Days ago, fans of Pop belle Rihanna received an open handed slap to the face when it emerged that the singer’s latest album ‘Talk That Talk‘ is to debut with less than stellar first week sales.
Yes, quite unfortunately, this means that for the sixth consecutive time she will fail to nab a #1 album on the Billboard 200 ,even with the success of the project’s lead single ‘We Found Love‘.
Now That Grape Juice is answering the question Island Def Jam will be sure to be asking this week.
Why is it so difficult for Rihanna to nab a #1 album?
Contrary to popular belief , the problem with Rihanna’s ‘music’ is not her lack of discernible talent or that she shows no sign of wanting to further her skill as a performer, but rather the fact that when it comes down to it- she just isn’t that convincing.
Not even to her own fans.
For unlike Lady GaGa, Beyonce and dare we say Britney Spears– Fenty has failed to build up the good faith an artist like her needs to convince people to buy whatever she is selling, regardless of what it looks or sounds like.
The kind of good faith that only comes when your fans truly believe in your cause.
The good faith that helps Adele move 200,000 copies of ‘21‘ each week and Drake‘s ‘Take Care’ debut with sales of almost 700,000 units.
More interested in churning out hits than molding her into a performer worthy of the artificially induced ‘Icon’ status she enjoys , her team have failed to convince anyone -other than her core fan base- that a Rihanna album is truly worth buying.
Because, while the big budget videos, ever changing aesthetics and laizzez faire personality will always do the trick as far as singles are concerned, her LP’s are much much like a drunken one night stand.
Cheap, sexy but embarrassingly forgettable .
By no means are we saying that quality material will ensure commercial success (see Ashanti‘s ‘The Declaration‘ and Brandy‘s ‘Human‘).
However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that Rihanna’s inability to convince the world that she has an authentic creative agenda is the reason so many will buy her $1 singles but not the $10 albums those singles come from.
So sad.
Billed as an international megastar but can’t even score a #1 album in her domestic market.
ASHANTI>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
rihanna could score #1 and she will, just watch next week!!!!!!!!!!
Yes yes and yes. This tramp has no discernable talent…like really. I think her career would have pretty much been over if she didn’t get battered.
I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the point he was making…
Welp with mjb and bey doing they thkng too…sorry riri
@bruce re: November 23, 2011 at 6:30 am —
“rihanna could score #1 and she will, just watch next week!!”
Bruce, that’ll happen ONLY if Def Jam(Rihanna) AGAIN buys her CD. You DO remember she’s in a “360-Contract”, right? And once Nicki Minaj begins to tour “The World”, we’ll see Rihanna/Brand-Rihanna then become forced into irrelevance and obscurity. Where she belongs!

@Grape any time you have to inject NEGATIVITY
into the articles written and posted on Rihanna tells a great story of a girl from very Humble beginnings and made it big
and she did it in the United states where there are many
American girls who have did it good before her, but since shes a Black from the Islands who has clearly made it, to the haters there’s no reason to treat RIHANNA nice when yo asses are bitter, pressed, and stressed over her much success THEREFORE it is easier to call RIHANNA ho, s***, untalented, s**** dah, dah dah from now on to make yo m***** asses feel good. The only thing is many ill still support Rihanna because Rihanna has always been treated like the Under dog ever since She out lasted Her 15 minutes. Its okay for Ke$ha, Kelly, eve, monica, gaga, britney, jojo, rita, chris, trez, and countless others tto do well but the haters FIXATION is on the “Caribbean”
and if all goes well Rihanna will keep right on loosing some and winning some and you can keep right on Eating Yo Hearts Out
Sooooo from here on i will try not to judge or ride the haters backs to hard because after all i know that they have to have Rihanna to try and feed off of her and do Rihanna love all of you inspite of your S***** slander and hate toward her so keep the Hateration parties going
on because Rihanna knows how to serves up these Hate parties and Rihanna Hate parties keeps rocking till the wheels fall off. IMO GRAPE EVEN IF YOU POST A ARTICLE ON rihanna AND EVERY word is positive THE HATERS WILL STILL TRY TO TEAR, BEAT AND BASH
Rihanna’s head off because the dye has been casted
and there’s nothing Rihanna’s haters would rather do then talk me and the Navy down because we see things different from what they see, amazing.In the end nobody wins when they or trying to DOGGGGGG another and we all know that as long as any of the artists keep working as hard as they can there’s no stopping any of them not even Rih, Rih!
Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves…after all that c*** is currently #1 on iTunes and with Black Friday and the inevitable $3.49 discounts coming she may just surprise us all.
So damn bionic!….
Sam is just amazing. the content and intellect in this post >>>>>>>>>>
HERE I AM ‘international version’ by KELLY ROWLAND is out November 28th and available on ITUNES and AMAZON UK.
#TEAMKELLY
WHY THE F*** IS THIS SITE SO OBSSESSED WITH RIHANNA & HER SALES ACCOMPLISHMENTS???????
BY ALL MEANS, I HAVE NO FAVOUR TOWARDS RIHANNA AS AN “ALBUMS” ARTIST, BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS SHE ISN’T – BUT DAMN, AS A FELLOW BLACK PERSON WITH A, SOMEWHAT, SUSTAINABLE CAREER AND THE HUGE WORLDWIDE SUCCESS SHE HAS ACHIEVED:
I RESPECT HER!!!
AND IS THAT ALL THIS SITE HAS BECOME???
THE SAME THING IS DONE ON FACEBOOK, TWITTER ETC… – CONSTANTLY BITCHING ABOUT RIHANNA, RIHANNNA, RIHANNA…….
AND THE ALBUM HAS BEEN OUT FOR ONLY TWO DAYS AND A HALF – THE FINAL SALES HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN COUNTED…….
#SHUT THE F*** UP ALREADY#
@SAM & THAT “PSYCHOLOGICALLY TORTURED” JUICE!!!
I think Rihanna does not give herself enough time to “grow” as an artist. Her music is always current and her videos inventive but it almost seems as if you’re buying into Rihannas long stream of music as opposed to a whole package that you can relate to. MJ’s “Bad” was an era, “Dangerous” was an era. Both of these saw MJ branch into extended lengths of tours, great music videos, charity launches and the like,, both were full of images and themes. Beyonce has also had significant themes that haven’t been rushed or cheaply done and people have been able to gradually won round to getting it. ie. B’day, Creole and Glamour, Sasha Fierce, maturity, relationships and edge, 4 life, fun and throwback music. Rihanna’s career is on speed.
The funny thing is that I never got into Rihanna until this Loud era, and it was a period I would have loved to see continued. The colours, the overall “loudness” of it was very attractive and it should have made a statement about her, something to look back on. Instead it was like “Ok, one year’s up let get more sales and keep this wheel turnin'”.
Because there is no hype about her return there’s no rush to get her music. When Michael Jackson returned people went crazy, there was hype, there was suspense because it was a case of “What will he bring this time” and as such he never failed to impress nor get a number 1.
Rihanna needs to slow down – majorly. I’m not excited about this album, the album cover is off-putting and unattractive and the title sounds like it was made up in some attempt at creativity…but’s unconvincing.
And a #1 is the ONLY benchmark for success? #1 is highly based on whoever else is out on that week (or around that time). Rihanna is very successful, and I’m sure Def Jam will not be wondering whether she’s worth the money they spend on her. Your infactuation with Rihanna is getting REALLY old TGJ.
Shut the F*** UP already!
Why can’t Beyonce get a #1 single on the BB Hot 100?
Why can’t Kelly Rowland have success outside of a girl group?
Rihanna is successful with or without a #1 album. She’s an international superstar that ends up selling millions regardless of her first week domestic sales. She sells out venues WITHOUT a #1 album.
Stay the f*** off of Rihanna’s nuts, s*** man, it’s getting old real quick! tired out!!!
she cant score 2 #1 bc of the diff sounds on the album she cant stick 2 one genre look back @ all her music
THIS SITE IS STARTING TO BECOME A JOKE, WE GET IT SAM, ITS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE ( IT NEVER WAS)
With that being said, I believe one of these days she will score a #1 album, with each release her fan base is increasing, its bound to happen. I don’t even like Rihanna like that but your constant shade and hating is temptig me to take my ass to Best Buy and purchase Talk that Talk so she CAN get a #1 album and you can STFU!
IS BRITNEY SPEARS CONVINCING ?! IN 2011 ?!!
IS THAT A JOKE ?!
anyhow , rihanna will sell as usual !
look what LOUD did last year and tell me if that wasn’t convincing !
and still no f**** will be given about #1 albums , I KNOW FOR YOUit is like an honor to have a #1 in US , BUT I HAVE TO REMIND YO ASS THAT basic b****** like T-pain can get one there , will that make me like him or respect him ?!
no SIR ! IT WON’T !
it depends on the time of release and the competition and somewhat ” the material/content” of the album PLUS THE PROMO !!
IT IS ENOUGH THAT SHE’S NOT AFRAID TO RELEASE IT AGAINST MJ AND MJB !!
she didn’t wait till the competition go DOWN like some other artist(S) DO !!
in 2011 :
#1 albums aren’t s*** and nods aren’t either !
the only things ppl have PARTIAL respect for are :
THE GRAMMYS ” TO SOME EXTENT ” AND BILLBOARD CHARTS ” DUHH” !
You’re a damn hater!! You critics are nothing but damn losers who keep bitching about others!!
Like damn!!
Every other post is about Queen Fenty!!
Instead of promoting Talk That Talk, you need to be promoting Flop I Am, I mean Here I Am, & 4Closure. Aint nobody checking on them…..
Unless you’re hating the fact that Loud still selling even after one year.
#oops
@ Mathew Charlery , you write very maturely and I agree with everything that you have said and to add to it. She did not allow loud to make a statement. She should do more with it and give it longevity.
I think that during the time period matters and the competition. The competition was not all that this week. her fans paint her to be a superstar that have a firm foot in the music industry already, and she doesn’t. If she did then her album would sell even faster than loud. I was expecting over 400 k for her but unfortunately. 180 – 200 k would be smashed any release date in the year, and to think about the time it was released? umm.
The reason she is unable to score her # 1 is because she is not trusted as a body of art yet! she is just an artist the public wait to pick up singles until they have heard about 6 on the radio and decide to buy it.
whoever make it look like billboard 200 is not important stop lying to yourself. lauching a #1 album is a big deal especially after 6. lauching a # 1 in current times is now based on payola and radio station politics. Ask the grammys about that.
@jjfan actually beyonce has 5 that topped the charts a combined 36 weeks it tooik rihanna DOUBLE that to break her record and do 37 weeks ..GO HOME .. not to mention bey is working with #1 BODIES OF WORK .. Not a 1.29 single ur gna sing for a week or two then forget about (the usual thing that happens to a rihanna song) .. The article is about why can’t rihanna pull in big numbers .. Why is it ALWAYS 6 albums later about the “long run” with her .. Beyonce has NEVER well maybe not since 1997 wen destinys child first came out debutted with lower than 300K yes NEVER! .. Now that’s loyalty something that rihanna has yet to achieve from her fans .. Its makes no sense ppl need to hear 3 or 4 songs before saying ummm I guess ill buy it.. Cuz CLEARLY no one is running to the stores for a rihanna album
Do we forget that Rihanna set trends with music??
‘Dont Stop The Music’ who else had dance-pop music on the radio?
Umbrella, all of these other b****** imitated her ‘eh, eh, ehs’
What’s My Name….Kelly Rowlands ‘Lay it on me’, Nicole Scherzingers ‘Right There’, Keri Hilson’s ‘Lose Control’….
Rihanna is in her own f*****’ lane and she will continue to exceed her hater’s expectations.
Yall jus mad because a ‘talentless, no voice model’ is doing better than your faves.
Rihanna stans are funny. 11 (though only an assistant on a few) #1 singles later and no one cares about her albums. You guys are totally trying to justify her failure and those of us who REALLY know what the industry thinks of her are laughing. She is a joke. She doesn’t care about music. She cares about hits, money, and fame. Her fanbase was born after 1990 so I don’t expect them to get it. All these kids are complete morons. That’s all I have to say.
i always speak to truth on rihanna, i am not hating on her. I was a fan of hers. I am no longer cause she cannot meet my expectations at all. i used to defend fenty like she was my sister but i run out of things to say because i would be delusional like the rest on this site. I would say one thing, for the sake of her I would be happy if she did get that number one but for the sake of her fans making fun of other artist in the game who is way more talented than her. The results of her 1st week sales is proof that she has a long way to go. and her fans need to stfu, allow her to grow so the public can be amazed and recognize that. She cannot grow with
“lick my persuasion,” cake cake cake come let me f*** you. that is not good people.
she needs to take time out, learn some choreo, learn some vocal techniques, choose some challenging songs, work on her stage presence and surprise the naysayers. stop making the industry make money on her at present. they same people will jump on the next best thing around. she needs to hold her own.

i knew i’m gonna see JOKES and clowns in this post ,
here we go …..
@LOL
B**** us, RIHANNA STANS, no she’s not a strong album seller first week…WE DON’T ANTICIPATE THAT S***. Would a #1 be nice, yes!! But we support our girl regardless and she ends up selling millions in the longrun… IT’S ABOUT LONGEVITY, B****.
I’d rather have a consistent selling album, rather than a #1 with a drastic drop (see Beyonce’s “4”).
Get it togetha’ and talk about s*** you’re aware of. Smooches.
@ LOL , those people who grew up and know beyonce and the rest musical history knows better. these children don’t know anything about music or longevity. I cannot wait for them to grow up, and have a change of taste. maybe work for their money and spend it on good stuff rather than spend momma’s money on s***.
Someone is saying rihanna set trends? what trends. what rihanna is doing now was done before. her producers use the formats from before and break it down for rihanna. stfu. know what you talking about. Who was the artist who introduced multiple live instruments in their sound and mix music genres in their songs? Now people forget, why? because everyone is doing it they don’t even know where it came from. They refuse to give credit. rihanna music is s***. six albums and the (naras) grammy board has not nominated one of her body of work.
she can score 100 #1’s she can discount all her concert tickets to have a sold out tour but when her fans mature and or the next best thing comes , and she fails to deliver in the talent section. she will be out. stop making excuses for her.
futhermore stop making fun of lady gaga, britney, beyonce, ciara and keri hilson, monica, brandy, to make her look good.
@YDS YASSSSSS a rihanna stans arguement is just as flimsy and weak as her talent
Who cares about her? Move on Samuel. Talk about your boy toy Chris Brown.
@Kimberly
Bitter b****, I heard ‘4’ was in the bargain bin at the dollar store!!! Go buy a couple hundred copies so it can rechart on the WW Global Chart at least to be someone of a harmless threat to LOUD….
…
IN THE END, RIHANNA ALLS REIGN SUPREME.
