Discussion: Why are ARTPOP/4 flops but ANTi isn't? - Page 8

Oh this is why those two fanbases feel the need to be entitled to drag Rihanna.

Y'all talking about "ANTI hardly received any drags on here"., when y'all dragged it to hell and back the week of it's release.

4 is an underpeformance, ARTPOP is a downright flop.

People acting like Drake was the reason for Work's #1.

When was the last time he scored a #1?

Oh.

Technically, all albums are on the internet for free. Don't see how this is an excuse.

Fact remains that ANTI has still not matched ARTPOP and 4's first week sales after a month on sale and a #1 hit.

And don't you forget that!
No remix necessary!

it was the 14th biggest song of 2015

the world where it's a RIHANNA lead (the standard) single, after a then 2.5 year break (wait, demand, hype) , that featured 2 legend artists (both more global than she), performed on the world's biggest music stage (grammy's, major promo). Not including it's radio deal (payola) and video (additional promo).

A good quarter of them would have bought. Even a third. And that alone is more than 250K. But at this point, no need for hypotheticals.

If ARTPOP was a downright flop why has Anti Anti still not outsold it yet? Let alone to outsold it in full, hell it has not even outsold ARTPOP's first week sales in USA

What does that make Anti?

Digitalism

ARTPOP and 4 were front loaded and only bought by their huge stanbases. Outside their stans nobody listened to those albums because of the lack of hits. They are flops because they made no impact
Anti is being bought by the GP and work is viral so people will remember it

This is like your 4th meltdown over ANTI and why people aren't dragging it. You need to find some **** to do & quickly. You're imploding. Crumbling, even.

I can understand his frustration. When Gaga flopped everyone knew it, the media was reporting it, and she was a mess on Twitter.

But Rihanna is underperforming and no one outside of ATRL is making a big deal out of it.

Wasn't Drake's previous single, HB, a monster hit on streaming and radio? He's also very viral. Her team knew exactly what they were going for with the Drake collab

Any other song on that album released as the lead single wouldn't even come close to Work's streaming #s

And don't you forget your #1 won't outsell Top 5 peaking hits
