The critics don't really like Shakira and Blake's "Medicine," but it's one
of the best cuts on "SHAKIRA." Should have been released as the first single.
Unapologetic had Diamonds become a #1 hit, Stay a Top 3 hit, Pour It Up a Top 20 hit, What Now / Right Now Top 40 hits, and additionally Lov7 Song became an Urban hit, The Monster went #1.
Has she even crossed 1.2/3M?
Meanwhile Bruno's singles performed similarly, and he's 2x Platinum. P!nk performed similarly and is 2x Platinum. Beyonce had 1 hit and is approaching 2x Platinum.
"We Found Love" literally spent 10 weeks at #1, and Talk That Talk didn't sell 1M and she didn't even open at #1. She could release 50 #1's on an album, and it would still fail to go Diamond.
Genuinely the definition of a horrible album seller.
Like everytime i got to Kworbs website she is above everyone except Katy sometimes
And TTT did sell 1 million but the prob was everyone illegally downloaded it so technically the amount of people that own talk that talk in the US is 2.5 million thats pretty good for this day and age
To be honest Rihanna's album sales are meh but her impressive single sales make up for it, I mean its insane the amount of hits she has. I think with another big hit she would become a Legend, the GP only cares about singles anyway.

That's funny you say than when LOUD debuted higher than TTT with just OG and WMN? Her eras are always sabotaged with laziness and not finishing ... LOUD and GGGB both promoted and finished properly and you see the perfect slayage ...
GGGB 2.8 9 WW up to par with her peers
LOUD 1.8 6 WW up to par with peer WW
And I hate how everyone pulls the "Rihanna doesn't try, Rihanna is messy excuses".
Umm, despite her not trying / having messy eras, don't her singles still go #1?
So shouldn't her album still be selling?
When you're "the biggest Pop-star in the world" how do you need promo to pull decent #'s, when Beyonce, P!nk, Bruno, etc can hit 2x Platinum with 90% less media (except for Beyonce, but she still has only performed 2 times so....).

...Vin
Every critic seems to hate that song It has potential but I don't think it would have worked as first single.
