TIDAL needs to stop. They already ruined the era with their bull**** and damaged Rihanna's brand. Still, we got an amazing album out of this, yet they're spoiling it by bragging, lying and reporting questionable figures that nobody even asked for. They're turning what could have been Rih's biggest statement album into an industry laughing stock
Update 2: Another TIDAL rep further clarified the situation: “Of the 400K+ in global sales of ANTI via TIDAL, Billboard will only be counting US sales.”
460 - United States
399,540 - Rest of the World (Nigeria, Barbados etc)
Well she got her $ 20M, too bad that's all she'll get from this era.
I'm pretty sure that 20 mill went to funding her album, whose recording budget was probably in the red and her tour, that is giving away tons of free tickets, but hey! Good for her!
Wait. About those downloads. I got a free copy myself through Tidal. But if Samsung paid for 1M copies in the US, did my download count towards her US cert anyway?

460 copies in the States and 15K in the UK. I wonder where the missing 300K are coming from.
From all the other just as important countries that is not the US and UK? Are countries in South America, Africa and other European countries not relevant' Like broaden your horizons?
