And the sales are in!
That’s right, after a week of intense anticipation, the first week numbers for K.Michelle’s ‘Rebellious Soul’ have been published by Hits Daily Double.
So, just how many units did she shift?
Prepare to be surprised below…
First Week Figure: 68,205 units sold.
Billboard 200 position: #2
Congratulations are most certainly in order for the ‘I Just Wanna‘ star!
Sure, while 68,000 may stand as many an act’s worst nightmare, it isn’t when it’s put into context.
For, by shifting this amount, she earns one of the highest first week figures in recent R&B history (no exaggeration) and does so without the benefit of a smash hit lead single.
Important, as the lack of a smash hit lead single has oft been used to defend a number of unfortunate first week results recently.
More importantly though, we can’t help but to wonder how many more copies Michelle would have shifted had her campaign depended less on ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta‘ and emulated Ciara‘s campaign, which we can all agree was nothing short of promo perfection (see ‘BET‘ residency).
As the saying goes, what’s done has been done, and K.Michelle has done very well. So, here’s to the continued success of both she and her thriving career!
YASSSS DEAD at her beating TRANNYARA though KIIII KIIII TO THE MOTHERFUCKEN KIIIIII!
Rihanna Navy is so funny. They were on twitter promoting the heck outta K Michelle’s Album and gifting it to their friends and family LMAO Poor Ciara!
what does kiiii mean?
Ewwww!!! Ugly horse faced, tranvestite donkey witch.
Grow up!
MORE THAN CI-ERROR! AHAHAHHAHAHA
Dayummm… Just how much HAD she sold???
So called veteran artist like Brandy, Kelly,and Clara should reevaluate their career if a reality non established artist can top or match their first week sales without a real hit or promo.
No boo, she might out sold brandy n Ciara ( tnx 2 love n hip hop) but not kelly go check again
But on a serious note congrats K Michelle it was a great album. The messy Z Squad must be seething. First beat by Kelly, now K Michelle bwahahahaha!
Wait a minute Kelly sold 68000 Ms reality star sold how much 68000 I want to know who’s fudging the numbers! Ms reality star didnt have competition from the hip hop genre nor did her album leak! THAT WAS A REALLY BAD WEEK FOR KELLY ROWLAND!
Exactly they r playin wit the # n if Kelly had released he album then same day as miss reality then # 3 wud hav been ms reality’s spot
Congrats! Where the Flop Squad at? They the first to comment on Ri and Bey posts! Take your own sweet time honeyzz!
LMFAOOOOO CIARA gurlllllll you let a reality show star outsell u.
Who is K Michelle? I don’t even know who that is. But I know you. An established RnB act who is a F****** FLOP
bye
Ciara fans mad as hell. Sam tried all yall with this post lol
This is shameful for that Janet tribute act.
Was thinking the same thing when I first heard Body Party. Why she biting Janet so bad? I understand if that is who you came up listening to but d—-! Be original
Kelly, Ciara and Brandy. You should be ASHAMED of yourselves. Well not Ciara because her manager was actually on his job and got her some good ass promo but the other two need to step their cookies up.
at least you know what the problem is for KRowland and Brandy. MANAGMENT. I know we all think we can manage better than our fav artist managers sometimes lol, but damn, brandy’s manager is stuck in the 1990’s…and kelly, she had hella promo, not as much as Ciara but still. Superbowl…50million + watched, and she used Beyonce to get ahead n one of her songs. But brandy has sold more in Japan alone, not to mention US and every other country, than Kelly, Ciara, and K Michelle, so lets not get ahead of ourselves.
This makes no sense, If kelly and Brandy sold okay or the same without promo and K. and Ciara did, wheres the shame? Doesn’t it show that with more promo they would’ve done better?
I’m struggling with the point
Don’t get it twisted , watever that reality tv girl name had plent promotion n a show which she is known 4 attacking ppl so I’m surprise this is all she got n she never out sold kelly mayb brandy n Ciara but not kelly, go check again
I feel embarrassed for the C Squad. They do the most trolling on this site on actual successful superstars threads but then karma always comes back around.
Be embarrased that Kelly’s been in the game almost twenty years and has never had a number one.
Be embarrased that her numbers don’t even come to 1 million in her own country.
