Never mind. A recent receipt checking has brought me to the conclusion that "Swarovski" no longer needs that boost.
Update, though:
"Swarovski" is at 1,597,000 copies.
Queens!

JUNGLEPUSSY + MILEY CYRUS + AZEALIA BANKS
SURPRISE COACHELLA SET
After releasing a surprise collaborative EP last Monday, the three mega-stars have taken the week off to relax and prepare for the new, excruciating promotion schedule. Set to conquer the media this week with the lead single, title track “Run the Bitch”, the three rolled up at Coachella to perform all the songs from ‘Run the Bitch’ for the first time ever. Being as this event was huge, the event trended on all social media networks as well as created much buzz for the EP.
Run the Bitch
Blow
PÜ$$¥
Touch Me
Feelin’ Like
Way Downtown
To Be
Their concert was very simple, which was something the crowd admired. After blowing onto the scene with “Run the Bitch”, the three girls dominated the stage without any production onstage what-so-ever. They performed each song with passion, having different choreography routines for each song. During “Way Downtown”, the three girls stepped off the stage and wandered into different parts of the crowd. And at the end, the three girls let their vocals alone shine with “To Be”. At the end, they went off onto the streets to interact with all their fans.

JUNGLEPUSSY + MILEY CYRUS + AZEALIA BANKS
BILLBOARD MEGA-ARTICLE + EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE
Track-By-Track Synopsis
Last Monday, Junglepussy, Miley Cyrus and Azealia Banks released a collaborative EP titled 'Run the Bitch'... completely out of the blue. Hitting #1 in over 100 countries, the three stars have proven to be forces to reckon with, especially when working together. The sexy, sassy and confident EP contains seven brand-new songs in which Revolution & DREAMCREAM Records have worked up together to unleash.
The first track, title track, and lead single, "Run the Bitch", completely takes the world by storm. Being the very track the three produced together and wrote with Georgie Skai, name-dropping is taken to a whole new level. Talking about the current industry, all three girls go in 110% on showing the executives all around the global, that they do indeed run the game. Miley claims she's got Rihanna tied up to the roof of her trunk, and insists she will "drive off this bridge, and kill this bitch." Then we have Azealia Banks, revisiting her Twitter feuds, calling Lily Allen's children "ugly" and accusing Rita Ora of "hopping on Jay-Z's dick." And finally, Junglepussy that she makes it rain, but "not like Taylor Swift", which has been interpreted in many different ways. With this diss, Pop anthem on the girls' hands, it's destined to be a success.
The second track, "Blow", provides a more relaxed environment, but still holds the Pop foundation of this record. Produced by producer mogul Mike WiLL Made-It, the fun track shows that the women are here from 6 to 11, then hit the nightlife for some more. With an interesting Urban-esque breakdown, the women command the listeners to "get low" and "pop that ***** bitch" after collecting their cash from a hard day's work. Definitely another bop on the EP.
The third track, "PÜ$$¥", is an all Georgie Skai effort from both writing and producing. Having it just a little over two minutes, it serves as the EP's simplest song on the album. With nothing but one bass beat three beats per measure in a verse, the women really get the chance to let their attitude shine through in the track. Filled with a catchy introduction, the three say, "Go purchase some ***** pop, it's at the corner by the hooker shop." And for the choruses, nothing is heard other than the girls claiming "I know you want my *****" over claps. The short track always leaves you wanting more.
The fourth track, "Touch Me", begins to get deeper into the sexier side of the EP, as well as more Electronic. Produced by Diplo, the track has a more Pop-funk approach in verses, but hints of EDM throughout the chorus. Written by Azealia Banks primarily, she comes up with the catchy hook, "I'm feeling nasty, feeling trashy / Put ya hands on my body, and touch me baby". The bridge shows to be one of the more rough and commanding highlights of the EP, where the women recite the words "**** me good, **** me hard" over light EDM and light background sensual noises. Showcasing their higher ranges in falsettos throughout the choruses, the song proves to be a breath of fresh air.
The fifth track, "Feelin' Like", is the climax of the project. Produced by Dance trio Krewella, you guessed it, the track is purely EDM. With vibrant and high synths bursting into chorus break beats, lyrics mainly written from Miley Cyrus have you on the edge of your seat. A great example is the pre-chorus, where Miley writes, "‘Cause you got me, feelin’ like / This is do or die / Looks so wrong, but it makes me feel / Alive" as Azealia sings it with Miley's ad-libs in the back. Layered with Junglepussy's excellent higher register, the track proves to be an upbeat club banger.
