Published: Tuesday 27th Jan 2015 by Sam

Ciara is back and racing up the iTunes charts with new single ‘I Bet’.

After amassing more than five million streams on VEVO since its debut two weeks ago, the truth-baring gem was released on iTunes yesterday and is well on its way to becoming a digital hit.

Details on the song’s performance and Super Ci’s new acoustic rendition of it below…

As at writing, the Harmony Samuels production (the lead single from the star’s sixth studio album, ‘Jackie’) sits at #38 on the main tally of the US store.

The feat is particularly noteworthy as few Urban singles reach such highs digitally these days. Yet, it’s especially significant as the promotional campaign for the track has yet to swing into action.

On the topic of the latter, the 28-year-old mother of one shared previews of an upcoming acoustic rendition of the track.

Check out Ci belt out the song acapella below…

    SLAY……

    Tbh I know I have been dragging Ciara a lot (because of her stans trying to berate Tinashe) but can we just take a moment to take in this pure slayage of her at the BET Awards 2013 red carpet. Let’s celebrate this beautiful young woman! -> http://goo.gl/kzKrxh

    • IBet On iTunes January 27, 2015

      And we STILL dont fxxk with Tinashe, however we appreciate the compliment. Thank u.

      • Clover January 27, 2015

        Speak for yourself, i fcks with Tinashae. And so does most of CSquad. Don’t make us look like salty janet and aaliyah stans. Embrace the new talent.

        And “I Bet” is #3 on R&B iTunes. I find it funny how a top 5 R&B song can barely get top 50 on Pop iTunes. smh R&B/Hip-Hop need to pick up their digital game…

      • CCFan007 January 27, 2015

        The fact that this person admitted to throwing shade at your fav then goes to compliment her is amazing and you comment with a negative? Please grow up.

        Your response should have just been “we appreciate the compliment. Thank u.”

        Like really…

      • SMH January 27, 2015

        @Clover And why would Janet or Aaliyah fans be salty over 2 nonfactors that will never accomplish half of what they have accomplished?

      • IBet On iTunes January 27, 2015

        I SAID WHAT I SAID! *insert NeNe gif.

      • Clover January 27, 2015

        @smh Both are ALIVE and aren’t committing acts of terrorism unlike li and jan.

      • Brian310 February 2, 2015

        And they still aren’t measuring up to Li or Jan which makes it all the more tragic.

      • Clover February 3, 2015

        @Brian By being alive and upstanding citizens, they already surpassed them by eons.

    • Levi Loves Ciara January 27, 2015

      These petty little stan wars need to end. Tinashe and Ciara are two completely different artists. The similarities end at 2 On, when you listen to Aquarius you can hear the differences. There can be more than just Beyonce, Rihanna, and Ciara on the scene.

      • Danny Bey January 28, 2015

        They are two different people but not nevessarily two different artists. They essentially are the same cutout (urban dance club pop, pretty skinny light skin girl that wears baggy clothes and dances, Aaliyah knock offs, the list goes on) that’s why they ARE comparable. Ciara, though not the best singer, is right now the more talented and seasoned artist. But if you compared 2004 Ciara to 2014’s Tinashe, they would be neck and neck. Actually Tinashe might have the one up cuz she is the better singer. But Ciara is the overall better performer.

      • Thlly January 28, 2015

        Amen!

      • Beyhive January 28, 2015

        What you meant to say was It can be more then just Beyonce Rihanna and Kelly Rowland. Because baby Ciara ain’t no where on top lmao.

    • Lana.Britney.Gaga January 27, 2015

      *spits out tea*
      ROTFL AT THE SHADE

    • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

      I guess, and I agree with you celebrating beautiful young women but yo post is fishy as f*** though. “I bet” not catch yo ass saying s*** bout my girl. #Csquad Baby!

  2. SnowBunny January 27, 2015

    Great background singers!

    • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

      Bunny huh? Smh.

  3. Levi Loves Ciara January 27, 2015

    I’m so excited for I Bet acoustic, I hope it gets an iTunes release. I Bet has already out peaked Body Party on iTunes and there hasn’t been any promo behind it. Radio is just now picking up on I Bet too. Just imagine what it will do with the music video and performances. Ciara is coming strong this era!

