Which is totally fine in my opinion. Circus didn't have to combat with leaks, piracy etc...LOUD was the most illegally downloaded album of 2010...

but I mean, Rihanna can sell albums very well especially outside of the US, look at the UK, but she doesn't generally OWN it in the US market...

I mean you wanted to shade Madonna and Britney right?.

well I wasn't talking about the US alone, I mean Rihanna has released 6 albums and 4 of them has sold less than "Circus" and "Hard Candy" WORLWIDE.

and all recent albums had to combat with leaks and piracy

I just think Rihanna would have even better sales if she takes some time between albums. just saying

She should just start releasing small EPs as singles. 2-3 tracks with each single release throughout the year.

She should just collaborate with M.I.A and Azaelia and pay Nicki and Jay dust. I'm here for groundbreaking, legendary **** not ****ing Raining Men. Talk That Talk was cute, but the Jay/Ri thing is stale or may Jay is just stale... IDK

If I recall correctly, I wasn't trying to shade anyone. I have all of their albums in my iTunes.

I was only comparing the albums, no matter what the position was far as charting at #1 or even #6, the sold around the same, if not the latter sold more...

The fans made those albums seem like something stellar, and all weren't.

4 is Bey's best album though.

[MrHiphy]

Yes. Why? Because the general public doesn't even know what album she's on and her single sales are in the pits compared to some of her competitors.

I can't tell you how many of my cousins have come over my house, saw my TTT CD, and ask "What is this?"

I thought she said she was spending the year finding NEW producers to work with.

You think so? I like it, but Dangerously In Love is my fav.

Aight then congrats to them. Didn't really know, but FF, 4 and MDNA underperformed in my opinion. The fans made those albums seem like something stellar, and all weren't.

on a broader level, Pop girls struggle really when it comes to album sales now

Adele is another story...

I really don't understand what is your point on bringing Madonna, Beyonce, and Britney to this thread.

Madonna has a 25 years career.

and Britney and Beyonce 15 years of career, I think is normal and Ok if they underperform sometimes.

I mean I hear her working with new tea this time around, but I've honestly been paying it dust for the most part. I'm rebelling against this hoe. She needs to sit the **** down. I swear every time I hear about a new Rihanna album, my response is "Bitch... Again!?" and I'm a BIG fan of hers.

[Tra.cëë]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

As long as each album sells 1 million before the ERA is up, keep on pushing out albums. That's how I feel. No use to waiting, Now if the album flops HARD, then YES! Stop and re-think things. But every since AGLM they've all gone to sell at least 1 million, so why stop now?

I need her and Kanye to make illuminati magic together.

[BSPEARSUK]

I think she should release her 7th album mid 2013 (June-July) so she has a year to work on it rather than rushing it like TTT. Tbh... I can't get enough of Rihanna so an album a year I'm happy with!

Femme Fatale is a good Britney album. So I agree

But 4? 4 is such an amazing album. I never was a fan of Beyonce but 4, I have to say is her best album. It's one of the best albums released last year.

[UnusualBoy]

I think that she shouldn't release the album in that damn week or per year tbh but watch them doing so.

I was comparing the chart runs....Ya'll are so concerned about an album reaching #1, yet some #1 albums don't even sell as much as an album that charted at #30...so that's all i'm saying. I'm not comparing them as to which flopped the hardest...

Everyone wants a #1 album from Rih, but that honestly doesn't matter..

Nah I need her and 'Ye to **** and then make a sex anthem about it Or her and 'Ye need to get married and she needs to make a whole album talking about his dick game and their love for one another .

I'm going to have to go listen to it again then, everyone seems to praise it! I love some songs, but let me go give it a fair chance again!

That sounds a bit mediocre, and basic, just get the 1M mark , the platinum certification and thats it while your album doesn't flop hard.

I mean It wouldn't better if she has more eras and albums like "Loud" (success-wise) ?
