Rihanna has NEVER been an albums artist until literally right now.
The physical isn't out.
It's not on Spotify.
It's the slowest month for album sales.
It was given away to ONE MILLION PEOPLE.
 Please use your head.

Years later.. So much for her self titled, 1989, and 25 sells. Stop acting like she didn't need that Samsung deal. You, know as well as I do, that she wouldn't have gone plat in a day without the deal bossman got for her.

The navy is the most delusional bunch I have ever come across. So someone to be so international those sales are looking rather stale.
Your fave is a flop, DEAL.

Girl FOH.
My fave went platinum in a fifth of the time it took your fave to do so. Watch out. The only ones who are mad in here are yall hating ass bitches who could barely show face in the Platinum thread but quick to come in here chile bye. Talk when/if your fave makes it to her eight album, we're certified and STILL selling over here.

They can pick and choose what to troll but the Navy can't troll our own fav, supposedly.
We give them literal facts reported by news outlets and we're making up excuses for her performance.
Queenqueenqueen got them mad? I think so.

She sure did.
But they're all lying now about their exceptions, making it seem like Rih didn't exceed anything when they literally expected the WORSE for her.
They can miss me with the bulls**t.

Everyone in here is NOW pretending like this era wasn't a mess.

But she did.
And bitching about it won't change a thing sweetheart.

Yeah, never said it would've gone plat in a day. 
A more reasonable estimate would be somewhere around 300K if she hadn't
released it for free to 1 million people and do a whole week w/o the physical.
In the WORST MONTH FOR ALBUM SALES.  !!! How many times til you get it?
You can stuff words into people's mouths all you want but you can't ignore the facts.

Let's discuss how work wouldn't be anywhere in the top 10 if BB didn't just change their formula.
When following the Beyprint goes wrong....
|
Why do the Hive always bring up payola when the only recent scandal featured Beyonce's label, Columbia, and Epic Records? 
ANTI is doing well for what it is and I recommend waiting till all the cards are on the table before dragging Rih. We celebrated too early with RR only for Rude Boy to snatch us.

Why are people comparing a local male rapper who has his entire fanbase in the US to a female popstar that has found more success in other parts of the world in the past
Like every one knows rappers always open bigger than female popstars in general
Like the excuses to drag her are out of control today

And at the end of this all, the final numbers are not in. 125k after all that has happened is in NO way upsetting
No, the NAVY does NOT have low standards, we're taking all things into account, nothing Rihanna has done this era goes in hand in hand with what we expected her to do (musically, promo etc) let's be honest (Ironically, I guess that's why this is the ANTI era). But we're not gonna lay down and die over these numbers. Yall understand Rih has opened with 100k-200k for all her albums and outsold your faves in the long run right?

This. The members in here (Monsters mad over ARTPOP draggings/BeyHive just being the Hive) are just trying to get a quick kii and cackle in this situation.

I mean everyone in the Navy was suspicious about that 400k figure and now they're using it against us.
Especially a low move by the Hive, since this "lie" was literally made up by their faves husband.

I mean their faves are producing BIG first week sales but in the end can't even out sell the supposed "singles artist".
Really shows you can't deem anyone a flop so early.

Rude Boy just to lead into the Loud era with the 1-1-1 punch, followed by WFL/TTT, followed by Diamonds/UA. Like Rih is one of the most resilient Pop stars ever. She's actually exciting to follow because of how volatile and exciting all her releases are.

JAYZ debuted with +500k and ended up selling "only" 1.1M copies, in 2013. so let's not.
