There appear to be two or three windows—Dec. 4, 11 and possibly the 18th—and the prognosticators believe a first week of 300k could knock Adele off the top perch.
Considering their respective sales histories, Beyoncé has shown she can hit or surpass the magic number, while Rihanna’s previous five releases have averaged under 200k.

And although Kanye is not hot record-wise, he should still outsell Rihanna, whose forthcoming album has no vibe yet.
Anyway, Santaus was wrong about Bieber. Anti got more headlines/searches than Purpose . The latter got official date, nudes scandal and everything else.
I'm so mad at her for just dropping a bomb then just disappearing.
Sales....the window for a blockbuster album passed months ago (esp. considering she's not going to do crazy tons of promotion). It'd kind of be ANTi to do crazy tons of promotion because that's what people expect...but maybe because we know she doesn't do tons of promo...she will end up doing tons of promo
I'm more worried about the reception/album. She kinda set herself up with the ANTi thing. It can't be too ANTi that it turns into an ANTi-POPART experimental kinda mess but at the same time...if the album can be easily defined as Rihanna album...it kinda goes against the whole message.The critics can really use it as a point of dragging. I'm not saying the album will be trash but the title sets a tone so she has to get it just right.
All this talk about Anti being a future flop makes me wanna... Let me not.
So what if the album is gonna be a major flop? Rih be like: been there, done that. *music of the sun*
. The latter got official date, nudes scandal and everything else.
