Q1 2018 is already proving to be the clash of the titans and Bruno Mars appears to be coming out on-top.
Full story below…
This week, the dynamo divo dropped the ‘Finesse’ remix with Cardi B as a single and it’s not only slaying out of the gate, it’s slaying the competition.
Just ask Justin Timberlake.
The Pop force unleashed ‘Filthy’ as the first single from hotly anticipated album ‘Man Of The Woods’ and it’s currently trailing Bruno in almost every major music market. Especially in the States.
Indeed, as at writing, Bruno is #1 on US iTunes, with JT at #2. And the lead ‘Finesse’ has is growing considerably, while ‘Filthy’ is already receiving red updates.
Sure, it’s early days and their respective projects are in different stages (see: one at the start, the other nearer the end), but the signs point to a more favourable result for Bruno.
In any case, the days and weeks ahead ought to be all sorts of interesting.
Bruno dropped on a Thursday, hence he will likely debut on the next issue of the Hot 100 with just 24 hours worth of sales+streams. Hence, it’s doubtful that he’ll premiere big.
Justin, on the other hand, adhered to the traditional Friday release strategy. Therefore his opening will benefit from a full week’s worth of data.
This sets the stage for a showdown mid month, when both songs will square up sale-for-sale and stream-for-stream. Who do you think will come out on top?
For now, the true winner sees to be James Fauntleroy – who penned both songs!
Bruno is da MAN!!!!!! Glad he knock that hillbilly off his musical horse!! #JustinWho?
Finesse is #2 on Spotify United States! It’s COMIN CHILE!! ??? #Finesse
Yes block this non- factor ¥¥¥¥¥ lol……
I hope the new Bruno song goes #1 so Cardi B can get her 2nd #1
You need to call me today.
LMAO AT RED UPDATES YASS TFJ YALL BETTER ACT LIKE STAN TWITTER AND USE KWORB
The karma gods are just getting started lol.
Yaaaaas lol
Everyone is so eager for him to fail, everybody is so happy. He seems to be the new target, it’s his turn.
You d&MN right it’s his turn! You’re next you racist H0€!!
You cannot talk after the campaign (going way way way too personal at that) you kept forcing with the Lady Gaga thing. That was so oit of control and underserved. She´s got the talent. And nobody deserves to be treated as badly on a personal level. It´s true he seems to be the new target, but only for some people, not teh general public I think. He is one of those emdia darlins. It won´t happen to him (or to Eminem), what they ahve done to Mariah, to Whitney, to Gaga, to Katy now to some point, to Michael in its day and so on. So you cannot even complain really. His career could have very well ended after the Superbowl so many years ago and it didn´t. He should be thankful. Some hate I see now is absurd, but when it comes to me I have always had the same opinion about him. He is not THAT big, and he has talent, but nothing crazy.
The pot calling the kettle BLACK!
filthy is trash anyway
YAAAS Brunoisha snatch Justina’s wig
lol ?
???I thought this was your comment
Bardi cardi is a huge flop….that’s all Nicki know
You think it a flop, but not at all hater
Check the billboard and you see it now a flop, its number 14 on hot one hundred. Both of her features are still in the top ten, and bodak yellow as well. if she finesse in the top ten plus her other three songs stay in the top ten she really winning, and I believe she will be in her own lane.
No platinum singles, cardi will be dropped from her label soon
Check the stats tho because your info is incorrect.
No songs has this ghetto btch done sold 1 million copies ???? The industry calls that a flop
Bodak is soon to be 5x Platinum
No Limit is Platinum
Why lie……cardi it’s not a money maker for the record label fans not buying bodak……still not platinum ….
Another piggy azalea.
Nixxxx RAKE IT UP. ..break it down.
Justin still gonna be top 5 y’all act like he’s flopping
NEXT
Yeah, but the LEAD single from a white icon doesn’t usually struggle in the top 5 behind a Black New-jack.
?
I LOVE JT. STILL WANT HIM TO WIN. HES ONE OF THE BEST.
Why is everyone hating on JT?
Because black America love to play the black privilege card to get away with being openly racist towards a Jewish man with blue eyes, so sad…
Jews control the entertainment industry. If anything, they are the ones who are racist as hell
All racist people say that Black folks are racist & it’s sad especially coming from a Latina Chick!!???
Tyler girl don’t be bitter and jealous because you don’t have that Jewish money and you have to live in the projects begging for food stamps.
We see you S******…you know damn well your race-baiting a s s can’t hide behind all of these fake accounts.
Because I have my own opinion i’m S****** girl shut the f up.
We recognize the buzz words bish…”black america,” “black privilege,” and the those ignorant generalizations will always give your racist S****** a s s away. Like I said…we see you.
Bruno just comes across way more authentic, soulful and fun than Justin even though he is just rehashing a sound from 90s, it feels so fresh because you can tell he is enjoying what he is doing for once. Justin is coming across dull and prentious. The GP can always tell when an artist is doing way too much calculation rather than just enjoying their music. A shame because I loved him in his future s** love sounds era.
JT new song sounds like something left of future love s** album.
Yasss! Cardi coming for the second number 1!!!
YAAAAS block that corny ass Justin “All Lives Matter” Timberfake!
Love Bruno, he is like the closest thing to MichaeI. I do like Justin, he really tries to deliver, but Brumo is the man! Anything Bruno does is magic. Need to hear Cardi with him. She is someone I knew was going to blow up. Her personality is so magnetic. Wishing them all the best in the new year.
Bruno is more talented. Better musicianship, way better voice, he has got the moves too, an own style… so I cannot be mad. Overall I would say Bruno is a more successful worldwide act than Justin taking into account how far they have gone in their respective careers.
☕️
Lol! I guess Justin couldn’t Finesse his way up the charts this time around that… Lol. I’m rooting for Bruno to go number #1!
Good! F*** that culture vulture
Bruno Mars & Cardi B are doing what other artist should be doing MAKING HITS THAT PEOPLE ENJOY TO DANCE & play!!
Just a heads up everyone, LATINA CHICK is (S****** BLONDE!)
YAWN! Case your head is never up its always going down on someone…
LOL…
“your head is never up its always going down on someone”
Stop projecting your deviant behavior you dirty f** lol.
Wow, S****** this is yo girl, Strawberry. You can run but u sho’ can’t hide. I told you we are The Gatekeepers. the nerve of you pretending to be a Latina chick, hoping to pit minority against minority, white man laughs as chaos ensues. You rusty ol’ closet-case Nazi devil. Believe it or not i actually Like Justin, but he does try too hard to appropriate Black culture and STILL reap the benefits of white privelege with shameless self promotion disguised as man-of-da-woods introspection, yet just as any garden variety fame w**** would have it, PERFECTLY timed for maximum “Superbowl”effect. And THAT, s******”latina nazi-chick”blonde.. is why this girl is Team BRUNO !*
#blockJustin
lol
Justin’s release seemed to coincide with his upcoming super bowl appearance. Bruno’s release appears timed for his 8 Grammy nominations in addition to Cardib’s nominations. They will all probably perform their hits. The clash makes good press and guarantee more you tube views sales and charting. Looks like everybody wins
Exactly . If my calculations are right i think someone ELSE is releasing on Grammy week as well ??
Bruno milking the fukk out of this album? I vote for Justin’s project. It’s new!
Yeah, it’s new but the song sucks.
