Another day, another wait.

Rih isn't doing 500k with a surprise release, tf?

I'm expecting 250-350k regardless of the release method. Her hype is gone so it'll just be the fans supporting her (unless she does an awesome campaign leading up to the release!)

Do you even know what "surprise release" mean? It means a few thousand fans going insane escalating quickly into million of bored people all over the mediasphere wondering what's going on and who wants to be part of the crazyness
And the only way to be part of the crazyness is buying the album since it's only available on digital stores.

It's called VIRAL

That's how Bey went from 280k for "4" to 1 million+ for "self-titled"

If the album is good I don't see why she wouldn't do 500k with a surprise, 500k is actually pretty weak considering the power the name "Rihanna" holds, everyone knows that name, and it's still synonym of cool, edgy, hype.
Don't let 7 years of overexposure and quick albums fool you, Rih always had weak first week sales because she didn't let people envy her, after the 5th album people were like: "a new Rihanna album! what a surprise! *bored* I'll get it when I have time, the last one I bought is still very new ..."
Even most fans reacted like that, even me (I never bought a physical Rih album on first week)



So yeah, you can disagree but "the f***" is not appropriate for what I just said, I'm not talking myths here

WaiT, i never realized she said this in the PUMA commercial
"To have the strength to cross oceans... and realize my dreams on the other side"

Another hint at R8 title or theme

I have a feeling the title will have the word Ocean or Sea in it
The gap between her old life and her new life IS the Ocean, and she's trying to make a bridge between Barbados and the US

The theme of Ocean/Sea is recurrent in her discography

Just lately in AO2: "Young girl hustling, on the other side of the Ocean"
ARAYM: "The Ocean crushed the shore and take us down furthermore"

Y'all really making me depressed.

To put it simply, for things to go viral people have to care. I don't think enough people care about a Rihanna album (in the U.S.) for her to do 500k, under any circumstances. She's always good at convincing people (longevity) but yeah. I don't see it. The only people who did numbers like that for surprise releases are Drake (he did his usual numbers) and Beyoncé (Blue Ivy + the super bowl + a year of hype and rumors) so again, how is Rih going to do that?

It's not like she'll be a trailblazer or anything. Why would a surprise release suddenly make people who've never taken her seriously or never listened to an album, suddenly buy it the first week? They might listen to a few songs, or stream it on Spotify/Apple music, but actually pay for? Lol.

[Tom Vercetti]

Rih just wants to be high by the beach. She'll unleash when she's ready.

[Ady.]

I would rather have R8 open with like 200k and the 2nd week drop to be like 1%.

She was never a gimmick artist.

Not far from 25 million in only 6 countries, I sorta believe she's sold over 30 million more albums globally.
And streams haven't been included for her albums either

@Chemical X: We'll see who's right if she does a "surprise release"
I'll never underestimate Rih, ha power, I know what she's capable of
