Rihanna is the loser of the week and Lady Gaga is fading!
Quote:
LOSER OF THE WEEK: The week. After Black Friday, it turns out, nobody feels like shopping anymore, at least for a few days. So the annual music-sales plunge takes a few strong releases with it – Taylor Swift's Red drops 26 percent, to 137,000; One Direction's Take Me Home drops 48 percent, to 92,000; and Rihanna's Unapologetic, Number One last week, loses 70 percent and tumbles to Number Six. I'm still confused about this Rihanna business. It's a slow week, she's more of a singles artist than an album artist and album sales overall are tough these days. But she's Rihanna – the world's biggest pop star after perhaps Adele, Taylor Swift and a fading Lady Gaga. (Who else is bigger? Bieber? Britney? Eminem? No way.) Rihanna should be much better at selling albums.
