Originally posted by ♚ PRiNCE HiGH ♚ That certification is given because of the PURCHASE of those albums. God knows how many of them were redeemed for free because there's no one I'm buying into another one Tidal's ******** Of COURSE they did? Did the NOT lie about those 400k albums sold within few hours of the first day as well? And you still believe THEM?

Originally posted by lonnie And it's not impossible for 1 million free downloads thing to be true when people could no longer download the album after a while.

Originally posted by Mokichi But this was obviously WW, because people in many countries downloaded it so the certification in the US doesn't make any sens Anyway let's see how the album do in the long run.

Originally posted by CupidsSanity I dont think any artist besides adele could pull off what Rihanna just did. Who else could give away 1million copies and still sale of 100k? btw the album wasn't necessarily leaked. they planned to give it away to begin with.

Originally posted by lonnie Tidal or no, just as you said. The albums were purchased and Rih got her money plus her certification. And it's not impossible for 1 million free downloads thing to be true when people could no longer download the album after a while.

Originally posted by Skin&Bone 130k plus Tidal's 400k, right?

Originally posted by ♚ PRiNCE HiGH ♚ Well duh? Just because they're certified doesn't mean all of them were actually redeemed by the consumers. That could've easily been because of the underwhelming response? Or it was purposely done to prove that the "DEMAND" was too much to handle? And I'd rather believe that than ANYTHING Tidal says in regards to this matter esp when their intentions are crystal clear. See? Damn Tidal No 400k copies were sold sis. That was just a lie spread by Tidal

Originally posted by blackbeatxx so, again....what about the 400k TIDAL claimed?

Originally posted by shelven Wow, Sia's numbers are way above my expectations. I thought she'd do something around 40-50K pure sales since she didn't have a hit leading up to this album. I guess her fanbase is growing

Originally posted by M A R C I don't remember Beyonce giving away her album for free to a million people?

Originally posted by carameldelight I remember Jay Z doing it and still slaying first week. LOL the fact that this is 3 years of build up and suppose antinticipation. FLOP. Rihanna doing Tamar Braxton numbers lol Plus Bey would never do such a silly tactic.

Originally posted by lonnie If the 1 million downloads was false then why did Billboard count the streams and hence Anti debuting this week?

Originally posted by Samuel. That was a LIE. The navy tried.. First: ANTI HAS SOLD 1M Later: ANTI HAS SOLD 400k Reality: Anti sold 470 copies.

Originally posted by MaRy Remember! No physical, no banner on iTunes, no iTunes takeover, 1 million free downloads and a leak, still # 1 !!!

Originally posted by KangBey I feel sorry for Rhi, this just isn't right!! The navy is going through what the monsters went through in 2013. I guess Anti has replaced Artpop, Britney Jean and Bionic as the biggest flop for a main pop girl.

definitely, I mean when you take in the fact that artpop which was considered the biggest flop by a pop girl which managed to sell 260k in it's first week and compare it to this colossal commercial failure that's expected to barely push 90k copies ( x2.5 less than what artpop did), it's a forgone conclusion that this is THE most tragic album release of the decade by a "major" pop girl if you can still say that seeing how her name has no pull anymore and she lost her star power since she can't push past a measly 100k in her first week of sales no more.
