Ciara is all sorts of confident these days.
Last week saw the songstress release her sixth studio album ‘Jackie’ to critical acclaim.
However, per industry sales estimates, the set’s projected first week numbers of 20,000 are indisputably below what many had hoped for the ‘I Bet’ led set.
During an interview with Philadelphia’s Power 99 RNGMS to plug to project’s accompanying tour, the performer was asked directly what her take on the sales were.
What did Ci say? Find out below…
Undeterred, the diva asserted that while she would have wanted more, she is “just getting started” with the project which she deems her “best body of work” to date.
She also reminded that she’s been in the business for over 13 years and that touring the album is her focus; adding that there will be a second leg of the current trek.
Check out the audio below…
Kudos to the interviewer for “going there” and to Ciara for responding with class and honesty.
Some will undoubtedly sharpen their claws, but the reality is that the industry is changing and moving increasingly towards a 360 model which favours touring. Put simply, music is fast becoming merely an advert for “the show.” And with Ci’s primary power resting in her ability as a stage blazer, re-moulding her strategy to focus on that is smart.
What’s more, far too many are neglecting the fact that Ci’s past missteps, politics, and label drama aren’t necessarily “fixable” with just one project or even two. It’s a long and steady road. Thankfully for Ms. Harris, she’s clearly in it for the long haul.
More power to her!
She is such a mess. She is like that senile old lady that keeps knitting sweaters for a dog that died six years ago.
d-mn that was so harsh.
YESSSSS!!!!! That was hilarious!!! This b**** is in denial! Her career is over! The album sucks!!!
And your career begins when??? Oh, ok!
B**** you’re a f****** liar! This is definitely Ciara’s best work since Evolution. “Lullaby”, “That’s How I’m Fellin”, “B.M.F.”, “Stuck On You”, “All Good”, “I Bet” & “I Got You” are not only great songs, but also have sounds similar to ‘Goodies’ & ‘Evolution’ eras! Which is what fans & people who haven’t supported her recently have asked for. Also the songs with a more pop sound were DEFINITELY done justice. Rihanna wishes she had some of the songs on Jackie! This is the best album by an Urban/Pop female in a while. Stop hating and actually listen to the album!
She should just get a new and better dog
Perhaps you’re mother ? She should fit right in as the perfect replacement dog xoxo b****
Let’s get Jackie to platinum certification in 2 months y’all.. let’s buy the hell out of it… who’s with me???
F****** LMFAO if you think it’s even going to scan 100K.
Hahahahaha, 100k will be a task.
LOL Bless Cireleb
LOL Bless Cirelevant 🙁
Huh….well at least she has a good attitude…
Where her stans at?
American oxygen sold triple dat lol
A $1.29 single is not the same as an album….
Duh DUMMY. But let’s not act like Rihanna doesn’t push at least 175-240k first week.
But Yall wanna throw shade lmao
Yet none of Rihanna’s albums have surpassed The Evolutions 338k in terms of first week sales…. And I bet outsold and out charted AO btw…
We throw shade because the Navy continually brag about Rihanna’s hit singles. Rihanna is a hit maker, but American Oxygen and the other singles are flops especially for Rihanna.
I Bet outsold American Flopygen though right?
How but FourFive, you know, their first singles. ????
Ooohhh, but that “first single” rule didn’t apply when you were trying to compare FourFiveFourHeads to 7//11. So you can miss me with that b*******.
Well FourFive outsold Silly Drunk In Love. We compared quality of the two songs and AO is a better song than I Failed and Flop O. ????
Recepts for 45seconds outselling drunk in love PLEASE!
F*** that! Dont come at me on some b******* when you were literally just doing the same muthafucking thing, hypocrite.
And in what world did FourFiveFlops outsell Drunk In Love??? I’ll wait…..
7 years ago hun, 7 years ago. 😉
And its been a few years since Rihanna’s had a #1…From the looks of things she might not be seeing another one any time soon either. So you might want to slow your roll.
You mean in 2013? How does 2008 sound? Bush was in office. MJ was still alive. #EpicFail ????
No, I meant 2012.
Beyonce’s been #1 on Forbes and the Top 200 album chart…wheres Rihanna’s #1 at?????
Forbes list? Really? LMFAO
|
I thought we were talking about music, but can’t say I’m surprised.
|
Rihanna #1s or her chart acheivements or her record sales (all in just 10 years) are forever cemented in history.
|
Money is just money. Beyonce or any filthy rich billionaire could be broke by the end of the week. #EpicFail
Yes, Forbes AND THE TOP 200 ALBUM CHART.