  4. Slay_Hive January 27, 2015

    Ciara deserves to win. I really like this song. She isn’t trying hard to be something she is not.

    • How Many Drinks January 27, 2015

      Shaaayde!

    • Cough Cough January 27, 2015

      Yes TROLL_HIVE, I agree! I appreciate her not trying to be something (or a different sèx) that she’s not.! It’s a cute track! Maybe during the summer months you can put on your roller skates and belly shirt/poompoom short combo and roller skate through the city with your pink boom box!!!! BUMPING, givin me Beyonce’ “Blow” mixed with Escuelitas

    • LB January 27, 2015

      The irony of that statement coming from a resident troll. I bet you thought nobody would find out you’re prismatic.

    • RICHIE_RICH January 28, 2015

      Shade , and I live …. I bet is cute. Ciara has no choice but to win

  5. Kandi January 27, 2015

    I’m proud of Ciara she is growing while staying true to herself. So many artist in the biz can’t say this. I like her and J. COLE there not changing to be popular they stay in their lane. Can’t wait for this Jackie album

  6. King January 27, 2015

    Since when is charting at #38 known as “blazing iTunes.” The desperate reach…and to think earlier there was post describing Rihanna new single (which is currently #3 on the U.S. iTunes chart) as “under-performing.”

    • Antonio January 27, 2015

      For a Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney track to have only reached #3 is underperforming and a lessor known Ciara track to reach #38 is actually good, considering Ciara’s singles rarely do well chart wise and she lacks a strong team like Rihanna and Kanye. #38 isn’t great, but it’s no where near bad especially considering how much competition Ciara has from the likes of Rihanna, Kanye, Nicki, Iggy, Ariana, Meghan, Sia and of course Taylor

      • SMH January 27, 2015

        Sit down, little boy. Only a moron would consider #38 ‘blazing’ and #3 ‘underperforming’.

      • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

        I think Ciara turn out would’ve been a little different if she had come out with the single earlier on iTunes. Smh. She’d probably reach top 20 or maybe 10. Her record label ain’t s***.

    • Levi Loves Ciara January 27, 2015

      Success for a veteran R&B artist and success for a veteran international pop star aren’t the same. FourFiveSeconds is a country pop song (highest selling genre in the US) featuring two of the most recognized names in music. I Bet is a solo R&B track. How many R&B songs are in the iTunes top 40? Three?

      • SMH January 27, 2015

        You’re right. One single peaking at #3 and one peaking at #38 aren’t the same when neither one has been promoted. The song at #3 is the successful one.

      • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

        Yes.

  7. DanYiel Teflon January 27, 2015

    I actually like this song & this version is cute I say Congrats Ciara!!

    • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

      Thank you 🙂 in behalf of her.

  8. Black power January 27, 2015

    I bet… The album will still FLOP

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) January 27, 2015

      Eat sh*t b*tch

    • Barb-wire January 28, 2015

      Change your name boo coz you sure as hell ain’t for black power.

  9. Metzo January 27, 2015

    I love her voice. Its soo sweet.

    • Thetruth January 27, 2015

      Lol!

  10. How Many Drinks January 27, 2015

    This song is cute much better than FourFiveForeheads

    • SMH January 27, 2015

      Then why isn’t it performing better than FourFive seconds?

      • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

        Well it did just get on iTunes.

      • Kandi January 29, 2015

        That’s because they took it straight to iTunes and you can’t hear it without purchasing it first. Smart business move but by all means that song is doing good because it has THREE different fam bases. It’s average at best.

    • How Many Drinks January 28, 2015

      @SMH Because shes not Rihfund. Doesn’t mean her songs worse.

  11. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT January 27, 2015

    Bítch please. There’s nothing to write home about. #38? Really? Ooookay. Ciara is done and she’s been done since the decade started. The F-squad will just have to put up with the floppage. All her singles will flop and so is #Jackie, kinda like her last 2 albums which are sitting at 200K. 🙁

    • BeyRihLiyah January 27, 2015

      *last 3 albums*

      • I STAN(D) FOR TALENT January 27, 2015

        Lol 😆

    • Clover January 27, 2015

      Yall been saying Ci is done for like, what, 6 years now? And yet here she is with other urban legend song. Why is this prophecy failing so much?