Point blank period.
DONT TRY IT B****’s comment >>>>>>>>>>>>>> all other comments
i guess the official first week sales came in?? no?? thought so. and the real question of this post is WHY DO SOME ARTIST SCORE #1 ALBUMS AND SRUGGLE TO GO GOLD?? Rihanna is 100% unbothered by all of the pressed b****** who ONLY and i repeat ONLY have this to use against her 😉
btw. WW #1 ALBUMS >>>>> US #1 ALBUMS….just sayin.
you tried though.
@ JJ your comments are so lame? Get off the damn internet and go get a box of Flop that Flop.I went into target and the shelve if still packed! She ain’t never doing it on billboard 200. never . you don’t even know what it is like to celebrate a #1 album. beyonce have 5 #1 – 36 weeks, rihanna 11 – 37 weeks. stop choosing quantity over quality. All of rihanna albums are just being discounted like crazy, they are always in the sale bin. while all other albums are regular price.
Rihanna time to pop that p**** on stage and make some mad videos to have these nasty, teenagers beg their parents to buy your album.
see you again next November. I hope Beyonce release her 5th album this time around and tour summer 2013 after her movie, to give everyone a reminder.
I am not a rihanna hater .. I actually have a lot of her songs on my ipod BUT I hate to say it and I know the navy is going to pounce but I actually think blogs and her fans make her seem bigger than she really is .. I mean my mom saw a picture of her not that my mom is a pop culture expert but that’s kind of my point .. my mom is just the casual observer and when she saw a pic of rihanna she said oh that’s the girl that sings umbrella ..I think to rihannas younger fans she’s the QUEEN which I never go on blogs and try to fight them even when they foolishy attack beyonce who let’s face it her time in destinys child alone trumps rihannas entire career .. Rihanna is just a fun girl with fun music that sometimes ppl will buy (GGGB, loud) and sometimes they won’t (MITS, girl like me and rated r) .. she doesn’t have the loyalty and quite frankly the raw talent to grab ppls attention .. I hope we get a at least another album of her really trying something new because I feel like the well is starting to run dry
She needs a year or two off to build anticipation and buzz. Has anyone had the chance to say where is Rihanna? NOPE!
Now as every year passes and her team/label make her bring out an album year after year, the much documented lack of a number 1 album on the billboard charts now seems like a desperate attempt each year to achieve that feat.
The public have bought in2 the fact Rihanna is a racy, feisty, s***, hot woman, who makes popular singles, but lacks a credible material to execute a body of work that will drawn in new fans.
She needs a holiday, vocal training and fresh material with some decent lyrics.
If its gonna be catchy I want it creative also.
I’m glad for her successes with singles but need that next level now.
@jjfan I kno in ur head u think ur making good points but do u honestly think the bey stans take that crap seriously LOL rihanna has 11 number singles bey only has 5 yet she’s only been charted at number 1 one week longer than beyonce HAHA 6 albums later she can barely scrape 200K HAHA she only has two out of 5 albums that have sold 5mill ww (have to use the entire world cuz in the biggest music market where she actually started her career her sales are embarrassing LOL) I mean plz we can not count beyonce 4 number one albums, 16 grammys, performing at the oscars 3 times, performing with tina turner and prince and for barbare striestrand at the kennedy center honors etc etc we can discount all of it and she’s still apart of the BIGGEST SELLING GIRL GROUP IN THE HISTORY OF THE INDUSTRY! Hahahahahahha and were comparing that to rihanna ….. #icant
if you dont like rihanna dont click on her post PLAIN AND SIMPLE no one needs to know how much you hate her smh your just wasting your energy
lol, but really why are we so surprised, we know for a fact rihanna don’t sell well her first week.why? i really dobt.
but i think making fun of rihanna right is good because when those world while numbers come out i know sam would not be posting it.
and i would be damn funny if TTT outsold 4
The true tea is that even if Rihanna sold ZERO copies in the US, she would still outsell most of your faves with her worldwide numbers 🙂
if Rihanna wanted a #1 album in the US, don’t u guys think she’d be promoting her ass off here?? i mean let’s be real the girl isn’t bigger than she is made to be, she’s THE QUEEN for a reason. song is #1 on bb100 for 3 weeks before she even performed it, album #1 on itunes and amazon.
she sit’s back and enjoys “poppin her p****” in a another timezone unbothered by you haters and she still sales her album like those who promote like its no tomorrow. and until you all realize that and #2 album that opens with 200K hell even and a #10 album that opens like that, says way more than a #1 album that opens with 80K. HAVE SEVERAL SEATS
1) Her Fanbase are VERY Fickle & Weak. They are like boarding the Trains, BUY a Ticket but Soon they’re off headed to the NEXT destination.
2) Shes a SINGLES Artist in every definition of the term.
3) Her Albums arent actually WORTH buying you know, 😕 esp not when they can be streamed on Youtube for FREE (Dont judge me) 🙂
4) Shes just an INDUSTRY chick & NO body RESPECTS her or takes her seriously. Just like to hear her generic singles on the radio.
5) ONLY her SINGLES are in high demand, Not her albums.
Shes DISPOSABLE & cant afford to take a year off. 😕
but OFCOURSE the Rih stans are gonna brag about her WORLDWIDE Sells as if theyre actually impressive, just AVG. 😛
What does it matter how much it sells the first week when it still sells a mill plus in the long run and sells bucket load worldwide…. She’s an album seller internationally and quite frankly… WW success >>>> US success.
MOST PEEPS DONT HAVE TIME TO SPEND MONEY ON A LIP SYNCER AND LIP DANCER. THEREFORE, THE FREEBIE DOWNLOADABLE ALBUMS ARE THE WAY TO GO… PRETTY MUCH EXPLAINS IT.
@S*** (ITS R&Bey)
THE FACT THAT SHE SALES ANYWHERE NEAR AND OVER THE AMOUNT OF A WOMAN WITH LIKE 15 YRS OF FANBASE SAYS A TON. SO YOU CAN MISS THE NAVY WITH ALL THAT, THOSE SAME ARGUMENTS HAVE GOTTEN OLDER THAN BEYONCE’S BIRTH CERTIFICATE. 😉
LOL— well put!
& Rihanna is NOT that Big btw, Shes only popular among the TEENY BOPPERS, Shes actually OLDER than Most her Fans! 😐 But good for her being able to cater to them & all there Generic-Pop Needs 🙂 She STILL has her Youth & will keep it for a long time seeing that she still looks & sounds like a LITTLE GIRL.
GIRLS cant be Queens, Only Women like bey can be Queens/Kings 🙂

lmao at Sam and the rest of the ppl trying to down Rihanna cuz of a #1 album…..really really really come on ppl, Rihanna dont need a #1 album to prove that she can sell record…if yall throwing Beyonce in for argument sake, let take it as an example…Bey stayed away for 2 fncking yrs, build all the hyped around her self and yall fans/stans say she coming for Rihanna wigs, but still that hasnt happened, Bey didnt even get Lady Gaga wig far less Adele, for Rihanna to be dropping an album every yr and still sell more than Bey who stayed away for 2yrs still made no difference to Rihanna sales…i saw Sam watching Bey WW sales but when it comes to Rihanna he wanna pull in US sales, still Bey hasnt surpass 2 million WW….so all this talk about Rihanna makes no sense whether she has a #1 album or not, this girl talented or untalented what ever u wanna see she has proved that she can release an album with big competitions, stay relevant even when Lady gaga britney adele and beyonce released abums in 2011…..so talk that talk regardless rihanna stays supreme, she has charted the 2nd female highest in WW sales after Adele for 2010-2011 period with her album Loud regardless of the fact RR was barely a year old…..Rihanna is building and growing TTT
You can say what you want to say you can frame it how ever you want to frame it it matters a dam. The Question is not Why rihanna can”t get a #1 Album But why do the people that has gotten a #1 lately WHY HAVE THEIR ALBUM DIED IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO STAND TALL AFTER THE FIRST STRONG WIND HITS ITS ENTRANCE THROUGHT THAT #1 DOORWAY CASE IN POINT Chris, Loyd, Jill, Bey, kelly Just To Name A few????????????
We Know why all of the FIXATION ON RIHANNA Is because of the hate for her being the main FACTOR FOR THE INQUIRES. And no matter how you slice it the navy has got her back throught all of her Struggles and i am keeping my money on the CARIBBEAN PRINCESS And don’t give a dam who says different.
@RIRIFAN
But Rih SHOULD be way Bigger, Better & More successful than she is Today. 22 Million off 5 Albums is good but Pathetic for Rihanna who releases all those Singles 😕
Rih’s Status today isnt HALF as high as her stans make it seem.
Bey has achieved STATUS!! Her Kingdom is already BUILT while rihanna is Still Buidling. But hey maybe Bey will let Rihanna borrow some Bricks (& a #1 Album while shes at it) 😉
I actually think its cute how seriously the navy takes her .. its jus very clear the industry and general public don’t LOL
OH GOD WE GET IT……..
PLEASE NO MORE POSTS ABOUT THIS SINGLE TOPIC
@VERGE
WITH LITTLE TO NO PROMOTIOM?? HELL YES
IT’S DAMN NEAR SAD TO SEE MARY’S PROMOTING HER CROWS FEET OFF AND IS EXPECTED TO SELL LESS THAT RIHANNA.
MY POINT IS YOU ALL KEEP TRYING AND “TALKING THAT TALK” MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE PRESSED. NOW THAT RIHANNA HAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF WRITING CREDITS, PRODUCTION CREDITS, ETC. ALL U HAVE IS A S***** ASS US #1 ALBUM…THE US!!?? LMAO THE NAVY DOESN’T CARE AND NEITHER DOES RI. AND @ THE END OF THE DAY SHE’S STILL SELLS OUT SHOWS AND SALES ALBUMS JUST LIKE THOSE BIG OPENERS. K?
Sam is a bitter B****! What’s the matter Sam? Did Rihanna reject you or something? Your stalker like hatred is incredible. It’s like she stole your man or something and you are out for revenge. Seek mental help!!! If one of your faves do the same thing Rihanna does, it’s fabulous. If Rihanna does it she id more w****, s*** and all other words that areBad. You, Sir, are a hypocrite.
@truthteller umm 4 debutted at number 1 in 14 countries .. not 14 states in the us boo doesn’t sound local to me LOL ohhh rihanna stans u guys are fun to play with
@ RiRI fan if rihanna is selling 180-200k after 6 years what will it be after 15 years. Think before you type nonsense.
@Rex the ri fans will disagree because they were not alive and kicking in the time of DC3, but Beyonce in DC3 is already more successful than Rhianna’s career.
Beyonce’s name is cemented already and no matter who comes after will never fade her. she has made a mark. she doesn’t care about sales and she has said that since way back in 2007. her focus is on her craft as a whole, and building her legacy.
@ timmy no 4 debuted #1 in 23 countries get that one right
@S*** (ITS R&Bey)
“Her Kingdom is already BUILT while rihanna is Still Buidling”
THERE YOU HAVE IT!! @ THE END OF THE DAY WHEN RIHANNA IS THE SAME AGE AS BEY TODAY (45 YRS OLD LMAO) SHE’LL BE JUST AS BIG.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU COMPARE HER TO ANY OTHER FEMALE ARTIST SHE’S STILL A MASSIVE FORCE WORLDWIDE AND LOCALLY.
Rihanna makes a collection of singles versus an album. Sure her label would like to see bigger album sales, but they know she’ll sale at least 20 million singles/ringtones after all is said and done. And the album will stay around long enough to move at least a million units in the US alone.. I’m sure they’d prefer that over 300k straight out the gate and falling off every week with no hit singles. (no shade)

@SAM: You are a shrewd businessman my friend…start a stan war and have all the lifeless trolls talk s*** and argue about stats…I like the way you think.
I saw someone above hit the nail on the head .. blogs and her fans take her way more seriously than most people .. I bought loud a few months ago after hearing california king bed and man down (yes I was extremely dissapointed) but its like I’m not rihanna fan I just heard some songs I liked LOL I feel like most ppl buy rihannas music this way which is why she NEVER has a big opening week .. No one cares really LOL
@TIMMY
4 debuted with 511K worldwide so over 60% of its sales was in the USA.
I guaranty u that TTT witll debut with about 600K worldwide and no 1 country will have contributed more than 33% of its total
It’s because she NEVER promotes it because she’s constantly on TOUR. I haven’t seen her promote an album in the U.S. since Good Girl Gone Bad!
@kimberly
NOW: AS I’VE SAID BEFORE BEYONCE IS 10 YRS AHEAD OF THE GAME AS RIHANNA AND THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS ARE COMPARING THEM IS AMAZING!!

BUT ANYWAYS, RIHANNA CAN SELL 1 F****** COPY IN HER FIRST WEEK, SHE’LL STILL EITHER OUTSELL OR SELL CLOSE AS MUCH AS BEY.
Veeeeeeeery aware of the fact that many or still trying to beat it into SOCIETY That RIHANNA Can’t pour p*** out of a Booth. Since Popular and opinions has been casdted then this only means that Rihanna and her Navy will have to really work extra hard to hold the lines on this FLOT TO LET SOCIETY AND THE STRONG HATERATIIN DOSAGES ON THE TALENTED ARTIST. RIHANNA Have got the dead coming back to life to CELEBRATE , BECAUSE OF HER ALBUM LEAK AND BECAUSE RIHANNS DOES NOT CUT THE MUSTARD FOR HER HATERS. The critics or a different group and while i do respect them i amd certain that RIHANNA, THE NAVY AND HER TEAM Will never ever turn Our Backs On her No matter what is printed, stated, and logged aganist her. Thank for the BIG
EYE WAKING SHOT OF GET OFF YOUR ASS RIHANNA AND YOUR NAVY AND PROVE YOURSELVES WORTHY, AND THAT WE WILL DO WITH LOADS OF GRACE, STYLE AND PURE RAW KICK YOU IN YOUR HATING ASSES ATTITUDES!!!!!!!! The big JOYOUS CELEVRATIONS HAS STARTED AS SOON AS NEWS OF HER ALBUM LEAD SURFED, AND THE LOOSERS, HATERS AND THE DEAD HAS BEEN CARRYING ON A CELEBRATION EVER SINCE. Now i am reminded of the thought that Be careful of digging
them Holes for Others because You could just fall into One YOURSELF. i Am also reminded that all of the Excitement over Her not going #1 could turn right back around with a SWIFTNESS AND BITE THE HATERS IN THEIR ASS. We will just have to figure out a way to stay stucked like glue together and see if we can’t work out a plan to Work Smarter & Harder to see if we can keep this cruse liner from sailing of Course now want We?
4 did not debut #1 in 24 countries. Itunes charts are not official national charts.
I want a list.
