Okay... so we are approaching the release of Rihanna's new album and its her 6th album already.
US first week's:
Music Of The Sun: 69.000 A Girl Like Me: 115.000 Good Girl Gone Bad: 162.000 Rated R: 181.000 Loud: 207.000
UK first week's:
Music Of The Sun: 10.000 A Girl Like Me: 24.000 Good Girl Gone Bad: 54.000 Rated R: 32.000 Loud: 91.000
WW first week's:
Music Of The Sun: No Data A Girl Like Me: 193.000 (54K outside US+UK) Good Girl Gone Bad: 278.000 (62K outside US+UK) Rated R: 293.000 (80K outside US+UK) Loud: 406.000 (108K outside US+UK)
No the question is... How much will Talk That Talk do first week WW?
In the UK she has the X Factor the day before the album release... and in the US all of her albums have been on the up first week's sales.
US: 230K (a little more than last year just because we found love is doing better than only girl was)
UK: 350K (she's doing X Factor UK performance on the 20th, last year that alone gave her 300k sales in a week and also she's recently been touring the UK so promo )
I think between 500-600K. I don't understand why she doesn't sell well in the US considering all the singles she has sold there. Estimating around 230K for the US with Black Friday sales is pretty poor, and nobody can deny that.
She is huge in the UK though but I think 350K there is pushing it a bit. I think she'll do ~280K and the rest from WW sales. She might just get past the 600K mark, it'll be close.
I think she can do 230K-250K in the US and around 200K in the UK + another around 200K in the rest of the world. She should be around 600K or even above if this go properly.
US: 230K (a little more than last year just because we found love is doing better than only girl was)
UK: 350K (she's doing X Factor UK performance on the 20th, last year that alone gave her 300k sales in a week and also she's recently been touring the UK so promo )
She'd be lucky to hit 200k in the UK. Her highest sales week was 240-250k and that was the Christmas week, so sales were hugely inflated. If Coldplay couldn't hit 300k, Rihanna won't.
300-400k. WFL isn't as big as OG was, so I don't think there'll be as much immediate demand.
we found love is doing better than only girl. only girl struggled to reach #1 in the US while WFL reached #1 effortlessly and is still not showing signs of having peaked.
