I think that it will since Rihanna is on a hiatus pretty much and she's buliding hype. She's probably going to follow suite with the "New Rules" That Kanye, Jay & Bey have done for their projects and this could possibly stand beside her GGGB & Loud eras. Maybe even top them who knows
Hard to tell since we don't know what sound she is going for, but i am interested to see her opening numbers since it looks like she will release before her usual Nov release.
We have to hear it first. But I think she will. I'm here for her to prove wrong once again for the people who said she has to release 1 album per year to be relevant.
You cant really say much at this point considering we havent even heard anything from R8, If its a la loud style they might end up around selling the same
