There is NOTHING to explain. That was a few hours worth of sales. Read the thread title. She's going to outsell your faves last three albums combined in one week. With a leak, no physical, and 1M copies given away for free already. Let that sink in.

Yep, the HDD clearly pointed out the SPS number is that high mostly thanks to Work.

BEYONCE
- Worldwide tour
- Super Bowl performance
- An actual good album campaign
- ALL iTunes banners
- 18 music videos
- December 2013
- Always a great first week seller
- Unexpected release

RIHANNA
- Disastrous months before
- 1.4M free giveaway promoted by herself
- Decent first week seller
- No iTunes banners
- January 2016

It's not that difficult to understand.

So you're summing up her attempt at trying to get a hit as Disastrous and doesn't wanna count it? While for Beyoncé you counted the Super Bowl and tour as promo for the album release?

The banners and the videos were her way to make her release visible and interesting for the public to BUY... on Rih's case that's the part where Samsung bought the album and she gave them for free. Both of them reached platinum very fast... so both wins, right?

Hmmm and that is all well and great but it's the finish point that matters not the starting point. With all the frontloaded sales (atleast WW) it ended up at roughly the same numbers as UA.
Beyonce has no song in the past decade that will be half as remembered as diamonds and stay.
And loud which opened at least 4 times smaller outsold it by a large margin.
And the praise was also frontloaded seeing as the album as a body of work failed to win any major award. The fact that it lost the grammy for best urban contemporary album,something that rih won effortlessly was a major kii.
What lesson did we learn today kids,it doesn't matter how you started the race all that matters is how you end it.

Despite a vexed rollout for her ANTI (Westbury Road/Roc Nation), Rihanna looks to be headed for a #1 album bow on this week's charts, with a likely 110k albums and 140-150k SPS (driven largely by sales of single "Work").

Stay tuned for updates.

Unless I missed an article..