You keep bringing up “7 years” but b**** hold on, Rihanna hasnt had a #1 in SEVERAL YEARS on the Hot 100 or 200. So I repeat, where’s her #1???
Where is Beyonce’s? The last time she had one was in 2008. Bush was in office. Michael Jackson was still alive. Ciara was still getting platinum. Lol. That self drag is priceless. ???? ???? ????
The last time Rihanna had a #1 Whitney Houston was still alive lol. So, you arent one to talk…
Whitney passed away in 2012. Rihanna got her 13th #1 in 2013. What an epic fail. #YouTriedButFailed ???? ???? ????
Yeah and it took Rihona “7 years” to get a #1 album!! #Asyouwere
No, Eminems last hit was in 2013. RIHANNA’S was in 2012.
as if kanye and paul mccartney fans didn’t help with those 45S numbers…
BUT WHY we talking about I bet when BBHMM outsold that in a day or 2 KI ????
is those stans don’t love your Album by noooowww, they will never ever, never ever love it, they will never ever love it ooooo… lol
hahahah but you on here trying to read info about her haha
Ciara keeps trying to push this formula people aren’t interested in….she just doesn’t get it..
…at least she’s trying to stay positive?
Either way her career has been over since 2007. Releasing an album of outdated electropop Fad b-sides in 2015 certainly doesn’t help. I’m expecting her to get “break away” from Epic soon.
She’s better than LAMA’s ass.
S*** at this point Kylie Jenner> Lana flop ray
Does Herprihs has a release date yet?
At this point Kylie >>> Cedric >> Rihfund
Ultraflop gold yet B****?
What a follow up from a lukewarm album that took 3 years to go platinum.
Yes it did go gold back in Febuary ugly fäg.
Does R8PE have a release date yet? You still haven’t answered?
RSLAY has no Date but it will KILL ULTRASHIT
LOL LIES. ULTRANONEXISTENCE DIDN’T EVEN DO 300K LOL
Maybe she should have done a ticket freebie giveaway like Madonna did, that would have gotten her a few more sales…
Death at that f** LOL lying as usual. How is UV only at 300K when it was at 300K back in September? A BLANTANT lie unlike FAD’s jazz album only selling 100K worldwide in the last five months.
RIAA and Soundscan said it sold 500K back in February which is more than what SHITga’s next SOLO album will sell. Not to mention Lana selling out venues bigger than Fad will EVER see again in North America.
Not that I’m interested in Lana, but what does Kylie Jenner do again? I mean other than Instagram those atrociously botched lips of hers?
The release date joke is tired now. If that all you guys got than your reading catalogue is dusty and uneven. Rih never gave a day, hour, minute, month, or quarter on her release. She just said soon. Be patient love . I’m sure thatillegallydownloadjuice will have her posted as soon as she drops!
Ultraviolence scanned gold months ago! Gets ur facts straight!! @LOL
Girl bye, you’re a flop & a disappointment to music. Where’s the Hive tho? Weren’t you supporting this man?
After 3 singles?
Where’s RLATE?
but WHERE is the Z-Squad? They always get so cocky whenever she starts a new era acting like she’s going to do 80-100K first week when their fave is too busy chasing d*** to fix her career. They do more promo for Ciara than Ciara herself.
This is so funny since they tried to drag my fave almost a year ago when her lead single flopped and they claimed she would only do 45K first week.
But let’s not forget that the real losers here are Mumford and Sons, Cedrick has been a flop nothing new there.
Bad numbers for Mumford but they still have the highest debut of the year, unfortunately.
Wilder Mind sucks ass (as usual) and it’s being panned even harder by critics compared to their first two albums.
Death at some of the songs sounding like worship music but Just Smoke has gotta be the highlight of that album IMO otherwise I can’t wait for Florence,OMAM and Metric to come save the day
They always use these same slow build ups in all of their songs leading to some huge grandiose thing; dead at they claiming that this alum was something different but all they did was replace their banjos with guitars. Everyone is comparing this album to Coldplay but the difference is that Coldplay actually try.
Florence and Metric will be exciting as usual. I’m hoping OMAM don’t suffer a sophomore slump or anything. What other major indie acts are releasing in 2015?
