The quoting of posts was kind of unnecessary, but congrats!

Brazil != South America, and only 1 of the comments actually mentioned Brazil... congrats tho

wow

We have Chilean and Argentinian posters on this board who have spoken on her fame there, I can pull out the receipts if need be.

Congrats

Oh, and can we please get into how We Found Love is one of the most successful non-Brazilian radio hits of 2011 there?

Congrats.

Do you sit around saving/bookmarking pages that have negative Rihanna comments on them, OP?

Congrats 2 Rihanna!

So how will these be factored into first week WW sales if the debut doesn't end until next week??

OOPS at the dragged users!
Congrats!

Well, GaGa dia 80k and Beyonce 100k in their first days.

Your point is invalid.

Brazil don't use her and aparently the USA don't use her as well....

No one said Brazil was her biggest market so the fact that Loud took a year to reach a feat that TTT did in 18 hours is impressive.

My point was just that all the quotes were about Rihanna's performance in South America in general, and this certification is just a sign of her doing well in Brazil, so you can't really extrapolate her being a force in all of South America from that. But I don't know how well she's doing in the other South American countries, maybe she's doing well there too, so it doesn't matter.

South America is one of the continents that counts shipments as sales, since they don't monitor actual raw sales data. This doesn't necessarily mean she sold that amount in one day. It more than likely means that is what the label shipped to them to distribute for further months at a later date. Either way congrats.

Probably next week.

Not really, considering that Loud took a year to do what TTT did in a day but okay.

Yes.
