130K with just digital only makes me believe she would have don her usual 200K sales week if she had physical sales as well. Even in January. Thats not bad at all. Hopefully it increases. I wish she had promo lined up.
The digital sales might've been a bit lower if it was available in physical retailers.
I'm expecting at least 300k for her. She is really flopping. Not even half of Artpop for pure sales. Poor Riri! Well, she is untalented that is why she's flopping.
Oh you expected that all along?

Didn't Jay-Z have basically the same circumstances and did 500k?
Nope for reasons listed above, a la no physical album unlike Jay.
Also, in less of a bad month for album releases.
Also, Rihanna doesn't push albums like a certified legend... obviously.

No.
- His downloads only went toward Samsung devices.
- His physical copies were available at the same time as his digital copies.
- He released during a busier time in a year where streaming hadn't overtaken digital sales.
