At the rate Rihanna, Kanye, and Paul McCartney are moving, it looks more like they’re ‘FourFiveSeconds’ to hitting #1 on the Hot 100 with their modern day pop-folk single. Giving McCartney his first top 5 on the chart in 31 years, the song is slowly, but surely creeping to the top spot.
But, as the week has evidenced, such creep will be no easy feat.
As the tally’s refreshing shows, ‘Locked Out of Heaven’ hitmaker Bruno Mars appears to be locked in the #1 spot and has clocked yet another week on the chart’s perch with ‘Uptown Funk.’ In fact, reigning in lucky week number 7, the run gives him his longest reign at the top – besting his former longest reign ‘Heaven’ by 1 week.
Elsewhere, on album charts, it comes as no surprise that Drake‘s surprise album ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’ is #1 with over 535,000 united moved its inaugural week (495,000 of those are pure album sales). To put this into context, Beyonce’s self-titled surprise moved 617,000 units in a little over 3 days, but could at least later boast physical copy sales in its tally.
Drake’s sales are expected to be relatively sustained over the next week but, unlike Bey, will not have any physical retailer as its considered a “mixtape.” Furthermore, Drizzy’s reign atop the Billboard 200 enters him in history books as only the second hip hop act to see his first 4 albums debut at #1 (DMX is the first).
Enough chatter, tuck in below to see this week’s refreshed Hot 100 and Billboard 200 lists below:

Yes Rih slay us with this stale ass payola hit.
Where’s I EBT?
Bet is a cute song but not single worthy also Ciara isn’t desperate for a hit like Payolahanna is.
Ciara isn’t desperate for a hit? Oh because she sell albums, right? No, tour? lol, you freaking clown! lol
Looool gurl, these Cedric fans have lost it!
It’s going to be hard to top those 3 songs. But she WILL do it.
Drake,Ed, and Sam better slay that w**** Taylor.
I’m sure her album sold more than all of theirs combined.
Taylor sold another 97,000 real sales this week.. Watch next week, taylor will climb back into the top 3 I’m sure.. Album is 16 weeks old now!
“McCartney his first top 5 single in 31 years”
.
Look at Rihanna reviving careers.
But can she revive her p**** walls?
Can she revive Ciara’s career?
Can she revive the deceased?
yall always throwing shade at Rihanna’s p**** lmaooo !!!
Can ci surpass the deceased?
Yassssss Rih !! You better Work Sis !
I see her going to NO.1 on Billboard 100 but I can’t say the same about her album when it’s released.
But The PinkPrint went to number 2 http://www.billboard.com/album/6415299/the-pinkprint
Never went to number 1 !
Shouldn’t you be worried how the Sink Print, the most promoted, hype, most features on an album only scanning gold after 3 months? All those songs Icky is on and not ONe went #1 and her last album didn’t as well. #DropsMic
You better hope Rihanna sells over 350k or she’s get dragged by everyone
@Queen barb oh please whether she sells 350k or not they still gonna drag her !
They ain’t never got nothing good to say about BADGALRIRI !
Yes!!!!!!!!!! Let them jealous h*** seethe!!!!! That Rihanns reign just wont let up. Bey got three problems now: those old lady unphotoshopped pic, her weave being scalped once again by queen rih, and one more soon-to-be #1 Rihanns song to prove who the real queen is. She better get some better glue or sew that lacefront tighter cause when this album drop, somebody career ending……and its not ciara’s cause i bet fell off the charts too quick, so she been done.
Stfu you sound like a damn fool.
H**, you stfu! You better check that records mouth before I fill it with something you like to suck on. “Who Me” just gave his/her opinion, why you so mad. You need to stop suucking dickks and get a life. Such a tacky ass h**. Jealous much?
#I’dThrowAHoeABoneButYouNeedADdick
When the Pest thought that 50 Shades of Neigh was going to be #1 and Surprise! Drake fans rushing out to buy a mixtape. lol
You should just be thankful R****** didn’t decide to release the same week as Drake. He would have scalped her EASILY! kii
.