      • Al January 28, 2015

        Urban legend song?! Really let me show a receipt for that title… Miguel Adorn.
        Ciara ain’t been relevant since 2005 child bye

      • Clover January 28, 2015

        @al phagg, what part did you not get? Urban fckn legend. Ciara “Ride”, Ciara “Body Party”. And Ciara sold at the very least 4.6 million records last go around (2013-2014). But yea haven’t been relevant since 2005. Delusion at it’s best.

    • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

      You mad.

  12. BeyRihLiyah January 27, 2015

    oh she still trying to make a comeback ?

    • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

      She never left.

  13. 1inamillion January 27, 2015

    Her voice is still very uncontrolled eleven years later. People make fun of Aaliyah, Janet and Diana’s voices, but they knew how to sing.

    • Levi Loves Ciara January 27, 2015

      Lol!

    • #JACKIE (Cici da baddest) January 27, 2015

      Aaliyah fans stay pressed smfh goodbye

      • BeyRihLiyah January 27, 2015

        what do they have to be pressed for unlike flop-ara Aaliyah actually had a successful career she was actually about to do big things around the time of her death too bad we cant say the same about ci-babymama she’s hasn’t been relevant since bush was in office

    • Paulo January 27, 2015

      Why compare them? Vocally, Aaliyah slayed them all. Janet at least knew how to use her voice in harmonies and stuff. Diana Ross to me is the first gimmick diva of the industry.

      • king z January 27, 2015

        diana ross is a gimmick diva? listen to diana ross sing “home” live and see if ciara or aaliyah could do the same

      • Brian310 February 2, 2015

        No need to because songs like the one I gave my heat to, journey to the past, I care 4 u, and never coming back show the power in her voice, not to mention her performance of the star spangled banner at 16.

    • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

      Ciara can too, she actually sounds way better compared to when she first came out. She made vocal gains no doubt.

  14. Keri Qween January 27, 2015

    I like the song actually , Rih and Ciara new singles both classy unlike Beyonces ratchet singles

    • hivehighness January 28, 2015

      Must u always talk about Beyonce? Worry about the flopping keri is about to endure, she’d be lucky if her album sees the light of day

  15. Rihboy January 27, 2015

    It’s relatable and safe! She always plays it safe. Nothing superb about this song. It’s now back at 40 actually. It’s already beginning its nose dive out of the top 40. I mean top 20 is decent but anything beyond that isn’t worth talking about. Next!!!

    • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

      Nah, it’s not. It’s steady climbing actually. And yes, relatable like all music. And safe? Not sure your definition of that but it was def a risk. And she excelled. 😉

  16. Slay_Hive January 27, 2015

    Pretty Hurts and Xo weren’t ratchet tho. A fan of Rihanna’s should never speak on class and being ratchet

  17. Paulo January 27, 2015

    girl… I’m genuinely happy for CiCi but I can’t with those faces like she actually belting out difficult notes.

    • BeyRihLiyah January 27, 2015

      • #JACKIE (Cici da baddest) January 27, 2015

      • BeyRihLiyah January 27, 2015

        @#JACKIE (cici the baddest) the yodeler , the goat and the mute biitch all slay ci-nigggga unlike your pathetic low life irrelevant t***** looking fave they all are somebodies in this music industry your fave is a wannabe neverbeen who hasn’t been relevant in over 8 year and speaking of ci-nigggga’s vocals that b****** is octave less she has no ocataves

    • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

      Lol! Well you know CiCi isn’t a Whitney, Mariah or Beyonce so when sings like that, it all comes from her gut. Lol..trust me, this wasn’t a easy single to sing for my girl. So chill out. 🙂

  18. TRUTH SERUM January 27, 2015

    • SMH January 27, 2015

    TGJ commenters, we are a family. And as a family we have to support one another regardless of Stan-base or whatever. Family is family. MY SIS TROLL_HIVE (aka Prismatic, formerly Slay_Hive) just moved up here from the slums of Atlanta and is currently renting a room in the basement of a Brooklyn brownstone. She’s working on her one-“woman”- show and will be performing in the 42nd Street Time Square train station everyday to raise funds for her next ballroom effect. Pleas come out and support my sis TROLL_HIVE(aka Prismatic, formerly Slay_Hive). She’s so talented and needs her family’s help. Just look at her raw slaysge below!

