Bey did 310,000 when her album leaked an entire MONTH before release.
125k and possibly under 100k in pure sales is really meagre, especially for someone that the Navy claimed anticipation was at an all-time high.

Jay - 2013.
Bey - 2011.
Both didn't release in January, both had physical copies,both released in a much better sales climate, both (or only Bey) promoted the album with performances, both tend to sell more than her in debut weeks in US.
Talk That Talk sold 198k during Black Friday in 2011, following We Found Love. Stop doing the most.
If only every artist on here had it so easy with those low expectations. What a major flop! Hilarious seeing the Rihanna stans who try and drag other artists who sell way more than this trying to justify the numbers. 
We all know you would be coming for the other pop girl who you're desperately trying to bring into the conversation endlessly if she sold 100k or less, even under the same circumstances. She's still a major pop girl in your mind clearly! Let's stay on topic. Awful numbers for Rihanna.
