So is Samsung the reason why the album is local? ...Maybe she should've went with Apple.

half of the albums sales is from the usa so its still not local its just underperforming everywhere. Due to a number of factors, but mainly the album rollout was a mess.

No, it's not. Most of those users of that game are making pointless threads.

Clearly you don't find it pointless since you came in here to contribute to the convo.

actually its not. A local artist sells more in their base market more than they do ww. Rihanna is the top 5 of the biggest selling female artists, has sold more albums than any other female since her (think only adele and taylor have sold more) debut and 2/3 of that total is from outside america! I know the hive would kill me but in comparison beyonce has sold 2/3 of her total album sales in america and lets not even mention taylor.

Bey has sold 15m in the US and 32m WW as a solo artist. Not exactly 2/3, sis.

I hope she recovers from this since she's a lovely artist. Maybe ANTi was just a misstep sales wise. From down there is no way but up!

The value and relevancy of music sales is declining fast.

But, Rihanna was said to be in the top 5 biggest selling female artists - according to a post in this thread - along with artists such as Taylor & Adele, now if they can beat the whole streaming service thing & sell amazingly why can't Rihanna since she's nearly on the same level with them?

Yes, she's local.

Remember when Rita was promoted as the new Rihanna back in 2012? What went wrong?

Maybe because of FIRO's amazing promo & attention she received the spotlight went off of Rihanna and onto her? Since FIRO is global.
