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 after the jump!
Leading the party this time around is Janet Jackson, the Pop icon with over 140 million records sold worldwide!
Perhaps as a direct result from her long-running chart absence, Jackson‘s ‘VEVO’ presence paints a picture far removed from the reality of her impact, with the last five years seeing her ‘Rhythm Nation’ visual score 4.6 million views.
Meanwhile, after crossing the 2.5million streams mark in January 2014, her Peter Smillie directed for 1990’s ‘Escapade’ finds a friend in the 2,711,421 million mark, while EMI’s upload of her ‘All Nite’ video dances its way to 2,413,027 million streams scored, pushed by its parent album’ Damita Jo‘.
Cruising towards a lane currently occupied by Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran is Elijah Blake!
Now tasked with the challenge of turning his streaming water into iTunes wine, Blake recently saw global streams of debut LP ‘Bijoux 22′ make silent steps towards the 15 million mark.
Today, eight months after its unleashing, the singer’s ‘Towers of Tokyo’ leapt to higher ground to land at 22,505 views on his official ‘YouTube’ channel and a commendable 43,127 plays on ‘SoundCloud.’
This, failing to hold a light to the 11.2 million times his ‘Vendetta‘ has been spun since its release, but stands closer to the 3.6 million plays secured by slow jam ‘Vicky’s Secret’, the reported inspiration behind Ciara‘s ‘DUI’, which he penned for the singer’s self-titled studio effort.
Come June 9th, exactly one month would have passed since Nicki Minaj unlocked her latest music video for single ‘Pills N Potions.’
Since then, a steady flow of promo has brought its ‘VEVO’ viewing figure to to 22,523,692, watched for a total of 121 years, shared 46,842 times and driving 17,109 subscriptions to ‘NickiMinajAtVEVO’ in the last four weeks.
On higher ground, despite the lack of effort employed to push the release, Minaj‘s Cassie-backed ‘The Boys’ shimmies and shakes its way to 73.1 million’VEVO’ spins, as the fiery ‘Lookin’ Ass’ body slams the rapper’s competition with 13.6 million streams garnered on the same outlet.
No doubt hoping his new LP will fare just as well as 2004’s ‘Confessions’ is Usher, gliding back to Pop’s centre stage on the wings of new single ‘Good Kisser.’
Co-written by Warren Felder and the ‘Climax’ singer himself, ‘Kisser’ breaks up with the 9 million ‘VEVO’ streams mark and hops into bed with 10 million, locking lips with the figure and seducing 939,332 new viewers within the last three weeks, bringing it to a grand total of 10,939,332!
Meanwhile, ‘YouTube‘ user ‘Jaibrayon‘s sees his uploading of the singer’s tribute to Destiny’s Child at the 2005 ‘World Music Awards’ crosses the 1 million border to party at the 1.6 million mark, while ‘Halleluiahtimes‘ uploading of his smash hit single ‘Yeah’ enjoys 27.4 million spins since it was uploaded on May 5th 2009.
So, let us know…

And yes to STDS?
Elijah’s a lame n1gga and he still ain’t makin no noise 😀
Look at this bitter b****! Perched here all day because David is paying your fave DUST. Even if Elijah isn’t popping homeboy can sing his ass off. Can you say the same about Tinotshit?
Oh my gosh, this h** is still here?
@Cicigavemesyphilis & @ICantChartBlake both of y’all need to quit it lmao Elijah can get his promos on here becuz TGJ has a gaycrush on him that’s why and honestly, the Queen, that is the new rising R&B Queen Tinashe is only proving that she doesn’t need a TGJ to aid her career. Did Elijah even get to attend the BET Awards 2014 Pre Show? No. Has he even got on 106 & Park for an Interview/Performance? No. With all this promo from TGJ has he achieved a Billboard charting single yet? No. Has he got ALL radio even Ryan Seacrest to endorse his music like Queen Tinashe? No. Who has more fans? Tinashe! Now that’s a damn shame! Hit the bricks with yo weak a** fave. Y’all should be lucky I’m associating his name with the Queen right now. Chuh….. 😀
Good for all of them and TGJ is right, Elijah does need to make sure he sells 2bh.
I’ll just leave this here.

