Kelly Rowland, Tamar Braxton & Ciara Battle For R&B #1

Published: Saturday 1st Jun 2013 by David

As the world continues to anticipate their respective new albums, R&B staples Ciara, Kelly Rowland and Tamar Braxton have kicked off a digital bid for the top of their genre’s charts- with all three selling enough units each day to potentially secure them the top spot!

Facts and figures below!

While Robin Thicke‘s ‘Blurred Lines’ currently sits atop the chart, the R&B Top Ten finds itself housing Ciara‘s ‘Body Party’,  Tamar’s ‘The One‘ and two songs from X Factor USA judge Kelly Rowland… ‘Kisses Down Low‘ and ‘Dirty Laundry’.

As it stands, ‘Body Party‘ takes the lead after moving around 20,000 units in the last week- putting it at #3, while ‘One’ sits two spots below at #5. Meanwhile, after enlisting The Dream and Harmony to craft cuts for her new LP, ‘Talk A Good Game’, Kelly watches her controversial ‘Laundry’ occupy #6 as ‘Kisses’ sits pretty at #8, one spot below Alicia Keys’ 2x Platinum hit ‘Girl On Fire’.

Only a few thousand units from giving Ciara‘s status as R&B’s highest selling female act this week a run for its money, the R&B belles face fresh competition via ‘Standing On The Sun’ diva Beyonce.

For, by way of her verse on The Dream‘s ‘Turnt‘, she watches the cut soar to #13, days after B’s ROC affiliate Elijah Blake watched his debut single ‘XOX‘ peak at #12 on iTunes’ Official Chart. This news, coming after the performer penned the cut ‘DUI’ for Ciara‘s ‘Ciara’.

Congratulations to all!

        This Coming From A Ciara Fan……………. Hahahahahahahahaha!

  5. Taylor June 1, 2013

    “for Ciara’s Ciara”

    The words self-titled needed to be in there somehow. Otherwise, that just looks really awkward.

  6. King B Agent June 1, 2013

    I am not a ciara stan but Body Party is the best… Still love you Kelly. And Tamar the One is a great song >>>>>>

    • CiCi Slaaaaays June 1, 2013

      Yass body party is the best

  7. truth(icki’s B**** ASS STANS can EAT ME honey!! Yall b**** is a STANK P**** FLOP chile! (puckers lips like Drake)) June 1, 2013

    The One is sick honey! Summer jam, that and Without Me by Fantasia. Standing In The Sun should b released. That performance was Sick SICK SICK! And the song is EVERYTHING AND LIFE ITSELF!! Replays performance for the 100th time.

  8. eric June 1, 2013

    Tamar is the most r&b of the three.

    • truth(icki’s B**** ASS STANS can EAT ME honey!! Yall b**** is a STANK P**** FLOP chile! (puckers lips like Drake)) June 1, 2013

      I agree

  9. 2bad2bme June 1, 2013

    what chart are we talking because itunes don’t count to be honest

  10. Tallb June 1, 2013

    yes ciara is going to perform a mini concert for jimmy kimmel next week! finally a live performance for body party

    • CiCi Slaaaaays June 1, 2013

      Are you serious???? omg omg can’t wait

  11. Blue June 1, 2013

    Im dont mean to hate, its just something a dont understand

    shouldnt bey’s name being attached to a song be enough reason to make it at least a moderate hit? Or dont her fan like her being featured?

    • Anne June 1, 2013

      I’m a Beyoncé fan in general but Turnt is not my kinda song. It’s okay and I’d listen if it were on the radio. But to just automatically buy it because she is featured… don’t think so.

  12. Sex_music June 1, 2013

    These three women are definitely in the game this te around
    Tamar is amazing on “the one” and looks good in the video as well
    Kelly’s song is so raw and emotional. And Ciara’s Body Party is a great comeback for her
    I wish them all the best of luck. Kelly I hope u get a # 1 cd for Talk a Good Game!

