She's released in November the past two times, on heavy new release weeks. She is not the type of artist who has massive first sales week, longetivity is usually more on her side. But even with 206K she could've been #1 on many, many other weeks.
But we see that her label don't care about a #1, they're not for number albums...they could have released the album in January, they care about sales = where she's weak over here and has always been. She's released in August, May, June before they realized that her sales are always lackluster here; so thats why NOV/DEC is now their focus, when album sales are bigger.
Not really. Only recently it seems that way, but the sales are so low. GGGB was barely pushing 1,000,000 before the re-release. Rated R just actually sold 1,000,000 a couple months back. Loud will reach it by March since her sales are so low.
I never said Britney wasn't a legend, so your efforts in Reading Comprehension also failed. Nice to know. What I did was simply back up my fave, Rihanna, and tell you why will be the biggest . It's up to you to accept it, or not... but I've already moved on
You compared her to Britney and said "that every thing Rihanna does worldwide from now on will forever be bigger than Britney."
Rihanna never managed to crack over 300K in her first week and she had more promo than Britney every time. Britney sold 411K in a week while siting at home, doing nothing. How about that?
Of course Rihanna will be forgotten, and her hits won't sell for years to come, and all those #1's she had will just fade away like they never happened... and then she will be shipped back to Barbados where she will work night shifts at the local Roti joints. Yes, all very possible
You haters are just... smh. She's sold 20 millions within the last 5 years, let's not matter about the album releases -- because 2 albums had 2 singles; let's just focus on the time. New album or not = if the public's not interested they won't buy it...and world wide? They've bought it.

I think it's great Rated R made it to 1,000,000 at all (that album had longetivity - at least good enough). Loud is having similar longetivity & I don't think it's going to stop selling anytime soon (1.2-1.3 million at least).
The rerelease is what catapulted GGGB to its success level.
