Yes. One X Factor performance and a 7 minute Ellen sit down. Slay

[SAM†]

Some people are totally overreacting...

This album is going to be long lasting, just like her others.

How ironic it would be if that album went #1 ...

We all know with Rihanna albums, it's never clear how much it will sell. First week indicates nothing when it comes to her final sales.

Even her "flop" seller Rated R sold 1 million copies, with just one hit that sold over 2 million.

The album will have longevity for sure thanks to hit singles + Xmas sales, but these are disappointing opening #s for the artist with the greatest radio exposure of ANYONE in the last 5 or 6 years.

Now let's see if BB puts it above 200K.

[Monster]

Great achievement.

Less than Loud?

... Atleast it debuted in the Top 3.

[UnusualBoy]

Congrats to Riri this better have longevity

[NE.]

Excellent.

[Swaggie]

Rounding out the Top 10, Nickelodeon/Columbia teenpop act Big Time Rush (#8) will enter with 90-100k, followed by Island/IDJ’s Justin Bieber (#9) sporting the same amount and the debut of Big Machine’s Taylor Swift live CD/DVD, Speak Now World Tour Live, with 85-95k at #10

[Baby Judas]

Congrats Rih!!!

What did you expect? I'm sure some people bought Loud thinking WFL was a single of it.

Yea, I actually have a friend who bought 'Loud' and was like where's "We Found Love". I had to tell her it's on a different album

I think the pace that she's releasing her singles/albums is confusing people. Most people don't even know she has a new album out.

I'm sure TTT will sell over time. She has plenty of potential smashes on it.
But if she ever wants a #1 album or an album that can sell 300k+ first week I think she needs to take a long break and let people anticipate a new release.
She has a strong enough catalog of hits under her belt where she can afford to take a long break IMO.

She could've. I mean 225K is in her range had she promoted.

Exactly. The whole release was rushed and she still came out decent numbers. It will have great longevity, which is what I'm here for.

She better drag the lessors with her 6 Top 10 albums and 11 Number one Singles