MORE LIES FROM THE BEY.H.I.Vs
4 FAILED to debut #1 in other anglo saxon countries with similar cultures such as New Zealand, Australia, Canada…
It also FAILED in other huge market such as France, Germany & Japan.
If Beyonce was such a big artist, the BeyH.I.Vs wouldn’t have to LIE about her stats everyday.
@TRUTH
B**** EVERYBODY knows that the world STARTS & ENDS with the UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!!
Rih not having that #1 is PATHETIC!!!!
6 Albums w/ only 6 MILLION sold in the US = PATHETIC!!!!
9 #1 Hits = NO #1 ALBUM is PATHETIC!!!!!!
B**** Bey sold 12 MILLION in the US with only counting 4 of her 8 Albums!! Count all of them & thats over 30 MILLION ALBUMS…
thats MORE than Rih-Navy sold WORLDWIDE to DATE!!!! 😉
OMG someons said that Beyonce is a wanna be local lmao.. Let me assume this must be a 10 year old.
Beyonce has gone places your favorite wishes to go. she has crown queen in places the public would not be fascinated by your favorite. beyonce has not been around the world promoting because she can’t while rihanna dragging her h***** ass everywhere. good try guys.
she did not make to list of icons and legends for no reason. they don’t call her queen for no reason. hell they don’t even call he king for no reason. She is highly respected unlike your fav.
I will repeat again. Rihanna is a hit or a miss. deal
@TRUTH
Why cant we compare Loud to IASF… A REAL POP ALBUM?? 😕
Rihanna has YET to match The Overall Success IASF era (The Sells/7.5M, The Actual MEMORABLE hits, the Tour, The Stats, accolades, Grammys, The Honers ETC)
#NEVER.
LOUD is the CLOSEST she ever came to IASF & still its a FAIL!
DONT mention BEY4 unless you want to get DRAGGED!!
WHY cant you Put rihanna up agaist KATTY, CACA, Nikki 😐
Why compare her to THE BEST when she cannot win against THE BEST???
@ririfan .. 4 back to back albums, performed with prince and tina turner, performed at the oscars 3 times, performed for barbara streistrand at the KENNEDY CENTER HONORS (if u dnt kno what that is rihanna stans don’t wrrry ull NEVER hav too, 16 grammys, sang for 3 presidents, superbowl performance, acclaim from the likes of diana ross, stevie wonder, michael jackson and aretha franklin, multiple sold out tours, apart of the biggest selling girl group in HISTORY etc etc I could go on my my fingers hurt .. And bey is lucky to be mentioned with rihanna??? HAHAHAHAHA rihanna stans are seriously twisted LOL
@s***
If the world started and ended with the USA, then Chris Brown, Beyonce & other local h** would have sold more albums ww.
The USA is nuthin but the most indebted country on earth. They live off borrowed Chinese money. That’s why they were downgraded. They owed over half of the entire worldwide debt.
The USA is broke and its best century was the last one.
SO YouFail.com
All bets or on Rihanna and her ability to stay the course
aganist all odds and all of the hate thats aganist her
and her Career Goal Posts. Many bytches commenting
is no place to be seen in the News, on the Charts and
Definitely on the Tour SCENES THEREFORE, Theres nothing
left for their FALLEN FROM GRACE Hating Big Bootys
to do but Throw B**** PARTIES AND HARP ON RIHANNAS SUCCESS
BIG OR SMALL.
@IT’S ALL GOOD!!!
November 23, 2011 at 8:38 am
It’s because she NEVER promotes it because she’s constantly on TOUR. I haven’t seen her promote an album in the U.S. since Good Girl Gone Bad!
_______________
4 & IASF werent Promoted well in the States either but it still went #1 😕
HAHAHAHA@ all the Rihanna stans busting blood vessels being mad. LOLOL@ ya’ll!
Rihanna sold 120 Million record >>>>> Beyawnce’s 75 Million record.
You fail again b****.
I am glad u re now showing ur real hater face cun instead of posing.
Can we start with her lyrics? The lyrics on TTT tracks are some of the most desperate and lamest ive heard all at the same time
Listen to birthday cake, do ya thing, red lipstick, cockiness just to mention a few
She shoulda had more songs like drunk on love, we all want love. The latter is my jam
whoever tries to downplay the US market is incredibly dumb LOL artists AROUND the world (and I’m trying to be an A&R and have interned at a lot of places) consider breaking the US market a major deal.. There is a reason when main stream artists hit it big in other places they sometimes rework they’re whole albums simply for the US market .. Like it or not in the industry the US hot 100 and US billboard 200 album charts are the top dogs..of course since rihanna doesn’t do well in the US the navy wants to downplay it which is understandable u stan for ur fave but its just not realistic lol
@ RIRIFAN , QUENN RIHANNA STILL CANNOT GET A # 1 ALBUM? WITH SIX ALBUMS . HER SALES ARE NOT IMPRESSIVE FOR SIX ALBUMS! SHE SUPPOSE TO HAVE HIT THAT MILESTONE ALREADY. ALMOST A DECADE AND ALL THE QUEEN HAS IS #1 SINGLES AND FACEBOOK FOLLOWERS?
QUEEN RIRI CANNOT GIVE A MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE TO DATE!
QUEEN RIRI CANNOT GET THE PUBLIC ON THEIR FEET
QUEEN RIRI CANNOT EVEN SING HER OWN SONGS LIVE FARE LESS A COVER
QUEEN RIRI DOESN’T EVEN KNOW MUSIC HER PRODUCER HAVE TO TELL HER THE NOTE SHE IS SINGING
QUEEN RIRI HAS NEVER BEEN FEATURED ON A MUSIC MAG
QUEEN RIRI IS NOT A GRAMMY FACTOR
QUEEN RIRI IS A PUPPET!
QUEEN RIRI CANNOT DANCE TO SAVE HER LIFE IN THE WILDERNESS
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS WHERE ARE HER CAREER HIGHLIGHTS. I HAVE BEEN ASKING FROM DAY ONE. IF SHE IS QUEEN WHAT HAS SHE DONE AS AN ARTIST. NOT FROM HER PRODUCER OR DIRECTOR OR MANGER. WHAT HAS SHE DONE AS AN ARTIST ‘ LOL GO TO SCHOOL B******
WHY DO YOU WANT TO COME FOR AN ICON. YOUR FAV IS FAR FROM THAT
the last beyonce’s singles are really forguetable and a true flop, her last good song was single ladies and i never listen any of the “4” songs in a club
rihanna it’s a really hit maker worldwide, stay ready for more #1 singles
TALK THAT TALK on repeat!!!!!
@Tc23 YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS #thatisall

MORE BeyH.I.Vs lies

It sold 3.2 Million in 2009 http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-2009.htm
Again, if Beyonce was accomplished, the BeyH.I.Vs wouldn’t need to lie so much to try to make herlook good.
@ TRUTHTELLER BEYONCE HAS SOLD 75 MILLION RECORDS SINCE 2007 ANNOUNCED FROM THE AMA’S THIS HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE PRESENT. SO YOU FAIL!!! SHE HAS HAD 2 ALBUMS AFTER THAT. TRY AGAIN
RIHANNA HAS NOT SOLD 120 RECORDS. STOP LYING B****.

rihanna just isn’t that good .. her material is like a one night stand its great for the moment then the next day u dnt care if u ever hear it again LOL her performances sometimes are so bad I wonder if they even rehearsed .. I mean she’s not a writer or producer, she doesn’t play an instrument (well I’ve seen her play the drums on tour and ill jus say she doesn’t play an instrument LOL), her voice live is so grating sometimes, her productions are starting to completely repeat themselves (roc me out is literally like a rude boy remix) I mean she just so basic in every way its a matter of time before ppl start exiting the navy ships LOL I mean u only stan for billboard stats and no raw talent for so long
@Tc23
NO1 IS TRYING TO TAKE ANY OF THOSE AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENTS AWAY FROM BEYONCE, I CANT SAY THAT ENOUGH! I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU ALL TRY AS HARD AS YOU CAN TO BELITTLE RIHANNA’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS. IT MAKES YOU ALL LOOK THREATENED FOR YOUR FAV
@skintightjeans
NO1 IS MAD BUT THE C*** IN YOUR ICON WHO’S NOSTRILS ARE SMALLER THAN HER LAST 2 ALBUM SALE #OOP
@kimberly
DAMN! I READ TOO MANY LIES IN THAT POST BUT EH? I’LL PUT IT LIKE THIS. SHE’S HUGE RIGHT NOW, SHE HAS BEEN 6 YRS IN A ROW SO THE ANGER YOU GUYS HAVE AND THE 1ST PERIOD CLASSES U ALL TAKE TO KEEP UP WITH HER SUCCESS ISN’T GONNA CHANGE THAT ONE BIT.
@S*** (ITS R&BEY)
Well you NEVER know! 🙂
TGJ is predicting WAY TOO early!
RIHANN FANS ARE THE MOST UNEDUCATED STUPIDEST FAN BASE EVER!! I JUST CAN’T WITH THE.
Beyonce represents a generation, she has rules over a decade. will you say the same for your favorite. #1 singles did not just give her her status
Billboard artist of the decade
france artist of the decade
RIAA artist of the decade
Billboard Millineum artist
grammy record. too manyy to mention
she owns every female in the game.no one has achieved what she has in that record time and with at the time 3 albums and your fav will release 10albums and still not have that status.
3 albums – your favorite still working to get there
This is ridiculous…
How about we ask the real question: How can Sam get the most viewers?
ANSWER: Bash Rihanna in a post.
This has gotten so out of hand. For someone that Sam doesn’t really care for, he sure loves talking about her. You’re good at what you do Sam. Really good.
But….
Why are you so pressed for a number 1 album from this girl? Why not destroy Beyonce and her terrible management. Or how Lady Gaga is nothing but a gimmick. Talk about anything else please…. BUT WHY RIHANNA! I’m a Rih stan, but you are making me despise her. (That’s probably what you want anyway lol)
@ririfan I would hav NEVER said anything to u had u not been like oh beyonce is lucky to be mentioned with rihanna which as I pointed out is a joke .. Rihanna stans are like rihannas the best beyonce sucks and as soon as the bey stans respond or say ummmm no were ATTACKING rihanna .. Plzz I’m not tryin to take anything away from rihanna but let’s not sit here and pretend that they’re accomplishments are even in the same ball park .. Hell even in the same country
@Danny
YouFail.com too
The US markethas lost its luter.
Just in the past 5 years Amy Wi.ehouse, Mika, James Blunt all become the biggest selling worldwide act of their calendar year and barely went platinum in the USA.
And even Adele wouldn’t neeed the US to be #1 worldwide.
Looked at the best selling artists these past 6 years from 06 (James Blunt), 07 (Amy Winehouse) 08(Coldplay), 09 (Susan Boyle), 10 (Gaga), 11 (Adele).
5 of them are from the UK.
Only Gaga from 2010 is a US Citizen.
So obviously, the US ain t s*** no more. The UK is the biggest cultural powerhouse there is due to their cultural influence on international market from the colonization day.
Why is Rihanna Charting still on Global Charts
And FIST BROWN, BOOTY/CHOOCHIE POPPING
BEYONCE & KELLY’S NAME CAN’T BE FOUND
EVEN AFTER PUTTING IN THEIR D&A SAMPLES?
@Kimberly
Maybe if u add Beyawnce & DC’s sales together.
Which is pretty sad in itself that she couldn’t even get a record deal as a solo artist and had to cling to 3 other girl just to enter the biz to start with.
I guess that s what the lessors have to do.
No offence to RiRi, but I reckon Chris Breezy has more overall talent. FAME was a killer and people need to get over what happened three years ago and respect him as an artist. Breezy and RiRi where so gooood together. I wish nothin ever happened <3333
I Mean after all all of them or SUPPOSED To
be so Much BETTER THAN RIHANNA??????
how do rihanna posts always become a let’s quote beyonces stats ..look at the first few comments NO ONE mentions bey until u scroll down and what the first thing u see BEY COULD NEVER (umm bey has LOL) .. Actually there is a bey stan in the first few comments talking about how they respect rihanna .. Beyonce has a lot of fans and if u talk about her they will attack yet the navy love to do it and I’m srry I’ve been reading these back and forths and the beyhive are owning you guys LOL
Why do RIH’S music holds on
to them legs so much longer, Longevity?
@Tc23
EITHER WAY YOU PUT IT, THIS POST IS HEADED WITH RIHANNA’S NAME AND YOU ALL COME IN HERE BRINGING UP OTHER GIRLS TO BELITTLE RIHANNA’S NAME. AND AS FOR THE SHADE @ HER SUCCESS IN OTHER COUNTRIES, SHE BREAKS US RECORDS ALL THE TIME, HINTS THE FACT HER NAME IS MENTIONED WITH MICHAEL JACKSON AND MADONNA ALL THE TIME.
why can’t rihanna get a number one album?? Because her albums aren’t good LOL its not rocket science .. this post only needed one comment
Fist has the great Talent and can dance
Some of Michael Jacksons Moves but
keeps sliding his Beat RIHANNA Down
ass back out to Sea?
@Kim
Damn, are u the one talking about uneducated?
Let me school ur sorry BeyH.I.Vs’ ass
I am pretty sure that Eminem was the billboard artist of the decade.
LMAO!
MORE LIES FROM THE BEY.H.I.Vs
Again, if Beyawnce was so accomplished, u wouldn t have to lie so much about her accomplishments.
LOL
@TRUTHTELLER
Thank you so much. That’s what I don’t understand. If anything, people should respect Rihanna for her accolades because she worked as a solo artist.
Bey would not have been anything if she had not had Destinys Child. She was able to stand out due to the fact of the other girls. When Bey went solo, she took a fan base that had already been established.
Rihanna had to work and work and work as a solo artist, which is always hard because you get all the criticism.
Why is “GGGB” Still charting on
the R&B Charts.
Why is LOUD still charting.
Some Old H** commented as to
why was we living in the pass Talking about “LOUD”
Well why do you empty heads always talk about BEYONE’S 16
GRAMMY’S She does after all have more GRAMMYS THAN
ANY ARTIST “DEAD OR ALIVE, SOOOOOOOO?????????????
@ririfan woah woah woaaaaaah I knoooo u didn’t jus mention rihanna with michael and madonna .. Plzzzz tell me I didn’t just read that .. u MUST be talking about just singles ONLY because it can’t be raw talent or real artisitc expression .. There’s no way the rihanna stans are that out of touch with reality
Rihanna is a artist of the Decade named
by bill board.
Rihanna was named artist of the Century in the Uk.
@JR,,,,, Okay and why can’t you get one.
