US Charts: Rihanna’s ‘Unapologetic’ Awarded Gold Certification

Published: Wednesday 9th Jan 2013 by David

 

500,000.

While the likes of Drake, Beyonce & Lady GaGa find shifting the above number in units all too easy, their ‘less gifted’ competitor Rihanna continues to struggle to do the same. Well, at least in the same amount of time.

Sure, though global sales of her new LP ‘Unapologetic’ have been sweet to say the least, its US run has been a little ‘so so’ to say the least. So unimpressive, it has only just been certified Gold for sales of over 500k…two months after release.

Details below…

Selling less copies in 7 weeks than Beyonce‘s 2006 ‘B’Day‘ moved in a week and Drake‘s ‘Take Care’ moved in four days, ‘Unapologetic‘ now enjoys Gold status, giving fans no choice but to expect it to enjoy a similar chart run to 2010’s ‘Loud’, which soared internationally but failed to ‘dominate’ in her domestic market.

Indeed, despite serving a number of stellar jams- Elijah Blake‘s ‘No Love Allowed‘ and the mind blowing ‘Love Without Tragedy‘- the Def Jam backed release is yet to live up the hype generated by its lead single ‘Diamonds‘- which has now surpassed sales of 2 million units in the US alone.

 The album’s US Gold status marks the latest piece of good news to storm Roc Nation in the last week.

For, less than six months after release Rita Ora’s debut album ‘ORA’ was certified Platinum in the UK, weeks before she readies her US launch which will come hand in hand with a brand new LP, designed to introduce her to the competitive market.

    • F****** Hairy (Lana & Gaga schoolin’ you) January 9, 2013

      Why are you comparing Drake to Rihanna? One makes corny pop music, a genre that happens to be the most popular in the world. The other does hip hop, a genre that is almost exclusively only successful in countries like America, Canada, UK, and very few other territories.
      This is dumbest comparison I’ve seen.

Rihanna sold 500,000 in almost two months, at the peak os her career and in a country with 4 or 5 times the number of potential buyers France has.

      I Shall never forget what Grams told us kids years ago, She said be careful of what you wish for because it could come true some day. And be careful of hating so hard and wishing bad on others, and be careful of digging holes for others because what you are wishing on others could come back around and bite you in Yo Ass and that hole you are sweating and carefully digging for some one else to fall inoto could be the hole that you can trip off into.

      • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys January 9, 2013

        4 only sold 2 mil or there about. Not even selling anymore. all rih needs is 700k – which she can easily do this year and TTT will be at 4. As she is going on stadium tour, I think TTT can do 1 mill this year and push 5 mill.

        LOL LOL BEYONCE IS FAT AND HIDING. Her GQ cover was meant to be her s*** comeback, but it has become a global laughing stock and piller to abuse her. Now whites have gone from saying she is trying to be like Rihanna to now Kim K. Poor dat, Bey getting dissed for Kim K.

    Wait so she now has two gold albums and u all call her a consistent seller? Maybe her WW sales r nothing to f*** wit but her US sales are average. MJ could sale WW and the US and number 1 everytime. Now that’s a consistent seller! F*** outta here.

  36. reality January 9, 2013

    That means barely 500k people in the US are checking for her. Rihannas music career in the US is equivalent to that of her pathetic love for Chris Brown.

  37. Fresh Navi January 9, 2013

    BTW according the ever reliable Chart News:

    US album sales: #19 @Rihanna, Unapologetic 27,100 (580,500 total).

    Unapologetic was #7 on BBHot200 selling 60 k copies…. sam was tew pressed to post

    This week Unapologetic has sold 2.2 Million WW double what Nicki Minaj album
    PF RR in less the time with one single vs 9 singles ….. & even though it got revamped,….

