Anywho, I expect R8 to sell double what BEYONCÉ sold with all the promo and 3 singles.

"All the promo"

And it's a fact sales market decreased much more from 2013 to 2015 than 2011 to 2013. Try again.

I don't think so but I might be wrong.

I just hope R8 is a success tbh.

"All the promo"
-- I Heart Radio awards
-- Grammy awards
-- SNL
-- Jimmy Kimmel
-- TV ads playing a song from the album with Dior
-- American Oxygen at March Madness (high TV ratings)
I'm probably missing some but these are HUGE promo appearances.

And I didn't say 2011 but 2001. He does it all the time

!!!!

This era has had WAY more promo so far, and the album isn't even titled or out. The navy and their selective memory!

And the album isn't even finished and she's going on the fourth single

No she won't.

Katy Perry? I don't even think you believe that.

In all honestly, it would be a tad bit disappointing if Rih sells anything less than 3 million WW with the amount of singles and promo she's had.

3 singles released to Pop radio ( all 3 got TV promo) and there are more coming VS 1 Pop single

R8 will definitely sell more. As usual Queen Rih will prevail with time.

Marla Singer

Would matching BEYONCÉ's first week sales alone by the end of this year be a reasonable goal for R8?

She could scrap all the songs released so far for all we know.

let's just wait until the album is out (Again first week sales should not indicate the success of a Rihanna album)

We would also have to wait a full year or two to decide but cute the hive measure beyonce success through Rihanna.

Ok. That thing and it's team pulled out ALL the stops for these flop singles. She BETTTER outsell Beyoncé.

Yeah no she did more promo for r8 and her label isn't gonna let all the millions they spent on promo go waste to fit the failure of your previous post.

1. So?
Given that "complete my album" is a feature on iTunes, this is NOT a valid excuse.

2. You guys keep saying and wishing this as if it's something to be proud of

3. Yes they will and always have. What kinda delusion is this?

4. We don't measure Bey's success through Rihanna but we know it helps the Navy sleep better. This thread compares R8 with BEYONCÉ, so comparing them is what this thread is about

I don't think R8 Will outsell Beyoncé but it will have moderate hit's and go platinum. Nobody expects much first week.

Bey had to make a video for EVERY SONG and perform the WHOLE ALBUM it took her nearly 2 years to get 3.8

Less promo? She's already had more performances than the entire ST era had and her album doesnt even have a name nor release date yet !

Bey did not have to do anything. Nobody was expecting a visual album. She did because she had the budget and creative control to do so.

ST is only 18 months old. Its been 3.8 million since like January so dunno where your "nearly 2 years" inference is comin from. Half the haters says it was front-loaded and the rest like you pull the "took nearly" blah blah tactic. Its not as if Rih has or will ever sell one million copies in less than a week. Bey did that!
