I don't get why people think she is so talented Probably because the definition of 'talent' has changed so much these days Rihanna finally looks like a breakthrough artist.
Anyway...her first single is a ballad so i'm predicting around 250K because of the hype created by the 'Chris Brown hit me ERA'.
I hope she has better singles specially up-tempos & it seems she has been taking vocal classes. So hopes are up.
I say 200k-250k. Yeah, Good Girls Gone Bad was huge, but we all know how this works. Usher & Mariah also huge eras then had these mediocre singles open the new eras and well...the rest is history. On top of that she's not on the stature of those two. I just don't think these new singles will sell the album. "RR" is still good, "WYT" is umm that, but these are not album selling singles.
You never know. On one side, she is Rihanna, she was so huge with GGGB. On the other side, she is releasing crap now. Wait Your Turn and Hard suck, Russian Roulette is epic, but it won't be a big hit.

Get it right.
