But I thought she is the global superstar who is not some local artist releasing selftitled albums. She's so global and so popular and so recognized. Yet she sells 125k. How much did Britney sell with her last album?

She is... as dhe is getting you pressed with her sales. XO babe

Yeah right. 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. Let's stay on topic. Awful numbers.

Is just pathetic to see people dragging Rihanna when their pop girl is is hardly even the 5% of relevant than Rihanna is. Under this circumstances they would sell what 15k? LOL

But well this is ATRL.

Mess.

[CarterTax]

TTT (which launched after WFL) had first week sales of 198k
Loud (which launched after OG and WMN) had first week sales of 207k
Unap (which launched after Diamonds) had first week sales of 236k

ANTi (which launched after a giveaway of 1M copies) will have first week sales of ~125k

This number is not some tragic number that people are trying to make it out to be considering the lack of a hit sing and the weakened sales climate, and the fact that her previous six albums launched in November v Feb.

The haters are so pressed as a panini! Go Rih!

I mean 125K just on itunes and streaming is nowhere near bad...

1.000.000 FREE COPIES were given away 3 days ago.

And The physical album is coming this friday

People can always download the music for free though it's not that hard.....and it was free in TIDAL that nobody uses.....if someone wants to buy the music he will buy it....ok if there was a physical release too then the numbers would be A LITTLE bit better but still...

[Desert Rain]

The individual on the right gave away 1 million free copies of his album and still sold over 500k first week.

Rihanna will sell 125k.

The individual on the left surprise released an album and still sold over 400k copies in the first day.

Rihanna sold 460.

And mess @ people hopping over the fact that it will go #1. Without any big hits.

[nihility]

She'll exceed expectations. She has already broken one of the biggest records of all time with Anti.

[MANUELF]

80k pure sales?

She's got 200M records to fall back on and she typically does well over time thanks to her endless streaming/radio support.

Counting her out in the first week is foolish when almost every stanbase thought her career was over for 90% of Rated R.

I'm the first to admit I'm glad she flopped because she has two more #1s in continental Europe than my fave, almost as many records sold, etc. but she's come back from way worse