The sixth track, "Way Downtown", is produced by Paul Oakenfold, who has previously worked with Azealia Banks. With the three women having written the song together, it discusses about one heavy night making all the roads downtown one big blur. With Euro-Dance production, containing hints of Pop and Rhythmic along the song, Paul Oakenfold creates yet another euphoric and timeless feeling bop. "I need to find my way back downtown" is cried out before a break in the production enters, starting a perfect and free chorus. Listening to the track late at night, really does give you a more carefree feel.
The seventh and final track, "To Be", is the only mid-tempo on the EP. Using an unfinished Sevyn Streeter demo, the singers took the song to a whole new level by making it more ballad-based, but still containing an Urban sound where Junglepussy shows off her producing skills alongside Mike WiLL Made-It. Closing out the EP, the girls' vocals are soft and emotional having a 1980s motel singer feel to a light Urban instrumental. The bridge samples a real-life proposal, as the three belt over it with ad-libs creating the most heartfelt moment in music of the year. "I've never felt like this before, passion and control" pours out through the heart of Junglepussy, who vocally takes the reigns on this track as well as production. The track, and EP, end with a light piano chord and the three women singing lightly, "To be in love, with you."
Interview
Question: How long have the three of you planned this?
Azealia Banks - We have planned this collaborative EP since March 1st, literally the day the new quarter started.
Miley Cyrus - My label basically approached theirs and asked for the opportunity, and at like 10PM-ish they had accepted and the project was a go.
Question: Why did you call the EP 'Run the Bitch'?
Junglepussy - This record is all about being confident, running things. Although the record has a good amount about love and sex on it, it's still a part of "running the bitch". You're still going out there, getting your money, getting that dick, and coming home like PTAF would say - as a boss ass bitch.
Question: Was April 7th always the release date?
Miley Cyrus - Yes. We said whatever happens happens. Unfortunately we released on a very dead week, so we didn't want to promote without competition, we'd like to earn our positions and sales putting up a fight.
Question: Why select "Run the Bitch" as the first single?
Junglepussy - Why not?
Azealia Banks - Because we don't lie, and it's an iconic track waiting to smash. There's never been a song like this in the industry, that's for sure. And we're here to prove, we run the show.
Question: What can we expect promotional wise?
Azealia Banks: We're putting out three singles, which are going to be pretty quick. This is just a side project which is apart from our current solo eras, which is truly what we'd like to focus on. Most of our promotion will be done solo, but once in a while we'll reconvene and do some performances together.
Miley Cyrus - I'm also going to be doing something a little different to help out this project.
Junglepussy - And also visually this era is going to be amazing. Expect diversity and very, very controversial visuals.
Question: What would you like to say to the other artists?
All: Surprise!
Exclusive Performance: "Run the Bitch"
The three took to Billboard's indoor set to perform their lead single "Run the Bitch" exclusively for the website. The three danced in front of a huge black wall, wearing all-white clothes for each of them. The choreography was on point, as well as sassy vocals and amazing gestures. During the performance, Miley Cyrus stuck the middle finger up; Azealia Banks pulled out a ***** from her pants; Junglepussy reached in for a couple thousands of bucks from her bra and made it rain in the studio. The mini, but provocative performance was uploaded to YouTube as well, getting 1.3 million views in its first hour as well as being incorporated with the mega-article.

SUNDAY - APRIL 13TH PROMOTION
NEW MILEY SONG ON ASCAP - "SHOT ME DOWN"
As Smilers are going ballistic over 'Run the Bitch', many are still anxiously waiting of the Kill Bill cover from Miley to be released. Well, they've got good news! The track was registered on ASCAP this morning, where it was also cited that David Guetta was the main artist, with Miley just being the feature. The song is set to be promoted a tiny bit, although it will never get sent to radios or sent out for charting positions and sales.
AMERICAN TOP 40 W/RYAN SEACREST
This morning Miley Cyrus was a special call-in guest on the weekly radio countdown, American Top 40 which was hosted by Ryan Seacrest. Finding much success on the countdown itself, "Run the Bitch" debuted at #11 on the chart, as well as "On the Radio" sustaining a nice #7 position.
Ryan: We have Miley Cyrus on the line, Happy Sunday Miley!
Miley: Hey Ryan, Happy Sunday.
Ryan: So you have two hits with us on the chart, last week "On the Radio" was at #1 - how does it feel to get your first #1 hit this era?