@GREG
EVEN MJ’S DAUGHTER TWEETED HOW SHE LEARNED ABOUT RIHANNA FROM HER DAD AND HOW MUCH HE RESPECTED HER AS AN ARTIST SO YEAH I DID. PLUS RIHANNA IS COMPARED TO MADONNA 24/7
WHY IS THAT SO HARD TO BELIEVE??
RIHANNA >>>> EVERYTHING
hell yes Chris bown is a talent and he will get his shine again cause fame was a hell of an album. no denying that. sooner or later people will get tired of this b**** lackluster performances and vocals.
The public knows nothing about stats idiots, they don’t know s*** what they know is what they see, and so far only the artist that show case real talent are praised.
Rihanna is never praised for her talent. Chris brown has his people talking. oh hell gaga is a gimmick but her talent is visible. Beyonce is the king and the media has said it. it is published. but rihana not even her manager talks about her.
All icons and legends are known for their talent. What will she be known for. seasonal hit songs the next generation will dismiss? c’mon rihtards. give it up. come in for a better argument and not post some embarrassing sales stas from rihanna from 5 albums, whereas artist have doubled that in 2 or 3 albums. If you don’t know it is not impressive.
Why can’t Beyonce get a Hit single.
Amen, I honestly think that if she putS time into these albums, and waits for more than a year or two too relese SOMETHING, and have people wanting more, she’ll have people interested in her album.
But I think shes scared. if she does that, she’ll become irrelevent.
Why can’t FIST Out sell RIH???????
If anyone thinks that rihanna is going to outsell drake next week your bugging!!!! Rihanna is everything that sam explained. People invest in her singles and not albums because she has no talent!!! Even in the week of black friday she wont scan beyonce numbers? something is f****** wrong!! Beyonce came out with her cd a week before black friday and did 500k .. wtf .. the numbers speak for themselves
@Kimberly
Take that Chris Brown ish to another post. Notice Sam rarely posts anything about CB because he’s irrelevant. I’ll buy his music again once he proves he can stop having temper tantrums like a 5 year old.
@ MiroBoi
BEYONCE TOOK WELL OVER A YEAR WITH “4” SO LET’S NOT.
GOOD MUSIC EVERY YEAR >> DECENT OVER-RATED “CLASSIC” MUSIC EVERY 2-3 YEARS.
@ LAX
at least she is selling albums and not singles….. you feel me??
@MiroBoi Preach!!! Its the whole scared factor!!! I believe they put her out to keep the lights on at def jam
@kimberly
WRITING KING ON THE MIRROR WITH LIPSTICK DOESN’T MAKE U A KING ANY MORE THAN LYING AND SAYING YOU WROTE A SONG FOR ALL THE WOMEN MAKES YOU THE WRITER…HAHA
TALK THAT FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Rihanna is artist of the decade named by billboard. did my research and beyonCe was named female artist of the decade by billboard. ERROR.
The fact that rihanna name is now with madonna and Mj lmao. I am out. bye rihtards. This alone just proves that the navy is senseless and below the ages of 10. They are not worth my time. bottom line.
Get that # 1 album b******. Meanwhile Drake is # 1, nickleback is #2, ricunt is #3, she ain’t never doing it !! THE QUEEN IS ALWAYS PUNCHED DOWN. MTV PUNCH HER OWN. EMA’S PUNCH HER DOWN, HOT 200 PUNCH HER DOWN, EVEN THE FRANCE MEDIA PUNCHING HER DOWN. HER VIDEO CAN ONLY BE VIEWED AFTER 10. LOL. WAITING FOR THE GRAMMYS TO NOMINATE HER CLASSICS.
@LAX as @tc23 said …”4 back to back albums, performed with prince and tina turner, performed at the oscars 3 times, performed for barbara streistrand at the KENNEDY CENTER HONORS (if u dnt kno what that is rihanna stans don’t wrrry ull NEVER hav too, 16 grammys, sang for 3 presidents, superbowl performance, acclaim from the likes of diana ross, stevie wonder, michael jackson and aretha franklin, multiple sold out tours, apart of the biggest selling girl group in HISTORY etc etc I could go on my my fingers hurt .. And bey is lucky to be mentioned with rihanna??? HAHAHAHAHA rihanna stans are seriously twisted LOL””………rihanna could never and I will even been as bold to say WILL never achieve half of what beyonce has .. Rihannas achievements will always remain within billboardd
After her sold out Tour is over than she will have some time
to Promote and with all of the Excitement and attention showered on nher by her haters this will serve as the Back drop for her and her navy to really show their Muscles and keep working toward trying to keep that CRUSE LINER ON COURSE, YOU CAN BEST BELIEVE THAT.
Not to long ago there was loud laughter over her not selling out her concert tickets now she has sold out venture that many of the seasoned artist like FIST & KELLY Would be smiling all the way to the bank about and people know that her tour is doing well so they try another something to try to get next to her and her navy that they or so dam bitter about. RIHANNA For her age/time in it shes doing find and the world knows it.
Shes doing great and its Killing the haters and they know it. Keep running your mouths and laughting at RIHANNA Not getting to that #1 and remember That loose lips sinks ships!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU BEY FANS HAVE OFFICIALLY DE-VALUED THE WORD CLASSIC. MANY APPOLIGIES TO THOSE WHO ACTUALLY HAVE CLASSIC. THE ONLY THING BEYONCE HAS “CLASSIC” IS HER ONE IN A MILLION GOOFBALL NAME
LOL@ RiRiFan calling the Queen wig snatcha in my profile pic a c***. Why get mad at Janet just because Rihanna is not up to par. When Rih gets on the same level as Janet or Beyonce, then talk to me. Rihanna is going have to do a whoooooooooooooooooooooole lot before she can even sniff Miss Jackson’s drawls. And this ain’t about Janet. This is about Rihanna not selling albums you dumb b****.
Rihanna isright up therewith Madonna & MJ as a WORLDWIDE ICON.
And u will deal.
IF YOU ARE NOT A RIHANNA FAN….GET OUT OF THIS POST!!!
@skintightjeans
YOU SOUND MAD IF YOU ASK ME LOL
AND WHY WOULD RIRI HAVE TO SNIFF JANET’S DRAWS?? PERHAPS IS IT CUZ JANET CANT SMELL THEM WITH THOSE PENNY NICKLE NOSTRILLS SHE OWNS?? PLEASE DONT INDULGE IN A CONVO ABOUT QUEEN RI WHEN YOUR FAV IS PRETTY MUCH NON EXISTENT THESE DAYS. U CAN BRING UP OLD STATS ALL U WANT BUT WERE IN 2011. THATS WHAT MATTERS NOT 1800. SO TAKE YOUR NOISE SOMEWHERE ELSE ALONG WITH UR ATROTIOUS ASS ICON
RIHPHOBIA: FEAR THAT RIHANNA JUST MIGHT DO EVERYTHING BETTER THAN YOU’RE FAV WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT…..
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO THE COCKY GOATS ARE QUIET NOW.
THE KING SOLD 310K WITH NO HIT
BOW DOWN B******
@SEAN While we all know and the world knows about beyonces accomplishments yet you and the likes of the bee hive wants all of the Award, accolades, and Accomplishments to go the her, Why???????????
SO If i understand you SEAN since i will say WHITNEY, MARIAH, AND CELINE Came along and did so good and broke records and won countless Awards, Accomplishment ect R U Saying that NO ONE ELSE WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE MUSIC./ Look while i try to be civil its just the DEVIL ‘S
Evil mind set that says that even though others has accomplished things in the music industry now Rihanna needs to fall back and let GA Ga, Taylor,
Kesha, Jo Jo, Kelly, FIST, bey, Adele, Drake, Wayne, 50, eminem, U2, coldplay, nicki, kim, nas, marley all of the artist thats in the Music Industry
they or supposed to keep getting paid and you and the haters feel that just because RIHANNA Do not sound like beyonce or work her ass as hard and drop choochie juice and sweat all over the stage RIHANNA Shoul just bow dow and say good bye to her career and dreams because she don’t sound good enought???????B******* RIHANNAS NOT GOING NO
MOFO WHERE BUT UP AND BECAUSE OF YOU AND COUNTLESS OTHER HATERS ATTITUDE TOWARD RIHANNA THAT IS THE FUEL SHE AND HER NAVY NEED TO TAKE IT ALL THE MOFO WAYYYYYYYY PASSS THE PUKKKKKKIN TOP BYTCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sam instead of worrying about why Rihanna can’t score a #1 album, you need to be taking some of the ads off this site because it’s slowing the site down even with my XFINITY! I know Christmas is coming up and you need the extra money but gotdamn this is RIDICULOUS!
Rihanna sucess is limted and with hte help of song writers and producers.
She will never be able to hold her own to even perform with her idol which is Beyonce
She will not be able to sing the national anthem
she will not be able to impress anyone at the oscars
she will never be ask to join the OSCAR ACADEMY like her idol
she will not be chosen to sing to the president more than once
She will not be chosen to headline the biggest festival in the world
She will not be able to dominate the music industry.
She will not ever have more movies than her idol, nor have a successful business, without her team of hundreds.
she will not be the decade artist, nor own a millineum award.
reason for that is because her talent is limited. It is limited to billboard hot 100 with the help of payola, and the exception of clothes
F*** RIHANNA AND HER DUMB YOUNG OVERSEXXED NAVY!! WHY THE NAVY SO BROKE? WHY THE NAVY DONT BUY ALBUMS??? BROKE B******!!!!!
@ririfan, you are so right about the “little effort”. That is why she will soon be gone. You all should demand that she put more effort into her work. What kind of artist allows other people to take craetive control of their work. As an artist the point is not to break records but to do your best work, which if very good WILL end up breaking records. The point is to express what you feel, think or see. Not take other people’s creative ideas and sell it for them. She has potential though and will achieve greatness if she takes control but the fans need to stop making excuses and make demands instead!!
HATERS EAT YOUR HESRTS OUT AND STAY TUNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@kimberly Morning kimberly!!! Lets drag these b****** by their skulls!!! How the f*** beyonce come out when its not a holiday and sell 307k???? who the f*** is madd?? no top 10 singles at all!!!!! Rihanna f***** sucks!!! period she is a single seller not a album dweller ! TALK THAT FLOPPPP YOU BROKE NAVY B****** GET SOME MONEY TO SHOP.. BECAUSE WHEN BEYONCE DROP! THE BEYHIVE COPPS!!!!
@KAT DELUNA FAN

HEARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Please.
let’s not talk about Ms. I-wouldn’t-be-famous-if-it-wasn’t-for-my-brother.
THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 4 GOOD SONGS ON RIHANNAS CD TO ME
Rihanna sold in 2 days & 1 performance what 4closure sold in a whole week & multiple festival performances.
U MAD?
@BARBIE
THE POINT ISNT TO BREAK RECORDS YET THATS ALL PEOPLE USE AGINST RIHANNA AND SHE DOES DO HER BEST WORK. SHE MAKES MUSIC FOR THE NAVY NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE THAT BORING NON DARING MUSIC. WE’RE HAPPY SO WE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOU ALL LIKING THE MUSIC TBH
@REX
..I think to rihannas younger fans she’s the QUEEN which I never go on blogs and try to fight them even when they foolishy attack beyonce who let’s face it her time in destinys child alone trumps rihannas entire career ..
————————————————————————————
Hahaha, seriously. it does
@TruthTeller
“Oh Please.
let’s not talk about Ms. I-wouldn’t-be-famous-if-it-wasn’t-for-my-brother.”
NOT A LIE WAS TOLD AND LMFAO!! @ U CALLING UN4TUNATE…4CLOSURE!!
@RiRiFan, now I know you must be crack baby. I’m a fan of Rihanna you slow short bus riding broad. I have tons of faves and Miss Jackson is one of them but why would I be mad? I’m not on here defending a person who can’t sell ALBUMS. Janet has sold albums, singles, DVD’s and everything else that YOUR fav can’t do. Please take a seat under the bus and hush yo mouth. And you’re right, Rihanna can’t sniff Miss Jackson’s drawls. She ain’t good enough.
@@TEAMFOXYDONDIVA
BYE!! IF U WANNA DRAG ANYTHING, DRAG UR MOUSE TO THE RED X IN THE TOP CORNER. YOU’RE NAME SAYS DON DIVA SO YOU’RE BOUND TO HAVE NOTHING REASONABLE TO SAY.
lol
@ TEAM FOXY, They ain’t got s*** to put on the table but very average sales of 5 f****** album and 11 #1 generic singles. i cannot even remember half of them. They call her queen but she doesn’t even have a biography. we don’t even know if she really came from the barbados cave. They want to call her queen when her last two performances on the factors sucked. Them b****** need to come harder, tell me if your b**** can be favored more than mine and how. how the f*** she gonna be respected .
My fav had a leak for one month over 3 million illegal downloads. no promo, no world tour, no hit singles, and she still did over 3oo k. your b**** was on a world tour, hit singles, #1 singles, 1 1/2 wk leak and still cannot get 300k and the navy want to talk about promo. what happen to the #1 single, what happen to xfactor and ellen and the radio stations. what else she need, she need another punch in her 5 head to get that #1 album.
@skintightjeans
PA-LESE!! UR A RIHANNA FAN BUT YOU RUSHED IN HERE AS SOON AS U COULD TO BE NEGATIVE. BIATCH BYE, U ARE MAD AS HELL IT SHOWS IN UR POST, I ACTUALLY FELL THE ANGER IN UR TYPING. ANYWAYS U PROOF THAT FLOP STANS DO EXIST. U CAN EITHER STAY HERE AND FEEL LIKE UR PROVING A POINT OR GO HELP JANET FIX HER FACE
America is the least supportive market when it comes to Rihanna albums. Her huge sales numbers come from manly Europe especially the UK. She seems to not connect with the American public when it comes to albums.
@KIMBERLY
YOU’VE BEEN PREACHING AND TEACHING ALL DAY ABOUT RIH
ALL ANYONE IS GONNA LEARN IS THAT U CARE WAAAAAY TO F****** MUCH HAHAHA
um ur only talking about the US coz shes had number albums UK, ireland, canada, sweden to name a few and 2 of her biggest albums GGGB sold 7 million worlwide and LOUD sold 8 miilion worldwide and both of these were 5x platnium on the UK each. so dont go saying that her album sales are lackluster just becuase she doesnt have as much album success in the US as the rest of the world. she doesnt need a #1 album, she just needs to sell consistantly and keep putting out great songs, and with 4 platnium/multi platium albums (5 to come) in the US and ALL OVER THE WORLD, i’d say shes on the right track. u dont get to have 11 #1’s by sitting on your ass all day writting blogs with names like thatgrapejuice and interviewing B-C list artists…
To all the navy, you talk so much s*** and your favorite thinks otherwise. Remember who is constantly begging for the collaboration.
