It depends. She could easily do 190k+ in the first week in June-August. But with a HUGE worldwide smash single, she could probably pull sales similar to Talk That Talk. It depends on the circumstances, I guess. Good Girl Gone Bad was released in the first week of June in America, and it pulled 162k in the first week.
I doubt that holiday sales have
that much of an influence on Rihanna's sales, to be honest. Artists like Susan Boyle and Michael Bublé are more likely to double their sales during Black Friday. Rihanna's label is just dumb enough to release at this time, in hopes of having higher sales; when in reality, it could only be adding ~10,000 to her first week sales.
