Rihanna even being close to #1 this late in the album's life cycle - almost two months - is actually very impressive, all things considered. Remember this is an album that had massive amounts of free copies distributed.
All they see is "460" in "one week" of sales after she gave away 1.400.000 copies.
but anti is a flop, lets not ever forget this..... 50k after 7 weeks on the chart, what a mess.
Not even, what, 300k pure sales after 7 weeks?

What kind of KWEEN!!!
Her actual sales are below 20k despite a #1 single.
I love Rihanna and I love ANTI but it is surviving just because of the FREE factor which is stream LOL... people might be paying to go to her shows and to buy her single, but the album sales are... well, cant find the word to describe it, but sure they are nothing to be proud of
having already sold 8M+ copies and still fighting for the #1... thats impressive
The way people are being so dumb about this
She gave away over 1.4 million copies for free before the album was available for purchase.
She has not had a single performance in the U.S
The album was released 7 weeks ago
Sales are pitiful considering Kendrick, who is an album seller is doing 18K in his 2nd week
The fact that anyone would try to downplay how great the album is doing everything considered

Sure
And Kendrick comparising makes a lot of sense. Anyone would expect 8 leftovers that he just put on an album cause LeBron James asked him to to keep slaying. Correct.
I think Rihanna is selling pretty well. Yeah, Work is the current #1 song there, but don't you guys forget that she gave her album for free, plus, she barely made any promo there.
The Anti tour will help keep her sales steady, though.
