Rap-Up.com || Dr. Dre, Chris Brown Top iTunes Charts

The Doctor is back on top. A mere two days after releasing his Detox single “I Need a Doctor” to digital retailers, Dr. Dre currently sits at No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes Top Songs chart.

A video for the first official single from Dre’s long-awaited album featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey was recently shot in Los Angeles with director Allen Hughes. Meanwhile, his Snoop Dogg and Akon-assisted buzz single “Kush” is No. 77 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Another comeback king, Chris Brown, sees similar success with his latest single “Look at Me Now” featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes. The Diplo and Afrojack production hold the No. 2 spot thanks to a surge in downloads. The banger comes off of Breezy’s fourth album F.A.M.E. (March 22), which has also spawned the dance floor-ready “Beautiful People” featuring Benny Benassi.

Other songs making the iTunes Top Songs chart include Bruno Mars’ “Grenade” at No. 4, Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” at No. 5, and Pitbull’s “Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor)” at No. 7. Alex Da Kid and Skylar Grey score another top 10 with Diddy-Dirty Money’s “Coming Home,” which lands at No. 8.

Start downloading “Look at Me Now”, its so much better. “I Need a Doctor” isnt that good and the only reason its at number one, is because eminem is on it.

Chris Brown’s single came straight out of left field. Didn’t even think it would appeal to anyone really.

Busta Rhymes>>>>>>>>>>>>

Eminem = instant success; so I’m not surprised there

If you’re gonna attribute the success of Dre’s single to Eminem, then you should also realize that Wayne has a lot to do with Chris being on top. Anything he touches goes top 10.

Not true because Lil Wayne has his own single out now and it didn’t hit #2 on itunes. Actually on twitter everyone likes Busta Rhymes verse. So all three of them need credit, Chris , Busta and Lil wayne. stop hating.

[Reply]
Yeah
February 3rd, 2011 at 10:53 am
Chris Brown is sooo overrated. He’s only #2 cuz of Wayne & Busta. I can transform was mostly just Chris and it sucked. It’ll go down probably by Saturday at in the 30′s or 40′s.

@yeah: I can transform ya wasnt a flop, it just came out @ the wrong time, shortly after the incident. That song was seriously under-rated but i hope it will be re-released when CB is back on top. Anything Eminem is on is a success nowadays expecially with his 10 GRAMMY NODS and numerous awards around the world. Personally i didnt see anything speciall about the particular song “love the way you lie” cos thats not his greatest poetry but i respect Eminem and Dre, Dre especially has been over-looked as the best producer ever, no disrespect to Timberland & Diddy but, let him have this spot in peace.

I’m so happy for Chris! He is proving the haters wrong left and right!

I’ll admit, I didn’t think that ‘Look At Me Now’ was gonna do as well as it is on the main iTunes charts, because it is so gritty, but it’s slaying iTunes right now! I can’t wait until it debuts on Hot 100! I am sure that the assistance of Wayne and Busta didn’t hurt though. Lol!

I tried to like that ‘I Need A Doctor’ song, but it’s really annoying to me. I just can’t get into it. *shrugs*

@Sheila: Thank You!

@Yeah: Shut your hatin ass up! You always have something negative to say about Chris and you are always trying to downplay his success! STFD and STFU!! If Chris is so overrated then why is it that you happy ass always finds your way into his post! Stop checking for him if he is so overrated!

Regardless of who the song features, it is still HIS song, so that makes it HIS hit!

‘I Can Transform Ya’ was released back in 2009 when he was still the most hated man in America!
Radio stations were still not playing his music and he didn’t get to perform it live ANYWHERE yet it still reached Top 20 on Billboard! Considering all of his obstacles and lack of support on radio, that was great!

Realize the fact that Chris is on his grind and he is getting back to where he was! He deserves all of his success including his three Grammy Nods that he recieved this year! Stay mad!

Poor thang.He can’t even fool his fans.
They are on twitter speaking about how such a garbage can be do high when they didn’t even buy it.

Song stands out just like deuces or did wayne have anything to do with that too? Please, give credit to whom credit is due and quit trying it. A lot more are still coming in fact his entire album with each take a turn @ the top 10 of every music chart in the world.

@ Rihsus: Your name alone proves that you are too delusional to function properly! Do the world a favor and just die! You are the epitome of ignorance!

@Me: Wayne is not the only for the success of ‘Look At Me Now’.

CB fans go hard! The day ‘Look At Me Now’ came out, people were twit picking pics of how many times they purchased it on itunes! One girl had purchased over 60 times! CB are the main reason why it is doing so well on itunes!

Yeah Wayne had a hot verse, and he is due his credit to making it a hit, but CB’s fan base reason why the song shot to the top of iTunes!

Besides, Busta’s verse murdered Wayne’s verse on the song, so I think Busta is more the reason of its success than Wayne.

I Need A Doctor is more like Eminem feat. Dr. Dre seeing as Dre only has one verse, and Em has two, and of course his being on it helped the sales, not hating though, it’s a dope song! And not everything Lil Wayne touches becomes a top 10 hit, the Fire Flame Remix didn’t do sh*t. And everyone knows Busta’s name alone won’t sell a song. So give CB his credit, f**king haters man, yall try to downplay everything good someone does for themselves.

Of course “I Need A Doctor” is #1. Em could fart on an entire record and it still hit #1, because he’s Eminem. I don’t care for the song personally, but “Look At Me Now” is hot except for Chris Breezy’s part. How ironic considering it’s his song. Busta went the eff in!

Also, ICTY was DOUBLE PLATINUM. Look it up, since you clearly have lots of free time.

I’ll admit something right now. I don’t like both songs that much. Most songs I hate end up being hits anyways. So that means a song that definitely deserves the number one spot, like “Words I Never Said” or “Price Tag” will probably be overlooked, because people want simplicity in a bottle instead of substance on a platter.

Their only intentions are to sit around and wait for something about him just to hate. Congrats to both Dre and CB!

@Nina it’s true stan/fan/or casual observer can bare witness to the fact that LOOK AT ME NOW its a much better song than I NEED A DOCTOR! Dre is just getter the vet coupled with the Eminem co-sign. I like THE CHRONIC Dre. That CD is still the best in its genre. This new song is garbage. LOOK AT ME NOW is an instant classic and anyone with ears and good sense knows that!