You heard the single metric single? Wasn’t a fan of synthetica so I’m hoping the new stuff will make up for it , I know the Maccabees have some new stuff coming up. Bon iver and fiest have been too quiet I’m sure we can expect something towards the third and fourth quarter, I think it’s too soon to expect anything from Grizzly bear, Bat for lashes and Foals
I heard The Shade on Sirius XM today, it’s good and I’m hoping it’ll be their first alternative chart top 10 in the US. It’s much better than the TRASH polluting it right now lol!
And omg Bon Iver needs to release. It’s been so long. I’m sick of all the basic white girls singing along to Skinny Love around here though (the Birdy cover though). And it’s been 3 years since Grizzly Bear released too so if they spent as must time as the last album, there’s a possibility they might release in Q3/4.
Also I just checked: Foals are in the studio and have festival dates in Europe this summer so they’re probably a lock for Q3. I’m so excited. I’ve been listening to them nonstop lately for some reason.
Bon iver might be looking at next year to release especially since S carey has his own solo stuff out and Justiinn Vernon has been producing for other bands, got to see Foals last year at the o2 academy Total life forever(their best album to date IMO) and antidotes have been slaying my current existence anyways it was nice engaging with you good to see that people still got great taste in music 🙂
these numbers are terrible, really disappointed, I was rooting for you cici (tyra voice)
We were all rooting for her (tyra voice)
LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS! (tyra voice). ????
Like I said before, it was too early to release this album. Ciara is not the type of artist who can release an album after one single, certainly not if that single performed below average. She should’ve started with an EP to generate buzz and then went in for an album. She needed to kill it in the promo department but she didn’t. The numbers for Jackie aren’t surprising at all. The album itself isn’t bad, it just didn’t have any buzz or interest surrounding it.
Omg stop the denial. She couldve promoted it to the moon and it still woulda flopped. Just accept the fact that no body cares anymore. The truth will set you FREE
The good news for Ciara is that I THINK Danity Kane might still be hiring.
People just need to accept the fact that Ciara isn’t hot anymore.
Stop blaming promo, stop blaming Epic, the record label can only do so much.
Ciaras Career died, when crunk music went out of style.
TAYLOR SWIFTS album 1989,sells another 25,094 in its 28th week.
Damn so Taylor Swift is doing Ciara first week sales, in her 28th week??????????????
Ashanti did Ciara first week sales with an indie album, no radio (Braveheart, debut #10 – 28K – March 2014)
KI ????????????????
Death ????????????????????
Lol jano you nailed it ….the thing I hate about this flop the most is how she does the same thing ,yet expect different results .
No wonder future dumped her ass
Ciara only 20K is not bad?
::sips truth tea::
Last year, Ashanti debuted 28,000K with an indie album (Braveheart, March 2014), no record label. When you sellin’ worst than that, you really need to hang up your coat child.
18k*
according to hits daily double FLOPACKIE HAS SOLD
19,856 physical sales and 25,086 with streaming sales
lmaoooooo
She needs to stop trying to be an album seller and focus on being a singles artist, I’m sure Pitbull,Jason Derulo and Flo Rida are willing to welcome her in their club with open arms
Where’s that Jackie person at?? You was talking about Lil Wayne, but his last album was ceterfied gold, with 4 singles that cracked the top 30 on the BB100.
Sam U are a ugly mess U simply praise ciara for 20,000 in sales and her body of work, but read rihanna on several occasions just because you can’t take her and all she brings to the table.Your so ugly for that and to think that ciara is better then rihanna or even sings better is a f****** joke…. it’s Rihanna and Beyonce all the way and no other black girl really matters they are the it b****** ciara better sit her Mediocre ass down!
Thats exactly what she said last time when “ciara” sales were low. By the way this site should just be called, ThatCiaraJuice.net – Majority of the post’s are all about her #bye
Lool these commentss
she quotes, “All my tours are sold out” OF COURSE THEIR SOLD OUT, THE CLUB ITSELF IS THE SIZE OF A KIDNERGARDEN CLASSROOM THAT HOLDS ABOUT 25 PEOPLE! #reallytho
Dead !!!
????????????????
Why does she keep staring how long she has been in the industry? That should be the last thing you want people to know. Knowing that you flopped for 75 percent of your tenure.
Stating *
She not a flop with over $10mil in bank…. CIARA B.M.F #case close #jackie #stepyourweightup #counthercommas #hatersfallback
“Your lady wanna be me thats a fact, Know that #get’em cici” -go girl
Too bad none of that money matters to Billboard.
Poor CiCi ????????
