GGGB with a #1 single------160k
Rated R with an underperformed single at #9.......180k
LOUD has a great shot to sell over 200k...Let's see,hopefully it pulls large numbers
Rated R was her highest first week sales with an underperforming first single, not to mention her fanbase is growing and she is easily the number one female in the game right now, with no competition at the moment, maybe Katy Perry and Ke$ha.
Loud is being promoted with two huge hits, I say 300k is a possibility.
And that's the issue about this. Fans were so greedy for it to leak.
Thats no excuse. If you have a fanbase they will buy the album no matter what. Rihanna is young and in her commercial prime so she should theoretically be able to have people buy her album. Taylor released her whole album and then it leaked well in at advance and she still managed to sell.
