Still “Local”? Rita Ora Rocks US Charts With ‘I Will Never Let You Down’

Published: Sunday 22nd Jun 2014 by David

Local.

After deciding not to launch her debut LP ‘Ora’ in the US in 2012, Rita Ora soon found herself tied to the world “local”, with some critics questioning her ability to impact markets outside of the UK.

Now, as commercial success evades the likes of Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez, Rita gives her detractors very little to work with her latest single ‘I Will Never Let You Down’, which is slowly but surely being welcomed by US audiences.

Why Camp Ora now have cause to ‘Party.

Details below…

In its eighth week on the chart, Rita has flown to #1 on the ‘Billboard Dance Club Play Songs’ tally, which lists the most popular songs being played in nightclubs across the country!

Indeed, as Beyonce’s ‘Beyonce’ crosses the 3.3 million units sold worldwide milestone and Mariah Carey‘s ‘The Elusive Chanteuse’ reaches the 155,000 sold globally mark, Rita tops the tally after ‘Down’ peaked at #40 on Billboard‘s ‘Pop Songs’ chart, well after the cut peaked at #1 in the United Kingdom!

And that’s not all.

For, while Lana Del Rey‘s ‘Brooklyn Baby’ bubbles under the ‘Hot 100’ at #1, Hurricane Rita stomps on her rivals’ feelings with zero damns to give in the UK, after ‘Down’ was awarded a silver certification for sales of over 200,000 units.

Not bad for a “flop”. Eh?

    ‘Billboard Dance Club Play Songs’??????

    GURL BYE!

  3. Proud-Arianator June 22, 2014

    US CHARTS??
    You mean bubbling under chart? Or most likely to come out on top with a hit chart?
    Or musician that has slept her way to the top but failed to light up her career charts?
    Y’all are trying too hard with this Rihanna wannabe nonentity

    • Rita Slays June 22, 2014

      Did you actually read the article? Ironic for an Ariana fan to call anyone a wannabe when the anorexic and nasal wh*re is a carbon copy of Mariah Carey. That nonentity has a platinum plaque for her album in her respected country. When is Yours Truly getting a platinum certification in the US? Anywhere? Even gold?

      • Proud-Arianator June 22, 2014

        @rita slays
        B*tch why you acting like Rita Whora is famous everywhere else besides her home town people know her as that h** that degraded herself by sleeping with a Kartrashian you wanna come after yours truly but “Ora” hasn’t been released in the states where the biggest market is because she knows that her cheap watered down version of rihanna ass is going to flop harder than all her redundant singles
        Bye b****!

    • Ritastan June 22, 2014

      Ariana is the definition of local and she can’t sing with her 12 year old boy body and whiney voice and she’s a s*** too who sniffs coke

  4. Stephy June 22, 2014

    All I see is FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP!
    .
    Except for Lana Del Botox & B*****!

    • Proud-Arianator June 22, 2014

      And Cowriah? : (

      • Stephy June 22, 2014

        Ho, her name is MA-RIAH!! Also, did I mention Mariah as an exception of the FLOPS I saw! NO! BYE!

  5. Rihyeezy June 22, 2014

    Still a local flop. Yes

  6. Mimi carey June 22, 2014

    Yes, very local. My grandmother could even top the Dance Charts 🙁

  7. Mother June 22, 2014

    The absolute reach! This is nothing to brag about. And only 200.000 sold in the uk?? That’s abysmal for a song that was supposedly heavily anticipated and reached number 1.

  8. ozzy June 22, 2014

    Desperate! Sam, you should be a comedian with your struggling ass to get this b**** relevant. Where is she on the Billboard Hot 100 though?? FLOP.

  9. JOHNVIDAL (Supernatural) June 22, 2014

    Is this article even serious??? Is the staff at TGJ trying to know which one of them can be more retarded? What is it? Mariah Carey has done it all so she could sell one copy and still slay, but even now, in 2014, I doubt Rita Ora can sell 58,000 copies first week in the USA. That´s if her album vgets released there at all. Dance Club Play Songs? How does that make her not a flop but Mariah Carey is??????? LMAO.

    • Ritastan June 22, 2014

      Shut the hell up mimi is a flop fail and a whale lol

  10. Mimi carey June 22, 2014

    The problem with Rita is she has no identity and she’s obviously f****** her way through the industry. As far as America and 98.999% of the world is concerned she is no more than a 2nd rate Rihanna.

  11. That MC C******* Juice June 22, 2014

    It’s hilarious. When other people top the dance charts TGJ doesn’t report it. Biased…

    • Ritastan June 22, 2014

      Mimi stans pressed lmao because she a has been

      • Ran Through June 22, 2014

        Better a has been than a NEVER been.

