Posted January 9, 201213 yr 0rhFywKCUTo Blue cries at the end of the track and Jay mentions in the song that Beyoncé has miscarried in the past. :( The song is going for adds on urban radio on January 17, according to AllAccess. JAY-Z - Glory f/B.I.C.: 1.667 JAY-Z - Glory f/B.I.C.: 3.785 (+ 2.118) (#61 Urban, #67 Rhy, #139 Pop) If this reaches the Hot 100, Blue will be the youngest artists to chart there. The current record is a 4 year old.
January 9, 201213 yr 0rhFywKCUTo Blue cries at the end of the track and Jay mentions in the song that Beyoncé has miscarried in the past. :( Awwww. This is so sweet. :wub: I wonder what it's like to have a child. It must be such a happy experience. It's sad they miscarried. It happened to my mum twice, and I think it's actually quite common, although people obviously don't want to talk about it usually. It must've been upsetting to be accused of faking your pregnancy after that.
January 10, 201213 yr I love that song! I usually find it quite cringey when artists make songs just after giving birth (although in Jay's case, he wasn't the one that did - obviously), but that's just really nice. And I love that they wrote a statement saying that Beyoncé did give birth naturally and didn't pay for the whole hospital floor! :D I think the second statement was never going to be true...
January 11, 201213 yr 'Glory' has charted on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart, making Blue Ivy the youngest artist ever to have a Billboard chart hit!
January 12, 201213 yr Author If you guessed that Baby Carter would grow up to be a star because of her ubiquitous, famous parents, you were probably right. If you anticipated her first song being released in her tweens, a la Willow Smith, you were dead wrong. Try within hours of her birth. Blue Ivy Carter, the bundle of joy brought into the world by megastar Beyoncé (with a little help from fellow famous dad Jay-Z) Saturday (Jan. 7), becomes the youngest person ever credited with gracing a Billboard chart, as Jay-Z's newly-recorded studio cut "Glory" -- officially billed as "featuring B.I.C.", an abbreviation of Blue Ivy Carter -- begins on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at No. 74. (For historical purposes, this week's Billboard charts are dated Jan. 21). Taking a page out of Stevie Wonder's proverbial book on how to be a sentimental musical dad, Jay-Z recorded his precious girl's first seconds of life -- her breathing, cries and coos -- just as Wonder did on his iconic song "Isn't She Lovely", written for his then-newborn daughter Aisha. Why does B.I.C. claim the mark for youngest charted artist and not Wonder's girl? Two reasons: young Aisha was never officially credited on "Lovely" and the song did not reach a Billboard chart until Jan. 29, 1977 (when it entered Adult Contemporary at its No. 23 peak), almost two years after she was born. Blue Ivy Carter/B.I.C. also benefits from the era in which she born. Technology today allows an advantage in that Jay-Z was able to record and release "Glory" less than 48 after her birth. After almost 72 years of numbers, positions, peaks, lows, gains and debuts -- the first national Billboard chart was published the week of July 27, 1940 -- the little princess born to the reigning king and queen of R&B/hip-hop breaks the mold almost concurrently with her arrival into Beyonce's anticipating, loving arms. "Glory" arrives as the week's highest new entry on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs with 1.7 million audience impressions on 54 radio stations, according to Nielsen BDS. In a stroke of chart kismet, the song marks Jay-Z's 107th career entry on the survey, mirroring the Jan. 7 birth date - in other words (or, um, numbers), 1/07 - of Blue Ivy.
