Biggest Music Markets by country

US
Japan
UK
Germany

If you combine the whole of Europe together which is fair because that way the population is more comparable to the US (300m) then Europe is the biggest Music Market in the world so as long as Rih does well and score smashes in these areas then I am ok.

Check my post avbove, Germany is now bigger than UK

LOL...

Ireland is TINY...

Platinum there is 15K....

and AUSTRALIA is NOT a small market... actually #1 single there sells around 25K a week (sometimes even above 30K)

So.... by weekly singles sales:

- US -> 200K-300K - (700K Max)
- UK -> 50K-150K - (500K Max)
- Japan -> 25K-200K - (+1M Max)
- Germany -> 30K-70K - (300K Max)
- Canada -> 20K-40K - (100K Max)
- Australia -> 25K-35K - (60K Max)
- France -> 10K-25K (50K Max)

Ireland must be around 4K-6K a week
Spain around 5K-10K a week
Switzerland must be around 5K-10K a week too

Im not talking about MARKETS SIZE...

Im only talking about WEEKLY #1 SINGLE'S SALES AVERAGE.

Germany is bigger coz products are more expensive.

That is not true either... The problem is we never get the sales for the German singles and albums.

Coz their chart is not based on sales, but on PROFIT. The more expensive a song/album is the higher it will chart in the official chart.

Is We Found Love #1 this week or the next one?(in the US)

You ready for a "news" from our bro Fluo?

Dr. Luke's song "You The One":

Quote:

it's ester dean, so expect something in the vein of Rude Boy / What's My Name but it's not a Pt. 2 of either of those either.

But is it a mid tempo or uptempo?

Quote:

the faster end of midtempo i guess
the lyrics are fast & plentiful, particularly the chorus. it's done in a kind of chant style.

So fluo do you like the song?

Quote:

I do but i never really like to give my detailed personal opinion on songs people haven't heard, besides describing them. 'cause i think i'm gonna either get people way too hyped up, where they're gonna wanna hate it if it's not the next umbrella, or if i'm more critical, they're gonna come to some drastic conclusion that it's disappointing. lol
i think it's worthy of being a potential single & likely a hit.

'm not implying anything, but what do y'all think if Swedish House Mafia did something for the album?

Another info:

Quote:

it is island-y with a dubstep influence.
it's instantly catchy & unquestionably a radio hit

i could see it working as a 2nd single, because it has that urban/pop appeal, but ideally i'd like to see it be a later single.

Quote:

Don't worry about it being Dr. Luke. It's 100% a traditional Rihanna track.
.
I imagine opinion would be pretty split between preference of the genre influence (dance/house vs. island/urban), because they aren't similar.

Sounds good!

Wait, since when did Rihanna have a mixtape?

It was recorded before "Music of the Sun" ...It includes some songs from MoTS, for example IILTYW...but it also has another songs that didn't make MoTS.
