Lol no iggy
Why would she care?
Funny thing is in America we don’t have BEST AMERICAN FEMALE OR MALE OR AMERICAN BEST ANY AWARD . Yet they collect AMERICAN AWARDS HMMMMM… I’m confused NO SHADE I LOVE THE BRITISH ABD THEIR TALENT JS
Her profile is non existant in the UK. Fancy only reached #5 here, and the UK charts are easy to minipulate when they delay release dates 2 months after the international release. She only had that Hot 100 #1 thanks to her Clear Channel and mainly streams not sales at the time. Iggy’s a local hit, just like Taylor Swift.
Someone fill me in. Does Taylor collect coint internationally? (No shade no T)
that table mountain build biatch is an international flop
.
it slays in the US only
Yay!!!!!
LOL the fuq are people red arrowing me for????
cuz they mad their p*ssi don’t pop.
Yes slay Bey!
Too bad she can’t slay a dictionary with her illiterate ass.
Too bad Tamar looks like something crowled out an M*****’s ass
Who needs a dictionary when ur worth half a BILLION. Now Tamara aint even worth a penny so please sit.
Lol Brit don’t even like IGLOO ASSZALEA
I Don’t see Cheryl’s name on that list
no you couldn’t cos the only thing you see is a potential baby daddy you ghetto trash biatch
lol , David I saw what you did with Queen Bey , like sam like crew
I like how you and your village people move now tell me which one is South Africa’s version of Beyonce?
http://youtu.be/yTw96yhmRJs
uhhmmm government fund baby momma , the SA Beyoncé was the late Lebo Mathosa , You Tube her and get your life. she was the real deal
.
get it right mashonda!!!!! 😆
Who? Was she also a thief that steals songwritting credits and an amateur pornstar?
Oh, Lebo. We miss her. She was a cross between Beyonce and Rihanna; like Beyonce she could sang and dance, like Rihanna she was controversial and daring fashionista, and she had a unique tone to her voice, sadly she died just as she was about to slay the international market. Check out her mtv base performance and get your life, and see what Beyonce was trying to emulate on her RTW flop. That’s how spantsula is done, not that mess Bey was praised for…kiki
Koke what the royal reign did i just watch? I don’t wanna see some dirty africans shaking their asses for free. If i wanted to see that id tune in to a Rihanna performance.
I think Ed > Sam
.
Sam you need to start articles comparing them, they are huge rivals now
.
X >>>>> ITLH
Girl i see you doing your thang front row you better let them titties hang

This blog is British and you seem to spend your life on it judging by the top commenters so it cant be that boring.
Ha slay!!
but Nicki Minaj is a Brit nominee!! what of igloo? hmmm!!! but I feel it’ll be much competition if bang bang was nominated but who cares? Jessie is a Grammy nominee!!
Not today Satan, not today. I haven’t even replied to your struggle tweet, calling me and cake lessors and shìt. Lol. Not today Mr. Struggles. And in your defense, that Makeke is annoying. She knows Ntsiki Mazwai so she’s from SA.
your comment looks like some comment an ugly low self esteem SA twitter phaggg could say
B**** shut the f*** up so what if i am from Sa quit worrying about me and worry about how you are going to fix the roof of your rdp house i can’t at dumbfucks like you throwing shade when you are probably fatter and uglier than those rats that roam around alex

Americans >>>>> Brits, except for Rock bands, i give you that 😀
Kurt but Brits got as much if not more talented acts as the US
.
Adele
Ed Sheeran
Sam Smith
Emeli Sande
The Fab Four
Pink Floyd
Ac/dc
Leona Lewis
etc…
@Career Ender
Leona Lewis, really?, she’s just a voice, you called me Kurt, lol.
I don’t know about rock bands. Overall, yes but right now I think the UK is edging America out, especially since their biggest “rock” acts are The Black Keys and maybe The Killers (who both haven’t made a great album in years).
@Rosie
Nah, they have a bunch of non-factor artists, btw, all the Killers albums are great 😀
The Killers’ two albums are great, but it kinda went downhill after that. Their live shows are fantastic though!
And musically, yes, right now, the British bands are doing better. Rock music in the US fell off pretty hard.
Wow, this pretty much destroys the Shammys, as always! The British>
And great to see Lana getting some recognition, although she will lose to Bey or Taylor.
But where is her Oscar nom?
I’m glad you know how to accept defeat.
Is this award show even relevant? *yawns*
Not it’s not just like Mariah after Ariana snatched her wig
You’re just as irrelevant as this show :/
Quit trolling b****. Princess Ari can’t compete with the Queen.
look who’s here
.
meh
Hey Rosie how many Grammy and Oscar nominations did Lana get this year?
http://youtu.be/2V3CfD8TPac
The real kii is that the Oscars will never consider your fave, period.
I realize that certain award shows are only relevant to some of y’all when y’all faves nominated or wins
When you were my age you had edges
Just think it’s so funny how these award shows are only relevant when some people’s faves are nominated. The funniest s*** to me is that Iggy and Tinashe are nowhere to be seen and just proves that their press>>>their acclaim in the industry.
ANOTHER thing that makes me laugh is the fact that Elijah’s ep is about to outsell Reclassified. I can’t and i shan’t.
Elijah is R&B which is popular again so him almost outselling a white rapper from australia means nothing.
Iggy slayed radio with five or six singles this year and was EVERYWHERE yet is selling similar amounts to a guy most people haven’t even heard of. THE STRUGGLE is real.
You know times are hard when Rita gets more Oscar love than Lana. #Haha.
You would know all about HARD times wouldn’t you?
Lana was at least shortlisted, something Rihfund will never achieve at the Oscars. Can’t wait until Home is dragged to hell and back on Rotten Tomatoes in a few months.
