Solange's music sales increases by 230% after Jay Z elevator attack

You would think if you did something like this, fans and the general public will find a way to punish you - by like not buying your music or not attending your concerts. But that's not what's happening in Solange's case, instead she's experiencing an increase in music sales.

According to Nielsen Soundscan, the week after video footage leaked of Solange punching, kicking and spitting on her sister's husband, Jay Z, her digital music sales jumped 233%!

The week prior to the fight footage becoming public, Solange's music sales hovered around 600 downloads but the week after the video leak, it surged to over 2000. Now it's nearing 3000 downloads

You know what they say, no publicity is bad publicity. Look at Kim K for instance, she became an international superstar after a leaked sex video.

Solange music is better than beyonce's. Her song losing you is the best thing I have heard ever.

Yea dats ryt. Pple dat didnt knw her b4 wil knw her. .

try that in naija and see what happens

Unknown said...

It merely shows that ppl dnt like Jay nd Bey as much as they portray. Ppl only idolize them for now cos there's been no bad news abt them so far. When that happens, they ll see just how much ppl hate them dur to their perceived perfection

I knew it'll help her career.

Anonymous said...

I know say na trash wey she sing as usual. But trust Americans to hype the game bcos of dat singular action she took against Jay-Z. Bia, Linda what are you trying to promote by making reference to Kim's leaked see vid. Mind what you type here. I know it's a free world, I also believe you still have some moral. So keep it sane. Okay?

Maybe it was all a publicity stunt after all.

Linda why are you forever badmouthing Solange when you dont even know what happened?

Linda u lie!

Anonymous said...

Solange's career is worse off than I thought if a major sales increase for her is 2400 downloads. Pretty soft bump after the assault seen and discussed around the world. Bey must pay all her bills.

Unknown said...

Dear Linda, what are you saying in essence? A jusification of anything bad for fame and fortune perhaps. Is that what you mean? If you don't have talent(s) please don't go try a stunt in public. #my little advice#

Anonymous said...

Why is there a DOUBLE STANDARD ? If a man attacks a woman, he is the scum, if a woman does it, her music sells, IMO Jay0z had EVERY RIGHT to deck the stupidness out of Solange #ViolenceIsViolence

Unknown said...

Nothing should surprise anyone

veralu said...

Very nice solange, kip it up, though I only know one of ur songs, thank u very much, u are all welcome

Solange should settle the guys that leaked the CCTV footage fight with Jayz, from her video's sales

Wow 230% hmm it is very interesting n Linda the Kim k's sex video tape made me laugh the way u put it

Anonymous said...

Solange please stop beating jayz. We know you have power but please stop beating him like a small baby. Now jayz please stop looking for solange' trouble oo because the next time you look for her trouble, your bodyguard might not be their to save you ooo. My hand no dey oo, after now you will be forming gangsta, but look at the small solange that was just beating you anyhow. Gangsta for mouth.

Hmmmmn some are bad o cause no matter how popular u became the stigma will still be dere

Kim sex video wasn't leaked. It's deliberately revealed. Forget the lies they are telling you from the Hollywood

Linda, Pardon my Curiosity, but for God's Sake, what on Earth is "230 Percent (%)" again ?

Anonymous said...

Did u really have to mention Kim? It's not like Solange didn't have fans, a lot of people liked her music. A lot of soul music lovers loved her music. If u listen to Jill Scott's music, u'll understand Solange's too. Stop the hate, filthy minded people.

In other word,, we shud go kick somebody's butt or beta still make a sextape abi???????? Nd º​​U̶̲̥̅̊º 4got 2 mention beverly osu

This just goes 2 show that anything u hear from d media take with a pinch of salt.
This could just hv been publicity stunt.
Well rehearsed.
Why did bet just stand back?
Why didn't d body guard take extra effort 2 stop d fight.
A round of applause.
Una try

Leaked sex video indeed. That video was sold by kris jenner in conjunction with kim. So it aint a leaked video. Never make a whore a house-wife.

Its Kim k's life so peeps shld get off her back, mind yu, no one is perfect n by d way she's a lot better than so many Nigerian ladies who ar cheap whores, d tinz dey hv done in secret ar far worse than Kim k's..

Anonymous said...

Just shows U that jayZ has many silent enemies and queen bs fans who think jayz is sleeping around are the ones pushing solanges album sales. You dare not touch a woman in America, even if its your wifes sister dishing out the slaps, kicks and punches, u just have to stand and take it. If jayz had simply blocked or held her down,he would be in serious police trouble by now. Thank God we are in Africa, wey by now family people and elders go don tell beyonce and Solange to pack comot for jayZ house, dem go even ask them whether JayZ na d only man wey they fuck for outside.

riri said...

Aunty three times not four times...and yes a good name is better than all the riches and wealth but.....i can assure if dey tape the life of half of the girls on this site including Linda it would be worse than kim's...so let her be abeg.

@anonymous 8.40 Beyoncé pay solange's bills ke? Please research before you start sporting rubbish. Did you know that solange co wrote a lot of destinys child's hits and even some of Beyoncé own songs?
Yes Beyoncé's an amazing performer but it's all theatrics. Solange has more talent in her little finger than Beyoncé in her entire boy.

Anonymous said...

abeg abeg solange has always sang and as a lover of both sisters' music i can proudly say that her music is better than bey's music, she just doesnt have good promoters and record labels shes signed to.even her fashion sense better pass bey's own times 10

My dear,that wasn't the order in which it all happened. And what makes her a Ho? Having a healthy sex drive and being unlucky in love? You must be a virgin to have made ur comment if not,u are no different from Kim....congrats!

I hate it when people call Precious Kim whore, Nigerians and fake life ask your self in the mirro and in your private room what has Kim done I don't do as a girl. Is it relationship I bet u lots of girls on this blog has slept with more than 100 men it only takes a whore to recognise a whore @sexycutie or whatever u call your self. She's not a whore she's only a girl who was unfortunate to have a bad relationship a lot of people like sex vidoes to see how they act or respond to sex of better of watch them self in the mirro while having sex. Am a Nigerian and I have a sex vidoe buh is for my private use. So everyone is guilty of one single crime and some of us can't even boast of garri and sugar after their crime. Runz babes so watch your tongue

If kim deliberately sold d sex tape she wouldn't ve sued vivid. Y must pple hate get ur fact right dat is y we ve google. Moreover the first to make money from dat video was Ray j. He made 200k dollars n then kim sued vivid she later withdrew the case cos the deed has been done n then vivid paid her a 5million dollars. Check google for more. Till date vivid kept the name of the person dat sold the tape a secret.

@5:08, in defending Solo, you highlight yet another example of how Bey is always to her financial rescue. Who was DC's lead singer again? That's right, Beyonce. If Matt Knowles didn't cobble together writing credits for Solo on DC albums to pull residual checks from Beyonce's career, again no money.