Has she ever debuted with anything over 200k? Even with those #1 hits ya’ll glorify? hehe
Rihanna’s last album debuted at #1 with 235K first week sales, and went on to sell more copies worldwide than beyonce’s latest album. And don’t even try to run that lie about her selling 5 million worldwide because @chartnews already clocked that lie.
@SMH lool it barely sold anything more than Beyonce WW considering all the international promo it had compared to Bey. All that matters is Beyonce sold MORE and you will deal.
But you said FFS was going to be #1. And you better hope ‘Home’ does better.
She needs to revisit her LOUD era.
An artist should never “revist” a sound they already did. Ciara revisted, look at her. Usher did as well, it never works. You keep moving. You may love LOUD because of the place you were in life was memorable.
lmaoo damn.. there is nothing wrong with revisiting an era lol
No he is right, when artist do that it always backfires Gaga tried it on art pop and it didn’t work.
Im guessing she’s buying her own song? Cause that s*** sucks.
How is the pink print tour doing? Any sold out venues yet?
I saw you clocking Tyler in a recent post. Lmfaoooo
Is I Bet (I’ll forget to take my estrogen pills) even bubbling under?
Anyway, SLAY FENTY!
But when was the last time Cowriah was on the charts?
The last time Nicki had a number one and a Grammy award.
Girl bye, Riri will get scalped for under perfoming if she gets less than 350k and imagine if she doesn’t sit at NO.1 on BB200? I’ll cry.
@barb-wire
B**** you just got clocked and decided to disregard that and come for Rihanna instead. Weak scary ass h**.
Good look for Drake, great mixtape. I am actually starting to get annoyed by the song and it’s because of my friends overplaying it and Kanye West being apart of the song…. he erks me these days.
Orlando, shut the hell up!
–
MarkyMark, this big fore-headed ho SHALL NOT break MC’s record. It won’t go number 1! lol. I will NOT allow it!
Not these flop ass mooriah fatty stans coming for the wueen when their fave is an irrelevant lip syncing flop
Lol. NP: Nicki Minaj Starship on American Idol…
It only rose two spots though? Bey’s “ratchet” single jumped over 10 spots after the grammys! Get to promoting overtime gurl if you want that #1 spot!
“Bey’s “ratchet” single jumped over 10 spots after the grammys!”
And fell significantly thereafter. The charts stopped and carried on without that ho anthem.
It dropped to #4 the following week and stayed in the top ten for damn near two months off of one performance. You should be more concerned with buying extra copies of Me. I am an Elusive HAS BEEN after Nick Cannon dropped kicked the vocally declined dairy cow to the left. I’m sure her self-steem could use the support!! #ToTheLeftToTheLeft 😀
.
Did that flop even make it into the BB200? kii BYYYEEE!
Lol. That’s ok my dear, bc Mimi checks never fails even when her vocals do. I wish I could say the same for you. Then maybe that slow left eye of yours wouldn’t exist.
Honey I’m not concerned with how much money she has! She should try spending some of it on vocal repairs. Maybe she’d have a chance at selling again. 😉
.
Slow left eye? B**** put up a pic of your down syndrome drooping fat face
B**** stop.
A) I put myself up and you got quiet. You never replied bc I can show myself without shame.
B) Clearly, you’re concerned about everything Mariah does, bc you can’t keep her name off the tip of those d*** sucking lips.
C) Sales DO NOT equal talent. Isn’t that what you keep telling the Navy?
D) Mariah’s voice isn’t broken, so no vocal repairs are needed. She simply needs to rearrange the songs like she did for the Beacon Theater concert. Why are you so bothered about someone is “so irrelevant?”
LMAOOO STAWP
A.) You’re lying. I never saw you put yourself up or maybe I didn’t check back because you’re irrelevant!;)
B.) I don’t give a f*** about your has been fave, but when one of your fellow LAMES come into my reply box throwing shade. Expect the same. No scary h** zone here! 😉
C.) No sales do not equal talent, but a LAME should not ever come for Beyonce in the year 2015! Whether it be chart positions or sales
D.) Mariah’s vocal cords dissolved years ago. You’re delusional if you don’t believe her voice is gone. TOO MANY receipts out there. BTW She is irrelevant. I never bring her up unless a LAME tries it! CHOW!