Every artist thinks it is an honor to work with kingbey. Every single one of them.
All the goats follow ririfan to the graze some grass.* hands the stick to the RiRifan* direct them. meeehhhhhh
I’m not mad at all boo boo. I’m good. And so is Janet. If Janet never sold another album in her life, she would STILL be more legendary, famous, respected, have more grammys, AMA’s, Billboard awards, fans, money, fame and humbleness than Rihanna. Just because I’m a fan and not a f***** STAN for Rihanna means that I will not ignore facts and the fact is Rihanna can’t sell ALBUMS. Chile bye. This is like playing with a retarded kid on the playground and you make me bored….
@KIMBERLY
UR STILL HERE IN THIS VERY BLOG POST PROVING THAT BEY FANS HAVE NOTHING NEW OR CLASSIC TO LISTEN TO….LMFAO!!
THE UNTALENTED GOAT AND HER TEAM OF 658718913 SONGWRITERS STILL A NON FACTOR.LAME ASS NUMBER ONE SINGLES FOR BUBBLE GUM CRAPPY ASS S***
@skintightNOSTRILLS
AGAIN…BC TO AD. RIHANNA SELLS IN EVERY ASPECT OF HER CAREER, U AND MANY OTHERS ARE FURIOUS SO UR NOT ALONE. OKAY?
hahahhahahah flop that flop 😉
rihanna!!! shoulda sent a thankyou note ya lil hoooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lmaooooooo talk that floppppppppppppppppp
@ ririfan I have time to do so. You seem so pressed go cry cause the navy was talking s*** about people sales. you wanted 500 k right? fail. who gives a f*** about rihnana. i want to be part of an artist I will be proud of 30 yrs from now, so i can say i was with him or her, or i remember that moment. Take a break educate yourself about music and talent and see that your b**** have none.
don’t come fro janet either cause you are making a fool out of yourself.
@KAT DELUNA FAN
SAYS THE FAN OF A SANDY CHEEKS LOOK-A-LIKE WHO’S BIGGEST CAREER HIGHLIGHT WAS AN OMARION COLLAB….OKAY HAUX
SOOOOO Its okay for the american artists to do work on their albums, ads,
magazine covers, endorsements, gap their legs on stage, but its not okay for RIHANNA, Is that Right????? Its okay for Artists like mariah, mary j, beyonce, monica, kelly to do any kind of music and ventures they want to to make money but not RIHANNA. Many artist double task while touring but RIHANNA Had better not. JENNIFER Can dance and work her fine tight ass till all the 12 old men with the PACE MAKERS Sitting on the front row passes out and
jennifer Can freely dress as she pleases in some designers barely their stage outfits as long as RIHANNA DON’T DO IT. BEY Can stay rich and famous and make all the money and win all the grammys, accolades, and awards as long as RIHANNA SEXIEST WOMAN ALIVE DON’T DO THE SAME. FIST Can move similar to MJ Thats okay as long as RIHANNA Don’t do it. KELLY Can dress next to NEKKKKKKKKKID AS A JAY BIRD, WINE AND GRIND HER ASS AGANIST MEN DANCERS AND GAP HER LEGS WIDE AND HUG ELEPHANTS ON STAGE AS LONG AS RIHANNA DON’T DO IT, SHITTTTTT WHAT EVER ELSE CAN ALL THE ARTIST DO AND
THE HATERS WANTS RIHANNA TO BECOME THE FLYING NUNNN AND BUTTON UP ALL THE WAY UP FRONT TO HER NOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@KIMBERLY
ANY1 WHO KNOWS RIHANNA KNOWS SHE’S NOT GONNA SELL 500K (IN THE US) THE FIRST WEEK. SO FAIL? MORE LIKE THE HUGE DEBUT U EXPECTED FOR “4” OR THE DEBUT @DIRTYDONDIVA EXPECT FOR JANET.
FLOP THAT FLOP LMAO OKAY WE’LL SEE LONG DOWN THE LINE WHEN RIHANNA GOES ON TO SELL ANOTHER 6MIL WORLDWIDE 😉
@ Kimberly
I never knew that you like Rihanna !
You know what Rihanna needs to take a break after this album !
Because this new album she has is HORRIBLE !
Cockiness sounds like something a 9 yr. old would write .
I really enjoyed the Loud Era !
I cant believe that she rushed it to get into this ERA ! 🙁
So yeah Rihanna go take a BREAK !
Learn how to dance more, sing better LIVE,
create everlasting music !
@ MISSIMPARTIAL
Which is paradoxical with the amount of #1 she had there.l dont understand 😕
@KIMBERLY I know you or not trying to tell a navy Ofc. to go and cry bytch you or on every single RIH Post s*** talking her and her navy you ENVIOUS, HATING ASS MAGGOT,,,You go and find you mofo fave since you roost on all of RIH’S POST LIKE A CHICKEN ON A EGGS. How dare you and any one question the navy about our fave you hating skunk! GET lossed go and wash your ass you or starting to smell just like the HATEFUL SKUNK YOU R!!!!!!!!!!
@ RIRIFAN
But that flop b**** doesnt needall china demography to write her s***.she does it herself.
@Jamir
l agree with you,she needs a break and a better image and music.it’s unthinkable to see someone like Nicki or JCole debut with bigger first week 😕 🙄
IF YOU DON’T LIKE RIHANNAS APPLES DON’T
SHAKE HER TREE, SHES NOT AFTER YOU
SHE SAYS YOU R AFTER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that flop b**** says kiss her tight ass, haters
@KAT DELUNA FAN
she does it herself?? maybe she does need the whole world to write her s***
i refuse to let u believe u have any right to talk about rihanna when ur a kat fan sorry. anybody but you, you’re just as foul as the next lmfao!!
@ Kat Deluna Fann
Yeah because Rihanna is WAY BIGGER than Nicki and JCole !
In the states and the world !
It is so funny to hear Rih-Ho stans even suggest that Rih-Ho need to take time off to “grow”,foolz pleeze! People with no talent will never grow in their artistry because they lack the talent to do so.
Rih-Ho is just hoping her tone deaf fans never figure that she can’t sing or dance.
So once again people get to hear her ridicuulous fans “play down another flop”….
@ jamir yes I was a rihanna fanatic and was very sensitive when my family or friends spoke about her. but there is just that much I can take. she has come cute songs, and she has potential. she is from the Caribbean and island girls know how to kill it and she is not killing it. when i thought she would get better than loud she get worst. sing about lick my persuasion
I am not a hater but i would love to see her improve and I would support her. case close i am not a delusional fan who thinks that she is great. she is not. Good luck to her success but i don’t want to imagine another album in november. The navy need to acknowledge and tell her. she is on twitter 24/7. Or maybe the navy is scared because she always curses out someone.
i will be a fan again when she has good material.
@RIRI FAN
You are probably new here and dont know me ➡
@JAMIR21
Yes she is,she is def’ bigger than Katy perry or Nicki but why can she sells more than them first week? Def Jam rushed the s*** and there is no anticipation Death Jam sucks
America the biggest music market in the world isn’t here for Rihanna and trite albums. I mean most of the music buying public would rather buy her singles than her microwave albums. She really needs to go on a long extended break and get better inspirations.
ITS AS SIMPLE AS 1-2-3 IF YOU DILSIKE RIHANNA
LEAVE HER *UKING POST AND DON’T WORRY ABOUT
THIS,,,,,,,,HER FANS/STANS HAS GOT THIS ROLLER COASTER
ON LOCK, AND NO HATERS NEED TO WORRY THEMSELVES
INTO A BRAIN FLOP, OR STROKE OVER RIHANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVERY BYTCH AND THEIR 12 PUPPIES
WANTS SOME OF RIHANNAS FINE ASS!!!!!!
@KAT DELUNA FAN
Hey you back. I don’t understand either she should be shifting 500+ first week as she always tops the charts. Even new comers such as Katy, Kesha, JCole and Drake manage to get a number one.
@ Kat Deluna Fann
Yes i know Def Jam does suck !
But I cant talk that much because i want to be an entertainer
like Beyonce, Rihanna, Gaga and I want to be signed to Def Jam !
@ LAX, you are starting to smell just like rihanna h***** when she sweats on stage. Ever wonder why she is afraid to move around on stage or dance a lot?
you seem really upset. but face the facts and the truth hurts. let me tell you again
If after 6 album rihanna debut at 200K #3 on the charts. what will she debut with after 9 more years when the next generation is coming out? stay mad. stay pressed.
The Us is important and this is the home of her label. if the navy wasn’t starting s*** every time, things would not get nasty. you throw shade when you know you fav is the s***!
@ Kimberly
Okay
@KAT DELUNA FAN
don’t know you?? sorry to bust that lifeless bubble of yours this is the internet so no1 knows ur lame ass or kat deluna’s uberIRRELEVANT ass! lmfao
you tried tho.
Yes her doctor even said that she needs a BREAK !
I guess Jay-Z is kind of cruel because he wants those big `000s !
Instead of telling Rih to take a vacation !
I guess those 000`s are more important to him instead her life !
@ MISSIMPARTIAL
She should.it’s like the more she has single success in the US,the less she grabs their attention musically.It’s like everybody knows that rihanna has cute song but her albums suck.it’s really sad ..she has yet to convince people on the artistic value of her work,that’s the sad truth.
@ JAMIR21
Def Jam doesnt let rihanna has some artistic freedom like Nicki or Gaga have.They do want they want flop or not.Good luck with your goals 😕
@Jamir
Did you buy the album??
@ JAMIR
l swear Jay & the team doesnt care about her smh 🙄
@ RIRI
Lol l said it because l am also a Bey fan..you know the KING B,untouchable KING B fan 😆
@ Kat Deluna Fann
I know
The only artist freedom that Rihanna had was Good Girl Gone Bad era
besides the re-releases
@ Missismpartial
No !
I`m going to go buy Good Girl Gone Bad and B`Day instead
@KAT DELUNA FAN
Maby they can’t afford the album. Lol I don’t know why Rihanna is not releasing the Loud Tour on DVD like all the other artist are doing right now.
@ Kat Deluna Fann
I know they dont !
@ Missimpartial
Yeah why isnt she ???????
@MISSIMPARTIAL
Because the DVD biggest maket is the US.But if she cant sell albums there .. 😕
the IAT sold like shipped 200k first week,ya kow what l mean
@ JAMIR21
Even during the GGGB era it was really minimal cause rih loved other muis than pop since she came out.l dont know we’ll see in the future
@ Kat Deluna Fann
Yes we`ll see in the years to come
IM DONE
@rirfan
you were the one who said “with little effort”. I think you know she puts in minimal effort.
@JAMIR21
Why buy those albums why don’t you listen to them on Youtube.
@KAT DELUNA FAN
Lol you are right.
I Love To See How 90% of the people on this site are Beyonce and Mary J fans.Mary’s album will sell trust me.Beyonce’s album is still selling and will continue to.It was fun to see 500 comments on the MJ and Rih post.Everyone is annoyed with Rih’s fans.Talking s*** to everybody now look at em.I got that trash on bootleg,she’s not getting anymore of my money and I’m never going to see her in concert again,I’m tired of being disappointed.Shell have a 7th album by next summer.Rolls Eyes.Jay get that doe.Def Jam get that doe.Lmao they work her ass to death,like she’s in a damn sweatshop.I’m glad Beyonce is still benefiting from her and her stupidass fans.Jay Z was a smart business man.SMH Gotta Love It!
THE B**** IS A FLOP!!!
AND CAN BARELY PUSH FIRST WEEK NUMBERS! LMAOOOO
GODDESS GODGA SLAYED THIS B**** EASILY!!
SIPS MASCOTO!
Rhrianna needs to go suck more d****….maybe that would improve her vocal skills….smh…..
Def Jam and Roc Nation Don’t Suck The Talent Of The Artist Suck! I Rock With A Lot Of The Artists from Def Jam.I will be getting Jeezy’s album too next month.Rick Ross is a beast.Big Krit and several others are very talented.Maybach and YMCMB are beast as well.People love s*** that they can relate to.This garbage for music is just not what’s up.Sorry!
@ Another queen will be born.
You went to her concert? Her fans say is is always great but some people i know said that they wanted they money back and they are like 24, 25.
I feel the same way. I was tired of giving chances asn being disappointed whereas there are artist who burst their asses with their talent. It’s time people send their money wisely

@ririfan I would hav NEVER said anything to u had u not been like oh beyonce is lucky to be mentioned with rihanna which as I pointed out is a joke .. Rihanna stans are like rihannas the best beyonce sucks and as soon as the bey stans respond or say ummmm no were ATTACKING rihanna .. Plzz I’m not tryin to take anything away from rihanna but let’s not sit here and pretend that they’re accomplishments are even in the same ball park .. Hell even in the same country
—————————————————————————————–
Seriously, i honestly dont know why these two are compared so much.
FACT is beyonce is way ahead of the game, rihanna in no where near her.
Dont know why some thinkg rihanna is better, thats not only a joke, but who ever says that needs serious help…
@ missimpartial
no because i want to have a big beyonce and rihanna collection
@Are you serious
Every artist would sell a lot if they could sell it for 99 cent. It is cheating if 400K are sold because they are 99cent.
@Jamir
Ok.
@Kimberly Yes I have gone to her concert this year,she did a concert for the tornado victims in Birmingham Alabama.I like the see dance moves and see an artists moving and singing from their heart.It wasn’t all that good it graded a C-.I’ve also been to several Beyonce concerts as well.Our family travel to see her and spend a lot of money on her tickets because we get our money’s worth out of it.Beyonce Is The Truth.That’s why she has a fanbase that will always support her.Don’t get me wrong I like Rihanna I have man down on my ringtone,I have all of her cds and I’ve bought them from the store except this one.I’m just never happy after I hear her music a couple of times I’m done.Plus I loved her more before.I looked at the We Found Love video yesterday.My Gawd what a mess she’s becoming and Chris Brown looks just like that guy in it.The arguing in the car scene….. My MY My!!!! She just seems to be going down hill image wise.I don’t know what’s going on with her but its not good I tell you that.I like her but her lackluster songs suck and her fans Really Suck.Bragging like she’s more than what she is.SMH.If she cleans her image up and makes some good music and hire a choreographer maybe I will jump back on her team.Until then to the bootlegger I will go.Pretty young lady just seems to have a dark cloud over her to me.Somethings Off about her.She’s definitely not happy.
Excuse My Typos I’m sitting up under the hair dryer at the salon,while on my phone.Anyway I still want Rihanna to succeed,all of the artists are doing their thing.I just want waste anymore of my ends on music that I’m not happy with.
