She's doing this numbers with just ONE VIDEO and one month of promo, can't wait for R8's numbers with 4 singles and x4 of promo she will do like 20K more than Jackie the beyonce's puppet just can't win

... There's no way Rihanna sells 40,000. Keep the shade somewhat believable atleast.

[primo.]

The first problem was her releasing "I Bet" ( an urban song) as a lead single to her most pop-oriented album to date.

The first single should have been something that Top 40 would have levitated to.

And I was rooting for her. Oh well.

ciara really is way too underrated it's actually unfair and kinda confusing

Frankly it doesn't seem like she is trying hard enough sonically, her first crunk sound fit her so well, she just needed to evolve from that. And the era is confusing, the first single is a RnB ballad but almost all the album is pop?

Ciara fans that were trying with Rihanna. In the end Rihanna will open with at least 10x more.
The epic flop. When you think of it, Ciara stans got a reality check, a harsh one but they got it. Now hush and exit Rihana related threads, cuz there will be nothing more embarrasing for a mainstream artist than opening with 19k.

19k + 10*19k = 209k and 22k + 10*22k = 242k so she'll sell between 209k and 249K first week?

what I don't get is, why does someone like K. Michelle sell 90k first week, while Ci manages to crack the top 50 on the H100 & has a strong, loyal fanbase. someone EXPLAIN PLZ

Rihanna did like 200K or something like that (Less than ARTPOP) in her two successful eras with a Diamonds or WFL sized hit, now that she's flopping and fading she will do like 82-91K if lucky, and R8 probably got scrapped

1. TV show
2. Urban AC support
3. Non-confusing lead single

K. Michelle is an urban albums artist. Ciara is an urban singles artist.

I hope Navy is ready.

[Bee․]

Although the album is not even that solid, she doesn't deserve these low number of sales.

[Delicious]

Everytime we think Ciara hits rock bottom, she proves us wrong



The fact that she actually created some type of hype and played off her relationship for her first single and still sold less than her previous project

That's what you pray to happen but sorry, #R8 will do 150k at worst!!!
It's Rihanna after all! You like it or not! Stop being blind!
