Chris and Trac.ee stop the bickering. Trac.ee chris is right you don't need to discuss BTW in the Loud thread. S&M got to number 1 in a couple countries already. She's performing it at the Brits so she can be #1 after Gaga. I don't see what's the big deal right now.... Its better to have competition then the #1 actually meant something.

Girls, I just realized...
AGLM is Rihanna's most successful solo album.
It sold the best. GGGB was re-released, but before the re-release, it sold less than AGLM, with Umbrella, DSTM, HTILY & SUAD.
I dont know about u guys, but I prefer it to go slower this time.
Rih always has songs that are huge at a point and then fall quite fast.
We need to see this stay inside the Top10 on iTunes for a LOOOOOONNGG time.
Let the airplay keep moving slowly but surely... and be patient until gaga falls.
S&M needs to be the hit that sells Loud.
Its the 3rd single and its already doing amazing. and most important of all.... Loud is climbing those spots. And in the end the album is the one that needs to keep on selling as best as possible.
Singles do not sell Tours. Singles build albums and the albums sales consolidate careers.
Rih needs to focus on bringing epic videos and building an image and a loyal fanbase.
And she is already at that point.
She is going to be SO HUGE in the UK this era... I can even see Loud going 6xPlatinum without a re-release there.... (it is already at 1.050.000 copies sold and this week it all points to a sales and position increase (lets say 35K...) That means we will be around 100K away from 4xPlatinum ALREADY....) And Brit awards are coming this tuesday (which will skyrocket S&M and Loud....)
I even think that S&M can go #1 next week... even with all this gaga..... (remember the effect of the grammys are mostly for the US and Canada) SO I expect S&M to be able to fight that #1 next week in the UK.
And her album is going platinum in a matter of 2 more weeks (895K as of last week. And this week she is predicted 35K = 930K.... the 70K left to the 1M mark will be a matter of 2 weeks....)
And with 1.200.000 copies sold in the UK and 1.000.000 sold in the US in just 4 months... I think we can all agree that Rihanna is now an ESTABLISHED HUGE WORLDWIDE POPSTAR. (I expect loud to be at 3.5M worldwide in around a month time too...)
Too bad it'll fall once the hype over his movie fades.
