500k, wow! I just want Rih to sell consistently like with previous albums but of course it would be amazing if she got an even higher first week than Una's.
I see her doing at least 450k first week with an surprise drop, which would be far less than Drake or Beyonce, yet great for her considering her previous first week sales.

I agree, somewhere between the 300-400k which would be AMAZING for her!
all rap albums debut high and then fall off. it's always a major event, especially since casual rap fans aren't really a thing. the fan perspective found on kanyetothe is much more common in the real world than the fan perspective found on ATRL. pop girls don't have that type of hype and genuine excitement. it's not the same. these aren't impulse buys imo.
i don't think rih has the fanbase to pull numbers like this, therefore i don't want a surprise album. i think that a short promo campaign would be beneficial, but not a surprise release. with a surprise she would probably do 300-350k... the same numbers she could achieve with a purposeful and smart campaign. it's not worth it.

All impluse sales. Duh
The more short notice the album drop is the more casual fans and stans will buy it.
Then why is the navy so against it in here ?
I never had a problem with Rih doing a surprise release because i know it will only beneficit her. But to most of the navy in here it's the worst possible way to release R8 and they have no argument to back it up
And please stop throwing the "everyone will say she copied Beyoncé" because it's not a justifiable argument, it's just dumb and petty.
There's a world outside of ATRL

That's the main reason why people are against. But the funny part there's still people who think rihanna is about to do some big promo campaign. Like y'all need to get real and wake the hell up. How she's handling four five seconds should be a clear indication of her mindset in regards to promo.
But hey well see what happens when she drops the album

DARK GREEN update for 45S... and grammy's performance is on vevo now...
I can't decide if they were cleaver or stupid releasing it almost a week later after the performance, one hand the hype is dying from the grammys, so no one is gonna be checking for the video now, however she is a video/streaming force and this might help it from free falling

She should simply give us short notice.
Every damn weekend y'all freak out for nun.
