Charts are actually meaningless when your album cant go gold

So if sales charts are meaningless then we should look at streaming, which is way more important nowadays, and she done great in streaming

That's all because of the streaming hit that was Work, which gives you the impression that the album is holding well, but in fact it hasn't even been GOLD in pure sales yet...

So Work being #20 on HOT100 makes the album be top5.
Uhm...

Current HOT100:
6. Cheap Thrills - ALBUM #14
11. I Took a Pill in Ibiza - ALBUM #57
15. 7 Years - ALBUM #49
16. Me Too - ALBUM #10
17. Dangerous Woman - ALBUM #13

Hmmm.




There's no such "gold in sales!!111" thing, that's just a stans thing. Billboard and RIAA certifications don't work like that anymore. Not that I'm pretending some stans to keep up with time, judging who they stan for.

Streaming is the future, y'all really need to get with the times. And i'm sure y'all wouldn't be complaining if your faves were streaming monsters.

Work is currently #100 on iTunes and #37 on Spotify, is it the reason why ANTI is still Top 5?

And why is ANTI still Top 20 on the album sales chart, after 6 months?

[NX127]

It has received 2.1 million in SPS (streaming is more important than sales now) and 1.1 million in pure album sales.

Underperformance? yes. Flop? no.

No one is complaining. Drake in your signature has proven that it's possible to have streaming AND sales, same with Beyoncé. So no, it does not justify Anti having 400K pure sales.

Needed Me, the "urban smash hit" has already taken over, besides it's about the streaming ALL the Anti songs bring in, not just one, and also not just from iTunes, or Spotify, but from all the platforms.

But stay pretending that you didn't understand what my post meant.

It's the 3rd best selling album released this year and it has yet to be discounted.

[BubbleGomme]

The pressed trying to come for her when they'll use SPS numbers once their fave flops to oblivion.

OT : It didn't. It's an underperformance but given the current sales climate, the free copies and its super messy release, it's FAR from a flop.

Billboard 200 indicates album popularity, so you just proved my point.

And the album has 485k pure sales (not 400k), will reach 500k in about 2 weeks.

I want to say because the album is bad but some petty bad albums sell well so I don't know, maybe because it was ment to flop...I don't think it will ever sell 1M copies in the US and I highly doubt it will cross 2M WW, it's been months now and the singles have been released so yeah it's dead..

It really did flop and sane Rihanna fans know it, and they just don't care wich is good imo..obsessing over charts/sales is never good. Hopefully her next album will at least be good

It's a success in the US, let's not. Since when 500k pure sales a flop nowadays? And she gave 1 million copies for free. So 500k is quite the miracle ...

It's a flop worldwide though, I'm not delusional enough to deny it. Flop deserved, the roll out was tragic.
Learn your lesson Rih.
