What a stupid "logic" millions own albums before their release date due to leaking (free downloading).
But we know over 1.5m people own the album through purchase, and like I said, a Samsung purchase isn't important to Rihanna or her team. They still got their money, which makes it a success.
It's also still selling pretty well, so keep that in mind.
not really. it's a bit of an under performance but at the end iff it manages to sell about 600k it should be deammed a success and I have no doubt in my mind that she will eventually get to 600k in pure sales by the end of the era. I mean she is already at almost 300k pure sales in the US so...

And we know millions own albums due to leaking. Anti has sold 296k in the US and doing worst internationally. If Artpop is deemed as a flop, so is Anti which sold less.
Jay-z who currently is not as populair as Rihanna, gave it away for free and still ended up selling more then Rihanna will. so how is that an excuse ?
Jay Z gave it away only to Samsung users, no? And didn't they have to have the option to download it? People had to go to Tidal for Rihanna's mess specifically.
Either way, Jay Z is a better album seller than most artists, including Rihanna so I don't know why you guys keep using him as a pawn of sorts
The Navy and their low standards :"), bragging about the lowest selling #1 album ever. the album is bombing hard in sales and im not even talking about ww sales which are beyond tragic , the Navy are trying so hard and i love it cause they re embarassing theirselves more and more :"""). You can try to save face as you want you wont convince anybody that this era isnt a HUGE underperformance for the so called Queen of pop....
For Rihanna fans, no, it's not. They're grasping at anything they can at this point, even an album selling 17,000 copies despite having a #1 single.
Looking at the numbers, even with streaming, it's a complete bomb. Less than 300,000 pure sales and less than 700,000 sales with streaming added despite a #1 single. TRAGIC.
Not to mention how poorly the tour is doing. This era is bleeding money for everyone involved.
