Correct!

She's doing 400k.

I highly doubt she's doing anything over 250k, TBQH, but I wouldn't mind being proven wrong.

Does "over-perform" mean hitting #1 in the US, rather than her customary #2?

I don't know if the possibility has been raised, but could "over-perform" refer to WW sales, not necessarily US exclusively?

HDD is all about the USA...

[Mean Trees]

Didn't HDD over predict Lana Del Rey and Christina Aguilera??? Because they initially were WAY off.

[BeamMeUp]

One side of me doesn't want her to get that number one album. Everyone's focusing too much on that. If she doesn't get #1 and still smashes and has longevity, how can people call her a flop?

But if she does get that #1, the pressed will have several seats. Exciting nonetheless.

I REALLY want this for her.

It's a really lose-lose situation here with her detractors which is why they have to make such a big deal of something so frivolous as debuting at #1 in one country.

It's pretty clear the album isn't gonna flop. So she doesn't get the #1 (or does), what does that mean? Anyone trying to deny Rihanna's success the last couple years without it is beyond delusional.

I see HDD tries to put on a hype again.

*giggles hysterically* Over-performing album, #1 in 43 countries, smash over-performing stadium tour going on sale this week, WW smash, WW hits, i mean, i really cant keep count.

You must be dyslexic.

[Disturbia]

How is 240-260k an over-performance since her label wanted her to pull at least 270k (according to HDD)?

Agreed, It's just a PREDICTION. Just because it looks like the artist is doing well, they predict the album will. Like I said, it happened with Katy in her last era when her single was hitting number one second by seconds, but when the album came the prediction was incorrect by miles.

They predicted those numbers a month before the album was released tho