She has to be joking if she thought she did a good job.
Omg what that hell was that?
Thanks for taking your time to do some research on The QUEEN, Tinashe! You are loved! Thanks for supporting and adding on some decent views especially views Elijah’s first single couldn’t reach in under a month on Youtube! 😀
And if you’re expecting to give you vocals, especially when she’s dancing on an uptempo song like “2 On” then you really are a “Lame n1gga and ain’t makin’ no noise.” Since you’re a devoted fan check out her performance on the BET Awards Pre Show!!!!!
The Power of Tinashe is STRONG! She got VIEWS! hehehe!
Congrats to Elijah but tell me something TGJ, do you still think PNP is going to number one or have you finally accepted that Clownraj’s career is over.
Those album sales though.
is it me or lately Jason Derulo >>>>>>> Fistopher?
.
today’s male singers can’t sing or entertain anyway, just bunch of soft p*** videos all the time
.
Jojo , Sisqo, Joe, Seal, Anthony Hamilton, Enrique, R.Kelly, Shane Filan, Mark Feehily >>>>>> all todays non singing street dancing booty touching male-queens (lil wayne n other lessor rappers included)
I agree with you sis.
elija Box Flop aint happeing , Sam
What’s your problem b****! Can he or can he not sing?
I haven’t listened to any of hus struggles, ill answer you once I do
Ok sis, be fair. You’re dragging him without listening to any one of his songs?
@Elijah’sBijoux he can sing alright but can he sell? That’s the real question. People ain’t investing into his music that’s why he’s coming out with an EP. Tinashe has “Artist Awareness” locked!
I could care less about streaming. I need some new Janet music, stat! At least, a b-sides album with a couple of new songs! #Janet #MYM
Streaming is the only reason Beyonce got to number 2 boo boo.
That’s true. Still don’t care one way or the other. It will help Rih’s new music too, like it has Ciara, Bey and others.
him and those 3 irrelevant ghetto stans of his
usher is good but hes the 2010s flop statistic adder, just like Fistopher, lil wayne, trey songz, Busta and many other flop lessors
Elijah is lowkey slaying on the low but he needs to come harder with the promo.
streaming , a field flopga and flopbieber once dominated
.
their fall from grace was very painful, next is Rihanna
Keep dreaming b****.
you stan for a has-been flop
.
2010-2012 career
.
how much did his last compilation flop sell?
Ciara and Jason Derulo has thee most entertaining videos of this decade
Thank you dear. You’re still a hating ass b**** though.
your irrelevant opinion bout me isn’t needed you can keep it
.
lest I scalp your kfc floor mopping daily job having ass of yours
LMMFAOOO AT CAREER ENDER LOL!!!!
5hat was a read from HELL!!
How sorry I feel for this Beyonce stan on here? Aren’t you sad that she hasn’t had a number one since 2008?
Looooool! Drag ha.
Has Love and War gone Gold yet?
Death at brandnustar (get popcorn)
question to the nazi
.
unlike Queen Bey, Ciara abd Gaga their songs have different choreographies, people can switch up when different songs are played
.

I see the Somalian food aid ambassador is here —-> Austin Dumasi
career ender have you no d*** to suck?
jayz’s old lying h** is overrated, queen Jenny should come back, am tired of this illuminati girl
Aw, Pills N Plastic won’t even catch up to Fancy’s views even with all of that radio payola and promo.
And no shade, but I know absolute nobodies with more than 43K listens on Soundcloud.
It’s SLAYING west coasts views kii
And Lana has been slaying her on every other streaming service.
Nicki will struggle to do Rick Ross numbers first week.
Ooop.
Did Lana even do rick Ross numbers?
Yes she did. Have a nice day.
3k more tho? You dragged your fav with that.
I can’t tell you how much I miss Janet! The longing for her return is so real. It’s like going without seeing one of your favorite family members for years! This is what Janet does though! If your a fan, you will wait! End of. Janet moves when she’s ready! … and you won’t believe your eyes when she does come back, it’s like she’s a myth or something! I don’t pay her vevo numbers any mind. Some folks really had it in for Janet, a lot of her videos have been removed. Then the count restarts once her visuals appear again. Feedback was at 10 million, now it’s 7 – something! Nobody got time for that! It doesn’t matter, Jackson’s don’t go away! Damita will come back with a vengeance this time! I’m sure she’s ready to kill it too! I like the take-no-prisoners/don’t-crack-a-smile Janet! I bet Queen Janet is still hungry!
I just want the new Janet album. That is all.
uhm we all know what will happen
.
the word is : FLOP!
slayriah prolly unblocking Toronto slums’ municipal sewages. that’s why she aint here very often
cake like lady gaga prolly still struggling to sell-out May’s stock somewhere in a dusty conner in Khayelitsha
rihicon’s system prolly still fighting to pick up
.
oh well *donates more soup for him*
rodriguez prolly in a dark street somewhere waiting to sell a 16 year old crack addict some drugs