She’s delusional
Her last three albums have flopped, there’s no hope for Caesar
but keri has barley scanned wood 🙂 is she still getting evicted from her condo?
Both of her albums sold well above this tho. Let’s not
@Mitchell b****** get the fucccck out of my reply box h** , Speak when spoken your spoken to hoeee
@mitchell
Exactly ????
These uglies are pressed
Evicted from Her condo?? You fagggssss believe anything you see online… She’s has MULTIPLE homes, in multiple cities.. Kill yourself
MisCarried’s last album only sold 300K in five years so you have no room to speak.
Sure I can Caesar has back to back flops and Keri’s last era was more successful than the “ciara” era and the jacked era
Worry about Lanaalcoholic taking 9 months to scan 500k, like plastic minaj she won’t see platinum status
The self-drag. You do know 9 months>>>5 years and STILL not even coming close to gold right?
Meanwhile Lana is performing for a sold out crowd of nearly 10,000 tonight (and that’s the SMALLEST venue on her tour) while Big Bird can’t even book the frozen food aisle of the Walmart she performed outside of on her last actual tour.
LMFAOOOOO YAAAAS ROSIE DRAG THAT DELUSIONAL TROLL!!!
The last album should had be her revamp, I said that in 2013. But it looks like this album is the revamp. 20k is a flop non the less, you’re NEVER going to get higher sales than your first week, this album won’t even make it to 43k. And the excuses in this post, cause we know if Rihanna does less than 200k, it will be flop everywhere.
.
Yes music has changed, but people aren’t even bothered to stream or songs, albums or videos. I think she should model, even a TV show, she speak very well and a LOT. But yes, more tours, start small and work her way up. She will NEVER have a Rihanna or Beyonce career, she made way too many mistakes this past decade.
Poor Ciara. She was just doomed from the beginning. She’s just one of the many talentless artists used in the Atlanta music scene.
|
She can’t sell records, she’s performing at nightclubs or high-school-level halls as venues for her tour to pay back her label for her 3 back-to-back flopped albums, her behavior increases the number of black single mothers, she has a baștard child and on top of that, she’s raising her baștard without a father. She’s just a statistic, a total embarrassment.
|
Not only is Ciara a failure professionally, she’s also a failure personally. She’s just a failure in life.
Ed Sheeren has a bigger stage and all he does is stand in one spot playing a guitar.lol
As Dionne Warwick said: “A B1tch can’t”
Let’s see, Ciara has millions in the bank and is a failure in life? You’re perched on a comment board all day making numerous comments about her, so what does that say about your success in life?
Centurion shut the f*** up u sound so damn stupid. First of all her child has nothing to do with her career and yo hating ass b****. Second you need to stop riding beyonce and rihanna’s d*** like everybody else. Thinking they are the sh** and they aint worth crap. Ciara is talent point blank and period. So what she sold only 20k thats because these d*** sucking ass h*** dont know real a** music just like yo slow a**. You ppl did the same thing with aaliyah had a amazing talent but didnt see it cause yo head was stuck all up beyonce a** like she is God’s gift to f***** music b**** bye. Aaliyah lost her life and then everybody wanna miss her now and her music and tired of B-hive and all that s***. Ciara is and always will be better she is real talent. Y’all need to get yo life on track and stop this b hive s*** and riri dog s*** a**. CiCi thats how im feelin b****????????
19kara / 25kara
With her new album 20Kie.
???? ???? ???? ???? ????
Who cares ? Slayara still outperforms all your favs on stage no matter how small it may be. She’s also the most beautiful female in the industry 🙂
Girl, bye. C-Error spends half the time relying on her back up singers and the other half asking the audience to sing along “come on y’all.”
????????????????????
WAIT A MINUTE SO YOU WATCH HER PERFORM LIVE!?!?!?!?! LOL ACT LIKE YOU DONT CARE ABOUT HER BUT YOU KEEP CHECKING UP ON HER
She’s not booking awards in MUISC!!! She should just do modeling. LMFAOO
20kie!!! ???? ???? ????
|
Well done Mark. ???? ???? ????
She deserves everything she gets. She is so fake. B**** you don’t “just get started” AFTER the release of the record. Oh so those performances were still tied to the last era? B**** sit the f*** down and raise your child. That’s where thirst gets you.
