Danielle Bregoli: My Single is Breaking Records!

Did you guys know that Danielle Bregoli is now the youngest artist of all time to chart on the Billboard Top 100?


If we have to live with that information, then so do you. Forever.


The Cash Me Ousside girl is responding to her the news of her career milestone, and … well, it’s very on-brand. We’ll say that.



That’s right.


Danielle Bregoli’s first single, “These Heaux” dropped, as we warned you.


That’s what viral fame will do.


Maybe that’s also what talent will do (I absolutely do not know as I cannot judge certain genres like rap or country or jazz or death metal because they’re just not my type of music at all).


One way or the other, her first-ever song is number 77 on the Billboard Top 100 and she’s only 14 years old.


That’s an accomplishment, no matter how she got there.


Are you guys ready to find out what Danielle Bregoli’s response to her song’s success is?



Danielle is apparently not surprised at all about her success, because here’s what she had to say:


“Damn right. I’m a rapper, b–ch.”


She said that in an Instagram video in which she spoke so quickly that she was difficult to understand.


Danielle actually did admit some initial insecurities over whether or not her song would be accepted or get roasted, but those seem past now that her first-ever single is breaking records.


Of course, it’s impossible to tell how many people are enjoying the song versus those listening for the curious novelty of it (or just plain hate-listening).


But still … success is success.



Of course, we all remember how Danielle Bregoli first achieved viral fame.


She went on Dr. Phil for her bad behavior.


When she was displeased with the audience, she angrily said: “Cash me ousside, howbow dah?”


Translated from her own special dialect to English, she was saying “Come and meet me outside (so that we may engage in fisticuffs), okay?”


That line went viral and, well, here we are today.


She has a habit of acting as if she doesn’t care what other people think of her.


It is, of course, an act.


She’s 14. She cares what people think, but she’s terrified to show that vulnerability because she thinks that she’s an adult.


(For some of those antics, by the way, she’s now been sentenced to 5 years probation, which is actually a long-ass probation period as far as these things go)


Hopefully, between the probation sentence and her newfound fame (and the potential to make money with it), Danielle will be able to adjust her behavior and stay out of trouble.



Honestly, we think that the vast majority of the blame for Danielle’s behavior can be laid at the feet of one individual: her mother.


We all saw that disturbing video of Danielle Bregoli being hit repeatedly by her mother.


Both mother and daughter dismissed it as “play.”


Any household where that kind of violence is commonplace is going to produce adults with … issues.


We just hope that Danielle can move past that.


So, strangely, we’re rooting for her success to continue. Weird, we know.

Taylor Swift: Crushing ALL the Records with New Music Video!

Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” music video is rich in not-so-subtle symbolism but also features at least one “easter egg,” revealing who is in and out of Taylor Swift’s squad.


It’s also a really good music video. The song, compared to highlights from 1989, isn’t as strong, but we cannot think of a Taylor Swift music video that can match it.


Apparently, the internet agrees — because “Look What You Made Me Do” is smashing records with a vengeance. It’s coming for you, next, “Despacito.”



Part of the power that Taylor Swift wields is that, even though “Look What You Made Me Do” is controversial and even hated by some people, it’s crushing records.


The video and the song, both.


So, whether you love Taylor’s comeback with a vengeance or you can’t stand her or fall somewhere in between (there really are some indifferent folks out there), it seems that nobody can ignore her work.


Let’s go through some of the milestones that “Look What You Made Me Do” has hit.


Most First-Day Lyrics Views:


Taylor Swift’s song, which came out at the end of last week, was accompanied by a lyrics video.


(Remember the old days, when you had to just hope that the physical CD that you’d bought included the lyrics in the cover packet? That was hell)


That lyrics video alone received 19 million views within its first 24 hours.


The previous record belonged to the song “Something Just Like This,” by the Chainsmokers and Coldplay.


(“Something Just Like This” is a great song but the lyrics are so unintelligible that I once wrote out my “best guess” based upon what I was hearing after dozens of listens, and it was nuts — so it’s no wonder that so many people looked up those lyrics)


It’s been less than a week since “Look What You Made Me Do” dropped, but as of 1pm on Thursday, the lyrics video has more than 50 million views.



Most First-Day Spotify Streams:


Music Business Worldwide reports that “Look What You Made Me Do” was streamed almost 8 million times during the first 24 hours after Taylor released her new single.


Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran are friends (he’s even part of her squad), but he was the previous record-holder (“Shape of You” got 7 million streams on its first day) and Taylor ground that record under her heel.


Keep in mind that Spotify streams are just one of many ways to listen to music.


They don’t take into account listens by those of us who bought the song on iTunes (you get that single automatically when you preorder the Reputation album).


It also doesn’t count radio plays, all of the people listening on one video or another on YouTube, and of course the millions who immediately pirated the song.



Most Video Views During the First 24 Hours:


The “Look What You Made Me Do” music video was released during the VMAs on Sunday night.


It also got almost 30 million views during those first 24 hours.


Adele’s “Hello” got 27.7 views during its first day, which was all kinds of impressive.


But clearly Taylor Swift intends to reach ever upward.


As of 1pm on Thursday, not even four days after the video was released, the official “Look What You Made Me Do” music video on Taylor’s VEVO channel has over 78 million views.



Taylor also bested one of her personal records.


Taylor Swift’s Biggest YouTube Debut:


As you can imagine, Taylor’s previous personal best for a YouTube release was the music video for “Bad Blood.”


Despite Kendrick Lamar rapping over parts of the song, the star-studded music video was absolutely breathtaking.


It got an impressive 17 million views just during its first day.


Obviously, that doesn’t quite hold a candle to nearly 30 million views in the same time period.


