The girls really in here trying to rewrite historRIH like she ever opened up with over 300k
Her highest first week sales was under 240k, the second highest was 207k, and the albums that launched after "Umbrella" and "We Found Love" both launched to sales under 200k for their respective albums. Now all of a sudden with no hit single BEFORE the album and no physical copies, she is supposed to shift 300k+ pure sales?
Girls, y'all need to stop trying to make these numbers seem to be some sort of tragedy, when these numbers are about typical for this time and for this artist.
And she's never had a problem selling albums after her first weeks... Remember she's gotten the platinum plaque SIX times before with her previous six albums.
tl;dr
Have a seat.
