Not yet, its sales have been pretty good every week. 2x Plat maybe next week or the week after!

Rihanna isn't a seller. Her sales aren't great.

 I highly disagree with you on that. She is about to have 2x Plat songs from ONE album already. I do agree, WMN and OG didn't live up to the way I wanted things to do, but getting 2x Plat and Maybe 3x plat is a great thing. Not eveyone or every song can go 4-6x Plat. Other artists would kill to have sales like Rihanna, and get this, she hasn't even really promoted her songs enough, so I'm happy with the sales. I could see if she was pulling a Katy Perry and did lots of promo, and the songs didnt' sell, but thats not the case

Rude Boy was a number one single for weeks and it only went 2x platinum. Blah Blah Blah peaked at #07 and plumetted down the charts and it went 2x platinum.
What's My Name hasn't gone 2x platinum and it's HUGE on radio. Only Girl is nowhere near 3x platinum and it had so much hype, was discounted to .99 cents, promotion, bam, bam, bam. Rihanna's sales are really disappointing. Ke$ha, Katy and Gaga are all outselling her. Ke$ha has only performed We R Who We R twice and it's outselling Only Girl which has been out for two months longer than the former and was a number one radio hit.

WMN is selling quite well, especially with all the new songs entering in and out the top 10. Rude Boy?! Seriously, That song sold very well, I don't remember her promoted Rude Boy at all. Just one performance on Ellen, that's it. OG yes was discounted, and will reach 3x plat later this year, great sales. PROMO? ehh, nah, she only performed it three times, SNL (horrible) GMA (amazing) and AMA's! She didn't go all out and promote. Rihanna too be honest hasn't gone all out at all and promoted. When S&M drops we will see if it will live up to expectations!
I Do think that Cheers and CKB will end up being her TOP SELLING SONGS from LOUD! Maybe both 4x plat, but we will see!

Rihanna doesn't sell singles like Katy or Ke$ha, but I don't care because I don't think Rihanna has anything to prove about her singles success. The sales are good, just not great. OG is on its way to triple platinum, WMN? is doing 2.5 million at the very minimum (I'd say that song could make it to 3 million as well though - but we'll see. It has a ways to go). The only song that concerned me with its sales was Rude Boy because it spent 5 weeks at #1. Both OG & WMN? are going to outsell it.

i highly doubt Only Girl will make it to 3x platinum. WMN won't make it either.

And I'll be the first to say that both OG & WMN? were extremely lucky to hit #1. Especially OG, it beat out RYG by a hair. WMN? got released on the perfect week.

OG can make it, it's not completely out of the question. I think it will get there eventually, though it will be a while.

OG only reached #1 because of the discount. Had that not happened either RYG or G6 would have been on top. It was a smart move. Cheap, but smart. I don't think WMN?'s #1 was lucky at all. That was very well-deserved.

LOL! Come on guys. This is unnecessary.
I hope WTH debuts in the Top 20 at least. I don't think its sales will be enough for a Top 10 debut.

Top 20 for sure ! It all depends on how well she can maintain her position on iTunes bc she isn't getting radio support that's for sure ! If she wants to debut high she better not free fall on iTunes
