well yeah I wasn't trying to imply that Rih would have performed better than Beyonce lol just that the way they handled the roll out and then abandoned any effort to promote the album or tour for that matter was pretty astounding....still not sure why SAMSUNG decided to promote the AntiDiary instead of the tour since they're also sponsoring the tour lol...I think LEMONADE will actually have some longevity with Sorry and maybe Hold Up being hits. I expect it to sell significantly better than ANTI cause I don't think Rih is gonna make any effort to extend this era unless of course she decides to go with a rerelease, kinda doubt that tho

If TIDAL was faking #'s, ANTI certainly wouldn't have done 460.

Some people just have power, some don't.

Why would they fake it for ANTI? It wasn't a TIDAL exclusive in perpetuity.

These fake #s will be a great news story for TIDAL, as well as the wife of TIDAL's main owner.

I totally bandwagoned Adele but the 25 era is a disaster. She's a parody of herself at this point.

Like...she's going to dance

Adele to deliver choreography

Meghan's impact. She clearly saw the NO video and was inspired.

Why aren't streams averaged across the album for SPS?

Or are they?

Didn't Billboard/HDD call out tidal when they claimed TLOP was streamed like 250M times in a week?

That number never went through Soundscan.

Like when they said ANTI sold 400K in a day, but 460 copies went through Soundscan.

TIDAL claims fake #'s, but the ones Soundscan reports are real.

The streaming numbers seem extreamly fishy indeed. I'm not sure what TIDAL counts as a stream but it's definitely not the entire song being played.

Their streams are legitimate, lol.

Prince's albums for example are only available on TIDAL.

His streaming #'s last week:
#1 Prince - Very Best of Prince - 179,206 (100,174) [292,343]

#2 Prince - Purple Rain - 69,092 (62,544) [71,180]

Terrible #'s. His whole discog only got <500K streams on TIDAL, which is realistic flop #'s.

Lemonade just outsold Anti in 4 days. There's no competition whatsoever here, don't try it.

Any moment now, Adele is going to start going full Jennifer Lawrence on us: "Where's the pizza!?"

I love RihLORD but Lemonade will destroy ANTI fw and overall. Let's not kid ourselves.

Beyonce will "triple" Anti's sales in this next month or two. She is practically double already. After that, her album will fall off too especially without Spotify. Rihanna's will keep selling like molasses. By December, Lemonade and ANTI will not be that far off.

Terrible #'s, they didn't bother fabricating and his albums are TIDAL exclusive.

yea thats realistic when you have an album like UNA opening with a third of of ST. Not with Lemonade opening with 5 times as much and anti selling peanuts.

Unlike Meg though, I personally think Adele will kill whichever choreography is set for her. She seems like one of those unexpected types.

Lemonade>anti>TLOP> views.

i dont even love anti views is really bad, easily drakes worst and least inspired record. A bunch of trend hopping and cliche drake-isms fueled by nothing but hype