A) B**** no one lying. You always checking to see if you got a reply, so quit the b*******.
B) If you didn’t give a f***, you wouldn’t reply to the irrelevant. Quit the b******* dear. No one’s asking you to be scared my dear. This isn’t the slums where you reside, it’s a public forum/blog.
C) You’re right a Lame shouldn’t ever come for Beyoncé, but a Lamb can. Beyoncé’s chart position is nothing to brag on and her album sales are mediocre. She is only on her FIFTH album. You’re bragging on 3 million ww when Mimi did the same on her twelfth album. Her residency is already 85% sold out and every tour has been as well in this current era, so clearly she’s fine. 13/14 certified albums my dear.
D) Mariah’s vocal cords didn’t dissolve years ago, but I’m very sure the nerve in that slow left eye did. So please drag along with that eye and QUIT trying to come for Mariah bc ONE idiotic “stan” comes for B. Good bye.
DEEEAAAATTTH @ you telling me to quit “bitchin” but that’s exactly what you’re doing in my reply box. Girl you’re so backwards and stupid. Actually that’s what you do whenever anyone says something about your aging diva. Dr. Jekyll/Mr.Hyde teas!
.
Don’t tell me who the f*** to come for. If anyone comes in my reply box throwing shade, I will throw it back. That’s how i roll and I have no f**** to give either!
.
Mariah is not above being read. I can care less how many diamond plaques and hit singles she had from the 1800’s. I can care less about her residency or any of the other irrelevant things going on in her faded career. HER VOICE IS GONE! NOTHING BUT FACTS!
.
I wouldn’t expect a delusional ugly fat charcoal black b**** pretending to be better that she is better than anyone, suffering from the effects that down syndrome take upon the brain functioning and self-esteem to distinguish between reality and a fairy tale. But if you think she can SANG, than great for you. I don’t buy her s*** anyways.
.
That’s why I can respect Stephy. He’s not a delusional b**** stuck in the past! I’m sure the LAMES will be more than happy whenever a time machine is invented!
.
We living in the NOW over her. F*** off b****!!
Wrong I told you to quit the b*******, not quit “bitching”. Are we really going to talk about aging divas when the real unPhotoshopped pics of B show she has more wrinkle lines than memorable hits and lawsuits combined?
You care less about Mariah’s diamond plaques bc your fav has NONE. How can you call receipts 1800 and then turn around clinging to Dangerously in Love receipts which came out before The Emancipation of Mimi to “drag” Rihanna? If her voice is gone to you, then good for you Coco, but to me she’s fine; she’s been inconsistent.
Right bc the third female selling Of all time needs a broke, slow eye, fat, government assistanted, PRESSED beat cheeks bottom to buy her albums. Let’s not hun.
As for Stephy, try again. He claims to be real here yet goes on YouTube stanning for Mariah and shading Beyoncé, then comes on here claiming to “be real” when he’s as authentic as B’s songwriting. I AM NOT a delusional Lamb. I know all about Mariah. I’ve hung out with her, she knows my name, and I’ve been seeing her live since 1998.
The real “kiii” is why you shade Mariah chart position for being at the bottom as if you’ve ever played any other position than a bottom. Catch a heart attack and jump into a volcano b****.
Let’s not even mention Beyonce’s looks, when Mariah looks like she can be a line backer for the tennessee titans. The b**** has a strong upper built body that gives my dad a run for his money. The b**** is known for photoshopping her muffin top, drooping turkey neck and that over lapping stomach. Let’s not. Beyonce looks like a size 0 supermodel next to ha!
.
Beyonce doesn’t need a diamond plaque. Her career is doing just fine without one. Vanilla Ice and S****** has a diamond plaque and where are they now? kii Just throws all the credibility OUT! DIL is Bey’s FIRST album that came out in 2003. NOT 1883. Rihanna debuted two years after her. So it’s reasonable why they are compared. Mariah is not from this generation! Go and argue back and forth with Ray Charles fans b****!
.
Continue clinging to the past. Cuz clearly no one but deluional fat depressed lonely b****** with down syndrome still buy Mariah’s music. Like fave like fan, I guess! kii
.
