Welcome to another edition of ‘The Stream Scene‘, the ‘That Grape Juice’ original feature shining a light on digital feats made by Pop & R&B’s biggest movers and shakers!
Launched in response to the inclusion of streaming points in many a chart across the globe, each edition will see us breakdown the facts and figures behind by each member of ‘The Scene’s release!
So, which four acts made it into ‘The Click Clique’ this time?
Find out below!
As global sales of her latest LP ‘Talk a Good Game’ creep towards the 250,000 units mark, Kelly Rowland fares far better on ‘VEVO‘ with the project’s supporting music videos.
For, 11 months into its run, her video for single ‘Dirty Laundry’ washes its hand of the 8 million views worldwide mark to find a friend in 9 million.
9,367,930 to be exact.
However, it stands as no match for its saucier pal ‘Kisses Down Low’ which plants a wet one on 19 million views, after scoring her 23,421 new subscriptions to her page on the outlet!
As if that wasn’t enough to put a smile on the Grammy winner’s face, she’ll no doubt pleased to learn that music lovers across the globe have spent a total of 109 years watching the visual!
This, calculated by adding the number of minutes that all of its viewers spent watching the clip.
So,just how many hours have Kelly’s supporters dedicated to supporting the visual?
955474.
Awesome!
As their ‘X Factor UK’ sibling Aston Merrygold eyes a Justin Timberlake-sized solo career, Rough Copy swing onto the ‘The Scene’ with their debut single, ‘Street Love.‘
Sampling Anita Baker‘s Powell-produced ‘Sweet Love’, ‘Street’s official video enjoys a slow but steady journey to impressive ground this week, reaching the 231,805 views mark since May 12th 2014.
Lifted from the ‘Epic‘-records backed debut LP, the single’s video has been watched for a total of 9,288 hours and been shared 598 times.
Though marking a modest start for the trio, the clip has welcomed 4,317 ‘likes’ since its unveiling, outweighing the 197 ‘dislikes’ its garnered, driving 972 new subscriptions to their official page as they gear up for the launch of its follow-up.
A follow-up, we hope does more more to showcase the group’s world class talent and commercial viability.
4,000 views away from the 60 million mark comes Beyonce‘s ‘Video Phone’, bumping and grinding to higher ground with the help of its remix collaborator Lady GaGa and director Hype Williams.
Released on November 17th 2009, the video marked the first two of collaborations between ‘Yonce and her ‘Telephone’ sister, who joined her in watching it cross the 40 million views barrier in the January of 2014 and arrive at 56,001,339 views by June’s end.
Elsewhere, 2008’s ‘Diva’ eyes US sales of 2 million units while its ‘VEVO‘ views twerk to the tune of 76.6 million, sticking one up at the 5o milestone in January and garnering 26.6 million fresh spins between then and now.
Last, but certainly not least comes TGJ favourite Keri Hilson!
Though making the mistake of waiting too long to deliver a new album, her existing material continues to make sizeable gains with each passing week!
Indeed, with 83,858 ‘likes’ to its name, Hilson’s ‘Lose Control‘ visual “shakes, whines and rolls” all over the 25 million views mark after being shared 92,477 times across the net.
Quite interestingly, though released as part of Warner Bros’ ‘Zweiohrküken’ and never scoring a US release in 2009, the singer’s ‘I Like’ has pulled in 4,736,341 ‘VEVO’ spins in 2014, bringing its combined total to 24,736,341, while the Kanye West-assisted piece ‘Knock You Down’ casts a digital shadow on all of the above with 103 million views nabbed since October 5th 2009!
So, let us know…
Just look at Keri! Brandy who? Kelly where? Tamar why?
Your fave is irrelevant boo boo which is why she hasn’t released an album since Obama’s first term in office.
Brandy and Kelly are flops but keep Tamar’s name out of ya pie hole sissy. Hate to have to drag YO ass back to Sesame Street.