      • Ritastan June 22, 2014

        Where’s elusive on the charts f**

  12. Rita Slays June 22, 2014

    David better read these pressed+steamed+salty+bitter+no-life having f*gs on TGJ!!! I Will Never Let You Down debuted at #40 on pop radio last week and is #1 on the Hot Dance/Club play songs. She’s coming. With some solid promo, I Will Never Let You Down can easily be a top 10 hit. Sleeper hit or not, a hit is a hit. Deal with haters.

    • Ran Through June 22, 2014

      She’s number 1 on the Industry P**** Chart. Congrats !

      • Ritastan June 22, 2014

        This post is not about Riherpnna

      • Rita Slays June 22, 2014

        Not to mention that industry p*ssy drag is as stale as drunk music today.

    • ozzy June 22, 2014

      Top 10 hit?? LMAOOOO try getting your flop in the Itunes top 200 first.
      #babysteps

      • Rita Slays June 22, 2014

        Top 40 on pop radio though. Continue to seethe and bask in hatred.

  13. Stephy June 22, 2014

    Mariah Carey: Sold 150,000K worldwide so far! Let push for 200,000K LAMBS!

    • Ritastan June 22, 2014

    • Proud-Arianator June 22, 2014

  15. Ritastan June 22, 2014

    Yall seen how mimi tried to pass than 1997 picture as recent lmao

    • Proud-Arianator June 22, 2014

      I saw that was rather tragic just like her recent album sales

  16. The Great Lacefronce. June 22, 2014

    Lol @ this irrelevant chart

  17. Cici’s goodies June 22, 2014

    RIHta Ora won’t make it in America ever 🙁
    She may get a hit with Iggy but solo wise I don’t see it for her 🙁

    • Ritastan June 22, 2014

      A f****** Ciara stan really??? When was her last platinum album? Rita was 2012 🙂

      • Timago June 22, 2014

      • Ritastan June 22, 2014

        And what r u ugly? A fat pathetic f** with no life perhaps???????

  18. Proud-Arianator June 22, 2014

    Rita Whora should just do what she is good at and that’s f****** producers for tracks she should try Pharrell or maybe Dr. Dre this time

  19. Timago June 22, 2014

    Rita Whora is an irrelevant p**** ho.

    Keep her in the U.K. We don’t want her here in The States.

  22. Stephy June 22, 2014

    Not a Rita ORALSEX & Ariana FLOPde fan talking about the BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST OF THE SOUNDSCAN ERA! BYE! HO”S

    • Ritastan June 22, 2014

      • Stephy June 22, 2014

    .

  25. RitaBonita June 22, 2014

    Queen!

    • Timago June 22, 2014

      Girl, if you’re calling Rita Whora a “Queen”, then you are seriously delusional.

  26. Licorice June 22, 2014

    Is she a low budget Beyoncé?

  27. Rosie June 22, 2014

    Not Dance Club Play Songs. That’s the chart for flop 2010 dancepop leftovers who can’t even go bubbling under.
    But wow, look at Lana! Brooklyn Baby was just a promo single in the US and it’ll probably fall off next week but she’s still on track to have the highest female opening of the year in the US. A true album artist.

  28. Rosie June 22, 2014

    Where’s the post about J-Ho debuting at #41 in the UK?

    • The truth hurts June 22, 2014

      Not lana outselling linkin park 2:1 after that band member pleaded with the fans to help them beat ultraviolence.

      • Rosie June 22, 2014

        Absolute death at them getting ready to have their lowest first week to date in the US. They deserve it, they haven’t been decent since Hybrid Theory.

    • JOHNVIDAL (Supernatural) June 22, 2014

      What? REALLY??? How can they treat Mariah Carey the way they do but not report about the bigger flop that JLo is having (for the 4th time, not just the first) everywhere?

  29. Dossome June 22, 2014

    Oh lord,David is obviously a troll…Mariah’s last single You’re Mine topped the same irrelevant dance chart you bragging about now.I swear this man gets fisted as form of salary for the rubbish he posts as articles.

  30. MC!!! June 22, 2014

    But didn’t praise you’re mine or triumphant for being #1 on that chart…

  31. rihanna is BIGGER THN BEYONCE EVER WAS June 22, 2014

    Rita whora is known as dirty Thot and rihanna wannabe. Especially over here in the USA. That is not a good way to launch your career. People now believe RoB was telling the truth. Her sleeping with Beiber and Khalil has made her even more pitiful.

    3 months ago, Rita released I will never……..they promoted it and sent it to pop radio via payola……3 months later……it has still yet to chart on Hot 100.

    It is over for her!

  32. Dossome June 22, 2014

    So This Calvin Harris’ mistress finally topped some dance chart now her stans wanna come for artists who actually know how the top ten of the hot 100 look like…oh ok

    • coolness June 22, 2014

      Death, lmao.