      • Clover January 27, 2015

        I don’t see any other straightforward R&B doing it. Nothing about “I Bet” is flop. It’s on it’s way to become another Top 20 Pop hit and another Top 10/#1 R&B hit. Yall acting like Ci just released some major pop record and doing moderate numbers. Like… get some chill.

      • BeyRihLiyah January 27, 2015

        @clover biitch shut up this is the I -tunes chart holler at me when I flop is a top 20 pop hit on the BILLBOARD 100, BIllBOARD r&b/Hip hop and BILLBOARD mainstream top 40 CHARTS 🙂

        @BRL Or WHAT, f*****? sbssssssssss It’s going to do what “Body Party” did, but better. Worry about getting Li out of that grave to do it.

      • FutureCIARA January 27, 2015

        The Stans of the deceased be the most bitter!

      • Realest January 27, 2015

        @BeyRiLiyan There are different levels to success, you do know that right? Everyone is not going to be a blockbuster success but moderate success of success none-the-less. Besides Beyonce and Rihanna there aren’t to many black girls topping or making as many moves as Ciara. She’ hosts parties and attends A-List parties, she’s stil able to make music with A-List producers, she most def stays in extremely expensive designer clothing and is still putting out music consistently. Yeah she’s not on Bey or Rihanna (sales cause we know Ci slays Ri performance wise) but then again who is? There is room for everybody, stop callin people failures and making fun of them when they have a million times more success than you will ever see.

      • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

        Well after all she does make music of substance and we are her fans, in which means we support whatever she does. Sooooooo what are you talking about?

    • blue January 27, 2015

      are you hating or loving, cant decide…why would you do your fav like that?

      • BeyRihLiyah January 27, 2015

        lmaooo the c-squad call this “slaying” poor them they don’t know what it’s like to have a successful fave

      • FutureCIARA January 27, 2015

        When is Aaliyahs Rolling Tombstone tour?

      • BeyRihLiyah January 27, 2015

        @Futureciara the question is when is Ciara ever gonna be relevant though? is she still performing in bathrooms

      • FutureCIARA January 28, 2015

        Better than performing in graveyards.

      • Brian310 February 2, 2015

        But ciara can’t even perform at a graveyard she is done.

  23. SMH January 27, 2015

    I like Ciara, but come on now. #38 isn’t blazing anything. Rihanna’s song didn’t get any promo either and she’s been sitting in the top 3 since it was released, and at #1 in several countries. THAT’S what you call blazing itunes. And it’s not because of Paul McCartney or Kanye, because neither one of their recent solo singles even reached the top 20.

    • FutureCIARA January 27, 2015

      #Payola….. Girl did you hear about her Clear Channel Deal?…. Your seats are ready. Now stop trying to compare the two. One is selling her name & Pussii, The other is selling RnB! Stay MadT

      • blue January 28, 2015

        did you forget to add that deal was for a day? Its been 3 days now

    • Lake Erie January 27, 2015

      Lol. Those are two different types of songs. So you really can say that. And I heard he song. I believe those 2 have just a “little” to do with it. 😉

    • TheElusiveLamb January 28, 2015

      I didn’t even know that Tinashe in your avi until I went to her page and saw that pic. She is beautiful. I love that hair on her.

    • TheElusiveLamb January 28, 2015

      Do you know about artists like Ayumi Hamasaki?

      • LB January 28, 2015

        Not really, when it comes to K-POP, I was only ever into Se7en but I really got into K-Pop towards the end of last year. I will most definitely look them up. Please keep on recommending them, I’m so into the music nowadays.