Oh girl, you got me f***** up. You got me REALLY f***** up. If you’ll drag me to Sesame Street I’ll drag you AND Tamar to the farm so she can be with the rest of her friends.

Rough Copy aren’t doing well at all.
It’s a shame because they can sing but the song is a bit s***.
That’s your opinion. Slag.
Yeah, and I have the right to share it. C***.
Can you do one on Christina please?
Nobody gives a damn about Beyonce but yay for Keri.
Same way nobody gives a damn about Rihanna after her albums sells a million. Don’t you feel ASHAMED that UPL still hasn’t even sold 1.5 yet or have you gotten past the point of embarrassment. Let a b**** know.
Eat my p****.
DEATH @FENTY!!! LOLOL
Keri still makes music? Oh.
Monica still wishes she had Brandy’s career? Oh.
Keri still running from the Bey Hive?
Queen Keri is so much more talented than those DC prostitutes
You wanna talk about prostitutes?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUAl1H9_-G0
One song compared to the Dc prostitutes
B**** bye. This video is worse than anything Beyonce or anyone from DC has ever done. No wonder this trash ended her career for good.
Rosie u bandwagon h**
The DC prostitutes been selling Ass their entire careers, Keri has one video
Plus she’s a talented respected songwriter
Go listen to your faves depressing elevator music h**
“Depressing elevator music” like wow. I’ve never heard that drag before. Basic and tired just like Keri’s career.
Queen Keri been behind the scene for yrs getting her coins h**
😐 …queen keri???
OMG WHAT A WHOOORE!!!!
The struggle for Beyonce to get a new #1 is so real. Diva still hasn’t sold 2 milli after all these years just proves that she’s a flop.
Are we bragging about 231K views in two months now?
Did anyone call for a maid?
Nope.
I sure didn’t.
Why is llama’s album flopping???
First week – 181k copies
Second week – 44k copies
What’s the excuse now?
And it was still top 5 in its second week. I don’t see the drag? You f*** are so clueless about sales now.
So what pIggy’s album sold 52k and it was at the top 5. Just accept the fact that your fave is so 2012. I can’t wait for 3rd week.
Are you really comparing Ultraviolence to TNC. Not only are they very different but UV already outsold it worldwide by almost 3x in one week. The only site where UV is considered a “flop” is here and that other bottom f** forum. Stay deluded.
All of them are irrelevant excluding slutyonce. But that’s non of my business.
How would you feel if I told you that your mom was a Central Africa jungle w**** who rents out her p**** to lions,bears and motherfucking tigers?
I would feel sad tbh.
Llama is one flop struggling basic bxtch. It’s funny how her fans hate on flopga.
Ultraflop first week – 181k copies
Second week – 44k copies
The third week is gonna be a kiii
What’s the excuse now?
And who’s your fave? Unless it’s Beyonce or Rihanna you have no room to talk.
I want to know where this Bigbird Hilson stan gets off talking about the Queen? Know your place b****.
I want Rough Copy to win but that song is so f****** horrible.
Lana>>Keri.
Ok? And?
Is it because nobody is streaming Mariah? It’s ok, better luck next time.
Is Yours FLOPly gold yet?
Has Me.I Am Miss Piggy gone copper?
My Everything will outsell “Me. I Am Mooriah…” in 2-3 weeks tops.
Video Phone was my ish. The Telephone video was everything a collab should be. You’ve been a very bad girl Gaga… Hmm mmm Honey Bee. Lol. I can’t wait to see Kelly Rowland’s baby. I just know he is going to be so cute. Such a great space Kelly must be in with being a wife and a new Mother! Congratulations to everyone!
The acting in the Telephone video was horrendous so what are you talking about?
Girlfriend, the only role Adele could ever comes with a side order of butter.
Not a fat ass Adele stan trying it. Your fav is giving me rob kardashian tease.
^Thats not me.
UV has been getting horrible reviews tho Rosie in regards to Lana’s stance on feminism and what the album represents. It seems as if she hasn’t learned anything and is the same weak, alcoholic h**.
