Lord Jesus, by that logic the 2 million+ albums Adele sold don't matter.

Who's logic?

But shes promoted as an American artist, is signed to a US label and whether you guys want to admit it or not most would consider the US her domestic sales. Justin Bieber isnt from the US either but since everything he's done since getting signed has been released and marketed to make it big in the US it's still his main demographic. And that's: regardless of the fact that he's super successful worldwide

Keep trying all you want , truth is she's from barbados and she has accent #deal

Well, we don't care about Rihanna's opening week, if that's seriously all you're referring to with this thread, because her first week sales have never and likely will never be large in the United States. She always sells in the long run, but why would we care or make a fuss over the fact that her predictions were low if they always are?

Exactly. Not having a number one hasn't stopped GGGB from selling 2.5+ million, Rated R from selling 1 million, Loud from selling 1.5 million, etc. I mean she may not be selling as much as her contemporaries first week, but if shes selling as much as them if not more at the end of the day, then what exactly is the big deal?

It's not just first week sales sis, I understand that Rihanna's first week sales are always low and very unimpressive for someone who has been in the game for six years, racked up 11 #1s, racked up four Grammys, and has several hit tours under her belt.

The Navy has a tough time holding an argument that doesn't contradict itself.

"Well, Man Down didn't do well in the states" "**** YOU IT DID #1 SOMEWHERE OVERSEAS WHEN YOUR LOCAL FAVE GAWN DO IT"

"Well, What's My Name didn't do too well worldwide" "SHUT THE **** UP IT WENT #1 IN THE US RIHANNA IS PERFECT"

"Well, TTT didn't hit #1 in the US, like you all said it would" "GURL STFU WE GOT THE UK #1 AND THATS WHAT MATTERS MOST IS THAT OUR ARTIST AIN'T LOCAL"

They praise their artist for being a worldwide success, yet they spend all of their time focusing on local accomplishments, until there's that one little accomplishment that Rihanna hasn't hit yet, and suddenly it's all about how Rihanna is a worldwide phenomenon.

I'm just trying to understand what your point is. That comment put me under the incorrect impression that you were only referring to first-week sales.
