And Ariana had a 2x Platnium mainstream hit along that was top 10 on the Hot 100 along with a discount on iTunes all week. Regardless of Tamar's promo she isn't mainsteam. Some people just need to stop acting like Ariana is pulling Taylor Swift numbers and just be happy for both.
Her showing her face on two reality shows and becoming Tumblr fodder is mainstream PROMO. Vince is also promo.
Ariana is a pop artist with a huge multiformat hit. Obviously she's going to do better than a R&B artist who caters to a smaller market. I'm happy for both of them. They both delivered solid albums and I'm glad people went out and supported them.
Ariana really good 1st week sales!!! for a new artist + doing really good and outselling Demi and Selena, Congrats!!
Im more impressed by Tamar Braxton!!! I mean this bicth has no hit singles + she is at one of the worst labels!! Epic records should be proud of this 1st week!! I hope that Avril outsolds Tamar!!

WE isn't a huge channel. Both Braxton Family Values and Tamar and Vince both get right under a million viewers each per episode, but that's actually considered huge for the WE. K. Michelle gets 4 million viewers each week on her show and she still sold less than Tamar. K. Michelle is "Tumblr fodder" too. Please stop trying to discredit Tamar and acting like her being on a reality show is equivalent to having a mainstream hit. Especially when the network she is on isn't nearly as big as other channels.
