All too often, the notion of a “comeback” is thrown around with little care and even less legitimacy. However, in Ciara‘s case, it’s ringing true in more ways than one.

The Urban stage blazer has seen her new self-titled album rocket on the iTunes tally upon release this morning – presently sitting at #2.

Continuing a week worth of all-out promo, the 27-year-old stopped by Good Morning America this AM to perform the project’s hot new single ‘I’m Out’.

Backed by her army of female dancers, Ms. Harris rocked the house like only she can. Indeed, not only is she booking stages, she’s leaving her footprint on them too.

Yesterday, fans of ‘The Final Goodbye’ singer rejoiced in the news that Rihanna‘s ‘Stay’ had become the highest selling ballad by a black female artist, in the US.

Retweeting a fan who shared this information with fans, the performer came under heavy praise from her supporters for nabbing the record, and ultimately snatching it from Beyonce and her heartfelt jam, ‘Halo‘.

Unfortunately, much like the second #1 album she’s yet to score, it emerged that the so called record did not exist- with records by Whitney Houston, Beyonce and Tracy Chapman trumping sales scored by ‘Stay’.

Now peep what Rihanna’s peeps over at Roc Nation have to say on the matter, below!
