is b*** hurt. The same Calvin that turned Rihanan down, when she tried to holla at HIM LOL LOL

    • former rihanna stano August 10, 2014

      THE RITA ORA album will be number 1 in the UK – IT will sell 300K needed to be platinum over there.

      It will be top 10 in Eastern Eruope as she is HUGE THERE

      TOP 10 0R 20 in West Europe as she is getting stronger. SHE GEST PAID SIX FGURES TO DO private parties in PARIS ; they fly he run on Private jets. She is known in Europe.

      She is actually quite big In JAPAN – THEY like blonde white girls. She has already had top 5 hit and covers a lot of their magazines. Rihanna aint s*** in Japan.

      Rita is HUGE IN australia. This song is already Platinum there and HER LP WILL GO NUMBER 1

      She has model in Brazil and had top 10 album over there so I think she can take brazil.

      SHE is big in the middle east, hence why she covered gapers bazar over Rihanan ist.

      That is the whole work.d She is bIGGER IN THE USA than ROC THINK – SHE SELLS OUT SHOWS HERE. THEY need to drop the LP and we will see. Her big mistake was not releasing the 1st album in the USA.

      • Dev August 10, 2014

        Rita’s parents are educated but clearly you and yours are not! That trilogy was a mess.

  17. jEN August 10, 2014

    BW success is because of Rita yet she cant get her own damn music to chart. LMFAO. This ghetto ass blog stay trying it.

    • former rihanna stano August 10, 2014

      IGGY lives in la, THIS HELPS with her promo. RITA needs to live in LA OR NYC for year and hit the USA group. She flies to Europe every week, she needs more time in the USA, Rihanan was always living here and that helped. But, the song has sold over 1 million WW. So, she is not really flopping…….FLopping is when the label does not make any money.

    • Fancy BISH August 10, 2014

      YAAAAAAAS, thank you! I just laugh at this site sometimes…they CRAY CRAY 😉

  18. former rihanna stano August 10, 2014

    Sam,

    Let the haters seethe. They know it is a rap for Rihanna. Rita ora will be just Fine. She went to UK best drama school so she has TALENT TO BAKC IT UP; NOT facade or image or stunts. She is veery skilled at networking with the top WHITE POWER PLAYERS. THE ” WHORA ” rumors are not true; they come from b*** hurt dudes she dumped or jealous girls who WISH THEY WERE WERE. RIHANNA is the w**** everyone knows that.

    HER FAMILY are very smart and shrewd like JEWS. SHE will be JUST FINE. They need to worry about Rihanna and her addiction to MDNA xanax and PCP.

  19. Mark111 August 10, 2014

    Delusion all throughout this post. But she does sound great on the song. BUT clearly Uggly is taking the song where’s it at. Is the US was feeling Whora, then How We Do and R.I.P (irony) would’ve popped off in 2012. But I guess I wish the Wayne Brothers the best, cause both of their careers depends on this song. Good luck and may the best man win.

    • LB August 10, 2014

      Oops, I caught that Wayne Brothers shade (White girls) LMAO, you’re a mess.

  20. Skyfall August 10, 2014

    I thought Iggy was the new Queen of HipHop. Why is her album still internationally uncertified?

  21. Lily August 12, 2014

    Rita Whora Album will be down the Pacific Ocean not even psycho @formerRihannafan & these delusion sam can pull it up. But that no Rihanna fan damn need his/her meds. He/she just keep replying to themself.

  22. Peuterey Sito Ufficiale December 14, 2014

    It will feature six underground floors and 202 above the ground, and accommodate 30,000 people, transported by 104 high-speed elevators.
