The same people saying "joke" are the same ones who still find the lame "460" figure funny and act as if that was a real first week figure. I don't have time for the transparency tbh.
Yes her sales for this album are tragic but who cares? Billboard said she sold 265 million records. She is the best selling digital artist. Only Madonna outsold her and she still has more #1 than her and she will probably outsell her too. People need to stop underestimating Rihanna.
Rihanna really should have released ANTI,4th quarter last year instead of 1st quarter this year. 1st quarter sales are notoriously weak, and she already is a weak album seller. Congrats to her I guess. She is very lucky that streaming counts now because this album isnt selling well at all. She had to cheat her way to platinum status, but hopefully the album will actually truly go platinum because it is a good one.
