LMAOOOOOOOOOO this is what happens when yall think ur a label offical executive.
i.m.o ALL OF THESE ARTISTS ARE GREEDY AND STUPID..WHY THE HELL WOULD U RELEASE UR ALBUM ON A DAY WHERE EVERY1 IS GOING TO RELEASE IT..AT LEAST DO IT A WEEK B4 THEN THE 2ND WEEK UR SALES will be higher lmao ..
Mary could of been #1 if she released it a weak after, Rihanna could of been #1 3 times if her label released her album 1 week before or after.
1 day i'm actually going to work for a music label.I will be in charge of choosing album release dates lmao
Rihanna is a force outside the US. Rihanna can only sell singles in the US. She's actually still a single artist in the US. Her album sales show that. Loud sold 6M+ WW but 5M+ is from outside the US and only 1.5M is from the US.
If Rihanna was selling under a million records I might be more inclined to agree. I'm sorry but selling 6 million records is more important than getting a #1. IMO only stans care about #1's so they can throw it in people's faces and use it as bragging rights.
Flash in the pans get #1's and then fade away into obscurity. That's the difference between people like them and Rihanna.
LOL at the "ain't this a black Friday release" comments. Is mother****ing Friday here yet? No. See if their predictions increase between Friday - Monday. Black Friday and Cyber Monday in theory should increase sales all around.
Uhm who cares about first week sales? She always ends up going platinum or more in the U.S. Rihanna just doesn't have the kind of crazy must-get-album-as-soon-as-its-out type of fans. Others have debuted higher than her, and sold less in the end.
After her track record of platinum albums and singles, people really care about first week sales?

You tried though.
I'm sure that's factored into these predictions though...
I agree. I mean GGGB had Umbrella, and the other albums too had smash singles. Rihanna is one of music's biggest stars, and the fact that she STILL can't make a #1 album it's just so crazy.
