For me, both are important, album sales maybe even more so than singles, but at the end of the day, I'm British. So I care more about UK sales anyway, because that's what's going to affect the music on the radios I hear, and the TV channels I see, and the venues Rihanna plays at here.
!!! "A number 1 album in the U.S is LOOOOCAAALLL"
But then you never stop hearing " 11 #1 singles in the U.S"
EDIT: I don't mind bragging but why use one and not the other?
I am not interested in a hit thread, you seem a little angry right now, it's a FAIR question and no shade is being thrown at all at Rihanna. I see my irrelevant ass had you coming to this thread.
