I'm fine with Rihanna and how stable LOUD is! However, I don't get it, why isn't she increasing?? she needs to promote!! Saturday she finishes filming for a while, so maybe she has some promo lined up! She need be 700k by the end of the year!! She can do it, with some promo. Look at how well she's selling WW! the US needs to catch on!!!
Yeah I wonder what Loud would have done with such promo.
If Rihanna had only a quarter of Katy's promos she would have gone platinum next week or close to it. Katy made 5 promo stops this week. she is working those Grammy nods like hell.

I have a feeling that RIRi will do some crazy ass promotion!!! She never leaves us dry, so let's just wait!! Her label is being very smart with her right now!!
She opened with 207 K and 143 K second week. if she was promoting more she would have had over 100K every week after and next week. The week after Christmas she would probably sold enough to be certified platinum.
IKR? He might be doing 3 million in 2011 with My World 2, I see My World 1 possibly reaching 2 million. Acoustics might do Platinum after while. 3rd album... release dates better watch out.
she is working those Grammy nods like hell.
