Miley Cyrus Outpaces Jay Z, Rihanna, Kanye
No surprise here: “Run This Town” is simply awful — even with Superstar Rihanna’s supporting vocals.
When three artists who have all had 10 or more top 10 hit singles and are arguably all at the top of their game collaborate for a high profile single, you might think it would be the biggest new release of the week. However, when you go up against the hottest teen artist with a little bit of the wind of controversy at her back, then you’ll just have to sit in the back seat and watch. That’s the story behind the first week sales battle between “Run This Town” by Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West and Miley Cyrus’ latest “Party In the USA.”
The hottest new song in the country is Miley Cyrus’ latest “Party in the USA” [with] an expected 200,000 copies sold.
“Run This Town” is the second single from Jay-Z’s upcoming album The Blueprint 3. Billboard estimates the song will sell a total of 150-170,000 copies in its first week… Not shabby at all, but not good enough to be the hottest new single around.

It should have read:
No surprise here: “Run This Town” is simply awful — even with street-walker Rihanna’s screeching lack of vocals.

Lmao @ Mizz
Welp, Michael Jackson made 9 million dollars since his passing.
I don’t like this song. Hope the album is better.
I don’t like the song. Dont’ think its hot. Its okay…just okay.
And I won’t be buying the album. I’m sick of jayz’s ego. The song is about jay-z ego.
i still haven’t heard the song so i can’t comment.
@starr
the only jay-z cds I bought where these 2 : Reasonable Doubt & Hard-Knock Life vol 2

@ 7
*sigh* let me leave because you just said everything I was thinking but didn’t want to say. Even typed it out and deleted it.
The problem with the song is Rihanna and J, Kanye does a awesome job. Rihanna’s ear breaking singing is just awful and j sounding like some, some, some; I really dont know. Jay got to ****y on this one and the message people are sening is well deserved…He honestly, truly believed this song was going to come out plat for him because of having Rihanna on it with all the mess she was in. One thing you can not do no matter what has happen in your life and this is mask no talent and that’s the case with Rihanna. Look at her all you want but to listen to her is another story.. Now he is rushing to bring out the video and show snippets of the 2009 version of California!
