That's good!
And this is where Rihanna being a worldwide artist comes into play. Nickelback may have debuted ahead of her on the Billboard 200, but worldwide their first week sales were 150,000 units below Rih's.

A week like this almost makes me wish I was in the Navy. So many ups and downs!

Not too shabby but I expected around 700K.

Why are people laughing? It's 100K more than Loud's first week.

What the heck is funny to you all about 504K?

That means she sold about 150K outside of the US & UK, so she did great.

congrats Rih

OMG Mary

406K and a number 3 debut.

number one song and album QUEEN !

More than Loud

Cute.

Why are some of you guys laughing about 504K? Haven't any of you guys noticed how awful albums are selling these days for the exception of a few artist?

21 / 27
week 23 LMFAO - Sorry For Party Rocking
Interscope - 95.000

Yass.

Dead @ Nickelback. I really thought they were competition for her WW.

I was informed by the Navy yesterday that she would be sitting on a 600k+ debut

It's amazing considering 307k of these sales are not from the US sales.