Oooh jamie u need to get beyonce d*** out yo mouth and swallow. Cause i hope those words tasted so good cummin out yo mouth b****, cause cici is talent, entertaining, popular and has style. So 20k so what omg first week y’all act like a h** gone die or something damn. Its not the end yet h**. Ciara is back and know it. I swear beyonce songs sound a like but yo silly ass dont hear that s*** ok ???????? lol but she is the queen ok ???????????? y’all funny a** s*** on here and need to stop. Let me give u a list of real actual talent Brandy,Aaliyah,Ciara,Alicia Keys,K.michelle,and Ashanti. These ladies are real talent. Beyonce and Rihanna are a trend period just something that is hot for this moment but will soon fall like the rest. I promise you. So get those words ????????????????
Bee is on your mind not mines boo. You tried it but you split it cause you couldn’t f****** fit it. B**** bye!! And wipe your mouth as you exit…
I live for her faithful spirit and attitude. At the end of the day, she is doing what she loves this era. And that is performing, while you are at home writing essays about how she’s flopping.
–
I’m excited to see how it turns out in the long term look of things…. However I still don’t understand why she’s not booking these televised award shows such as Billboard etc. her team is ????
–
I definitely agree with Sams statement regarding the 360 changes within the music industry, catering more towards touring acts and not just album sales per say, however it’s so scary the way things have completely changed over the years as far as music business goes.
–
At the end of the day I really don’t give AF how or why Jackie flopped, it’s a great feel good album with multiple bops and single worthy hits. It definitely makes me put things into perspective….
–
Anyway on a lighter note…. IM SUPER EXCITED FOR JANETS RETURN AND RECENT LABEL SIGNING WITH ATLANTIC!!! COMING JULY 10th!!!! YALL THOUGHT SHE WAS DONE! ????
That’s was Molly, your gal pal.
Please don’t mention my name.
Molly. ????
Living for this comment boo well except the last part.
LMFAOOOO
Didn’t she say this last time? Like literally I remember her saying this.
Dammmmmn, now those are FLOP numbers lol Where’s that Jackie stan, that bum b****.
“7 years ago hun, 7 years ago. ????”
And its been a few years since Rihanna’s had a #1…From the looks of things she might not be seeing another one any time soon either. So you might want to slow your roll.
Kii what will they have left to cling to?
Instagram modeling kii!
You mean in 2013? ???? ???? ????
|
How does 2008 sound? Michael Jackson was still alive. President Bush was still in office. ???? ???? ???? ????
No, I meant 2012.
Beyonce’s been #1 on Forbes and the Top 200 album chart…wheres Rihanna’s #1 at?????
Forbes list? Really? LMFAO

I thought we were talking about music, but can’t say I’m surprised.

Rihanna #1s or her chart acheivements or her record sales (all in just 10 years) are forever cemented in history.

Money is just money. Beyonce or any filthy rich billionaire could be broke by the end of the week. #EpicFail ????
Yes, Forbes AND THE TOP 200 ALBUM CHART.
You keep bringing up “7 years” but b**** hold on, Rihanna hasnt had a #1 in SEVERAL YEARS on the Hot 100 or 200. So I repeat, where’s her #1???
Where is Beyonce’s? IT’S BEEN 7 YEARS. LMFAO!!!!! I am crying at the continuous self-drag. Keep them coming. ???? ???? ????
Stop changing the subject? Where is beys number 1?
B****! You’re the one who made #1’s a topic of discussion. So the drags on you lolol *face hits palm*
Beyonce’s self titled DOUBLE PLATINUM ALBUM went #1 in over 100 countries.
When was the last time Rihanna’s had one of the those because those? Lord knows she hasnt had anymore hit singles to fall back on for over 3 years now.
@RihBoy
Where’s Rihanna’s? lmao
But when is Beyonce getting a #1 hit?
|
???? ???? ???? ???? ????
|
Don’t you think that 7 years is a bit too long? ???? ???? ????
But nothing that RihSinglesArtist has released this era has gone number 1. Not FourFiveFourHeads, not American Flopygen, not B**** Better Have My Flop, not RLATE…nothing! And its been over 3 years.
The struggle is real lol
Beyonce hasn’t had a #1 hit in 7 years. She has 2 top 10 hits this decade, which include Gaga’s Telephone. THE STRUGGLE IS DEFINITELY REAL!!!! ???? ???? ????
|
#NP Nate Dogg – Keep it Coming
|
I still love this song. ????
Wait! You didnt answer my question lol.
How much do you want to bet that Rihanna’s album sales are going to take a DECLINE this era if she doesnt pull a #1???? lol
When is Beyonce getting #1 hit? It should be difficult for the queen. Why is this happenning to her?
|
???? ???? ???? ????
