Beyonce sold 600k before first week, Rihanna never went above 240k.

Her key to success is longevity and radio success. She's not front loaded like some other girlies.

Oh so it's because "Work" is increasing so they're adding that.
So the album is still BOMBING in pure sales. YIKES.

Delusional mess..work would have to sell about 200k more for them to add another 20k album equivalent.

TTT did 198k during Black Friday in 2011.
No matter how hard you want these number to look bad, they aren't.

Self-titled by Beyoncé sold 600+ k PURE SALES digitally in 3 days.
Being digitally available only is NO excuse, Navy. But if you wanna try that, I expect a huge surge once it's available physically.

First of all Self-titled was her biggest opening sales!!!!

Second stop talkin about front-loaded when Anti didnt even load at all!

I never thought I'd see a day where Rih can't open with half the pure sales of Gaga's commercial failure album. Just goes to show you which artists are ACTUALLY big and respected in the real world. Like where is her fanbase?

Excuses aside, this album should be debuting with 300K+ after an almost 4 year wait, 4 singles (one brand new), an ACTUAL NON-FICTICIOUS $25M promo budget, big features, coming from a big era, etc.... It's all just too much. The anticipation and wait for VFT6 and ANTI are similar, but Drake will probably quadruple Rih's sales. The Navy can act brand new all they want but at least they know deep down they're getting their karma for trying to drag Beyoncé and Gaga all these years