Amazing that Taylor Swift at her current, “weakened” state is netting more views than she did when she was at the absolute height of her popularity.


We cannot wait to hear the rest of this album and see what other music videos she produces.


She’s set the bar pretty high.


Of course, if she wants to break the “Despacito” viewing record of 3.4 billion, Taylor will need all of the ambition that she has.

Sinead O"Connor Records Disturbing Video, Says She"s Suicidal

Sinead O"Connor is in need of serious professional help.


This is not breaking news, but that doesn"t make it any less true.


Earlier this week, the singer recorded a 12-minute video in which she detailed the depths to which she’s fallen, saying she’s just been “wandering” around for two years and doesn’t believe life is worth living.


"I am now living in a Travelodge motel in the ass end of New Jersey," says the former Grammy winner in the footage below, adding:


"I"m a 5"4" little f-cking woman wandering the world for two years by myself."



Just over a year ago, O"Connor was reported missing amidst fears that she would kill herself.


She later penned a lengthy note and blamed her family for what the artist deemed a "total psychological and emotional destruction."


In this Facebook video, O"Connor again lashes out at her loved ones, saying the way they"ve shunned her has led to her mental breakdown.


"I"m all by myself," she says.


"And there"s absolutely nobody in my life except my doctor, my psychiatrist – the sweetest man on earth, who says I"m his hero – and that"s about the only f-cking thing keeping me alive at the moment… and that"s kind of pathetic.


"I"m not staying alive for me. If it was just for me I"d be gone.


"Straight away back to my mum… because I"ve walked this earth alone for two years now as punishment for being mentally f-cking ill and getting angry that no one would f-ckng take care of me."



The artist explains that she filmed herself like this in order to show people what it"s like to be "one of millions" suffering from mental health disorders.


"Mental illness, it"s like drugs, it doesn"t give a shit who you are, and equally what"s worse, it"s the stigma, it doesn"t give a shit who you are.


"Suddenly all the people who are supposed to be loving you and taking care of you are treating you like shit. It"s like a witch hunt."


Horribly sad stuff all around.

Blake Shelton To Universal Records: Stop Ruining Winners of The Voice!

Blake Shelton is not about to let the latest winner of The Voice become a casualty of mismanagement from Universal Records. 


Blake mentored Sundance Head throughout the competition and played a huge part in why his act managed to win the crown. 


Sundance Head was already a contestant on American Idol Season 6, so Blake no doubt wants to make sure he does not slip into oblivion again. 



Speaking to reporters after Tuesday’s season finale, Blake had much to say on the matter


“I want to say one more thing here, because it’s important. I want to personally issue a challenge to Universal Records. This is Season 11 of ‘The Voice,’ and I’m sitting here right now next to a guy who has won over America’s hearts,” Blake said.


“He’s so popular. He has proven that he sells tons of music… I hope that we can all come together — meaning us and Universal Records-[because] this is the guy that I think can break the mold and become a star out of this show.”


There’s no denying that Universal Records has a terrible track record of making any of the winners of the show have much in the way of longevity. 



It sucks because people expect to have their career carved out for them after winning the show, but few of the winners have actually released an album.


“I give my word that I’ll put my work in, and I know [Sundance] will,” Blake said.


“This guy deserves to be a star, and there’s no excuses anymore. We need to make the record and put the work behind it that he deserves, to have this success that he deserves. And that has to start with Universal Records getting involved and behind him.”


“We do so much great s**t for these singers, and then they go to a record label that I won’t mention. But they go to a record label that f**ks it up,” he said.



There’s nothing like telling it how it is. Right?


Universal Records have yet to respond to Blake’s comments, but they certainly won’t be happy about them. 


How would you feel if someone was trashing your record label?



Maybe this will be the thing that leads to Blake parting ways with the show.


There has been rumblings that he and Adam Levine are close to being finished with the show. 



Maybe they’re just sick of nurturing these artists to just disappear. 


It’s a tiring process enough without watching people lose their chances. 


Either way, we’ll need to stay tuned to find out whether Sundance Head goes the way of the flip phone. 


Sound off below with your thoughts on the matter.

Game of Thrones Season 6 Finale SHATTERS Ratings Records!

SPOILER ALERT:


King’s Landing wasn’t the only thing that blew up on Sunday night!



According to numbers released today, ratings for the Game of Thrones Season 6 finale are the highest in the show’s history by a good margin.


An estimated 8.9 million viewers watched the live broadcast of Cersei’s massacre at the Sept of Baelor.


The record was previously held by the Season 5 finale, which pulled in 8.1 million.


In the all-important 18-49 demo, the series also beat its previous personal best.


“The Winds of Winter” notched an impressive 4.4 million viewers in that category.



The high water-mark prior to Sunday night was 4.1 million.


Of course, these days, the real measure of a show’s popularity is the live + 3 and live + 7 ratings. (Watching shows when they’re scheduled to air is totes for old people.)


Those numbers aren’t out yet for the finale, but Thrones has been killing it in said departments all season.


In fact, the show averaged 23.3 million viewers per episode across all platforms in Season 6.


Bolstered by strong word of mouth, the series’ ratings have been steadily climbing for the past three seasons.


HBO still spends a fortune on marketing, but it almost seems unnecessary at this point.


After the insane amount of online buzz that followed the penultimate episode, “Battle of the Bastards“, there was no way the Season 6 swan song was not going to deliver huge numbers.


Social media was abuzz with predictions, and fans know that once the show airs, avoiding spoilers becomes more and more difficult with each passing day.


Watch Game of Thrones online if you still need to catch up.


Just make sure you’re quick about it: Facebook is dark and full of spoilers.