RIHANNA FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
The navy is mad and upset this morning , what really going on with y’all girl….like I always say you can’t compare Rihanna to Beyonce. Not goning to be mean and just leave it at that 🙂 Happy Holidays ….beehive don’t go in too bad mama told us to tone it down lol
I don’t think she can build a strong fanbase like Britney Spears, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. She’s just released her 6th album, there are no excuses for it not hitting #1. Rihanna willl always need to release generic songs, change her personality and look, record with top producers, etc. Without support of successful singles, people won’t buy her albums. She’s a long-run seller, therefore she needs to release back-to-back hits.
I think the fact that she releases a new album every year is bad as well. People are getting tired of her. Honestly, I used to love Rihanna but since “Loud”, I can’t stand her anymore. It isn’t about the music itself, it’s all about numbers. Even her fans can only talk about numbers. If we say that she sounded completly off-key on X-Factor, they say “she has got 10 #1 hits. U MAD?”.
I feel like Def Jam is desperate to sell as fast as they can, like Rihanna won’t be relevant anymore in the next 5 years so they’re milking her to death. I don’t know. When I see a Rihanna’s album on shelves, I see just a label’s product not a real piece of inpiration, work and talent.
I think GGGB and Rated R will stand as her most solid works.
I wouldnt go as far as saying shes a flop, i enjoy her music,
But idk, talk that talk album is not what i call a great album.
@ jamir21
Yes her doctor even said that she needs a BREAK !
I guess Jay-Z is kind of cruel because he wants those big `000s !
Instead of telling Rih to take a vacation !
I guess those 000`s are more important to him instead her life !
——————————————————————————–
Not trying to fight with you jamir21, i promise,
just saying no body is putting a gun to her head making her do everything shes doing.
She can stop for a year if she wants, she just has to make sure she still has her fan base to come back too. Her team of hundreds not just jay can tell her to take a break, that is ultimitally up to her. You know what i mean?
@ Josh
Yes I know what you mean
after reading all of the above comments , i think i should get back to STANNING for beyonce as well !!
@BEY’knight :
as much as i hate to say it ” as a rihanna stan” , i feel like i’m dumb when i focus on lyrics ” since english is not my native language ” !
but i agree , ONLY the tracks you just mentioned are the ones i felt the real rihanna in , others i felt like she want to be someone she is NOT ! i’m tired of her talking about S&M and cake cake cake cake cake cake !!
and that’s coming from a semi-disappointed rihanna stan 🙁 !
i wanted to see growth , like when she did with RR , and she gave me LOUD PT.2 ” not even close , but anyway ” !! 😯
i will still support her ! but here i gave my
REAL thoughts beside the whole stanning s*** i am known for !!!
@S*** :
b**** please !
BEY’s 4 is not even a successful album compared to her other albums ” with their multiple releases , YO REMEMBER H** ? ”
and u wanna compare IASF to LOUD ?!
i do not think you want it b**** ! how many times IASF was re-released ?!
how many ?
how many attempts to get a hit after SL ?!
HOW MANY ?
and she said it was ALL about the singles , i know your ” stanning for BB homemaker ” ASS knows that !
so 4 is not even a successful album , let alone being a flop , i do not like that word and i do not use it when i talk about BEY cuz i love and respect the woman , but please , DO NOT TRY TO DO IT !
do not TALK numbers IN A RIHANNA POST or u will get dragged ! but i will forgive you cuz this is your first warning , u still got 2 cuz i know stans from BYE-HIVE like you are that dumb and repetitive !!
buh-byeee C*** !!
Please, please, please let Rihanna debut at #1 so I will never have to read this recycled post again–damn!
1) i cannot stand the Beyoncé vs. Rihanna nonsense. Their music have absolutely nothing in common–nothing. I just don’t get it.
2) Say what you will about Rihanna, the album will do very well in the long run–it always does. Because I loved “Rated R,” I hoped that she would take a little more time off to perfect “Talk That Talk” so it could get on that level. I’m just praying that she releases “We All Want Love” as a single so it will get the video treatment. Great song! But it’s whatever, all that matters is that her fans enjoy “TTT”
* bumping MJB’s ‘Don’t Mind’ *
Why do the navy think people are hating? just because the mass don’t like here and feel as if she needs to improve don’t mean people hate her. Grow up kids
Because she is pure crap! And even her fans know it. The moment she get fat or uglier, that´s the moment her career definitely ends. I hope it comes soon
LOL!@ Samatha and her TACTICS!!! I guess this QUEEN peeped in the fridge and couldn’t find so much a dried out chicken bone so HERE WE ARE with this post! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I wont rehash all thta what was said in the other Queen RIh post WE WILL wait and see the numbers on a WEEK TO WEEK basis. We Will wait and watch as this album SNATCHES 4CLOSURE’S WIG with EFFORTLESS ease and then see what Samatha has to say!!!! Gurl you a f****** fool with this PREDICTABLE trite!!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Rihana fans are funny money…LMAO.. They bashed Beyonce fans for using the same excuses now they turn right around and boldly use the same excuse…LMAO>>LMAO>>>>
@JOHNVIDAL So in other words you want her to look like yourself?! LOOLLLLLLLLLLL!!! GURL jennycraig, weight watchers, taebo motherfucking zumba the weight away!! Instead you up in this bish wishing ppl get overweight and disgusting like your fat washy ass!! You ain’t s***!!
@DAVID whats Grandma Bey’s excuse for having ALL THAT PROMO, ALL THESE VIDEOS, A MOTHERFUCKING DVD AND STILL not reaching platinum with 4 closure. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Rihana fans bashed Beyonce fans for using the same excuses, now they turn right around and boldly use the same excuse…LMAO>>LMAO>>>>
——————————————-
i agree with you on that one David,
I wish Def Jam could give her a time to record an album by herself. I’d like to see her sharing her experiences of traveling around the world, meeting different people and cultures, showing her feelings and thoughts, etc.
I’d like to see her training her vocals and stage presence to become a better version of herself. She has got a good voice, she just doesn’t know how to use it. I feel like she’s stuck, I barely see any growth as an artist and performer.
If Rihanna wants to be a legend, she needs to push herself harder. History has proven that #1 hits don’t make you a legend. She needs pop culture phenomenons and memorable performances. She needs to take risques. Stop doing this generic made-by-numbers songs, it’s hot today but no one will care about it tomorrow.
Unfortunately, I can’t see her as an artist, an iconic or whatever, she’s a product. She has got a lot of personality to be only a product, but she needs to step out of the box. She can’t let Def Jam control her career, her image and herself anymore. They gave her fame, she’s giving them money. Now, she needs to be known as artist and an icon. Another #1 hit won’t change anything.
@ another queen, same here. Those who think that her rebellious attitude and her image is good. Guys no it is not good. My family is turned off by it. A lot of people are turned off by it. It is getting old. My little cousin 10 yrs don’t listen to her music anymore after her last video. It is beyond disgusting. It is already banned in france. I have sense and I won’t give an artist my money to get richer. i support an artist who is giving me my money’s worth.
Not everybody hates rihanna, they speak the truth, and sam goes a little over some times but he speaks the truth. whoever thinks T TT is a great album is just too embarrassed to admit that it is not. Even if i was a die hard fan i would not buy it. I don’t own loud but i would prefer buy loud than ttt.

@ Gilberto
Yes best comment
Well she did take a risk “Rated R” but that ended up nowhere
@Kimberly are you 50 plus GURL? LMFAO! GURL take you old prude ass retirement home f****** ass outta here!! Queen Rih makes music for HER generation and not these old ass m************ that cringe and squirm and EVERY GODDAMN sh1t. TTT is a GREAT album even better than LOUD IMO and there’s not one iota of embarrassment here!! You a f****** messy hypocrite too cause you all up in this bish trying act all high and might on music taste and was popping your p**** to songs like video phone, check on it, diva, ego AND THE LIST GOES ON!! F*** OUTTA HERE!!
I hate to add this (know I dont) but she has matured, what you hear is what’s there. You cant build a castle with no bricks, Rihanna is nothing more than sand. Yeah she has nice songs but she cant, to this day do anything with them. Again! people are tired of the same ole s** positions this girl keeps giving them. Every year why? If she is this great VOCALIST biggest lie ever than why want she take a break and do the clothes? You know why this girl can come out every year with a new album? because she is not singing them live if you backtrack and lip sync and get away with it likes she do why not keep putting out stuff. Her last two performances of WFL has been nothing more than backtracking and if you watch she cant even do that right. She is famous for bending over and sticking the mic out for the audience can sing with the help of backtracking and backup singers. You cant party and drink/drugs also, make another album, do shows with her lack of talent. GIMMICK and the more you stans buy the more she will continue to come out, if this one dont go #1 by x-mas this year she will have another one out they will put the other songs that did not make the cut on this one… She knows a hit!!
@WHY you a damn lie ho!! Chick may not be the best vocalist but 99% of the time she’s live. Heck most I’ve seen her use a backing track was on X factor US recently. You know damn-well she used to get crucified too cause of it in the early stages of her career but kept doing her performances live till she got better at it!! These b****** today….SMH

@ Whut
TTT is not better than Loud
Take yo delusional pressed ass somewhere else
TTT is Better than LOUD!!! DEAL weak fake ass fan DEAL!!
@GILBERTO, I agree with the others, great comment.
What is so frustrating to me is that when she did take a risk with “Rated R,” like @Jamir21 said, people treated Rihanna like she was crazy or something. In so many ways, they were telling her “we don’t want you to be introspective,” “we don’t want you to really write or sing interesting songs,” just give us some thinkless pop music.
It’s her career. I’m not gonna pretend like I know better than her. But I will continue to wait for an album on “Rated R’s” level because I know she can do it.
We’ve seen this before: Madonna’s “Erotica” Janet’s “The Velvet Rope” “Rihanna’s ‘Rated R” Beyonce’s “4”
These are fantastic albums but as soon as an artist does a serious piece of work, many fans react negatively.
“Erotica” and “The Velvet Rope” are now classics but people hated them when they first came out because they were so different than their previous work. In other words, they were too difficult for a lot of people.
It’s too soon to deem “Rated R” and “4” classics because they are too young but I have a feeling they will be classic albums.
@ Whut
B**** i am not a fake ass fan you are !
You up in this bish AGREEING with every shady ass Bey fan’s sideways ass backhanded ass comments and you call yourself a fan? LMFAO GURL BYE!!! WE KNOW THE DEAL!!!!

PD TTT>>>>>>>>>>>>>LOUD 😛
Rihanna’s album sales have never been front-loaded. And they’ve never been focuses on just the US. As well, Rihanna has never released a week she could shine like OTHERS have. While others make sure that there’s no competition the week of release to GUARANTEE a #1 album with huge first week sales, Rihanna’s team is focused on how much they can sell WW in a year. They know Rihanna can’t sell huge opening week, why bother? Rihanna proved with Good Girl Gone Bad that she’s going to get her sales even if it takes a year and she’s going to outsell your fav WW
first WW sales over US only. so rihanna isn’t going to be #1 i already said that. but i can guarantee that this album outsell most of your favs and be #1 on the world wide charts. rihanna is not a big seller in the US she is an international act. loud debuted at #3 in the US but it was #1 for six weeks on the world wide charts. and loud has sold 6 million. and it is the only album released last year that has even sold over 1 million in the UK. and currently loud is outselling most of the top sellers of this year, not to throw shade but loud has been selling more than born this way and 4 for a couple of weeks now.
i think that this should of been just a loud rerelease to push her album into the 8 or 9 million mark. but TTT will still sell and it will be #1 world wide.
oh and WFL still #1 while take care feat. rihanna is #4 and you da one debuts at #9 tying the record for most songs in the top 10.
Rihanna is in need of a break.com
i agree jamir21, and not because i dont like her. she really needs one for her sake.
Jamir21, idk if you have gone to beyonceworld.net but is it not working for you either?
just wondering.. thanks!
@JAMIR21,
i think rihanna should of just made this a rerelease of loud and then take at least a 6-12 month break after her tour ends.
@ Josh
Its not working for me either !
Rihanna is the first female in history to dominate the billboard charts with three songs in the top ten position. We found love is #1 for four weeks. You day one is #9 and take care with Drake is # 4. You Guys keep talking about trivial things while RI RI keeps making history. Rihanna is the tether. Top 5 albums. Top 5 hits. She stay winning.
@ Commander of the Dancefloor
Agree w/ you
Damn phone. Should say that Rihanna is the truth. With her top ten albums and hits. She stays winning.
@KARLA,
thank you i believe sam forgot to make a post about that!
why is rihannna expected to have a #1 album in the USA. Isn’t a top 5 good enough< since all of her US albums always debut within the top 5 except for music of the sun which was a top 10. Isn't the #1 album in the world (loud ) for four weeks enough? It seems that no matter how much rihanna has achieved you act like its not enough. How many of the artist who have a #1 album are dominating the billboard charts and making history like Rihanna?? So if those other artists aren't getting a #1 album on the world charts, or having a record amount of #1 hits and making history on the charts, and no one expects them to do it. Why the hell are you guys riding rihanna to get a #1 album. She'll get one when she's damn good and ready and when all the other artists are able to do what she's doing on the charts. They can't have 10 #1 hits on the billboard charts, or a #1 album in the world, so why the hell should she be expected to have a #1 album in the USA? Its like people are always putting pressure on Rihanna to do what half the people in the biz over 20 plus years ain't even doing or has done. Little ms. sunshine in 6 years have done alot .
This is what I have been saying the navy needs to start writing to def jam cause they are working baby girl to death and thats no shade, instead they want to be on blogs going back and forth with other artist stans grow up kids and look out for the well being of rihanna since yall go so hard for her. PEOPLE DON’T HATE HER SOME JUST FELL SHE DOES’T LIVE UP TO HER NAME AND HYPE.
RIHANNA TELL THEM YOU NEED A DAMN BREAK
@ jamir21
Thank you for letting me know.
Hope it starts working again soon (:

^^ Interesting
Some Rihanna’s stans can’t see the bigger picture. I wonder if they’re really fans of hers, or they’re just jumping on what’s currently hot. Please! This s*** is the kinda record no one gives a f***. Ashanti is the only singer to have a #1 and a #2 hit simultaneously on Hot 100. I bet you didn’t know this and I bet 99,99% of population don’t know this either. It’s irrelevant. Seriously.
Like I said before, what’s really matter is iconic and memorable stuff. I don’t spend my time looking charts as I used to be, they’re pretty irrelevant. People don’t know and don’t care about who’s #1 this week, they don’t know what’s Billboard, RIAA, Soundscan, etc. A #1 song just represents a single week. An iconic song represents a generation and it’ll be remembered for years to come.
