Your faves have been pulling gimmicks for ages meanwhile Rih traditionally released seven albums. Imma need y'all to calm down.

one million downloads dont mean one million people tho...

But wait.....no one forced all these people to download the album? Samsung bought 1M copies, all of them were downloaded, and they won't even count towards Billboard. Why y'all acting like she cheated?

Even I downloaded it and I had not a single interest in buying it

I'm so confused why the gorls are so pressed. Rih got her money from Samsung, we got a free album.

Why the attempted failed drags and kiis? A free album is a breath of fresh air for the industry for a huge pop star, and that same pop star still lined her pockets. This should be a celebration on all fronts, not an attempt to turn this into a stan war.

What did you expect?

[giRLbye.]

the fact that it usually takes her close to a year to actually sell 1m but she did it for free in 15 hours....ha star power.

Didn't we all? It's free! I even had a disgusting tunna sushi at a local supermaket here once because they were giving it away for free... it tastes almost the same is ANTI.... but it was free

No it's not an indication of anything... who can say that if Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Taylor, Adele and all the major girls released the same way they wouldn't quadruple those numbers? We have no comparison data to make.

The fact is: she tried to make this sh*t happen throughout the ENTIRE 2015 (hence the promoted singles), she got lost in the process... Adele came back... she got even more lost... then the only way to save her a** was to play the "I don't care for charts... this is for my Navy only... here's ANTI for free" gimmick.

Navy brags so much about gimmick and Rihanna just played the worst of them all leaving her with a kinda-free album that will not sell much, no impactfull song, penned critically and forgotten by April...

And the fact that none of these will count towards Billboard or RIAA. Dropping her album for free was a bold & risky move, especially for a huge mainstream artist like her.

Jay Z did the same thing with Magna Carta Holy Grail.