Rihanna’s a singles artist. So where’s her #1? Its been 3 years….
2013 is not 3 years hun. Lol. When is Beyonce getting a #1 hit? How long has it been? ???? ???? ????
When’s the last time saw an album not related but simply REACH double platinum? It was the same time the Pilgrims were deciding what land to invade..
No, RIHANNA’S last hit was in 2012.
But she had one last year
Where!???
The Monster was number one and number one in the uk
Nothing that RIHANNA has released thus far has gone number #1
So has Beyonce. It was 7 years ago, as in last decade. ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ????
Beyonce went number 1 on the Billboard 200 AND in over 100 countries…So bye!
But when is she going #1 on the Billboard hot 100? Hello! Kiii 😆
When is Rihanna going to go #1 on billboard hot 100 or 200?
Because RLATE doesnt have a release date and FourFiveFlops, B**** Better Have My Flop, and American Flopygen havent done the job.
Her last #1 was in 2013. When is Beyonce getting a #1 hit? How long has it been tho? ???? ???? ????
Wow sorry Cici i’m speechless…. The album is great and sales don’t determine the the quality of music. Wishing you the best.
Wow, it sounds like you’re dropping C-flop, I don’t blame you lol. She can’t back bend her way out of this.
Ciara, just do you and that’s all that matters. Have fun with your music and don’t worry about album sales. Not too many artists are selling albums like talking about anyways. Ciara, don’t give up on your dreams and I hope Ciara’s fans don’t give up on her either.
She already lost one fan ^^^ >> Molly.
HAHAHA you make me laugh!!! you is what I call a band-wagon fan.
Its only the deranged butthive that `drag` hard working women over something that they have made significant, first week sales
Music was never about first werk sales until they made it that way
Ciara has been cool since goodies enough with the insane behavior
*Scrolls through comments*
Really??? because the only people that I see in here dragging Ciara’s first week sales are the dumb ass GAYvey…
Well at least she is still positive about it. Ciara is a beautiful girl who is well spoken, I think she should ask Kim to hook her up for a reality TV gig, and go independent music wise. Ashanti does 20K without a label and managed to shoot 2 videos, something for Ciara to consider.
“And its been a few years since Rihanna’s had a #1…”
|
You mean 2013? LMFAO!!! Epic fail.
|
How does 2008 sound? That was the last time Beyonce had a #1 hit. MJ was still alive. President Bush was still in office. Ciara was still slaying the charts. ???? ???? ????
No, I meant 2012.
Beyonce’s been #1 on Forbes and the Top 200 album chart…wheres Rihanna’s #1 at?????
Forbes list? Really? LMFAO

Where is Beyonce’s? IT’S BEEN 7 YEARS. LMFAO!!!!! I am crying at the continuous self-drag. Keep them coming tho.
How are you going to stan for a singles artist…with no hit singles lol?
Beyonce just had a DOUBLE PLATINUM ERA. Whilst ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that Rihanna has released has gone #1.
It sucks to be you right now!!! haha
Where is Beyonce #1? Don’t you think that 7 years is a bit too long? What about her star power? Go on and take a bow!!! (Riri’s fifth #1). ????
Beyonce could release right now and manage to pull over 900k in the first week without a #1 single.
Rihanna on the other hand, is the most singles reliant artist IN MUSIC HISTORY. She’s never had a successful era without having 1 or 2 #1’s dominating the air waves. How much do you want to bet that RLate is going to flop without one? Seriously .lol
Where is Beyonce’s #1 hit? Why does she have only 2 top 10 hits this decade? THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!!! ????
Beyonce had a grammy award winning, double platinum, critically acclaimed, #1 album.
RihSinglesArtist relies on #1 SINGLES. RLATE will not succeed if she doesnt manage to pull another. And If that album flops, and it most likely will, I will drag for days.
Rihanna has more to lose than any of her contemporaries right now.
LMFAO!!! You’re panicking. You’re literally using every success she has, but when oh when is she getting a #1 hit? Its been 7 years. Why are you guys doing this to her? ???? ???? ???? ????
Why hasnt the Navy managed to get Rihanna a #1 single in the past 3 years???
You know that her album sales depend on it.
Can you remind everyone about the last time Beyonce had a #1 hit? Should I call a historian to assist you? ???? ???? ???? ????
No, you might want to take your own advice and have one assist you in finding Rihannas though…its been over 3 years.
