I hope Jay doesn't use such sinister tactics with Beyoncé. Her first week sales are going to be great considering how beloved her last two albums have been.
Every time someone says something like this I'm reminded of that meme
Jay: Bey can you leave the part where I *** too early on your dress?
Yoncé: No.
Nobody beside a few hyper-deluded Rihanna stans actually believe the 1 million+ figure is valid. I bet a few Navi stans in here know that it's a load of crap but clings onto it because it's all they have to make the era look valid, but still. It must be pretty tough to engage in stan wars when you're barely hanging onto a joke of a certification that counts even illegal downloads
The cold, hard facts are that ANTI will likely debut below 130k and was given away for free because that was the only release strategy they could follow to make the messy ANTI era look like some sort of success. It'd be hardly surprising if the album failed to outsell Britney Jean.
I'm glad I have the brainpower to realize ANTI hasn't sold (legal definition of "selling", for you Rih stans: "give or hand over something in exchange for money") 1 million+ copies because I'm not a dumbass.
