The same reason a slew of Beyonce fans are here kii'ing over something that's not a shock.
Ugh I just read back
It's so tired. No one is willing to see reason with this album even if HDD updated her sales to 700k since they're clinging desperately to that 460 and "fake Platinum" nonsense
OMG. You are aware that they add single streams to albums sales, right? In this case, they're adding TIDAL streams as well as "Work" streams/single sales, which is available on all platforms, I believe.
Reading comprehension is fundamental:
Despite a vexed rollout for her ANTI (Westbury Road/Roc Nation), Rihanna looks to be headed for a #1 album bow on this week's charts, with a likely 110k albums and 140-150k SPS (driven largely by sales of single "Work").
HDD's SPS chart still includes both sales/streaming, despite the title. Otherwise Adele would not be charting at all, bar what streams Hello is getting. Like.
The 150k, as they stated in the quote from an earlier article, is because Work is selling strongly. ANTI is nowhere but Tidal, and would need to have over 30 million streams just to make 20k units, let alone however much some are believing here.
That's my point. They're adding TIDAL streams like they did for this weeks chart as well as Work Sales. The fact remains that her pure album sales will still be under around 115k. The 155k is boosted by SPS.
*giggles hysterically* so billboard is a scam as well. Those things are so cute with their little drags. I mean, when you have been dragging them since 2010, every little bit counts. Whatever gives those things such cute confidence. *giggles hysterically*

I'm laughing because nobody uses Tidal, although Rih was able to double the subscribers single handedly.
I don't count SPS I'm counting who actually bought the album.
Congrats, Billboard isn't.
Anyways, you're counting the people who bought the album on iTunes or Tidal only considering that's the only place it is currently available and most album sales come from physical copies.

We can sense and smell the frustration coming from you while you try to keep together and above
Keep living and giggling hysterically sweetheart... it's basically all you got now
Free albums. Free Streaming. I guess everything but solid pure sales where you have to purchase.
And money is being made regardless. Whether with digital sales or streaming. Isnt it a beautiful thing. Westbury Road loves it. Masters owned. Others cant say the same.

Let's wait for the big impact yall are expecting once it hit the stores. The way it gets thrown around here, I'm expecting at least 200K+ for the 3rd week.