        Isn’t he just the hottest ever though
        http://youtu.be/UlyAD_Jjhks

      • LB January 28, 2015

        That name sounds Japanese though

      • LB January 28, 2015

        Awesome, I’ll look her up

    • TheElusiveLamb January 28, 2015

      I love these girls. There is another girl group that I can’t remember the name of, but if I do, I’ll tell you. I just learned of this group named IO Echo. They covered Mariah’s Heartbreaker, and it’s amazing.
      I love international artists. It doesn’t even have to be that far. I’ve lately been on UK artists. Adele, Emeli Sande, Sam Smith, Grimes, and etc though. They really have been on it for the last 2-3 years.

      • LB January 28, 2015

        I’ve been in UK artists since like 3 years ago, Emeli Sande slayed my entire existence. I get scared to play our version of events and any Ed Sheeran album because once I put them on, I have to listen to the whole album, I cannot stop.

        I bought Adele’s CD out of hype but the music got old to me fast, it wasn’t like the amazing stuff I’ve heard from Paloma Faith, Ellie Gouding, Emeli Sande or Ed Sheeran, it’s good but just not there for me, idk.

        You should check out this chick too, she is South African but this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
        http://youtu.be/6NL8kGZzc60

      • TheElusiveLamb January 28, 2015

        Lol ok. I’m going to listen to all of them.

  25. TheElusiveLamb January 28, 2015

    This is so cute. I wish her well.

  26. Lake Erie January 28, 2015

    Blaaaaaze those iTunes CiCi! For this single yo had just come out yesterday? She doing the Damn thing! Get it ma! Love you! #Csquad!!!!!!!!! Squad up team!!!! Let’s support her!

  27. KingWray007 January 28, 2015

    The phuck? Can we just talk about how Rihanna is being praised for her acoustic new single. And now… Ciara is singing acoustic. My green tea is calling.

    • Clover January 28, 2015

      What would be the point? Ci BEEN doing acoustic.

      • Lake Erie January 28, 2015

        The delusion I tell ya?!!!? Lol right Smh. Been doing this s***. That’s how you know these people hating for hobbies.

    • Lake Erie January 28, 2015

      Tf?!? Ciara been singing acoustic. Remember body party on youtube?!? She sang the acoustic while Rihanna and her “friend” were watching. So it’s not surprising that CiCi did with this song too. As for girl Rih ? Which I do like. I just don’t know.

  28. Danii100 January 28, 2015

    Why would a Ciara fan be jealous of Aaliyah !!? I’m from the same city as Aliyah her school DSA was literally down the street from me. Bless her soul but when she was alive no one was running up to that school to see her. You all Act like Aaliyah was some huge pop diva that was selling out arenas. compare Ciara first 3 albums to Aaliyah’s she shits on Aaliyah’s. She’s had won a Grammy , been on 3 international tours , 1 world wide tour, was the first billboard woman of the year , performed at the Grammys , World music awards , mtv music awards , etc. Aaliyah never won a Grammy , never even did an international tour , graced no important magazine covers, an her sales were behind her peers in an age where people actually bought music . Before Aaliyah’s death “we need a resolution ” was flopping just like her album would have had she not had that tragic accident. Aaliyah couldn’t even snatch brandy or Monica’s wig. Rock the boat didn’t even reach top 10 smh

