The Gift is #63 on pre-orders, I don't think she's competition.

Its position was 32k something yesterday. Yessss!! It's rising fast.

When is the UK release date for OG? They better wait till after the video has been out for at least a week, otherwise they will just continue her #2 curse, and she's unlikely to get a number 1 after the album has been released. Def Jam, I know you like to **** Rihanna up, but please don't mess the UK release up.

2 songs in the top 3! get it girl

yes only girl at no.3 on BILLBOARD HOT100

WE NEED TO MAKE IT No.1 WE NEED TO BUY BUY BUY AND REQUEST HARD!!! RIHANNA ANVY WHERE U AT?????

Fan cover of Who's That Chick I made :





I know it sucks

^ Thats really good. I like the purple effect, especially on her hair and dress

Anyways, LOUD isn't gonna debut at number one. Chart postions aren't that important when it comes to albums. I think it will open with 250K +.

Go Rih

This era will be the hottest mess ever if Who's That Chick isn't on this album in some form.
The mere thought of them wasting that anthem of my life on some stupid finger staining chips makes me want to die.

^someone needs to get fired over that.

I agree but I'll take them into my home and give them shelter for allowing such a masterpiece to enter my life. They're a true saint

I hope "Who's That Chick" isn't on the album

I can't wait to hear the first track on the album. I hope it's as epic as madhouse.

I don't think it is, they aren't that stupid

Let's not start with all these predictions ****. I've had enough with Rated R. The bigger our hope is, the more disappointed will we become. We all know Rihanna is more about longevity and I honestly don't expect big open week sales for Loud.

Just look what happen to Katy. Its really hard to sell albums these days.

Well let's be honest, Rated R was neither about opening week nor about longevity.

But I have higher expectations for Loud. It just seems more interesting and the first single is amazing (and more successful than Roulette).

On the other hand, nobody really knows about it. While Rated R had the interview as promo. So I don't know. Hope she opens with 200k at least.

I think the interview was more like a turnoff for people to buy Rated R. People hated her for doin' that interview. She'd probably open with 200K+ without the interview.

Huh? Who hated her? Some blogs or forums? That's not the general audience. I'm sure the interview was the main reason she sold a lot that week. Basically the only huge promo.
