Well she has been damn near living in the UK, so no one is surprised she succeeded there. The shocker here is that she has the #1 song in the entire country and couldn't sell 200k during the biggest Black Christmas in history.

Nothing wrong with being a little optimistic. Lets not pull out the first week sales predictions for Femme Fatale.

In Belgium and Sweden TTT charted with only 3 days of sales. In UK it debuted at #1 with 163K. Too bad no?

I have to agree with some girls that American seems to be not here for Riri
I went to the CD store, I saw Beyonce's CD titles everywhere and a bunch of Adele's 21 (really a lot ).
They hided Rihanna's CDs somewhere. It took me a while to figure out where was Talk That Talk in its release week
So disappointed

I'm just curious how much Rihanna would sell if she doesn't release her album during the holidays.

90K tbqh...
Same numbers as Keri.

She is only 27k from getting that #1 album, some promo woulda done the magic. Dej Jam really don't understand how important promo is to album since many people don't even know this bitch releases a new album.
50k coulda easily added to her total sales had she promoted abit.

And have you seen the WW peaks for TTT so far? Oh girl.

Exactly, that bitch thought.

200K + 160K = 360K Only US and the UK
I expect a 500K-600K ww debut

So what?
She sold less than 200k in the biggest market, during Black Friday. That's what we are talking about : sales in the US.
You can keep tracking sales from Zimbabwe and not a single thing will change that fact.

Again what artist can announce that they are going to release new album on twitter while the previous one is still fresh, in three months drop it and still manage to get respectable chart positions globally with hardly any promo? Be fair now
|
i am being totally fair.. this is the current queen of pop we are talking about here. she should have been able to notch top 3's in most, if not every market even without promo (and since when was having the #1 song in the entire WORLD for weeks not promo?). these #20-30 something debuts are very disappointing and unexcusable.

Ok let's talk WW then. Trust I will drag your fave across the Atrl server if TTT doesn't do more than 2 million WW in its fourth week. The navy is so funny, to think I was starting to feel bad for some of them.

The funny thing is every time Rihanna debuts with a new album and it misses the top spot there is a new speculation as to why it didn't hit #1 by the Navy.. now it's because her fan base is bigger in the UK then in the US. Yet............ she has 11 #1 singles in the US I am missing the logic girls.

The sales are just fine, they'll match Loud when all's said, and done.

At least it went #1 with higher sales with barely any promo and without the Black Friday sales.