  13. Britney Stan June 1, 2013

    Standing on a flop isnt R&B tho…………. r&b charts are so IRRELEVANT tbh honey basic b****** get hype over it.

    • Anne June 1, 2013

      The article is referencing ‘Turnt’ not ‘Standing on the Sun’ though he threw that title out there because it’s a Beyoncé song. ‘Standing on the Sun’ has not been released so it couldn’t possibly be on the ITunes or any other chart. Calling it a flop is extremely premature/inaccurate.

  14. MariahIsMusic1 June 1, 2013

    Kisses down Low>>>
    Body Part>>>

    Whos uhmm tamar?

  15. Mother Monster June 1, 2013

  16. Jose June 1, 2013

    Queen Ciara>>>>>>>> The other random h***..

  17. Super Cisus June 1, 2013

    Ciara’s coming for that #1 spot. Kelly is a flop and Tamar is the only competition she is actually getting AirPlay

    • alessandro June 1, 2013

      she didnt hit #1 when the song was released and it wont be #1 now. wake up

  18. sisqo stan June 1, 2013

  22. BEYSUS OVER JESUS June 1, 2013

    TAMAR !!! TOO BAD THIS CHART IS IRRELEVANT.

  23. KEY June 1, 2013

    Here goes these Ciara fans…excuse me…THAT Ciara fan again. What’s the point in picking random Artists and putting ‘Stan’ behind the name to make it look as if you aren’t trolling? I wish people would stop comparing Ciara and Kelly. Ciara is no where near Kelly’s league singing wise.

    • sisqo stan June 1, 2013

      IKR BOTH ARE FLOPS AND IRRALAVENT

  24. DIGGER BEY June 1, 2013

    This Sisqo b**** is funny lmaoooo. If Kelly do flop, she still will b drowning n millions of dollars. While ur ass drown n misery and being an pile of broke s***. B**** u are THE STRUGGLE bwahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha

  25. MUSTOLO June 1, 2013

    It’s funny to me how people say the R&B charts are irrelevant. Is it because they aren’t the Hot 100 charts….or because they’re they’re only appealing to the R&B audience? I wonder what makes you all say that… Opinions please…..

    • Anne June 1, 2013

      I think some people are saying it’s irrelevant because it’s an ITunes chart as opposed to the Billboard R&B charts.

  26. KEY June 1, 2013

    But don’t get it twisted. Body Party is is still hot.

  27. RoyalKev June 1, 2013

    It’s refreshing to see new R&B songs keeping the genre alive! I’m rooting for Cici & Dream/Bey’s Turnt Up! I also want Chris Brown’s Fine China to get in that top 3 spot too though! Still, it’s nice to see everyone doing so well.

  28. CiCi over everything June 1, 2013

    GO cici! good luck to the other two unknowns too

  29. Kelly & Ciara slay June 1, 2013

    Yes Haters…. Body Party is the dopest song of them all….

    having said that I think that Kelly & Tamar will win this era b/c they work harder than Ciara….

    Kelly is on tour right now… Ciara’s album comes out in a month and she aint annouced no tour dates…. just a couple of festivals…. No TV performances for Ciara yet… lazy

    Tamar is pregnant and she out works most of these ladies

    • LeviLovesCiara June 1, 2013

      She’ll be performing on Kimmel next week. So sit.

  30. LeviLovesCiara June 1, 2013

    Go Ciara!! She’s supposed to be performing on Jimmy Kimmel soon so that can rocket Body Party to #1. The song is on its way to being one of the best selling R&B cuts of the year. It can defiantly go Gold which is great for a pure R&B song

    I’m sorry but the writer of this post has some HORRIBLE writing skills. You might want to take up a journalism course.

    Tamar deserves it. She’s the only one who’s really RnB.The rest always mix hip hop with their music.

  33. JT June 2, 2013

    “R&B staple” Tamar Braxton. Yeah. She’s had, what, like two singles so far?