I also look at the fact that when I look at like Azealia Banks who sold 15,000 albums and Ashanti who sold 18,000 albums maybe Ciara should start looking at becoming an independent artist where she could release her own music the she wants to and have better control of her career. I don’t know but I feel like this day and time, an artist don’t need to be sign to a major record label because the power of streaming and iTunes where you could directly go to the source and cut out the middle man.
Yea, but it’s A LOT of leg work though. Just think, you’re performing and booking your shows, getting your material out there, plus more. Ashanti even said she having second thoughts.
After a full year of promo
‘
WW sales: @NICKIMINAJ, The Pinkprint 817,000.
World WIDE! ????
Damn! I need some goooood DICKK right now… Anyways, this post is a mess. Stay positive Cici.
I just love her strong and positive spirit. At least she wasn’t scared to release and still recording songs after months of releasing several singles. Stay determined Ciara and make your dreams come true. I really like the album.
????????????????????
#NP kiss and tell
No one cares about Ciara anymore. I don’t know what she did, but she’s been blackballed. #MoniqueTeas
100K is the new platinum.
More like 500K but I see your point.
Where are the people who were dragging when Billboard added SPS to the albums chart? On weak release weeks (like three weeks ago when Alabama Shakes went #1) at least 70-80% of the top 10 sell less than 30K. Streaming (Spotify especially) effectively killed album sales.
It’s All Goooood !!
In my Hooood!!
Yeah. 😉
P.s: I wonder what her second leg will cover cuz I’m there! 🙂
Sam you are full of S***!! We all know that if Rihanna was to release an album that sold 20K In the first week you would call her all kinds of FLOPS!! Hell truth be told you do that when she sells 150K…yes Ciara is a stage blazer & a performer you can’t neglect the fact that she is not on the same level touring wise as Rihanna in terms of venues & revenue. While I am no “Stan” for neither lady…I do believe that right is right & fair is fair especially in the world of blogging & reporting!! I said all that to say if you are truly that “fair & unbiased site” that you claim to be then girl act like it!!
Lol he low key a part of the #Csquad!!!!! . 4real though.lol.
Are you new to this site?
Lol.
I say this with all honesty and no shade, Ciara should just go on Love and Hip Hop LA along with Future….That would garner more attention for her and her music career…
Well I’m in love with the album. Ciara I’m still here to ride for you and my baby Lake Erie! Never give up up on your dreams.
You already know!! <3 🙂 and I know you aced those finals! 😉
You know nothing then homie. Lol. I paid my professor a few hundred to sell her soul to me. ????????????????????
Lol!!
Not being harsh Because I guess as long as she’s moving units she’s connecting with some base. But didn’t Ashanti move just as many or more with her Album Brave heart Independent off her own label with little promo. I don’t know what’s going on but ciara has work to do and “I Bet” is not first single material its more like the song you release when you’re ending a era.
She needs a better team.
On top of that her show was cancelled tonight due to a power outage. Rough day.

How to you sell less then Ashanti. Ciara’s official done.
Maybe you should ask Brandy that question…
Oop, Lol!
She should have changed her formula. Like others have said, why keep doing something that clearly isn’t working :/
Wow this chick is la la land. lmao Every time she makes an album she says it is her best body of work. smfh And for those who keep asking where is Bey and Rih hits, they don’t need any hits to stay relevant. They are at a place where Ciara can’t and will never make it to……..on top. A shame she has 6 0r 7 million followers on twitter but only sell 22,000? They must follow her to be nosy or just like to see her dance. It don’t make now sense smh
I don’t have time to hear the audio, but it seems like Cici has the attitude I want her to have right now! I hope she don’t give up on the project! She has so much to offer with ‘Jackie’.
Even K.Michelle sold 75K first week. Ciara is DONE!!!!
This album deserves to sell more it is amazing I wish she would’ve chosen “That’s How I’m Feeling” or “Kiss and Tell” as the first single maybe even “Stuck On You” this is a mostly pop album so I think she should’ve just promoted only pop songs and still send “I Bet” to urban radio
It’s not one bad song on her entire album , hopefully the tour and award show performances will boost album sells , it’s flipping right now but if she does everything right this era instead of abandoning it & she release like 5 singles this could sell a lot more maybe possibly go gold this album has so much potential
b****** stay hating for what Ciara in my point of view is way more talented then ri and bey. And I’m not surprised that the album isn’t selling because people to busy getting the music for free these days instead of actually buying the album. While y’all judging and calling her this and that she doing what she loves while y’all Illuminati worshipping ass is doing what? I’ll wait…. She not an underrated artist for nothing get over y’all self and FYI she left future half the people round the world didn’t even know he existed til he got with her. Get y’all money up and stop worrying about the next b**** y’all don’t know what real music is anymore all y’all care about hearing is s*** about shooting, f******, smoking weed and all the other foolishness!!!
