I didn't put Talk That Talk (song) in my top 5 because even though its catchy as hell. I hate the arrangement. The song basically ends after Jay's verse and it made it seem like Rihanna was the featuring act and she only had 1 short verse.His verse was longer than hers.

It should have been:
Ad libs
Rih's verse
Rih's Hook
Jay's Verse
Rih's Bridge
Rih's Hook

Oh here we go. ATRL is about to pop off. Well atleast she debuted in the top 3.

I'm already over this album. Next album please!

And it will still outsell the large majority of other albums released this and next year.

I hope it flops so shell take a ****ing break.

197K awesomeeeeee.
Seriously after 6 albums, everyone who wants to talk about **** about her opening numbers just make themselves look silly. Rihanna has longetivity and sells over a long period of time.

It's really not all that bad... It's going to be in the charts for such a long time, I'm sure.

Leave this thread and never return.

True.

mte.

She can take a brake of her own accord, she's not stupid. She knows when it's necessary for her to slow down, she doesn't need a flop to show her that.

The fact of the matter is, she's not going anywhere. She's going to be sticking around, don't you worry.

How is this embarasing? She had NO promo. Did you really expect more?

I want her to fully promote this era and then take a big break.

She really gave me sexy rih on this album and I've wanted it for a while...so I'm satisfied. I'm a huge rihanna fan but even I want her to sit back sometimes and enjoy what she's done instead of just hopping from one era to the next.

RR was so worth the wait...I wouldn't mind a wait like that for the next album

Exactly. Seriously, a lot of people probably don't even know she has a new album out yet. She's far from done.

y'all know bitch's sales are gonna pick up again as sonn as she releases that third single WHYB. I don't think people have been really meshin with YDO but WHYB will slay. domestically and internationally. get ready ladies.

The only thing that will "ruin" total sales, is Google's promotion.. Rihanna's always a safe to go platinum, regardless of her opening week numbers.

Nickelback only sold 225K and it's #1 It's dissapointing too

I'm here for "Katy promo" in January so she could get that #1 album after all!

Exactly. All the sales were disappointing.

i wanna hear the talk that talk chean version

I think 197k is a very good debut seem as she did no promo and released so soon after Loud. She will sell more in the long run...at least 8x times more so that is all that will matter in the long run. Also don't forget about her non-us sales which others don't have.