Blah blah blah B****! It must sting to see Lorde continue to SLEIGH Lana like her name is Buffy. Anyway, lemme get back to listening to my faves MULTI PLATINUM albums. Does Lana have one of those? No? OK, then excuse me as I laugh.
Ha.
Ha Ha.
Ha.
“SLEIGH” Lana where? Single sales? Death at Payola Heroine barely outselling UV by like 100K max outside of the US. The definition of local with all that promo and payola. Death at Yellow Flicker Beast “breaking records” on Alt radio the day of its release and then flopping harder than West Coast a week later. Are you talking about Oscars? Because Borde wasn’t nominated either ugly f*****. You f*** always bring up Borde to drag Lana and still realizing that even with all the publicity, no one gives a f*** about her other than Royals as of 2015.
You should be worried about your fave giving Leo DiCaprio and every other dude in Hollywood symphillis and like 20 other STDs like the industry s*** she is.
Draggggg haaaaa Rosie!!!!
Still not over Drift getting ready to outslay Retrashified.
Elijah Blake slaying Iggy is her karma for copying TSE if you ask me.
Iggy peaked at #1 with Fancy darling, is Spark the Fire even in the top fourty?
Oh miss b****, don’t you worry your s***** little head about Gwen’s sales because her numbers have BEEN snatching and slaying. Can the same be said for Igloo? Is TNC Gold? Is Reclassified s*** stain? Is she still taking pictures with plastic surgeons. #PatientConfidenitalityOrNah
@Oh Hi Gwen
LMFAOO!! Drag that uggly stan Lmao
Elijah isn’t as unknown as some of yall make out so his sales don’t shock me. Every fella I know bumps his s*** so why are yall acting like him selling the same amount as Iggy’s ep is a big deal. It would be diff if he was selling the same amount as New Classic but he’s not so chill.
What kind of flawed logic? Iggy is a household name but is a few thousand copies from being outperformed by someone who only gets consistent promo on this blog. Like really girl, wake UP and see that your Iggy’s career is all smoke and mirrors.
Taylor swift has to win INTERNATIONAL FEMALE SOLO ARTIST
Let’s not change the subject b******, Tinashe so deserved a nom.
Mad that Tinashe sold 17k first week and Elijah is less than 4k away from that? I think you is.
Mad that Ciara’s new nickname is Baby Mama Number 4?
Mimi is nowhere to be found…just like on the charts.
I hope the Lambs know Mimi only got the Vegas job cos Jlo turned it down. Say thank you b******.
Don’t make them cry girl. Kii Kii.
Rita got an oscar and Brit on the same day. She has talent.
Talent? Or a powerful p****?
That’s the million dollar question.
Wouldn’t be the first time she got it twice on the same day. Ifyaknowwaddayemean
But can she get a solo US top ten?
You’re delusional if you think that Oscar isn’t John Legend’s.
They probably went by album and digital sales for the international categories. That would explain why Iggy, Ariana or Nicki aren’t nominated. Their albums didn’t sell that well in the UK despite having high-charting singles.
Po’ Jessie, Bang Bang should’ve been nominated. At least she’s not Kylie Minogue, that bxtch is always on the sponsoring adverts for the Brit Awards, she released an album last year and was on The Voice but they paid her dust. She must feel like a mug even though everyone knows she’s a bonafide flop now.
But where is Cheryl Cole? I thought she was the UKs biggest female act after Adele according to it.
‘
I see Lily Allen nabbed a nomination, Paloma Faith, Ella Henderson, s*** even Rita Ora nabbed a nomination and yet Tweedy is MIA, even after 10 weeks of X Factor, 2 #1s and endless promo LMAO.
‘
NP: Sevyn Streeter – Don’t kill the fun
lmaooooo that Cheryl stan swear up and down that Cheryl is the biggest uk pop star and she cant even go silver
SCREAMS!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! You two shady heffas! lol
Screaming at the obsession! Why would cheryl be nominated when she wasn’t a top seller? She’s BEEN nominated MANY times before sweetie. Her profile slays. The endorsement money doesn’t lie f**. KEEP the obsession tho kiiiii
Now you know damn well the brit awards aren’t about sales. what they are about however is real artists…
Congrats to Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Ray, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and everyone else that got nominated.
Ed Sheeran, Ella Henderson, FKA Twigs, One Direction, Taylor Swift/Beyonce, John Legend are the artist I’m rooting for.
And Lana Del Rey
As long as CHVRCHES or FKA twigs win it’s good. Great because neither of them would never get this type of recognition from the other American show.
Question, why only Brits get nom for UK main awards, yet artist outside the Uk is put into the international cat? The grammys does not, the Oscars don’t. So should the US only nom Us artist?
It’s the BRITISH music awards dumb b****. Similar to the ARIAS. The grammys and oscars are INTERNATIONAL.
Jessie j is such a flop
Isn’t it a snub when you actually do something worthy that gets overlooked? Apart from being smart enough to work with two divas with hot hits at the same time this girl did nothing. She has the noms she deserves for this era tbh.
Fka Twigs, I see u boo.
Don’t get it??? JessieJ has done more to Raise awareness to British Music than 3/4 of the Artists Nominated-HAD ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SONGS OF THE YEAR-yet she s NOT even nominated??? MAKES NO SENSE?? Someone’s’ holding a grudge -or something ?? Especially the Rita Nom-Yeah she did sing the song but ONLY because she was dating Calvin Who wrote it-Not Even a Good song????? If I were JJ I’d be MORE THAN PISSED!!!
Queen Charli betta snatch that awardT
They subbed Jessie cause she is dating a Black Man!!!