Ultraviolence has a 75 in Metacritic (and would actually be at around a 79/80 if that troll review from the 405 wasn’t counted). That’s a massive improvement from her first album. Most of the reviews actually praised her writing, many who gave negative reviews to UV (like Pitchfork) noted her improvement on that. Don’t know what reviews you’re looking at other than that 405 one from a “critic” who spews hate about her for no reason on Twitter on a regular basis or that pressed ass “feature” post from Tiny Mix Tapes (who hates everyone semi-known or signed to a major label).
*negative reviews to BTD. P4K actually liked Ultraviolence.
And I haven’t seen anywhere as many articles/posts/etc. dragging her for being “fake” or “pushing feminism back 50 years” or whatever as there was when Born To Die was first released. Most critics left that in 2012 like they were supposed to.
Death. It’s literally all over the internet. She’s worse than katy perry. Did she really say feminism bores her in an era when every other female artist is doing the opposite? Does this b**** want to remain on the bottom forever? She’s alienating a large part of her audience. Ed sheeran has already outsold her in one week. Death.
The only non flop is Beyoncé. Views don’t mean s***.
Beyonce Is a flop too though.
Born To Die – 5 million WW
4 – 3 million
Beyonce – 3.3 million
Gurl BYE! The only flop is Lana.
What’s the current sales of Ultraflop?
death @beyonce being outsold by a newcomer Lana del Rey. LOL
@Rihyeezy Um, that’s not me. I would never come for Bey like that. But OK.
the day that adele released 21, beyonce got crippled and has t come up with gimmick like releasing album secretly. shes scared thats why. she sold her videos for free each video cost $1.99 bu its free. That’s worst than selling 99Cents in amazon. lmfao!!!
21>4
21>DIL
21>Bday
21>I am sashing flop
21>beyonchet
game over!
I love all of the ladies Mentioned!
SMELLY FLOPLAND!!!!!!!!!!

Queen Adele is a force to reckoned with.
Keri Underwood, i mean Hilson? Beyonce? Kelly Clarkson. i me Rowland?

What is this irrelevant crap?
Trolls in this site, random Adele & Mimi stans spewing hate. I love Diva & Videophone my anthems lol
Go kelly Rowland ,Do your thing baby
I’ve been obsessed with the return of Sailor Moon Crystal these past few weeks and it looks like I haven’t missed much lol
A bit off-topic but have you guys heard Fifth Harmony’s song Bo$$? The full version’s premiered on their MTV Artist page. Check it out!
Go Kelly, love you to pieces.
Miss Keri Baby!! Keri needs to get that VEVO certification asap! Right in time for some new music to be released. I’m glad she’s waited till R&B and urban music in general has started to make a comeback. Beyonce’s album, Aloc’s The Man, John Legend’s All of Me, Jhene Aiko’s The Worst, Tinashe’s 2 On, John Legend’s album, etc. Urban music is starting to make waves on the charts again. Perfect time for Keri to plot a comeback.
Danity Kane ft Beyonce-Lemonade/Yonce Mash-up

List of female artist tragically destroyed by HURRICANE BEY:
Britney, janet, jlo, Cristina Agurilla, C-ERROR, Brandy, Monica, Aliyah, Mya, Ashanti, Lauren Hill, Letoya Lucket, Marry J blidge, Fantasia, & Jennifer Hudson, Mariah Carey, Shakira, Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Keri Hilson.
The world is not paying attention to just one female artist. Get Real. Janet, Mo, Bran, lauryn, mary and mariah will always BE top acts in this game. No matter what. And I hope you have the Diabetes under control, it is a completely manageable condition.
People are waiting for Keri, i see them begging her on her instagram for new music, i think her first two albums have finally marinated with the masses and they are ready to support the third album upon release is what it seems. Lose control’s streaming numbers are a surprise considering that it wasn’t really promoted when it was released. ‘I like’ was an international hit in Europe. Though she was been gone for a while, Keri is still one of the top r&b artists in the genre today, ahead of kelly & ciara.