I saw her in D.C on Saturday. She light the room up like she was the seed of Micheal and Janet. What sad is people be to caught up on one artist that they miss out on good talent. Beyonce, Alicia are really the last R&B girls that are going platinum every album so that says alot of people not supporting music then complain about sales. Well thats why even Brandy and Monica are fading.
She needs to stop “tricking” people. This is the second time she has dropped that first single and it was R&B and then the album was not. She gets people excited like she’s going back to her roots and then her album is full of derivatives and EDM.
I know it’s about touring, but soon her show gone be filled with tracks from albums nobody has ever listened to.
EXACTLY!!!!!!
That’s what I’m saying!
I expected jackie to be like goodies
She even compared the too. She’s delusional!
If jackie was top rnb like goodies she would sell like hot cakes again.
why do something you already did and lets be real how can a 29 year old woman be her 18 year old self again you people need to wake up and smell the coffee. Maybe her album sales would be much higher if ppl actually bought the album and not sit back and wait to see if others would buy it!!!
Y’all keep talking about she need to go back to when she first came out like damn the women is 29 like he said moving forward if she go back to how she was then y’all would say she needs to grow up and how she has a child and not showing good parent skills and s*** y’all don’t know wtf y’all won’t her album just might sell if people stop stealing off the internet it’s easy now to get artist albums and mix tapes now because the end up all over the internet….
The comments on here are disrespectful childish and nothing but hating. Ciara at the end of the day is talented period. Im so sick of ppl hatin on her for what cause y’all think she dont have the best vocals or whatever. Bey or RiRi dont have no damn vocals all they do is yell and scream on their damn songs. But y’all praise them lol ???????? get the f*** out of here and their music sound the same never changes at all same s*** over and over. At least ciara dont sound the same she give u something new every album she puts out. Except her new life and sound of music and stop holding on this Goodies era s*** it old and gone it was then come to the now which is something better. Jackie is a damn good album the best, give it a chance and listen to it damn. At the end of the day Jackie is good and fresh with great songs. Go get a copy.
People be so quick to comment on Ciara but there mothers is working at old navy, mcdonalds and conways. When your mother gross more than ciara than come for her. Stop hating on a female who you and your mothers life savings would never comapre to.
I never comment on posts but I need to get this out there….
CIARA is not capable of directing her own career. And I will say for ciara it’s not too late to gain her popularity back and sales. Actually tbh she is popular. What people fail to realise is her music sucks! When she related I bet I was like YES bringing back the old school rnb. Then she realises dance like we’re making love. I WAS LIKE YESSSSSS SLAY. Then I heard jackie…..
It’s absolutely rubbish. Outdated Janet inspired junk
It’s so bad and it’s probably her worst album
Ciara was popular because of her aaliyah tom boy look that no one was rocking. But at the same time she was ciara. She just had to talk on a dope beat and it was hot! Now she’s singing over s***** dated beats? Wtf is wrong with her!!!!!
You stick to what you know works! Body party put her back on the map and Rihanna knew it that’s why she started beefing. Then she wants to blend pop with rnb on ciara. Ciara would have been up there with goodies if she kept it rnb.idc what anyone says
……
People say rnb doesn’t sell black people don’t buy music but white people ain’t buying ciara pop!!!!! That’s why she is flopping again. She needs too…
Get jazze pha back… Not for the music just so he can micro manage the girl!
Reinvent her aaliyah look
Stick.with rnb beats but incorporate GROWTH.
Dance like hell in her videos
And work with missy again’!’!
When I saw that she was collaing with missy I was like yesssss loose control part 2. Wtf did i get! Some b******* omg
So many spelling Mistakes but my autocorrect is crazy.
But what I’m trying to say is its not too late but ciara needs to stick with what works for her if she truly wants success
I love this album; I need to see this tour!!!!
She’s amazing on tour when she performance on stage
Bitchez?? Have Several seats because Rihanna Rules…we still waiting for the answer,where is Beyonce’s no.1??!! Don’t act like you don’t hear us.
