Obviously not. Nowhere close.

The era has yet to produce an actual hit. Drunk In Love's position was definitely rigged, there was n way it could have gone to #2 that week with it's low radio and streaming points.

Also, the album has been incredibly local. So yes, it was a flash in the pan era even if the album did sell a lot.

LMAO what? It had the highest streaming points for like 2 months straight and higher radio AI than Gaga's biggest radio hit: Applause.

[Sensation]

Think it depends on how many hits she is able to produce with the album.

[Shinning]

Nope, I predict 2.5 million max. Regardless of how good its singles do.

[ImmaSlave4u]

So more than one top ten hit?
Rih could do that in her sleep.

[J-esper]

singlewise it will lol, albumwise, no!

She has done ALL of that with her last era. And the era before. And the era before. And...

R8 will follow

[Nemo]

Only the singles.

[Nikolai.]

It won't be bigger than Prism

[alestevens]

It wont be the biggest of 2014 because it aint coming in 2014

[Mr.Link]

Not when it will sell like 1/4 of its opening sales with thrice as much the promo.

So you're basically proving that it had a weak radio/sales ratio.

[Doogle]

Probably. I predict similar album sales, bit less for Rih (obviously Bey will win US) and then Rih will win on singles. As an "event" BEYONCÉ wins because very few albums have that kind of impact, no matter how shortly it lasts. Kind of over the comparison though, both slay.

MESS @ Drunk In Love's position being rigged. It had poor sales but streaming helps all our faves, trying to argue against its peak is so petty.

Tgis thread has been done SO many damn times.

You do realise that ever since AGLM Rihanna has literally always sold like 2M outside the US, right? So I'm almost sure that she will sell 1.6M outside the US.

girl you just took my post out of its contest and ran with it.

[idkher]

Yes that's not hard for Rihanna at all, every album she has released this decade has outsold Beyonce's last little effort and had 20x more single success

[Teezy]

SELF-TITLED is more memorable than ALL of Rihanna's last 7 albums, why would Rihanna's next 8th album change anything?

[Last Boy on Earth]

Yes, not like it's hard.