Be embarrassed “high school”/”freedom” is not even certified double trash bag yet.
10 k more than Ciara how sad for the z squad!!!!!!
You can’t come for Ciara because she tried her best.
B**** yes we can and obviously her best wasn’t good enough
lmao. so rude but so true
Its really sad a new comer can outsell someone who’s been in the game 10 years!!
Well Ciara not the only one kmichelle did better than…Kelly and Brandy did lower numbers too, so
speak on all or Nothing!!!!!!
No, Kelly Rowland also sold 68,000 first week with Talk A Good Game – her lowest first week sales.
Simply Deep: 77,000
Ms. Kelly: 86,000
Here I Am: 77,000
Talk a Good Game: 68,000
No boo she never outsold kelly
I already see one Kelly fan being rude and I can’t deal. NOT when Kelly’s never had a successful era.
There is nothing rude about my comment boo. Stay mad.
Lmao that’s funny, kelly not being successful. Go look Kelly’s net worth then say if that’s not successful. Unless u more successful than that don’t write anything
Lmao everyone dragging Ciflop. I dont feel bad her stans are always trying it.
She had no hits only a reality and still sold more than that ri’s opening act.
This is bout to be a Ciara dragging fest yaaaaaaaas!!!!!!!!!!!!
who cares?? tamar gon outsell all yo faves. DEAL
Yes boo, we’re sure Vince has been saving up to make sure she does.
Tamar is a joke…… K. Michelle put in a lot of ground work with fans…… I’m wondering do she ever sleep….. Everyday she’s performing live with a band. Tamar, she can’t sing live….. she’s not a serious singer….. Yes Vince probably brought a lot of units to help her b***.
Ciara is off dragging limits because she didn’t do anything wrong this time. The others are fair game.
Brandy needs a tougher manager and Kelly needs some ambition.
Ciara did do something wrong she released an album no one cared about she promoted more than those you named & still sold the least of them all
But k.Michell will never sell 338k first week like Ciara did so yall need to stfu especially fans your fav is a non factor… K.michelle & Kelly will never have platinum albums
H** hush! Keep clinging to the past baby. The fact is Ciara is the biggest flop now shes even getting outsold by reality stars kiiii!
YOU talk about 8 years old decayed poop.
C-loser selling 338k was a fluke. She can never sell that many units again in this lifetime. R.I.P to Ciara’s singing career 2004-2013. It will not be missed “Ohh yeah yeah yeh”
Do I see Tamar and Kelly fans giving their opinions?
One of them buys her own singles and the other is lazy. Pick one.
What kind of accuracy?
That’s exactly wat that girl I. The article did buy tons of her own album lol
Oh my where is the zsquad??? Kiiiiii
M.I.A. when it comes to album sale post! Kiiiii
as Always, POSTS/REPORTS mentioning CIARA’s album sales, lack thereof, are the quietest in TGJ.
Go K michelle. All the promo Ciara did and she couldnt even do 60k. Just proved aint nobody checkin for ha no mo!
Ciara brandy k.michelle & Kelly are all flops none did 100k + like Keyshia & Alicia
girl keyshia was under 100,000 dumby. and Alicia is no longer rnb, so your point is invalid.
say what they want but she can sang!
Tamar is finna be nervous af.
K.Michelle did better than both Kelly and CIARA. I LMFAO.. Anyways the album is Great. I THINK IF MORE WHITE PEOPLE SEE HER, SHE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE NOBODY REALLY KNOWS K.MICHELLE OUTSIDE OF THE U.S OR LOVE AND HIP HOP ATLANTA.
Are you kidding?? Ms Reality star didnt have competition for one and her album did not leak! Her and Kelly sold the same amount with not even a 300 dollar difference! I say who the hell is fudging the numbers this is too much of a coincidence that sales are that damn close!
No, K. MICHELLE sold THE SAME as Kelly Rowland – who also opened with 68,000 units with Talk a Good Game.
Her highest first week sales came in 2007 with Ms. Kelly which opened with 86,000.
Its sad for Ciara because she had the most promo and flopped the hardest that just shows people really aint checking for her it no shade its true tea!
I think Tamar will do around 80 – 100 k tbh
Because her husband will buy 50,000.
ASTRO VAN WILL BUY THAT S***..
