I guess so...
Still, she needs to properly promote if she wants the album to sell well
A target deal, interviews, performances, the full 9 yards.

I'm expecting Prism's numbers - 305k

bye gurl fly gurl

Touche sis. Touche.

Exactly. Everyone comes for Rih sales but loves to overlook the fact that she released yearly. Obviously her numbers are not gonna be the same as those who take breaks and fully promote.

But correct me if I'm wrong : TD sold 6mil WW over the span of 2 years LOUD: 6 mill WW
TTT: 3 WW + UNA: 3.5WW= 6.5 in 2 years. Seems like Rih is on par or superior to her contemporaries.

Why are you all expecting PRISM numbers? That would be AMAZING, but I think an expectation like that is too big a prediction to make before the era starts.

Unapologetic did 238K on Black Friday week, and had a #1 single during the release. I doubt the opening numbers are increasing.

Dunno if it has alrady been discussed (too lazy to go through tons of pages ) but Rih looks so fierce in her latest instagram pics from NYE Like damn

Why are you even in here?..

If you replace S&M with OG (ITW)/Fading then that's the true LOUD trinity.

I want her to perform Skin on tour Imagine like the 'le sex shoppe' act on LOUD tour. She has the same thing she performed on and it would be act 2 or smth.

Act 2:
S&M
Skin
Lov7 Song (with elements from Bad)

Imagine...... & then a sexual song from R8 (if she does one)

right ?!



Special shoutout to DYT and WHYB too.

Yes. One thousand times, YES!



Lov7 Song could have SMASHED!



SN: Imagine if #R8 comes out in 2015 we'd be suffering what the BeyHive suffered & I've already suffered that once because I'm a BeyStan, and I don't wanna suffer it again....

We haven't had ANY confirmation of her even thinking about R8.

I can actually see 300-325k happening with a solid first single and DWUW promo. I doubt she'll open with less than UA numbers.

Because I love Rihanna.

I'll be extremely happy with 150-175K opening next era. I have modest expectations meant to be surpassed by the Queen.