Miley: It's not just this era, it's in my career. I was pretty surprised, I just really wanted the album to go #1, and having the single on top as well was so cool.
Ryan: So after you hit #1, you come out with this collaboration between Junglepussy and Azealia Banks. And it's not just one song, it's a seven-track extended play.
Miley: Yeah.
Ryan: I mean - how long did you guys plan that?
Miley: Over a month actually. It was extremely, extremely hard to not say anything - we were all so excited. But we're glad it came as a surprise like it should have. And even though nothing interesting was happening that week, we still thought it was the best time to release it.
Ryan: What was it like working with Junglepussy and Azealia Banks?
Miley: Just as fun as working with Lindsay Lohan. They’re both so dedicated, I’m telling you once they have an idea - they go in, I’m talking like ten to eleven hours in the studio just to perfect one verse. They’re such hard workers, and they’re incredibly fun too. If we could all tour together, we would.
Ryan: And now you are promoting it, the first single is "Run the Bitch" correct?
Miley: Yes, I'm very shocked it's already at #11 on here, that's fantastic!
Ryan: You guys did a little something with Billboard - is it true there will be three singles and very fast-paced?
Miley: Well, we're actually all in the middle of promoting our solo albums, except Junglepussy who does not have one out at the moment. Azealia and I are on tour, and this is just a side project to say, so singles should not last more than three weeks with priority promotion.
Ryan: And in fact, you will be moving onto the new single of the 'My Truth' era tomorrow, correct?
Miley: Yes, "In Your Eyes" is the fourth single and I'm very excited to start performing it on TV and all - it's going to be pretty amazing.
Ryan: Why "In Your Eyes"?
Miley: I haven't put out a ballad as a single yet, and my last two singles have been these collaborations, so I think now's the perfect time to put out something completely different. I think I'm at a peak now in my era, especially with 'Run the Bitch' out, so "In Your Eyes" could be like the biggest single of my album yet.
Ryan: Do you think it will be?
Miley: There's a good chance, yeah.
Ryan: Any last words before you go?
Miley: My episode of Ellen will be airing today, so stay tuned for that!
Ryan: Ladies and gentlemen, Miley Cyrus thank you so much for being on the air.
Miley: Thanks.
ALBUM SIGNING AND MINI CONCERT - MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN
In Milwaukee, Wisconsin for her tour - Miley did her regular album signings and mini concert. However, now with 'Run the Bitch' in play, her events were now bigger. Grand Avenue Mall Shopping Center was Miley's event, as about 20% more than the usual crowd showed up. With a #1 single, and a surprise-released collaborative EP - Miley's at a point this era where she's shaping up to be bigger than ever. She started the mini concert with "Run the Bitch", adding it on to the set list. The performance featured a lot of backup dancers, as the choreography was pumping and fierce. Junglepussy's and Azealia's parts were playback-ed, as well as their harmonies during some parts where Miley leaded. Next Miley performed her hit "On the Radio", which topped the Singles Chart for a week. Her performance was more laid back, as a live band was incorporated and choreography was a bit less overall. She closed out playing the piano with the band to her brand-new single impacting tomorrow, "In Your Eyes". Her vocals were stellar, as she controlled her emotions and started to learn to be relaxed and focused on the song. Afterwards, she signed about eight thousand albums between 'My Truth' and 'Run the Bitch'. A great day!
THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW
Miley Cyrus's Ellen episode aired today, attracting 9 million viewers, a lot more than the average. Backstage the two Instagram-ed pictures of themselves and had a lot of fun. With the episode starting, Ellen let Miley perform right away. Miley opened the show with "Run the Bitch" solo, with about fourteen backup dancers. Everyone wore all-black as the backing track played. Some platforms were lifted a bit from the floor, as Miley and a few girls dressed up as certain popstars were on the platforms as well. Miley stuck the finger during the performance, which was censored, and twerked hard during Junglepussy's verse which was playback-ed. The crowd gave her major applause, as she came down for a short chat with Ellen. At the end of the show, she returned to the stage to perform her new single from ‘My Truth’, “In Your Eyes”. She played the piano, as the live band helped elevate the chorus to higher places than the studio version. Miley’s vocals were amazing, making many members in the audience moved. She got up, hugged Ellen and Ellen held up both of Miley’s albums, ‘My Truth’ and ‘Run the Bitch’ with Junglepussy and Azealia Banks.

I've had an era planned out for an artist I've never signed since CAL4 and I keep wanting to do it but Azealia keeps getting in the way Azealia's also probably going to get passed as the number one artist on CAL.
