Kelly Rowland’s new single passes Beyonce’s on iTunes

If anybody needed anymore evidence that Beyonce’s new single “Run the World (Girls)” is a certified flop in the making, then this is it: Kelly Rowland’s latest tune “Motivation” featuring Lil’ Wayne has now passed the ‘Queen Bey’ on iTunes.

As of right now, “Motivation” is No. 41 on the iTunes top 100, while Beyonce’s “Girls” continues to steadily slide down the chart, sitting at No. 43 after only a week of release.

Both singles have shunned dance-pop in favor of urban beats, but it’s Kelly’s song that seems to be picking up the most. “Motivation” has turned into a surprise hit for the former Destiny’s Child backup singer, who previously hadn’t entered the Hot 100 since 2007′s “Like This”. “Motivation” is currently No. 54 on the Hot 100 after just two weeks, and it’s rising rapidly at urban radio, sitting at No. 10 on the Mediabase Urban Airplay Chart. With the song’s increasing success at radio and on iTunes, it shouldn’t be much longer until its climbs even higher on the Billboard charts.

Funnily enough, “Motivation” has an official remix out by Diplo, whose Major Lazer song “Pon De Floor” was used to create the instrumental to Beyonce’s “Girls”. Even funnier is the fact that Diplo isn’t listed as a producer or a songwriter on “Girls” despite actually producing the song, yet for some reason Beyonce managed to receive a credit for both.

Meanwhile, Bey has finally finished her little vacation in Paris and is now back in America, presumably to begin promoting her flop single. She may as well just hop back on the first plane to France because judging by the user reviews on iTunes, not even her fans are interested in anything to do with “Girls”.

    I doubt you’re a psychology major and on this blog as much as you are, and if you were any good at psychology you would see right through Beyonce. Sure buddy, we believe you…

    Actually I’m a psychology major and bio minor I’m studying to be a psychiatrist not psychologist at UMass amherst and I like music that’s why I go on music blogs .. as for psychology and seeing through beyonce umm I can’t even pretend that makes sense …

    I miss the days when I came to this blog to read your ecstatic posts about Britney, rather than your stupid hate on Beyonce. Somehow people make a bigger spectacle of watching artists fail than seeing them succeed. It seems like that’s all what this damned music industry is ever about nowadays. It’s about selling records, not making art. The irony is, music was at its highest selling point when it WAS all about art – sad truth!

  • iAmAwesome

    But bey is not even making art with this noise. The song i super bad and it’s reflecting in sales while people like Adele are succeeding right now. So Prophet’s “hate” is rightfully deserved.

  • Sherwin

    Judas was as much of a piece of noise and Proph gave it a 4 out of 5! When it comes to Beyoncé, Proph’s hate is not musical – it’s political. And it’s odd because if we were to go by politics alone, Gaga is an even bigger fraud than two Beyoncés put together.

    Let’s face it, issues like that ruin what’s really at the heart of this industry – music. It’s not that I don’t love today’s music, it’s just that I fail to see it as anything other than a big fat lie. Everyone from Gaga to Rihanna to Katy aren’t so much musicians as they are cash cows. I’m fine with Britney because she was the one that ushered in this era – the one that took over from Madonna, the pop pioneer of the 21st century. Even now, when her pesky handlers keep her from taking creative control of her own empire, she still and will always stand as a legitimate icon – because that’s what she is. She’s gorgeous, she’s has the it factor, and yes, she is talented.

    But like you pointed out, the first real ARTIST to emerge out of this generation is Adele. Sooner or later people gravitate to the music that’s real and pure, and Adele’s music and personality is the embodiment of that. There’s not a false bone in her body. She sold 4 million albums in 4 months – and she didn’t even have to take off her clothes to do it. The only thing I can hope for is that with her arrival, we begin a new era in music – however much of a long shot that may be. We need more artists like her.

    Get a life. The fact that you feel the need to reply to anyones comment that strikes your nerves suggests that you need help.

  • Thurts

    Motivation is the hotness–that song is pure sex. That pic of Beyonce is too funny I am glad she is finally getting hers–getting called out on her none existant songwriting and for coming out with poor singles–its gonna take more than pussy poppin’ to have longevity.

You stains are stupid because you’ll eat up shit if she told you it was a cheese burgers. Just demand better music from bee by not buying it that way she will deliver better music next time. If you don’t she’ll keep feeding you shit stains will eat anything she puts out but her fans wont. Hell
