Thoughts?

How do you have 9 million followers all these #1 singles but cant push at LEAST 300k units? Like…i don’t get it. People like her singles, they don’t like her albums. I saw some1 describe Rihanna as a 1 hit wonder…11 times over…and these sales just solidify that. There is no excuse. And the “Navy” has to be the fakest fan base in history.

RihannaNavy?

Naaaah Ima call them RihannaTitanic now.

Well they both sold more than what was expected. Those are in the reign of what she usually sells. She isn’t a big first wk. album seller. Why are y’all acting suprised…

Mary has been in the game 20 years, what you talking about falling flat? 20 years and still getting top 10 albums thats a big accomplishment in itself. What is your big professional accomplishment?

You Da One is at #14 not #41

Sales are bad indeed -considering her #1s and massive promotion- however as some of you stated is going to be interesting to see TTT on the charts in the following weeks. At this point you would expect her to have a number one album on her resume… at least!

The Grammys are a joke. The only people that dont believe this are Beyonce fans.

Hmmmmm, Rihanna has a lot of promo going on to only be pushing out 179k for opening week.

I’m not surprised one bit. Talk That Talk left little to be desired. That album was rushed and it shows, not only compared to her previous releases, but her first week sales. I need for some of the Rihanna Navy to come off their high horse and leave Beyoncé out of this. She has absolutely NOTHING to do with Rihanna’s success or lack thereof. Y’all need to come out of that fantasy world you’re living in and quit bringing up the fact that she has eleven #1 singles as your defense all the time. Is that all you have to prove? Every time somebody criticizes Rihanna, a Rihanna stan brings up Beyoncé. WHY? What the hell does Bey have to do with this?

Can’t understand how is it that Rihanna has 10 million twitter fans & 40 million facebook fans and you mean to tell me she could not get a #1 album but have 11 #1′s something is not cool with this it is like her record label is paying radio airplay/ itunes.

Mary has nothing to prove in the industry. She’s 20 yrs, consistent, has sold over 60 million, 9 Grammy’s in different catagories. She’s won 10 billboard awards, she’s conquered the industry & billboard with record breaking 1st wk sales. She’s also had #1 albums & #1 singles. Mary has built her legacy & she is still the Queen regardless. Love her.

But with all that promo this aint right she does all award shows in US, UK , Dubai , Afganistan name it and with the massive world tour and the sold out tours in the states $195 or $200 ??? Nope we need a recount. As for the 10 million twitter followers SMH that should be atleast 500 albums. Again I need some one to explain these numbers. She is all I hear on the radio who is lying??? Not to mention the talk show rounds and magazine covers .

Rihanna stans making excuses I see….I was waiting for someone to bring up Chris Brown. Facts are Facts: TTT should’ve done more with all this publicity it had. 6 year veteran, 6 albums yet only pushing 197k…her stans too busy talking shit to buy the album. Truth is people like Rihhanna for fashion and her spunky attitude. She’s a singles artist, hence 11 #1s…don’t get me wrong, I like some of her music but for starters this album isn’t that great…too rushed and second it didn’t live up to the hype of the promo with sales. Some things need to be rearranged in her camp. After 6 years her first week numbers should outside the numbers her singles are pushing on itunes

Yep, I was waiting for somebody to bring up Breezy & Bey once again. That’s what Rihanna stans like to do. We’re talking about the fact that Rihanna is six albums into her career and has YET to score a #1. Chris and Bey both have, so throwing around these alleged album sales “worldwide” and this “sold out” U.S. tour you speak of… I need receipts to prove that. The album is garbage. If it was good, it would be #1. I need for the Rihanna Navy to quit checking up on other artists’ stats and sales and go buy a few copies to help YOUR FAVE out cause it’s looking bad. Team Breezy and the Bey-Hive had no issues making sure their faves went #1 their first week. Quit with the fuckin excuses and accept it for what it is!

Instead of being on here making stupid excuses for a so called “star” of her caliber unable to whip her base into buying at least 300k in the first week. Or “trying” to blast other fan bases whose artist has #1 albums…your delusional asses should be out there helping your girl for that next album. Especially since she’s running to the studio to do another one! lol

Do you not think she doesn’t want a # 1 album? HA!

@rory 4 didn’t flop, almost 2 million WW. Rihanna’s album is a flop, you know her record label wants a number one thats why they released it doing black friday. Your delusional.

Put this on the Rihanna fans….She is sleeping with Jay-z si hr can make the label buy her albums down the line si she can stay on the label and in the industry. Video vixens arent the only ones fucken to stay relevant artist are too. Ashanti did.it with ja rule and christina millian did it with the dream. Listen the girl has no money but wat the label gives her and shes paid to dress so those arent even her clothes. She dont have grammies or bet awards at least dont know anyone whose been to her concerts and i know a shit load of rich fucks. Shes doing something to stay in…jayz is known to drop people ridiculously..but rihanna is still on and cant produce 1 number 1 album…caint get one person to sit in a seat without being tricked to.see her. Yall know she fucken the board. There no way she would be with a non lude.act record company.
