I mean, a lot of people seem to be acting as if the album hasn't flopped massively. If any other pop girl pulled those numbers, they would be dragged for months on end.

So, excusing Work, which is absolutely not a flop and has proven itself, is ANTi a flop?

(The 1 million free downloads in the US don't count).

But the 1 million downloads count. Ask RIAA.

Right? It just doesn't add up.

ANTI first week US: 123,815
ANTI first week UK: 20,136

UK+US = 144k
Mediatraffic WW = 193k
MusiCharts WW = 250k

MusiCharts is not reliable. Neither is Mediatraffic, but it's the most accurate source we have.

No one can prove which one is more reliable. At the end of the day IFPI is the most reliable.
+ I heard Mediatraffic does not track sales from retailers.

Oop, just figured out why the Navy uses MusiCharts
They deflated all of Self Titled's sales

2 (1) Anti - 220.800
3 (2) Anti - 166.300

TOTAL: 657.500 - 4 Weeks

There is no way it sold 166k in it's 4th week. Are they including SPS in that LOL.

Mediatraffic is more reliable. Nicki tweeted her WW album sales and it was almost exactly the Mediatraffic number while Musiccharts has a way higher number.

Sort of.
Who else is bringing a different genre sounding song and having it go #1???

Also, we all know that RIH is one of the most pirated artists in history.

Let's also not forget that she collaborated with the hottest rapper in the game for her lead single.

We shall see how the rest of the singles fare.

"There's no way anti sold.."

make your own site if you disagree...ki

The Navy honestly just has low standards. They will spin any receipt no matter how bad into Rihanna's favor. It's funny tho cuz even if work is #1 it probably still won't outsell "flops" like 45S and Applause WW.

Platinum. #1. Top 3 since official release. #1 single. Massive tour.

Massive tour?
Could you be so kind as to recall for me how many dates are sold out thus far?

So the one million downloads don't count because you say so?

Cyanide

Why has no one mentioned that the album is only "selling" because of SPS from Work? Imagine if we were talking actual SALES? Let's pray for something close to C2C numbers when all is said and done.mm

Because not a single person paid for those, a company did

Even counting the 1M copies Sammy bought her, she will be lucky to cross the 2M mark WW, less than ARTPOP

Kiddo.

fdsfsddfffddszd

not the girls citing it as "biggest pop era in recent times"

can ya'll let gyal outsell Title first, before we do too much.

So your argument is that despite having one of the biggest hits of all time (and 4 having none at all), it only outsold 4 by a million? Slay the logic bnpac

Reread the comment. I didn't even say or imply it outsold 4 by a million. Slay that reading compréhension rifan.

But they sold pretty much similar numbers WW, the only difference is that Rihanna had NO backlash, and needed Kanye West & Paul McCartney to do it. Sit back, you dumb bitch. Be thankful that streams from Work are pushing your fave's album past ARTPOP'S opening numbers.

One Nation is so funny too. How many threads have you made about Gaga and the 99 cent deal? Or about her "buying" awards and accolades, etc? But when your fave ACTUALLY buys her success you not only look the other way, but question why it wouldn't count as actual sales. Oh, Navy