Rihanna lacks on what’s really important to be a legend: iconic singles, memorable performances, classic music videos, praised by critics. And I ain’t even a huge fan of hers, but I want to see her doing bigger things. But her fans are just obsessed to numbers. Actually, they’re just obsessed to Hot 100 numbers. Everything is irrelevant but Hot 100. Please! IMO another #1 is just another one in a box. 10 #1 hits didn’t make people respect and recognize her as an artist and icon, 11, 12, 15, 20 won’t change this fact.
No matter what we say, Navy is always bringing this #1 hits. If we say that she sounded pretty bad on X-Factor, they only thing they’ll say is “Rihanna has got 10 #1 hits. U MAD?”. Please! They’re acting like Britney Spears’ fans.
P.S. And her album sales looks worser when you see that she’s so successful on Hot 100. Baby, that’s pathetic. And you know it. You’d better not post it.
So Erm Sam, When Will You Stop This Silly Hating?
Rihanna Slays.
Debut #1’s Arent Everytthing.
Wheres Beyonce … ?
I don’t know why everyone is even wasting their time on the haters. We already dragged them on the last post
Their calling Talk That Talk a Flop the sales are not even IN. The album has been out for 2 day’s
Talk That Talk has sold over 80k in the uk in two day’s meaning it’s going to be PLATINUM first week!!!!
while everyone is here calling rihanna a flop she is is making history
The navy don’t respond to the hate,,,,,They do this EVERY Era. They Forget they said the SAME thing with LOUD now when we even say the name their blood boils. Leave them this is the ONLY think they can use against rihanna (No #1 Album in the usa) when the number’s start coming in THAT is when we will TALK OUR TALK
I love how Rihanna named this album Talk That Talk because she let’s the haters talk there talk while her and the navy WALK that WALK.
I will leave this topic because to be honest it Dry and we all know the TRUTH!
Navy Remember this week remember all the things they are saying because we will LAUGH in their faces at the end (Like We Always do)
Rihanna can sell 20k in American and will still be able to outsell their fav from the sales that come from the rest of the world
I also find it funny how people think America is bigger then the WORLD
Good Day!
TALK THAT TALK OUT NOW B******
THEY MAD THAT RIHANNA REIGN WON’T LET UP
Haters and SAM call her the queen of singles but when you make a GREATEST HITS album or NUMBER ONES compilation what do you put on it, of course your Number Ones singles not a whole album, people are so ignorant these days, what do you think Beyonce would put on a compilation album the whole 4 album, NO!, Rihanna is not even AMERICAN i am and i don’t care so what are you so mad. keep talking baby TALK THAT TALK!.
YAWN, so sick of these topis really.
I like cockiness on ttt, had to listen to it a few times to like it, but its okay.
id say all my negativity towards rihanna i have, is because her fans.
same with all of you and Beyonce.
we seriously get eachother all worked up and say s*** that means nothing,
-_-
Done.
Cake Cake Cake Cake Cake Cake Cake.
Please! They’re acting like Britney Spears’ fans.
P.S. And her album sales looks worser when you see that she’s so successful on Hot 100. Baby, that’s pathetic. And you know it. You’d better not post it.
^^
How is selling 6 million albums world wide bad album sales? How you figure that?
How is debuting in the top 5 of every release bad album sales? how you figure that?
HOw is having a #1 album in the World, bad album sales? how you figure that?
So if kathy perry with 90,000 sales first week got a #1 album, and Chris brown with 200,000 Sales first week got a #1 album, then Rihanna could have gotten a #1 album as well too. If only she had released the very same day they did. #1 albums only come from your release date. Nothing more nothing less, because as voinko pointed out in his tumbler, rihanna starts low but ends up outselling all in the long run. So wth else you expect us to say gilberto. We’ve bragged about her #1 hits, we’ve bragged about her #1 album in the world, we’ve bragged about her making history on the world charts. We’ve bragged about her perfume selling well. And we’ve bragged about all of her accomplishments, but it never seems to be enough for you guys. You always come up with something else to say about her. But there are many who are selling less than rihanna, have never had a number one album in the us or the world, have never had a hit anywhere, isn’t even making rihanna money, and you all don’t jump all over them like you do Rihanna. Its like this girl trying to make a living is killing you all or something.
The reason why she does not have a #1 album is because her MAIN audience is 12-13 year old girls. The last time I checked, they do not hold jobs nor do they generate the income to buy Ms. Rhianna’s X-rated lyrical albums in stores. These are the same immature audiences running around saying it, tweeting it, or putting her awful lyrics on facebook “I like it when you eat it, eat it, eat it.” These immature audiences are the ones that get excited when there is any kind of cursing or s** talk on albums. It’s like ooohhh…she said “suck my cockiness” how utterly STUPID! What GROWN-UP does this?
Rihanna is a used and abused mechanical puppet and will FOREVER be a victim not only to her music company, but also to her self-degrading persona.
@ ajanni
Very Very well said.
Thanks!
@COMMANDER CO SIGNS
@YELLOW GORILLAH CO SIGNS
@VOINKO,,,,,,,YOU SAID A MOUTH FULL BUT JUSSSSSSSSST
BECAUSE RIHANNA IS IN THE LEAD THE HATERS WILL PICK IT APART AND TRY AND MAKE RIHANNA SALES WAYYYYYYYYYYY LESS JUST TO MAKE OTHERS LOOK GKOOD, BUT THANKS BECAUSE MANY KNOW THE TRUTH THEY JUST FEELS SO MUCH BETTTER S*** TALKING THE NAVY ABOOUT RIHANNA.
B****, please. I am tired of this. It’s a fact that she doesn’t have a #1 album. Deal with it. I ain’t faking this. It’s a F-A-C-T. And stop with these excuses. All these “could’ve” and “should’ve” don’t change the fact it isn’t #1. TTT is her 6th album. 6th attempt to have a #1 album. There are no excuses for it not hit #1 and knowing it is going to sell less than Loud, 4, Femme Fatale or Born This Way’s first week sales, it makes even worser. You know it, everybody knows it. Deal with it.
Beyoncé released I Am… Sasha Smash in the same week as Nickelback’s album, and it was released after their most successful album, Beyoncé topped the charts. “4” would’ve topped the chart as well if it was released this week.
TTT is just another flop for Rihanna. She has got two flop albums, which no one even knows their names, and Rated Flop. Deal with it.
The problem is Rihanna’s stans are so obsessed to numbers, but when it comes to Hot 200 you don’t care. BIASED. B******. You’re all biased.
RIHANNA’S ALBUMS ARE ALLERGIC TO HIT #1. LMAO.
P.S. Don’t worry about Beyoncé. You should spend your time supporting your fave, ’cause she’s flopping with this album.
P.S.2. Beyoncé never sold her tour tickets for $10 like Rihanna did. LOL.
P.S.3. Stop bringing this World Wide Charts s***. It isn’t official. I’M HERE FOR OFFICIAL THINGS. You can bring Billboard, Uk’s charts, etc, but there isn’t no official world charts.
I slayed Navy so much today that I feel bad for ya.
NAVY IS SINKING LIKE A S*** ON TOILET.
we or on to TTT But i can’t wait to see what “LOUD”
do this week.
Gilberto..face the facts. Rihanna must be doing something righ. Cause why are you so presses and heated. How is Rihanna not having a no.1 album affecting your life? And did she tell you she was attempting to get a no.1 with her tries. She could have released on a less competitive week and gotten one if she thought it was that important. You said Asanti’s stats are irrelevant but you seemed to have remembered it. Yeah so what if Bey released with Nickleback and went to one. First of all Bey is homegrown and an American favorite with 15 years in the game of course she would have a strong US fanbase. Tell Bey to release with Susan Boyle,Taylor Swift and Adele and lets see where she stand.
wow did I hear someone say there is no world charts? wow how narrow minded Americans can be. Thinking they are the most important in the world and there are no other charts that matter but the USA charts. SMH. even Sam recognized the world charts when he posted that Adele was sitting on top of it a few weeks ago. I guess its only irrelevant and unimportant when rihanna is on it.
RihannaNavy buying CD’s and downloading her singlers they must have alot of money to spend like that around Christmas time.
Let me say one thing, the same way Rihanna got her fame/mega star is the same way it’s going to be taken away from her. Meaning using the situation & CB each and every time a new CD or song was to come out. The table will be turning very soon. The US they say is not like other countires. When you get a #1 single or CD in the other counties by selling much less then in the US.
The funny thing is on the US itunes Beyonce is higher then Rihanna. That is the saddest thing ever.
Thats cause we dont believe her as an artist and she never made an album where all the songs were good from start to finish!!!!
all rihanna’s albums are good from start to finish. IF you’re not a fan I don’t expect you to be listening to her albums let alone knowing if it was good from start to finish.
Not ONLY young girls like Rihanna. I’m a grown woman and I enjoy her music immensely! LOVES IT!
As for the lyrical content, anyone ACTUALLY LISTEN to most of the artists out now? Even old-school artists? Their lyrics aren’t peachy clean either. I don’t hear anyone complaining here about Prince (“We can f* until the dawn, make it like your cherry’s gone. Erotic City can’t you see. F* so pretty you and me.”). No one is bringing up any of HIS lyrics about ejaculating “all over the floor” and such.
As for Rihanna’s sales, I tried to look for her Talk That Talk and couldn’t find it in several stores. Best Buy not only DID NOT have it on sale, they DID NOT showcase it on the New Release rack either! It was damn near hidden. I had to ask an associate to find it. By comparison, Drake’s new album was prominently displayed all over Best Buy and his deluxe version was discounted to $9.99. And one entire side of the New Release rack was devoted to Drake’s CD! I couldn’t find it in Walmart, and when I did, it was not discounted or displayed. In Target, it was displayed, but only discounted $2-$3. Searching for it online is rough too. It’s buried on Best Buy’s and Walmart’s websites and not advertised on Target’s site. So for her to face so much opposition in terms of propmotion (she’s STILL on tour – overseas!) via appearances and retailers, I THINK SHE’S DOING GREAT!!!
Last I read moments ago from Billboard was that she’s projected to sell 200K-210K. Sounds good to me!
Well we haven’t gotten the finally numbers in yet…..
But what really gets me is how can anyone think that Rihanna is more talented than Beyonce…Im just in owe.
Im not here to talk sells because Beyonce has sold more than Rihanna… Im not here to talk tours because Beyonce tours have grossed more than Rihanna’s…Im not here to talk money because ….well you know.
But just talent wise. How can anyone think she has more talent.
Im one of the few ppl who actually thinks rihanna will sell a lot more than 300K…but we will see.
I like rihanna….listened to Cockiness all night
F*** ALL YLL B****** TALKIN S***
KEEP TALKIN THAT TALK……THAT’S WHAT WE WANT….IF NOBODYS TALKIN BOUT U THEN ARE IRRELEVANT!
ALL THESE COMMENTS…? I KNOW Y…CUZ…
#TheyMadAtRihannaGame
I like rihanna. She can sing in my opinion. I wish this album woulda been bigger and number 1. Esp all hype surrounding it but I guess it was released too soon. People didn’t get a chance to absorb it all. Her team rushing too many things at once. Maybe that’s y. If nicki can get a number 1 with amount of haters rihanna def can too.
i never comment on here but all this hate towards rihanna, is uncall for. all the haters are so pressed that she’s going to snatch ur favs wigs off. I want rihanna to be 1#,but i’m happy for her whatever number she comes in. I’m a fan , and when u truly are a fan u stay when its going good or bad. she will always stay winning ,b/c all of the haters..if she wasn’t a threat then u wouldn’t care to sabotage her by leaking her album ,or dare mention her in the same sentence with ur favs. who u claim ri is not on icon status with bey ,or whoever but rihanna name is typed on every post.bad publicity is good publicity all the hate shows she’s winning.if the bee-hive or anybody else is after rihanna, she’s doing something right no matter what u say. u can bring up the stats, talk about the talent, or whatever broken record points u keep saying over and over again.rihanna ain’t going nowhere no matter if she gets a #1 album or not,so u and ur favs will have to deal… now to address @kimberly with ur filp flop a** talking about rhi fans are not educated. i have a bachleor degree i’m highly educated.. if i’m not mistaken u said u was a fan at one point ,so u are throwing a stone at ur own glasshouse .i guess ur contradicting a** is uneducated huh, don’t go saying u didn’t say it. i read ur essay u wrote all about why u are know not a fan anymore.wait the navy and rihanna are flipping the pages in a book … hold on we are searching for a f**k to give!!flips hair as u type ur tired replay…
TALK THAT TALK is #1 in over 20 countries right now btw . And has already sold over 300,000 in less than 3 days in the UK . #BOOM
Dosen’t sell out concerts ? Maybe ya’ll should go on YOUTUBE , type in Rihanna’s concerts and see for yourself the number of crowds she performs in front of . The proof is there . She has sold over 120 million worldwide , 4 grammys , 11 #1s and is only 23 years old . Give her credit haterssss . She will only continue to rise .
I have to say.. that i agree with alot of pple on here in regards to rihanna.. I think shes amazing to look at, and has a great voice, and she puts out good music.. with that being said..She doesnt leave us with time to miss her and her music.. I feel like when it comes to having an album, its a project, and a era that the artist should be owing.. Rihanna should still be promoting Loud instead of this new album.. I dnt think shes needs to slow down.. and give people time to get excited for new music from Rihanna!! I love BTW girl!!!! lol TEAMRIHRIH
Flopped w****.
Aside from the fact that the album sales have NOT been released yet, why does this “site” have so many Rihanna posts? And why is a #1 album so important anyways? What does it prove, besides the fact that most people (who buy albums) bought yours that week? Didn’t Nicki Minaj’s album go to #1 with like less than 70k a few months ago? And The Game. Didn’t his album debut at #1 with about 90k? Katy Perry’s new album debuted with less than 200k, yet Rihanna is to debut with more than that (and i’m sure she’ll do more) yet all of this is being said. I thought Loud taught us a lesson…
And STOP using Adele as an example. She’s an exception to the rule, and she doesn’t sell no damn 200k a week- she does an average of 140k.
Stop making things out to be what they aren’t. Report on some REAL news for a change.
Rihanna is the goddess of music
I WISHED I KNEW WHY RIH CAN’T GET A #1 IN THE US
BUT ITS VERY CLEAR THAT “GGGB” & “LOUD” OR JUST
CHARTINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
GLOBAL CHARTS & ITUNES CAN-WILL BE YOUR BEST
FRIEND IF YOU LET THEM!!!!!!!!!!
FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @HONEY_DIP11 I FOLLOW BACK!
Whick black artist have beat rih’s sales this year, name
them? who or the ones thats black who have out done
rihanna’s sales the year of 2010 and 2011, name them
and we will claim them, who or they?????????????????
Kiss me
Lool, poor Rihanna stans making up excuses for why their fave is an albums flop.
There is a reason every single Beyonce album has gone straight to #1, people believe in the quality of her material.
