Despite giving 1.5 million albums away for free and having no single no promo no nothing?

Well, according to the navy, Rihanna is a legend so it would make sense that she would be able to outsell Zayn who didn't promote his debut album and Meghan who's album is an abomination.

Talent always wins. Outselling some of the blockbuster albums despite giving 1.4 million copies away for free and with a single barely released only a day before the album.

Talent won, that Rihanna regin won't let up, etc

From being a "#1 global megastar, worldwide icon and continuously growing brand" to barely outselling D-listers. Pathetic.

All of the above except Anti Diary.

Are those her peers now?

Interesting. Very interesting.

+ it will most likely outsell Ariana first week too

You know something is VERY wrong when the Navy, who have spent years bragging about Rihanna being the most global pop star on the planet, are comparing her album sales to Zayn (a new solo artist) and Meghan Trainor.

Rihanna is above them.

Key word here: 1.5 millions FREE downloads linked by Rihanna herself

She released it for free and had Samsung to buy her album because she knew the numbers would be more disapppointhing than usual without any smash hits, that's why it was delayed after 3 underperforming singles.

So the free copies have increased from 1.4M to 1.5M? And why are you surprised? Rihanna is at 10 years in her career while Zayn and Meghan have recently debuted!

Why is Rih even compared to these two newbies ?

Cause she's bigger than them...

Rihanna is honestly just a have step above Miley/Ariana/Selena/Demi/Meghan at this point along with Gaga. She's not really competing with Taylor/Adele/Beyonce/Katy

I absolutely adore how the pressed completely ignore the 1.4 million free copies

Talent always win.