        You are absolutely right I didn’t attend that school. I went on to do better things like I’m currently doing like working on masters now. And the the point stands . Neither of them have sold out arenas!! And I’m a dumb ass yet your using Wikipedia ass a credible source of information !? You obviously did NOT ATTEND college I see. Because that is the only place that lists Ciara sold 7 million albums. Which is a lie . Ciara sold only 7 million records world wide when goodies alone sold 3 million copies in the United States . Goodies , 1,2 step , OH, like you , lose control , Get up, promise , like a boy , love s** Magic all sold over 1 million copies as singles (in the US alone )and that is well over 7 singles and doesn’t even include the gold singles she’s has check the RIA list all those singles are certified platinum or double platinum. And Aaliyah sold more records after her DEATH!! You are obviously young because “one in a million ” took almost a year to go platinum and half the singles on that album didn’t even f****** chart. hot like fire , 4 Page letter etc. None the less Aaliyah never won a Grammy regardless of if Ciara was a featured act or not. Aaliyah did a few appearances at small venues in Japan she has never graced an important stage internationally like Ciara has. And Ciara signed a 3 million contract with a modeling agencie too so your point and had more endorsements than Aaliyah 4 years into her career. The point stands Aaliyah was considered a flop before her death by the current industry standards at her time. Her albums were only only going platinum while other artists were selling 10 million . By industry standards now Ciara is exceeding and right on par with her peers. if your Black and are not Rihanna or Beyoncé you are NOT going platinum . Who’s the last black female r and B artist besides the two to sell a platinum album?? I’ll wait!! When body party dropped only 3 females in 2013 went platinum that year Rihanna , Alicia Keys and Nicki minaj . So Ciara out did a lot of acts with one song. And Aaliyah was alive she would be right along with Mya dancing in strip clubs. All that would of , could have . Was about to do s*** is invalid !! Aaliyah ass did not go gold in one F****** month. That album debuted at number 2 or 3 when it was released barely shipping 130k there is no way it was certified in a month after that flop ass single. Which is why it took so long to get another video. They even had her on that cheap ass economy plane flying with luggage. Ciara would never!!! Face it while Aaliyah may sold more records because of the different state of music career rise she accomplished less. And that was comparing only the first 3 years of their careers. Just accept Aaliyah wasn’t the pop super star yall wanted her to be. She was a humble R and B artist who was struggling like the rest or worse. And that’s just facts

    • BeyRihLiyah January 28, 2015

      and then you want to talk Aaliyah not selling out arenas but I don’t see Ciara selling out anything Ciara isn’t selling theatre’s, stadiums or arenas

      • Lake Erie January 28, 2015

        Ciara hasn’t had an official tour since the “Evolution” era so what the f*** are you talking about?

      • Lake Erie January 28, 2015

        Oops, I mean since fantasy ride era and if I’m not mistaken. She toured with Britney Spears and I know Damn well thoughs arenas were sold out. So again. What the f*** are you saying?

    • BeyRihLiyah January 28, 2015

      yawn blah blah blah blah blah you can drop dead for all I care you’ve been clocked #IMDOWN

      • Danii100 January 28, 2015

        No sir you have been clocked. I stated facts you stated pointless rumors of what COULD HAVE been but never happen. And I won’t even entertain a drop dead joke from an Aaliyah fan good day sir . LMAO

      • Brian310 February 2, 2015

        All of that and you still haven’t posted any receipts of all the things you claim while we can post receipts of her movie roles, album sales, impact on music, countless records she broke, and her career progressing and not regressing…and if you were going to the same school as her that would make you almost 40 on a blog tryna argue with people in their 20s…a bum ass n**** lmao

      • Danii100 February 3, 2015

        You obviously can’t read and there for should should have minded your business. I said her school was DOWN the street from me. Me and her were not in the same school together at the same time. Further more Aaliyah would have been 36 if she was still alive not 40 something. What sales records did Aaliyah break besides being the first female artist to have a number one song based on spins ? Aaliyah had one and a half major movie roles the rest were things she SHOULD have done had she not passed away . Further more google RIAA sales , performance videos and tour dates for Ciara. Just face it Aaliyah was just like Brandy, Monica etc when she was around actually WORSE no Grammies , world tours or iconic performances with almost a 10 year career she only gets boosted up because she died. And I’ll admit I liked her when she was alive but ppl like you REACH Aaliyah sold most of her albums AFTER she died Google how long it took “one in a million and her last album to go platinum and you’ll see my point.

    • Lake Erie January 28, 2015

    • Lake Erie January 28, 2015

      Even though I do like that new Rih song. But I like CiCi’s much better. Hey, lol you notice ciara and Rih always come out with something around the exact same time? Lol. Interesting.

  31. SippingmyTea January 28, 2015

    Okayyyyy !!!

  32. Mark111 January 28, 2015

    Wait, a song at #3 is failing, but a song that’s not even in the top 30’s is blazing? There’s a word for that, this site’s writers lost all cred and let their hate consumed them. Oh well.

    • Lake Erie January 28, 2015

      GEt off the post then hater.

  33. Auntie January 28, 2015

    Great song, hope she releases an accoustic and that is crosses over. The rihanna song missed the mark for me. It was just weird, not inventive.

  34. Ami January 29, 2015

    This is the the third time I listened to this song. It’s a little simple for a woman who been through it.
