Rihanna is not selling that bad. She has sold more than Kelly Clarkson, for example... and GGGB is about break the 1m mark soon, that's good. She could have doing better but she is taking a good road... Her single sales on Itunes are CRAZY, that shows she is huge, her album doesn't sell like crazy because nobody wants to waste money on albums when they can download them from the web... Now it's very hard to get only a platinum certification, that's why i'm proud of her. Nowadays, artists need to be very lucky to have their album selling good.
yea, all things considered I'd still call it a flop :-/
B'Day sales were not so good until Irreplaceable. We all were saying she was flopping hard and at the end... She has sold a lot. We have to wait to see how "Rehab" and "Breakin Dishes" will do.
only she isn't releasing those songs, lol. I think Rihanna is already working on her next flop.
if Beyonce had a monster lead single like Umbrella, her album would still be #1.
oh, and B'Day opened selling over 600k! So lmao @ flopping until Irreplacable was released!
You said Nas' last album was a flop, yet it sold quite a bit [over 300k] in its first week, so why do Beyoncé's first-week sales matter all of a sudden?
Sales are going down year after year, so Beyoncé selling more with her next album than her previous album is very laughable and will not happen.

i was making the point that beyonce was no where near flopping before Irreplacable's release.
