OFFICIAL HDD PREDICTION
Rihanna’s fifth Def Jam/IDJ album, Loud, will debut with between 180-190k, followed by Rascal Flatts’ Big Machine debut, Nothing Like This, is earmarked for between 170-180k, the same projected total for Capitol Nashville/EMI country star Keith Urban’s Get Closer and Reprise crooner Josh Groban’s Rick Rubin-produced Illuminations.
180-190k is still so much better than 150-160k though. Atleast her first week sales are still on the rise. And it's great that she's projected to sell more than Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, and Josh Groban - 3 undeniably huge acts.
Wow at all the beyonce fans loving the Navy's dissapointment.
How accurate are these predictions, everyone is acting like Rihanna has actually sold 180. You never know, she could go past the 200K mark. Obv she is not going to sell over 240K but dont lose faith Navy (and rihanna fans) and Queen can still do it (sell over 200K ). Her #1 will come soon.
Geez
