Today in 2011 we were able to unlock Rihanna's 6th album title's name.

I remember that game. I was fuming for the lack of promo.

[Matangi]

I found that facebook game so tacky

[Ady.]

I remember when everyone thought R6 would be titled "Unlocked"

But it was a bad way to promote it... No wonder it only sold 198K.

Back then when I wasn't following the charts at all I thought that was a good opening week.

Good morning my friends

What would y'all do if Rihanna announces the release date this year and it would be in summer 2016 ?

I would be unmoved because I have no expectations at this point

[Chemical X.]

The 777 tour was ridiculous and hilarious. The first Rih album release I was ever aware of as a member of the GP. I still follow a bunch of music writers thanks to that mess

[DuaneT]

What are ya'll predictions for opening sales? I'm gonna say 200-250k first week in U.S. Anything over would be great.


Can someone give me the list of Rihannas opening sales in the U.S.?

MOTS: 69,000
AGLM: 115,000
GGGB: 162,000
RR: 181,000
LOUD: 207,000
TTT: 198,000
U: 238,000

with the exception of Talk That Talk, she increases with every album. I personally am hoping for 275k in sales. Streaming should help a bit.

270k is she gives a date, 500k+ if she surprise release.
But remember that "surprise release" are very front loaded, while casual release have more longevity ...

2005 - Music Of The Sun
2006 - A Girl Like Me
2007 - Good Girl Gone Bad
2009 - Rated R
2010 - LOUD
2011 - Talk That Talk
2012 - Unapologetic
2016 - R8

nnn, dat gap.

Thank you so much guys whilst the sales ain't fantastic, at least she always manages to go platinum.

And 2015 was such a wasted opportunity, she could've dominated the industry this year. She better get her **** together for 2016... If she dares to not release in 2016 then I will instantly burn my stan card.

Also I know how you guys now don't really have expectations for the new record, however I do.. I am expecting her best work to date. If it's below average after a three (possibly four) year break.. Then she deserves to be dragged. We have waited so long, been trolled for two years.. But yet still supported her and 'R8' ...we deserve a great album.

Also I really don't think a surprise release would work for Rihanna.

She's so classy Parisians are still crazy tho'

Pretty sure all of us have high expectations when it comes to quality, but the anticipation for the release is just dying. So not expecting anything to happen, just taking it as it comes.

Agree on the surprise release.