Rishitshit is a singles artist and thats the way it will ALWAYS be, her navy should stop acting brand new because even they know the deal.
Talk That Talk is going to flop harder than California KING bED DID LMAO
@Lax I’m waiting to hear some names also.Ok?
Many artists come and they go
after a while its kind of like
watching the Tides, and then
theres the rihann’s of the world.
Every once and a while a great
r&b artist of rihannas qualities
comes along and shake the music world to its core. She stepped out on faith and as you can see the rest in histo-rih. It doesn’t matter what people say about you because the man with the master plan has a great way of shuting those who hates on you all the way down. Rihanna knows about that man with the master plans, who owns the cattles on a thousand hills. So many or stubbling around in the dark with hate, envy and don’t want to forgive another person and as long as they walks around with that degree of hate they will never amount to a heel of beans.
As long as you look to the almighty then you can always know that you could get blessed beyond all measures because he’s in the blessing business. And he says in his word that no weapon formed aganist us any of us will posper. Unforgiveness harms your whold body it ests you deep down inside and it will keep eating and eating you and can give you all kinds of medial problems and that goes for me right along with all of the people that is of flesh and blood. Rihanna has freed herself of things that she used to be bitter about, she have blown a kiss to yesterday and welcome a ner era and time into her life and its full steam straight ahead for rihanna and her career. And her getting a #1 Album will happen when its time to happen and not any time sooner. If the good lord wants her to get a #1 album in the us it will happen and if thats not in the cards well less just hope that her world wide appeal kicks in and show all what time it is. And as we debate her getting a #1 and all of the slanderous hate and gloom and doom that many tries to soak in it will not last because rihanna is aliling herself and getting preeped and groomed for the long haul and people or going to be shocked. Many keeps talking about her looks, her no talented ass and just all sorts of negative b/s all of the time. And with all of the negative b/s comes a new found joy and admiration for rihanna and theres many new fans who or getting on her cruiseliner thats barrling down the waters like a run away
roller coaster. When others do her wrong one of the best thing going is to forgive that person with all of your heart and turn the cards around so that it will reflect the hate they habors inside for you. And if she don’t get a number 1 album less see how she will be doing next year this time as compared to her many counter parts. This is only the beginning for her and shes just getting warmed up really good. She have gotten the taste of winning and defeats in her and now its on, and in a big way. As long as she keeps getting rid of added burden that can make you sick deep down inside of your soul than she will be just wonderful, with or without a #1 album this time around.
Haters,,,,,,,,If you or going to keep saying that shes a singles artist
while that fine and good shows that your brains or s*** and you know very
well that rihanna can sale albums and you also know that rihanna have two albums charting very well and you can keep your heads in that toliet stoll with s*** because your head is just like your mouths are talking and thats shittttttttttttt.
the answer to the main question is really simple:
because she doesnt have a strong fanbase at all to buy her album on first week.
Keep your heads in that toliet stool, because your brains or s*** and thats all you will ever be and know.
Just because an album doesnt hit #1 on the bb chart 200
Doesnt means its a FLOP
Both Ciara and ashanti had their share and look at them now LOL!!!!!!
Chris brown(no shade) has his comaback share but cant even sell 2mill ww
At least Rihanna sell ww 7 to 8 mil (GODDESS)
Beyonce 4 might of hit #1 but its a FLOP still with ZERO hits 🙂
hell its out of the charts LOL!!!!
Rihanna ‘s music is like having s** with someone you don’t love, you enjoy it in the moment, you get off but after a while you move on. I’ll listen to the songs but I ain’t buying the album. No shade rhi rhi.
I do not understand it either, I mean i have bought all of her albums, they have all been really good–its weird! IDK, who cares tho, she still hott–her concert was on fire & she is banging, i will support her no matter what, it happens when it happens-no shade no hate, they all doing they thang-
Imagine if she does.Early celebrations are never a good thing.
http://youtu.be/TlIu9ef3oDI keri hilson is the female mj watch this s***!
Drake sold more than Rihanna’s loud did but who sold more in the end??? Bey hasn’t scanned a mill yet. Loud has sold more than Femme fatale. Point is longevity >>>> first week sales
IM ONLY HERE FOR BEY! ppl are bringing beyonces multi platinum selling album 4 into this!!! 4 isn’t about the charts, never has been, bey wanted to do what she wanted to do rather than going with this gay club music (#oops, generic music) she went with soul and 90’s throwback music, everyone’s talking about party, everybody’s waiting for end of time, everybody who knows music likes dance for you. ADULTS like 1+1. rihanna is a childs artist. talk that talk (eat my p**** music) is a flop. i dont even see ANY track being a potential single.
I coulda swore LOUD was #1 on the WW Albums Charts for a few weeks … seems like youre just concerned about the US cuz it appeals to your senless argument. Pathetic
TTT certified PLATINUM in less than a week in the UK
This post would be even the slightest bit relevant if it weren’t for the fact that he forgot to mention her most recent album’s total WW sales…which I’m pretty sure is around 6-7 million.
You can have a #1 album and only sell 150K in the US. It’s so irrelevant anymore. She’s doing just find and actually better than all the girls you mentioned (I presume other than Gaga of course, whose heels she is closely riding on anyway).
Next.
America is not rihanna’s domestic market, she grew up in barbados and if news is correct she is moving to my country UK soon. also unkown artist debuted at #1 and has yet to sell a million in the US and rihanna debuts at #3 and sold 1 million and 5 million world wide.
Rihanna does have 2 platinum albums, a platinum plus one and a multiplatinum album. She sells, just not as big as she should. Rihanna’s thing is that she caters to a certain audience. Her fanbase is that of a certain demographic. While she is in the industry she doesn’t really do anythig amazingly. She just does it.
lmaooo u can’t compare rihanna and beyonce.. beyonce is waaaaay successful than rihanna jeez
LOL AMEN !!
rihanna’s GGGB sold even less than this and went on to sell 9 million.
UK won’t save this c***’s career. Platinum?! UK is irrelevant! USA is way bigger and Talk That Flop won’t even get that gold certification there. LMAO.
F*** that was cold TGJ. A cheap forgettable hook up. Ouch! That was just mean. Haha. But it’s true. She’s not an artist.
This is getting ridiculous. I come to TGJ to catch up on the latest music news….Not see Rihanna being bashed in every other post. This weird infatuation with Rih is getting tired Sam. I know plenty of other topics you can consistently cover:
Ciara’s flop albums
JoJo’s misdirection for a sound
Kelly Rowland’s lackluster sales even after a megahit single
Try something else for a change…..
LOL@ all the people pretending that a #1 album doesn’t matter. To let the RIhanna stans tell it, Loud was the most successful album of the year; it scored a bunch of top 10s/#1 singles, had longevity and blah-blah-blah…well that shouldn’t THAT have proved to the music buying public that her followup album was worth the investment (especially since the first single is currently #1?) Usually when someone is coming off of a hot album, their followup to it is met with a mad rush of consumers who they won over last time.
Something is very off here.
A number one album and/or big first week sales signifies that the artist has a strong, diligent fanbase that not only believes their s*** will be good enough to scoop up sound unheard, but that they were actually ANTICIPATING buying it.
Even after all these years and all the hits, these numbers prove that no one anticipates Rihanna’s music. She isn’t building a strong and devoted fanbase. Her hardcore fans are a small few. At best what she has are nonchalant halfhearted fans who pick up her s*** when they remember to do it, but ain’t at all pressed for it. But more than that what she has are mostly casual fans who like her “enough” to buy her latest $1 single, but don’t trust her enough to believe that her whole album is worth $10.
Furthermore, the United States IS Rihanna’s domestic country. She may be a foreigner, but she’s signed to a US-based record label and mostly works with US-based writers and producers.
Furthermore, the US is the world’s largest and most significant music market. Just about every non US-based act who is successful all over the world, but hasn’t made it in America yet, is plotting to someday break the US market. The same isn’t said as much about US acts who are wildly successful in America, but aren’t that big overseas. Like it or not, USA is the mecca. Do you really think Drake’s camp is bothered that he may not be as popular in Europe or the UK as he is in America? Nope. Because the US is the most important; everywhere else is extra.
That being said, you’re all crazy if you think her US sales aren’t being examined with a closer eye than her worldwide tally.
This is f****** stupid……….. Beyonce and all these other females wait 4 years to put out an album after promoting the f*** out it, making it more about them than the album. If Rihanna wasnt so convincing um but all of her albums wouldnt have sold over 5-6 million copies EACH. She’s gone MULTI Platinum in over 20 countries. so Maybe she isnt convinving at first but COME ON, SHE’S THE S***……….. Beyonce had a #1 album but Rihanna has sold way more than she has so far. Beyonce’s last album to date hasnt sold good so far………….LOUD wasnt convincing? but she had 3 #1 albums off that ONE album……Why should Rihanna have to do sooooooo much to get people that dont even like her? If they’re going to buy it they’ll but it…. HAVING A #1 ALBUM DOESNT MEAN S*** IF IT DOESNT GO PLATINUM. Take chris brown for example. he had a #1 album and it didnt even go platinum yet.
Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce…you can’t have a post at TGJ that questions Rihanna’s fame, music, sales or talent without one of her defensive, insecure and intellectually inferior fans pulling Beyonce’s name out of thin air to make a haphazard point or to deflect the attention/criticism. The “Jan Brady” complex many of you have about Beyonce is hilarious. Stop trying to change the subject to avoid the heat. This has nothing to do with Beyonce or 4. This is about how Rihanna has a chronic inability to create big public anticipation for her next projects, despite how “big” the last one supposedly was.
If LOUD was the raving success Rihanna’s loony fans try to perpetrate it to be, then TTT would be enjoying the fruits of it and should have moved at least 2x what LOUD did in its first week (which wasn’t a lot). But the predictions basically imply that the best she’ll do is match it, or perhaps do less. Do you not SEE how suspect it is for her new album to not be getting any kind of a push from the last one that you all like to claim sold a zillion copies?
If Adele were to release a new album next month, on the heals of all this 21 success, do think that it WOULDN’T send people flocking to the record stores and sell through the roof immediately?
That “longevity” crap you spew is just a rationalization. Yes all albums need longevity, but you’re only GUESSING that TTT will have it based on PAST examples. You don’t know this will happen again. You have no idea that if in 6 months TTT will be where LOUD was at the same stage. You’re playing a guessing game to make yourself feel better because you know FOR SURE that her opening #’s will be lackluster and that at least three other albums were more sought after during this black friday shopping week than hers. The artist with the #1 song in the country (whose last album was a supposed success) couldn’t convince the majority of the music buying public to pick up the ALBUM it’s on????
Rihanna (or better yet, Rihanna’s team) has been good at catering to trends of the moment and skating on by because of it, but she hasn’t built up much star power or good faith. Her name doesn’t seem to cause an avalanche of hysteria and because of that, I think she’s on borrowed time.
The very fact that over 300 people are arguing in a blog post about the relevancy of an artist first week album sales should let you know something. Rihanna’s true fan base goes hard and are ever growing, and the haterz are just helping to generate buzz. The one thing that leaves me clueless about the haterz is, if they despise Rihanna as much as they say why even read a post about her. I know If I didn’t care for an artist I sure as hell wouldn’t be checking for them. That’s when you know your a hater therefore nothing you say is relevant. Got my copy =) just need to get the Deluxe now =D
She could score one if she wanted to. Come on now. She releases albums when she thinks they will sell the most copies–which is what other people do, so she doesn’t go #1. But if she wanted to, she’d release it when there was no competition, and sell less.
That’s STUPID. Dumb post sam–reaching for hits once again.
Excuse me, Theman or whatever your name is. Rihanna has 4 platinum albums in the US- A Girl Like Me, GGGB (certified double platinum), Rated R and Loud. try again.
you know its pretty sad that the music industry has turned into this kinda competition and turn into this level of hatred towards an artist who is simply enjoying what she loves. ok she may not be talented as beyonce but they both came from two completely different backgrounds. beyonce was brought up with a professional record producer her family paid for her to go to all these fancy schools and get all these singing and dance lessons while her father helped create her career.if it wasnt for beyonces father, she would not be where she is today, she would not have been in destiny’s child which ultimately paved the way for her success as a solo artist while rihanna simply lived in a small house in barbados, with a troubled childhood as her father use to domestically abuse her mother. Rihanna has came from NOTHING and has achieved so much in 6 years, and to think that people are calling her a talentless stripper just because she cant get a number 1 album is appauling.
does it really matter about a number 1 album when your albums prove they can have longevity and sell millions worldwide? both these woman are talented, and yes beyonce may be better overall but they are two completely different women and we should be applauding both for their success instead of draggin them down and comparing them according to album sales and figures.
Yall ppl pathetic i live in south carolina i been to stores walmart target etc i did a study now talk that talk is already sold out off the shelves me i ask how many albums they put out on shelves for each artist its about 1000 total i see rihanna albus has sold alot in one day at best buy target including fye music store bey been here b for riri so of course shes big but shes has nothin on janet jackson if any of yall ass wunt to go there bey wuldnt b big if jj or mj so hate on dat n if aaliyah wuz still here bey wuldnt stand a chance riri album is selling fast so as it says b****** talk that talk now n last thing i brought six of riris album fir me my mom auntie myself n friends so yes she will make no.1 im done
She may not be able to sell that well for the first week. She’s still popping out 2 albums selling over 7 million and others 3 million. Which is very seldomly seen now.
Why are we so interested if Rihanna goes #1 or not…after all having a #1 album does not equal commercial success in the long run….look at Trey Songz …had a #1 album …and has he physically sold 1million copies yet? no i don’t think so. Yet Rihanna who has never had a #1 …..5 of her 6 studio albums has sold over 1 million copies in the states. The point i am trying to bring across is that debut sales sometimes doesn’t speak for the overall performance of an album . I am not a huge fan of Rihanna but it seems like she does well outside of the U.S. at the end of the day we all know she’s gonna sell over a mill.
I like rihannas songs and she’s pretty cool so stand dont attack me. My only problem is that the way stans talk about her make it seem like she’s like Mariah Carey in the 90s or Madonna in the 80/90s. She’s not there yet at all. Yes she’s big and successful but just a few levels above Katy Perry. I know she sold a bunch o singles but so did Katy Perry (record for most number one singles off one album). Yes her albums sale good worldwide but not enough to make her the royal entity stans make her out to be. Like many people have said before me to reach that status she should focus on critical acclaim, grammies (she doesn’t even have one after 6 album), memorable performances, better stage presence, and command respect instead of tweens’s parrents’ money
BRITNEY MUST BE LAUGHING AT ALL THESE TRYING HARD B******. they do promotion like crazy and britney just gets all the #1s with so minimal promotion. thats the power of Britney. keep hating haters. let me know when your gir’l’s still around in 10 years LOL