    • MC!! June 23, 2014

      Mistress?! #imdead

  33. rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk June 22, 2014

    Rih and Chris from Coldplay just left the studio last night. Rih also shot the cover for Hapers Bazar for next month.

  34. Timago June 22, 2014

    Rita Whora is a PUS*Y HO!!!!!!!!!

  35. There once was a pimp and his h**…. June 22, 2014

    Absolute death at this post! The TGJ are clearly bothered by people calling out Whora’a flopage.

  36. rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk June 22, 2014

    Rihanna R8

    Dj mustard
    Darkschild
    Jahlil beats
    Duet with Coldplay
    Recorded Kieza song
    recorded with Dj snake
    worked with SIA
    Stargate
    Emelie sande

    This album is gonna cancel out beyonce legacy. No way can beyonce top R8

  37. rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk June 22, 2014

    BEYONCE is old and her recent PR stunts have left a bad taste in the GP mouth. Plus, IMO her beyonce LP ended being a front loaded flop. There is no way she can survive this rih rih massacre now.

  38. Born Sinner June 22, 2014

    David must read the comment section and sees that everyone drags her. LMAO, Rita is a FLOP deal with it Fàg. This girl is obviously sucking the right díck to be getting all this payola. She is a joke. Jump off a bridge and swim back when Rita is actually a threat too any US female artist! In the UK, she couldn’t even outsell cheryl cole and emeli sande, etc.

    Rita Whora needs to close them legs and just focus on her music. She’s more like a social prostitute than an artist, I mean she goes out to parties, meets any A-listers and f**** people so she could upgrade her status. Poor that..

    • sleazy June 22, 2014

      And jcole is outselling everyone hey

  39. Jasmine June 22, 2014

    Is the best Rita Whora can do on the charts? TRAGIC!

  40. Ugh June 22, 2014

    Rita Whora has to pay the blogs to report on her, how pathetic. LOL

  41. Junior in Jamaica June 22, 2014

    Love that Acoustic version and her back up singer was ON POINT!

  42. RihIcon June 22, 2014

    HOW DARE THIS B**** EVEN COME FOR LANA! ATLRASTSHE HAD A TOP TEN SINGLE! WHATDID RITA HAVE? “Dance club play songs”? Byeeeeeer

    • RihIcon June 22, 2014

      *atleast she

  43. Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez June 22, 2014

    I didn’t read past “Local”, I figure that’s all I need to know about her. Everything else is irrelevant.

  44. RihIcon June 22, 2014

    Once r8 comes out no one will even remember her

    • Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez June 22, 2014

      Sis, they’ve never known her to begin with, who will remember a flop who can’t even chart on the 100? She’s begging Iggy to release Black Widow as the next single so she could chart using Iggy. Smh the social prostitute is probably going to f*** some big rap star like Jay Z or Kanye for the big push and recognition in the us

      • RihIcon June 22, 2014

        Black widow is her last hope tbh. But I don’t see it for that dark horse wanna be

  45. CherylSoldierr June 22, 2014

    But I’ve only seen one thing that clings to the local drag on this site. Rita has 4 uk number ones and a number one album. She’s anything but a flop

    • RihIcon June 22, 2014

      She’s a flop in the US, the market she’s trying to break and failing.

      • CherylSoldierr June 22, 2014

        Something is wrong with her team or something. She makes music that will stay the uk but flop in the us.

  46. metzo June 22, 2014

    Woww. Soo much hatred towards this girl 0_0. Shes talented.
    Im not even a big fan of hers but R u guys serious with all this negativity?? Just WOW.

    • Timago June 22, 2014

      You a HO.

  47. Hell June 22, 2014

    LOL, Alexis Jordan went number 1 on the same dance club chart and still flopped! Is this supposed to be an accomplishment for Whora?

    • Sabrina June 22, 2014

      What happened to Alexis Jordan?

  48. Teacher June 22, 2014

    Yep. Still local!

  49. Teacher June 22, 2014

    I just can’t at y’all celebrating this! Hell I think even Rockstar 101 topped that chart and that AMAZING SONG was a flop! BYE

  50. SexlijahBlake June 22, 2014

    She looks cute in that pic, I’ll give her that.

  51. Truth tea June 22, 2014

    2 years of overexposure and being shoved down our throats and that’s it?

  52. Timago June 22, 2014

    Rita WHORA is NOTHING in The States.

    It will remain that way.

    She is a Pus$y ho.

  53. Lily June 23, 2014

    Thank God TGJ know she’s Local and a Flop. I have said it before and I will sy it again I will never let you down is down in the Atlantic Ocean and is not coming up. That Rita Whora that replied to everybody’s posts and still says ppl are a No life, what does that makes u that comments in everybody post~ a Whora No Life b****. That Ariana fan need to shut his/her mouth and stop posting sh*t and coming for Legends. We will see if Ariana will survive 10-20 years from now in this industry.
