40 RIHANNA - GOOD GIRL GONE BAD 20,502 -8 704,921 >> she should just give up. she's hurt her chances at having any kind of fanbase with her best album.

P!nk!

rihannas album is filled of great possible hits, ...and that´s the problem in these days of downloading

honestly the problem can't always be blamed on downloads. yes we can say, cuz it's true, that downloads is the cause of declining sales, but it has nothing to do with what the artist can sell. (i.e. Justin Timberlake).

It's really the problem of making a great album + releasing the right singles, which apparantly Rihanna and/or her label can't do. I swear if "Rehab" was released as the 2nd single instead of "SUAD" she would be selling way past 1 million by now. Then again it would've been senseless since "Rehab", by Amy, was huge at the time.

^what you said....

but the biggest reason i think is that she came out too late, combined with not adding so much character to her music (no writing, average singing as well as dancing skills)

Flop!

Three Days Grace is near a million.

wtf @ "Back To Bedlam" rising 17%.

one-album-wonder

Yes! I bought that album and it's great!

Korn. :/ I really hope "Hold On" stablizes them in the bottom 100, at least, I don't wanna see this album flop worse than TALITM. We'll see what the rest of the month brings.

Smashing Pumpkins have it just as bad. Not much of a comeback, imo, and the album is not nearly as bad as it may seem [I'm not a big fan of it.] They need a solid third single ["Bring the Light" plz] to get it passed Gold status.

smashing pumpkins used to own so hard

I thought that would've been a problem too, but after seeing Good Charlotte change the name of Dance Floor Anthem, I think it wouldn't be too hard to change the name of Rehab to something like "You're My Disease."

I personally don't think that "Rehab" is a potent enough song to catapult the album past a million sales. Let's face it, it's not as immediately catchy as Irreplaceable or Say It Right and as far as ballads go, they chose the best one on the album to release as a single (HTILY). Maybe you think Rehab is a great song but I think you're wrong that it would be a huge smash. It probably would go as high as SUAD did. As for the entire album...well I went ahead and bought it because Best Buy accidentally had a $9.99 sticker on it but it took me a little while before all the songs grabbed me. It just doesn't have that wow factor despite "Umbrella"'s huge success. All of the songs are ok and none of them can be considered filler but none of them are spectacular really either.

P!nk and Rihanna!
wow Nickelack 6,000,000 after 2 years! (fianlly)

Actually, Break The Ice is right for a change, if she released something like Rehab as a 2nd single, chances are she'd have sold better, her managing team isn't organized, you know?
