I feel so bad for Rihanna that Rated R won't debut on top. I just listened to The Last Song and it's so powerful and emotional, I'm in love. I re-discovered why I loved her in Pon De Replay, SOS, and the GGGB era. :heart:

Didn't Susan's exposure come mainly from the internet, which tends to be used mostly by young people?
The album isn't doing wonders in the UK either.

LMFAO!!!!!! :d ies:

And the sad song ends up being the last song you'll ever hear...



It should sell 500k based on this song alone

^ OMG ur so right THE LAST SONG is like her best ballad!!!! too much epicness in one song!

Im a newbie here, I read this board all the time!! ok back to the topic lol.

200k is good but not for rihanna. This is her fourth album,she had alot of hype and promotion surrounding it, I thought she was going to do at least 350k or more.

also :heart: cold case love.

YES!

Yeeeeah,im absolutely in love with that song,its so powerful!!!!

#22 The Netherlands Albums Chart

According to Billboard, Rihanna’s much hyped ‘comeback’ album ‘Rated R’ is on course to sell just 180,000 copies in its first week on sale. The news comes in the midst of her label okaying the LP being sold for $3.99, and eventually $0.99 in its opening week.

While I’ve given my own take on this many a time, I will say that it’s hardly surprising that the album is underperforming. After all, the label couldn’t have been acting in such a desperate manner if it was selling to begin with.

I doubt this signals the end of her career, as I’m sure many are hoping (which they shouldn’t…that’s bad karma lol). It just means we’ll probably be subject to 300 singles and 25 re-releases (including the Deluxe, Super Deluxe, Ultra Premium Deluxe, Spanish, Hebrew and Japanese versions…and of course the Super-Super Uber Ultra Premium Deluxe edition which comes with a DVD).

Oh well, in the words of Jay-Z himself:
“Men and women lie, but numbers don’t!”

I just can't...

TOO MUCH

I don't care if it flops. I just know that the music is great and commercial success is irrelevant. x

I doubt it's gonna flop that hard, but it ***** on most of the music out there

Not necessarily.

To me, if this album were to not even chart then it'd still be one of the best albums of the year (critically). x