DEATH at her outselling certain people
Certain people = Ciara !
Well done I dont know too much about her but the Ciara fans bring this dragging on themselves tbh. I always see them at the top of Beyonce and Rihanna post talking so much s*** but never defending their fave where it is needed.
The way Trey’s 100k is set up though. Catch up girls.
BET AWARDS GOT OVER 7 MILLION VIEWS AND LOVE AND HIP HOP ATLANTA REUNION GOT 4 MILLION, CIARA IS MORE POPULAR THAN K.MICHELLE AND SHE OUTSOLD THE B**** WITH ONE PERFORMANCE ON THE REUNION..
F*** y’all talking about ? Brandy had a huge hit while k horse donkey face had a flop! Brandy sold 66k and this ghetto mess sold 68k wowwwwww such a huge difference!!! Stfu ppl y’all just love to hate! This album is a ghetto hot ass f****** MESS. FLOP!
🙂 STAY MAWD doe!
don’t let them get you mad…when our fav has sold more than kmichelle, ciara, and kelly in Japan alone, not to mention the US and every other country. we don’t need to get mad, we won last time around, human had a single (right here departed) was top 30 on hot 100 billboard, and PIDown was top 3 on rnb charts. we aight…
Oop! Ciara fans should be banished
More than C-Error! And VSOP was NOWHERE as big as Local Party in the states.
lol right poor ci error
Ciara doesn’t sell well because she cant sing point blank period people like r&b singers with powerful soulful voices like K.Michelle Keyshia Cole Alicia keys etc!
Don’t insult alicia and put her with those local h***, please.
10 more small copies & ya’ll on here acting like she drastically sold more than Ciara.This is all you care about is some artist you don’t care about record sales How sad btw being that she’s on vh1 most popular show I would’ve thought she’d do more than that.
Selling 10,000 more copies is actually a semi big difference
Loool she still outsold sold Cedric though!! By 10k!!!! The 57kSquad are in hiding right now, a la bin laden!!
Keyshia Cole – 96K
Fantasia – 91K
K. Michelle – 68k
Kelly Rowland – 68K
Brandy – 65K
Ciara – 59K
SNATCHED! the One They Hate The Most Sole The Most.
*Sold
HAHAHA! Poor dat Ciara fans!
LOOOOOL AT A NEW COMER OUTSELLING CIARA , WHERE C SQUAD , YOU ALL HIDING OR SOMETHING???
y’all are so dumb, gimmie a call in 1 month, im sure the next 3 weeks this bytch will sell only 3 more copies while ciara is slayiin ur faves n ur lives..

Ciara didn’t sell because her music is dumb. Point blank period. Even Rihanna has better music than her. Keyshia, Fantasia, Brandy and K Michelle make real R&B music.
so sof , ma skin
so sof, ma bootay
so sof, ma bed
……………………….
😆
the album is cool though, her stans are the main problem, she’s dope, but she need a new loyal all-new, new, nouveau fanbase.
You think ciara really gon sell cds with wack singles like im out?
Right these b****** be acting like this michelle outsold her by a lot oh wow its pretty much about the same. Lol anyhow ciara all day and it was a damn great album. Ciara all the way and body party keep reigning
10 k is a lot when the whole sum of her first week sale was 57k
K’s first week sales was 72,000! after second week it is now 95,000!…… do your reasearch. K did that!
so this local replicating-the-LOUD-ERA h** outsold CIARA ?
oh, now the ciara small fanbase will be pain the ass for other fanbases of MORE successful artists.
I provide Antidepressants for free to them though, and a special offer if they were there for her since 2005.
LOve your pic. Miss Rihanna dark era.
She came thru and yall are mad….
I’m not understanding the Kelly drag since the sold the same.
Congrats to K-Mich, but on the real, she’s on a hit show and she went on a decent promo tour – Wendy Williams, 106th & Park, etc. I expected her to post decent numbers.
Wait a minutE ….. NOT a random, underground black R&B singer OWNING the shITE outta C-Error AT ALBUM SALES!!!!!!!!!
C- ERROR ……. WHAT a useless BUM!!!!!!!!!
B*tch
All you H*** can STFU!!!!!!!
