The haters are really trying to go out of their way to drag a future #1 album like... I'm confused how you drag an album that tops the billboard charts but I digress

[iHype.]

Wow, this is outright terrible.

Jay-Z did over 500K in sales first week while giving 1M copies of his album too. He also had no hit at the moment, whereas Rihanna had a new high-profile collaboration with an extensive radio deal.

Some people aren't meant for these type of deals I guess. Hopefully she's learned and can comeback solid with R9. And mess at no promotion, Samsung spent $25 million... are you suggesting that only went to those 1M albums? They paid $25 for each album?

And it's so funny you're bringing up all of that now, but yet when those things were occurring y'all still said Anti would've been her least successful era.

Bye.

First of all, i never said ANTi will be her least successful era. As a matter of fact, i've never spoken about ANTi's success before. And second, who's ''y'all''? Are you referring to the Hive? Because I'm no Hive. I don't stan for Beyonce. I just respect her as an artist, and I enjoy everything music related.
But, drag me i guess??

Please re read the last couple of pages and rethink your plain stupid argumentation

Welp this is not good, but could be worse too so yeah.

Like, it really is just indefensible. I am flabbergasted at the flimsy apologetics on display. Your girl done underperformed, flopped, some would say. Bow out and hope she does better next time instead of grasping at straws.

The 1m copies were given away around the world and considering Rihanna's often cited 'globalness' I'd venture to guess that the great majority of them were downloaded outside the US. Meaning the giveaway affected her sales - but just barely.

Secondly, sub 100k pure sales is not a good look at all for an artist of Rihanna's stature. Not sure why the Navy is being so cavalier about these alarming sales.

Hmmm. I'm gonna assume since the Recoding Industry Association of AMERICA certified her album PLATINUM (in eight days less than it took your fave, hence her now being the fastest black woman to do so) that America is prooooooobably where those downloads occured. But ya know, slay those assumptions and geography.

"Y'all" as in anyone who dragged and shaded her before the albums release.

Y'all are confusing me, was the Anti era a mess or not?

Because y'all are making it out to be this perfect era with no flaws and exceptional promo.

Where did I say if the promo was flawless or not? Because I didn't. I simply said this whole "no promo" comment being thrown around in here is False. This r8/anti era in fact had promo.

[iHype.]

I don't care people have already said this, stop telling me lol. It doesn't make the numbers any less tragic.

And if you're gonna cite 'physical release' as the excuse for Rihanna doing 400K less, than next week I am expecting some skyrocketing numbers when the physicals are out.

25M are meant for the tour.

Screaming at "performances" when last time she performed was on March, songs that were not even included in the album.

Antidiary being promotion? Even you all said nobody cared about, not even Navy cared about it. Worst campaign ever.
Plus it had nothing to do with the album tbh.

But according to Tidal, she sold 400k with no physical release in the worst sales month of the year. If anything she should sell more on iTunes. Seeing that it's a much much bigger company.

Sis no one is concerned about what you're expecting. We're just letting you know that your argument was already clocked, and the sales are in line with previous Rihanna releases.

Y'all dragged ARTPOP but it looks like ANTI can't even have bigger sales than a jazz album

C2C actually had a physical copy out. Your argument is cancelled.
