Apparently no one can hold Rihanna this week.

I'm so happy for her, but I wish she hadn't stole Gaga's record on pop radio stations

Thank you btw for answering my question

They are not always right... I think they just looked at GGGB first week sales and Rated R first week sales and made up this prediction...

They don't look at past numbers. They look at data from stores that send in sales data daily and then make an estimate based off of those numbers. Besides, 180k isn't that bad. Pop albums just don't sell anymore. Katy barely got over 200k, and she had two smashes to her name when that album came out.

Ok on Thursday we will see... xD But I still think Rihanna will sell more than they predicted...

[Raava]

^ So they make the predictions based on first day sales?

Yes. They update their estimates every other day or so until the end of the week comes when they get all data in.
