Is Prism really expected to open with less numbers than Cher Lloyd's album in the UK?
To be fair Chav was actually relevant here when that album came out though (even though most people rightfully hated her). She was quite big after X Factor.
But to be fair Beyonce milked Single Ladies for a looooooooong time, if Rihanna milked her songs like that she would have lots of songs with some more millions sales.
Tons of songs have sold many more millions WW in the years after their release (Lose Yourself has sold 5 million in the US alone in the digital age) but the Hive is the only fan base that cares to estimate and brag about them, because Pepcé her normal receipts aren't enough to compete with the first and second tier girls, they have to be inflated in some way.

So Cher Lloyd at her peak is bigger than Katy at her peak?
