Beyonce and Lady GaGa tumble down the Hot 100

Things just keep going from bad to worse for Beyonce. After her new single “Run the World (Girls)” initially entered the Hot 100 with a disappointing thud at #33, the song has now tumbled in its second week, sliding down to a disappointing #48. Bey’s second week slump is a result of a decline in digital sales (“Girls” is down 38%) and a poor reception at radio.

And if the current iTunes position of “Girls” is anything to go by, week three isn’t going to be any better for the noisy tune — “Girls” is currently sitting #88, and has been on a constant free-fall since peaking right after its initial release. I guess hiring Francis Lawrence for a huge 3 day music video shoot is probably starting to look like a bit of a waste of money now, right?

Meanwhile, Bey’s old Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland seems to be having much more luck on the charts: Her latest single “Motivation” climbs 54-43, surpassing Bey’s big bomb with ease.

Being outcharted by K-Row is just another blow for Bey in what has been an awful week for her. The booty shaker made headlines everywhere from the L.A. Times and Yahoo to ABC News after she was booed on the red carpet at the Met Gala for refusing to stop for press interviews, and only pausing briefly to pose for photos. She was also mocked by fashion critics for her skin tight outfit, which landed her on Entertainment Weekly’s worst dressed list.

Bey’s former collaborator Lady GaGa isn’t faring too well on the charts this week, either; Her new single “Judas” drops 12-20 in it’s third week on the Hot 100. The slide is attributed to a sharp drop in digital sales, which saw a large decrease of 48%. Meanwhile, her first single “Born this Way” continues to perform much better, sitting at #16 — four spots higher than “Judas”.

GaGa is set to drop the much-hyped “Judas” music video today (or tomorrow, depending on where you live), so perhaps the video will give the song a boost on the charts.

In other chart news, Katy Perry remains at #1 AGAIN with “E.T.”, which sells another 300k to clock in a fifth week at the top. Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” stays put at #2, while Britney Spears zooms into #3 with “Till the World Ends”, thanks the official ‘Femme Fatale Remix’ featuring Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha.

    I got 3 likes get over it. Im not the only one who feels that way. and I didn’t say she couldn’t sing. I said her voice itself, as in the sound of her voice isn’t strong like theirs. Did you even read my comment?

  • Jaface

    so she cant sing or dance?? brtiney is the definition of smoe and mirrors .. she cant sing (never really could) and dances lie she just had a stroke .. u can give bey a mic and a piano and she SLAYS (ive been to the tours) .. grammys is about talent whch is why britney only one for one of those bullshit categories the the directer of the video earned .. beyonce CAN sing and shell always have that these other bitches better soak up the cash and the spotlight before the well runs dry

  • Jaface

    who … lol

  • Jaface

    She has a nice strong voice unlike Beyonce who does all these annoying vocal acrabatics but her voice isn’t strong like J huds. yea i did

  • thurts

    All of them. Beyonce dances like Shrek. I’d prefer her to not dance at all. and her monkey faces kill me. Com on!

    Britney Spears is doing good on the charts/radio because she has the “It” factor. No other artist could get away with lack of promotion like she does and still have two huge singles and a platinum album. Every generation just falls in love with her over and over, and she does not try to hype her stuff up to the extreme, she is just herself, a very down to earth southern girl.

    Bey and Gaga on the other hand try TO HARD to make it big. I mean pretty soon we are going to see them up on stage having a sex scene and calling it “original” or “art”. Not to mention the songs they are releasing are both dated and rip-off’s.

    Katy Perry is doing everything right! She has hit songs, does all the right promotion, and does not have a head bigger than Jupiter itself.

    Adele has natural VOCAL talent.. that is a refreshing thing to here these days.

    America can tell who is real and who wish’s they were.

  • Stan

    who madd?? my girl has talent for DAYSSSS its jus timed she showed these britneys and rihannas how to perform .. and i would love to hear the great performers out now?? who bring BOTH the vocals and dancing and stage presence

    Actually they media didn’t tear her dress the shreds. VOGUE said she was one of the best dressed. and AGAIN. BEYONCE HAS YET TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE SHE HAS A SINGLE OUT. Have your little fun posting these posts while you can because we all know once the video drops and promo starts its OVER. The same happened with Single Ladies! She was only booed bc she didn’t take pictures and for no other reason. And KELLY HAS A VIDEO BEHIND HER SONG. B4 THAT IT WAS DOING TERRIBLE.

    But again, you and these delusional followers you have will paint it any way you like in your deluded little minds. Just wait till her 1st live performance, i know yall are probably PRAYING she goes all Britney Spears and sits on her ass but just wait…ur gonna be sobbing ur eyes out honey.

  • thurts

    OK… now did you read my reply. We are making this a bigger deal then it really is. My opinion is that her voice isn’t as strong as theirs. Yours is the opposite. The videos you chose didn’t help your case though. I could’ve chosen better videos then those

    LOL! And that makes you proud? That just shows how weak minded they are. But its cute that you think your doing the world justice buy trying to get them to hate Beyonce. The TIMES Most Influential People poll clearly shows how well your work is be received by people above the age of 15. Keep up the excellent work. :-)

    Ok Jaface, I respect your opinion please leave me alone lol. I Know Britney can’t sing, and I know she can’t dance anymore after her knee injury. Beyonce slays her in singing but Britney definately used to slay her in dancing. by the way I never mentioned Britney spears, you did.

  • faithz

    @ prophet, i love your writing, very straight forward and you treat them (artist) the way you see them and that is a good thing , keep the good work up and thanks for the very latest hot off the press
    articles on each artist featured.

  • faithz

    i will always know that theres more than one are two good artists
    in the music industry but so many people believes that the sun only shine bright for a few and all the others needs to hang it up. when the
    latest is theres always some one newer and hotter than said artist that always tries their damnest to hogg the dam spotlight all the darn time. kelly rowland’s”motivation” is a bad butt song from her and she
    sounds so good on “motivation”.

  • Stan

    woaaah of course u have to throw out the greatest cuz none of these other btches can touch her hahaha donee

  • thurts

    MJ isn’t the only 1 who dances better moron try Janet, Ciara, Mya, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Chris Brown, Nichol Scherzinger, Jennifer Lopez, and pre injury Britney would whoop that ass. You’re misunderstanding my whole point. Maybe when i say “Beyonce can’t dance” it’s misrepresenting what I mean. Anyone who can learn an 8 count technically can dance. She’s not one of the greats.

    “girls” is such an abdomination fo a song. i’m kinda glad it’s flopping but didn’t single ladies start of really slow too and then after the video came out everyone was on it’s nuts? beyonce will probably bounce back with her second single. especially if it’s the frank ocean produced track, with all the hipsters on odd future’s ballsacks all the bandwagon bitches will hop on it. BUT if she flops with the second single again she could lose her clout as the “queen bee”. all i gotta say is she better have a standout singles saver like “irreplaceable” somewhere on that album.

    Can’t say shit about Gaga now. She’s back in the top ten with Judas. Born this Way is 13, and The Edge of Glory will probably be in the top 10 (if not number one). S&M is below both Judas and Born this Way as well. I know some of you guys’re mad :P