Ciara di’d her best and did the damn thaaaaaaang

I see 68000 people just got there “officially ratchet” cards. Dealin wit her over ciara is like buyin a boost mobile phne over a Verizon..lol please stop hatin on ciara..
Lol child body party isn’t GOLD yet..have a seat
That video had me rotfl!
This proves Ciara is such a FLOPPPPP though.
A sad f****** day for Ciara getting outsold by reality show b******.
This is a sad day for any C-squad member at any level…..D*mn. K.Michelle, you still a flop hun, so you can be #2 all you want, 66,000 still ain’t cute when millions were watching LAHH… It will be off the charts in a month, tops….
What is f***** sad is you’all broke fat ass b****** are hating on Ciara regarding her album sales.
She still looking flawless and got her cake up…
What do you all ugly hating h*** have? A XXL KFC cube beside your clunky slow pc while you spread hate?
PHUCK OFF!
She stay loyal to R&B sound, she is selling singles and charting again, she may not selling million albums but she did better this time around, and you know what?
She is happy! So hate all you want that doesnt change the fact you have a sad life and wish you were her.
B******, byeee!
That train-wrek cover tho ….
this is crazy that people r on here arguing about peoples music. They all have talent and there all good people. Black people need to support other black people. My mom always told my sister’s that black woman give other black woman a hard time. Let’s support all are black woman who are famous n stop trying to break them down. Ciara, Kmichelle, brandy, kelly rowland and other names that were said are all good singers.
Oh hush with that sh*t. Not every white person supports Katy Perry, Britney Spears etc. so not every “black” person needs to support this ghetto trash. K Michelle made herself look like a ghetto fool on that ratchet show for two seasons, now she got an album out and she’s a “different” person.. oh ok, when you need the public to care is when you want to change. Didn’t she physically and verbally was abuse every cast member and their mama on tv?? yeah i’ll pass on this hood rat….
I don’t look at how she was acting on the show but all peoples makes mistakes and have the right to be forgiven it doesn’t matter at all. She has a talent and her personality shouldn’t reflected on her music career at all. I feel that everyone has a ghetto side to them and everyone makes a fool out of themselves at one point in time in there life. So no one has the right to judge them not me and u or the next person. She is a very great singer and her attitude may suck or she maybe even a hood rat but tell me one person that isn’t ….. come on n be supportive.
let’s agree to disgree about K michelle cuz there is no reason to be on a blog site going back and forth about someone we both don’t even know or each other for that matter lol ….. we both r going to have different view on her
First, personality is very important when it comes to any artist’s music. Why would you support someone who’s an abusive and evil acting b*tch in real life? Why would you fill their pockets with your coins for some ratchet song(s) majority of America disregard as trash anyway? And yeah everyone makes mistakes, but its one thing to make them and feel remorse, its another to CONTINUE to make your so called “mistakes,” glorify it in interviews by saying “I ain’t no punk b*tch, I’ll cut a ho,” AND get paid for it. No, she will never get my coins and I hope people with sense don’t either. I will not help this ratchet horse get rich off being a crazy ass turn wanna be superstar, we have enough of those already (Keyshia Cole). I commend you for “trying” to see the good in this girl but that facade doesn’t phase me…
u and me r too different people… I respect your opinon too n hope that u will do mine as well. thank you and bless u
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!! OMG! The 57kSquad are officially bottom of the food chain and I really can’t deal! Seriously I can’t!!!! *tears*
Yes people will hate on Ciara thanks to her idiotic fans! You can thank the likes of CiCi Slayyys and all the other CiCi accounts that are a f****** mess on singers who actually have a successful career! But where are the trolls now!?
K Michelle actually sold 72k according to Chart News.
Kelly cannot and Brandy either….these people are silly stating Brandy is better singer than Tamar….get it together boo boo’s
….Brandy “horse teeth” cannot out sing Tamar on her worse day..Brandy only sold those albums cuz it was “back in the day” you know back in the day when R & B still exist….Tamar wins all day over everyone mentioned in this article…Brandy is
U-G-L-Y….she is a weak actress (hence her only booking “the game” )…cannot sing…just give up boo…and Kmichelle, lawd help her soul….she is ghetto fabulous making those wack tracks that only appeal to chicks who don’t have a man/never had a man or always the other woman….that is team racheeeeeeeeet right there….#staylosing