Only in that down syndrome infectd mind would you expect anyone to believe you’ve hung with MRI
Go and hang yourself in the closet b****! You won’t be missed!
But how did the rest of the singles from that album do tho? At least Rihanna can guarantee more than 1 top 10 single off her albums.
If you’re referring to Drunk in Love, it took a whole 2 months to even get into the top ten. Without that Grammy performance, it would have NEVER seen the Billboard Hot 100’s top ten. She just would have kept staying the urban charts. Rihanna’s song was already number 15 before the Grammys. I looooove Bey, but people keep trying to hype her singles up like she can sell singles, but she doesn’t. She sales albums
Drunk in love was released nearly a week after BEYONCE was released (DEC 13). It debuted at #12, and stayed in the top twenty for WEEKS before the Grammy performance. After the grammys it shot to #2 and stayed in the top ten with barely any promo. The fact that it is an Hip/Hop/R&B song in the top ten of the predominantly POP/white Hot 100 was icing on the cake.
.
Beyonce can sell singles and albums. She just doesn’t overpromote or put too much focus on singles! Tweeting itunes links and all the other unnecessary desperate foolishness! #CarryOn
FourFiveSeconds is cute but NOT #1 worthy. I’ma need UPTOWN SLAYAGE to keep that #1 spot on LOCK down for atleast 3 more weeks.
Pour it up is the only song of hers I like honestly. Who remembers when DMX got arrested for impersonating a FBI agent? Lmao I love that crazy n****
OK Ratchet Ralph
out of all songs pour it up… lmaoo Diamonds, We found love… you forgot about those boo.. i love rih but those songs are wayy better than pour it up..
I hope Ellie gets to #1… Block dat h** off the top spot…
She will. She’s already at number one on iTunes and the song is MUCH more radio friendly. Max, tove lo and Ellie better slay!
After the hype around 50 Shades of Grey fades so too will the song. I like it too bt its not a #1
This is just a testament to Rihanna’s star power. FourFive Seconds is honestly her worse single to date but the fact that its doing well shows that everything she touches turns to gold. Congrats to Drake too. I’m not impressed with Maroon 5 though. Sugar is a 100% ripoff of Katy Perry’s Birthday. Same production, same chords, same themes, even the same notes. She should honestly sue them or be getting royalty checks.
lol
Fifty Shades has the biggest debut for a soundtrack since 2009!!!! *sips tea* *waits for Home to flop*
lol okay everybody wanted to see that movie especially Since the book was so good.. I like Beyonce. Beyonce only had two songs Crazy in love (which was re done) and haunted.. Regardless if she was on the soundtrack or not it still would have done well.. lol Drake still topped the soundtrack..(http://www.musictimes.com/articles/28869/20150218/drake-shocks-fifty-shades-grey-soundtrack-tops-billboard-200-surprise-album-if-youre-reading-this.htm)
And even if the home soundtrack isn’t good its still not R8 lol its not her real album lol .. Why are yall beyonce fans trolling for rih to do so bad lmaooo its petty and ridiculous at this point .. They are both talented artist.. Stop throwing shade !
And yet it got snatched by a mix tape. *adds honey to tea
And yet FourFiveFloppings will never reach #1… *adds milk and sugar to the tea*
But it’s not a flop, so why are you so bothered?
@CandianNavy: @KareemFenty is there any possibility that FOURFIVESECONDS will go to number one next week ?
@KareemFenty: no
*starts dancing to Drunk In Love*
Four five seconds is gonna lose out to Ellie goulding, who just took over the itunes #1 spot, it looks like. Slay Ellie. UK queens yaaaas!! Style is coming too! Sorry rih!
ki ki BYEEE ELLIE GOULDING BETTER THANK FIFTY SHADES OF GREY FOR PUTTING HER ON THAT SOUNDTRACK.. ! CAUSE
“LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO IS ANNOYING” THE ONLY GOOD WORTHY SONGS ARE HAUNTED BY BEYONCE, SALTED WOUND BY SIA, EARNED IT BY THE WEEKEND, AND WITCH CRAFT BY FRANK SINATRA .. !
