Congrats to her I guess on those 2 payola fueled huge hits, one of which outsold Applause by less than 1m copies
Congrats to her too on that higher average gross, if only it could translate into demand and a bigger tour gross. Oh and nice excuse, care to show me this pollstar/billboard receipt about these merchandise sales? I don't accept your logic. Not that I'd be surprised she buried her in merchandise sales too.
Oh and cute, another factor we can't count. Last time I checked, Rihanna was still doing TV promo for What Now 1 year into her era meanwhile Dark Horse went #1 on Itunes before she bothered to perform it live. That's the difference. As if Rihanna would see slight success if it weren't for heavy airplay and promo
Oh and congrats on that non televised Grammy. I guess that's the only thing she might have over her this era.
