105K is good!

We Found Love sold 87K copies in its first week in 4 days which means WFL would do something like this.

This isn't even dance track. Congrats!

1 Rihanna/Calvin Harris 87,573
2 Maroon 5/Christina 82,128 (572,173)

In May 2007, Maroon 5’s Makes Me Wonder topped the midweek sales flashes and was on schedule to jump 19-1 on the singles chart.

It was prevented from doing so by Rihanna’s Umbrella (feat. Jay-Z), which charged past it at the death to debut at number one – a position it held for 10 weeks, by which time Makes Me Wonder was way out of the running at number 40.

History repeats itself this week, with Maroon 5’s Christina Aguilera collaboration Moves Like Jagger seemingly set fair to move up to number one after five straight weeks at number two - but being cruelly denied at the death by Rihanna’s We Found Love (feat. Calvin Harris), the introductory single from her new album Talk That Talk.

Rihanna’s sixth number one (and Harris’ third), We Found Love wasn’t released until Wednesday but racked up four day sales of 87,573, while Moves Like Jagger is bridesmaid for the sixth time in a row, on sales of 82,128 – its second best yet.

Since first hitting the chart a little over six years ago, Rihanna has placed 31 songs on the Top 75, 26 of them reaching the Top 20, and has racked up overall sales of 10,911,982 singles. We Found Love isn’t the only addition to her tally of Top 20 hits this week: Fly – by Nicki Minaj feat. Rihanna – jumps 24-16 (21,377 sales). Before We Found Love was released, a spoiler version by The Cover Girl, climbed as high as number 28 on the midweeks. It eventually sold 5,676 copies to debut at number 54.

Platinum is 600,000. It'll be platinum by Christmas definitely. Especially if she delivers with the video and X Factor performance (UK promo spots).

This song with the right amount promotion + video can sell 1 million copies in the UK too.

Hopefully Rih performs Diamonds at the EMA's, Jonathan Ross and X-Factor. Good promo slots!

Hmm...I agree, but I wouldn't be surprised if the song crosses the 1 million mark by the end of the year. She HAS alot of potential PROMO for the song. The Video, (let's hope it's better than WFL)...EMAS, X Factor, Talk Shows...etc...I think she should seize every opportunity to make this song HUGE.

That would mean it'd have to sell 100k per week for the next 5 weeks (very unlikely tbh). It'll probably sell 70-80k this week and then it might decrease again the following week. It might not though, especially with the radio play gradually increasing and promo starting soon (?).

I think next week she will sell 89-95k
& if she does jonathan ross it will easily do 100k
& than it will do 70-80k
Video shot 80-85k
The ema week it will raise to 90-100k again

It will be there 5-6 weeks

EMA's don't really have an impact in the UK. I do hope the sales will hold up as well as you've predicted though, but don't see it happening. I can see it holding up around the 70k mark for quite a while.

I just seen this on Buzzjack:

Imagine if the charts in the next mont looks like this:
07-10-12 = Rihanna
14-10-12 = Adele
21-10-12 = Rihanna (week of video release)
28-10-12 = Adele (release of movie)