    &if we are gonna compare lets compare it to beyonce 4 not bey day which came out when music was selling ehh sammy boy…

    Unapologetic has sold the same as Beyonce’ 4 WW 2.2!!!!
    with one single in two months

    that’s not me throwing shade thetas me showing how bias Sam is even though Rihanna is his Favorited artist as he goes leaps and bounds to post constantly on her to do his research risk his sights credibility to post fraudulently low numbers

  39. RICHANDBLACK11 January 9, 2013

    At CBS’ Super Bowl media day, when it came to a question about picking this year’s halftime talent, CBS Corp. president and CEO Leslie Moonves couldn’t help but joke about years past.

    “I actually wanted Janet Jackson,” Moonves jested, to an audience of chuckling media members. He was referring to 2004 performance when Jackson and Justin Timberlake played a dangerous game of peek-a-boo on national television.

    The joke went over well with the audience and it seems everyone is walking with a little more pep in their step nine years removed from the incident (a $550,000 fine by the FCC was later overturned and an FCC appeal rejected).

    “The NFL actually procures the talent for the halftime broadcast with our input,” CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus said, “and I think when Beyoncé was mentioned, all of us on the call including Les … when we got the call about Beyoncé all enthusiastically said, ‘Yes, it would be great if you could get her.'”

    Great is an understatement. How about freaking awesome. Previous halftime artists like The Who, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty were obviously safe choices that my parents loved but they didn’t get the party started like B will. Recent artists like Usher and the Black Eye Peas were a step in the right direction but they ain’t Beyoncé.

    If the stars are aligned and her hubby Jay-Z makes a guest appearance this could be the greatest halftime show ever, making viewers say, “Janet and Justin, who?”

    Why are some of yall coming for Celine Dion? She may not have a string of #1 songs like Rihanna but she has sold over 200 millions albums ww over a career spanning 32 years and that includes all her french albums released starting in 1981. Her success in recent years may not be like it was during the 90’s but she still has people checking for her and her voice is still the same as if she were 20 years old all over again, shes been married to the same man her entire life and career and has 3 children by him. Until Rihanna is her 32nd year of music still pushing her string of #1 songs and popularity overseas, leavr Celine out of this.

  52. perhaps January 9, 2013

    Who gives a f***. Unapologetic is a solid album, I consider her going gold at this point a good thing . She’s on her way. And isn’t it about the music not about how many albums sold. The reality is we live in a downloading culture, everybody is not always going to sell. Plus when you put out an album every year people are less inclined to be interested. It takes the away the excitement of new music from an artist because how different could it be from past outings. I stopped buying Rihanna’s albums after good girl gone bad I saw no reason to, but this album goes hard I had to get it.

Have a seat Rihanna could quit music for 3 years and that b**** would still be irrelevant atleast Beyonce is about to come out and help pay for her bills

  62. 2013 is the year Beyonce’s career officially ends(yours truly zzzzb) January 9, 2013

    I am freakin happy. She is selling thousands every week in the US with one single, not bad at all. But all I care about is those WW sales. 2 million in 6 weeks with 1 single?? Didn’t it take 4lop a year and some months to reach 2 million?

  63. Gezzy January 10, 2013

    I think Rihanna album is pretty good even tho i stan for beyonce . I believe when you put 7 albums plus the releases in 7 years. People are not excited to go buy an album. You have to get the people besides your fans to buy your album. The thing bout beyonce, she has a huge fan base who is going to support her no matter what but every album has last for almost TWO YEARS. but she also has the Older fan base from Destiny CHILD!!!

  64. commanderofthedancefloor January 10, 2013

    I like how same tried to compare the album to something that sold what 6 years ago. Look at the album sells of this year and compare.

    This is peoples problem they are comparing what has come out years ago or even last year, look at the sales they are not even close to what they use to be. Rihanna selling 500k is actually normal and she did it in less time than with ttt so this is good for her because it means the album will of course sell more than ttt.

    now look at releases such as usher chris brown justin bieber christina aguilera alicia keys and the list goes on, if any of them scored this feat people would be rejoicing you know why? because in this day and age this is a big accomplishment, only a few artist have even sold 500k in the US this year and only about what 2 or 3 artist this year has sold over 1 million in the US.

    Also the album has in its 7 weeks sold 2 million, it is doing pretty good.
