The fact that she has a number one hit means nothing. Rihanna has scored 11 #1 singles, yet her first weeks are always catastrophic.
Music of The Sun: No #1's - 69K first week
A Girl Like Me: SOS hit #1 - Only 115K first week
Good Girl Gone Bad: Umbrella hit #1, Take a Bow hit #1, Disturbia hit #1, Only 162K first week
Rated R: Rude Boy hit #1, Only 181K first week
Loud: Only Girl in the World hit #1, What's My Name? hit #1, S&M hit #1, - Only 207K first week
What I'm trying to say is: Smash hits have never done much for Rihanna's first week sales. Rihanna is the type to sell millions in the long run rather than in 2 months. Rihanna has yet to have notched a #1 album, as well. MJB always has massive first weeks (TBT 2005 750K, GP 2007 600K). As far as week 1 goes, its a dub for Rihanna (no shade).

Girl you're a mess. Umbrella hit #1 and thats IT before GGGB. Rated R only had Russian Roulette.
Do you understand when these were released?

S&M was released AFTER Loud.