And what will Cheryl chart position be?
Cheryl has 2 number one singles in the past 6 months hun. Thanks for that tired, weak attempt tho lmao
Awesome to see style at number 10, hopefully next week will see it rise more:)
Those are three tough songs she is going up against, if FourFiveSeconds goes number one against those songs, then that will be a big feat. I’m certain she’ll do it.
‘
Drake has got a strong fanbase, he always shifts big numbers first week, frankly I didn’t expect any less. Good for him.
‘
Congrats to everyone this week.
I’ll cry if even the single doesn’t outpeak drunk in love. Because we all know her album won’t outpeak Beyonce.
Stop being obnoxious, … she already has 13 #1s even if it doesn’t get number 1 its fine… Bruno Mars has the best number one song right now so its fair.. he had the longest running number one song..! And number 4 is great.. Its still a top ten hit the fact that it was in the 50s and rose up to number 6 and now number 4… BIG TINGS AH GWAN !!..
Lol. YES SIRE!!!
*Sucks Teeth*
All i see is excuses
APEhanna will nosedive next week #FLAWP
YAASSSSSSS A CICI FAN WOULD KNOW ABOUT FLOPPING CAUSE THATS ALL CIARA EVER DONE .. !!
#Flops.com
You are sooooo PRESSED omg! Want some pepper to go with that SALT?
#CiaraFlopSince08
#07 actually after like a boy thats when it all went downhill
I see the usual Hive and Z Squad members seething. Atleast Beyoncé can sell. What about Z-iara? Face it, the public has spoken. The song is a HIT and there’s nothing you panini pressed ass b****** can do about it! *blows kisses*
Idk if she’ll go #1 she’s got alot of competition
Idk if she’ll go #1 she’s got alot of competition. Anyways I want Thinking out loud go #1 next week that song f****** slayssssss
Thinking out loud need to be #1 that song slays the whole damn Top 10
his voice is amazing
Yass ikr that song is way better than that Uptown Funk s***
Love the song bt that video tho… he could have told a story with it
Life is but a dream is GOLD in France
LMAO!!!!
If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’ is #1 with over 535,000 united moved its inaugural week (495,000 of those are pure album sales). To put this into context, Beyonce’s self-titled surprise moved 617,000 units in a little over 3 days, but could at least later boast physical copy sales in its tally.
Uhh i’m pretty sure Drake’s album came out on a friday morning, same as Beyonce. Not quite sure why the article states otherwise.
i thought Rashad was complimenting drake. people act like bey’s album changed the world, but drake damn near did similar numbers.
i didn’t take it as an insult
LOL AS USUAL, THE BEDBUGS ARE SEETHING CUZ QUEENHANNA’S REIGN WON’T LET UP, AND JAY Z’S S**** STRUGGLEYONCE COULDN’T BUY HER WAY INTO THE TOP 10 WITHOUT HER MASTER’S HELP LOL.
WHERE’S 9/11 ON THE CHARTS, BUGS? LOL
4/5 SECONDS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>9/11 LOL
7/11 managed to do more with no promo whatsoever. Try again.
actually not true although 7/11 did do good without promo, FFS went top ten without promo thats already miles ahead of FFS.
Just when u thought we done, Wi jus a come!
Lol. I thought the navy said it would go to #1 after the Grammys.
actually only mark claimed that, LB and I already called her out for that.
#tryagain
Why is TGJ comparing a hip hop rapper’s mixtape to a Pop starlet’s album? Ok. Anywho, congrats to Drizzy, Bruno, and of course Riri.

Why are the parasites here? The lessor posts is down below this one. You know the one with Beyonce and Gaga only pulling in “Luke-warm” ratings. I’m surprised since both of them had a lot of people pay for their concerts, just wondering why no one watched for free?
The payload, magazines covers and Hollywood LEO stunt have not make Rihanna’s song a smash hit like one would expect.
RITA ORA is building fans the ild fashioned way, she is profit everywhere. She will slay Empire with this sing. listen to her BLOW.

Congratz to Drake!!!
The album is awesome and totally worth the money. For the first time, not one song I skip or dislike
I love this man
