    Will she purchase it in bulk and then give it away for free and then say she sold another 1 million?

    • blue February 1, 2016

      try again, samsung purched it in bulk

      • Barb B**** February 1, 2016

        Samsung gave her the money to purchase it.

      • blue February 1, 2016

        thats how sales work money exchange hands. Samsung gave rihanna money for 1million copies and they gave them away.

      • Barb B**** February 1, 2016

        She could’ve used that money for anything towards her era they were ere just sponsoring her. She chose to purchase a bulk of her own music.

      • Gaga’s Monster February 1, 2016

        Queen of cheating system… 🙁

    • Rory February 1, 2016

      If she does, it’s STILL a million sold lol. (That was funny though) lol

      • Barb B**** February 1, 2016

        Not through true public investment

      • bonBon489 February 1, 2016

        THIS WHOLE ERA IS MESSY. MAYBE HER DRUG USAGE AND HER PERSONAL DRUG DEALER MELISSA HAVE DESTROYED HER EDGE. HOW DO YOU GO FROM BEING THE QUEEN OF ITUNES TO A RUN-DOWN TATTOO HAND FLOP.

        THE CD IS HORRIBLE, SHE IS SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HER LIMITED RANGE AND SOUNDS HORSE. A TOTAL MESS.

        THE NAVY KNOW THEY ARE SECRETLY DISAPPOINTED.

      • bonBon489 February 1, 2016

        SHE AND SAMSUNG ARE A FRAUD. TOTAL FRAUD

      • blue February 1, 2016

        and somehow the album is being praised for being brave, different and bold. 900 user reviews >>>>>>>>>>your opinion

      • Taylor February 1, 2016

        Anti is the new ARTPop! ?

    • Queendonna February 1, 2016

      So many pressed lost souls here. Congrats Rihanna. 😀

    • Shaora February 1, 2016

      Adele is doing awesome without Tidal and Samsung. I guess less talented artists like Rihanna have to rely on marketing to push the album. What a tragedy…

      • bonBon489 February 1, 2016

        NO HONEY, A PRESSED RIHANNA HAS TO “SCAM” HER WAY FOR RECORD SALES. SMOKE N MIRRORS AT ITS BEST.

    • Ricky February 1, 2016

      Yeah, maybe she will. It’s called smart business tactics. You should learn a few things. I applaud her “Anti” normal tactics, and if she’s lucky enough to get a major company like Samsung under her belt, more power to her!

    • Arfa February 1, 2016

      Aunti is my fave album by her

  2. briano 1 February 1, 2016

    Cant wait to get a physical copy

    • Mother Goat Is A Scam February 1, 2016

      This cokehead scams her ritarded fans to get the #1 album title. Embarrassing…

    • RiRi4Eva February 1, 2016

      This is her Born This Way era. She knew she was going to flop so she bought the album herself. I see you Rih!

  3. truth (Honey Adele is a FAT COTTAGE CHEESE eatn ho!) February 1, 2016

    Whats the point??

  4. Ummmm February 1, 2016

    When are the sales predictions coming out?

    • Riri, the Clown Fka Pray for the Youth February 1, 2016

      Patience. It takes time to contrive a convincing lie. They need more time to fabricate some more numbers.

      • blue February 1, 2016

        that would be funny if record labels were the ones who did prediction? Prediction and the tracking of sales is done by independant bodies. #ignoranceisadiseasetoo

      • Jamie February 1, 2016

        That’s the funniest thing I’ve read today!!!

  5. UPGRADEBOY February 1, 2016

    I can’t wait for the epic dragg session after her first week sales revealed,iam talking about réal sales not Samsung free download

  6. Tonya February 1, 2016

  11. Nicky February 1, 2016

    Lmfaoooooo@ beyaki fans

    My fave doesn’t need an iTunes shut down and 17 videos to sell an album

    By the way. Her album is being sold for 13.99 2 dollars less than an album with 17 videos.

    Lmfaoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! BargainBeyaki

    • Career Ender February 1, 2016

      I don’t get why you onto Beyoncé while camp fenty is facing a flop at hand?

  12. Barb-wire February 1, 2016

    Fraudulent b****, cheating her flop ass to a million and “thank” her Gayyyvy on twitter for the platinum certification when in actuality her broke ass gays never bought anything.

    • Career Ender February 1, 2016

  13. Ciah’s Turtle February 1, 2016

    lmao yall comments are pitiful.

  14. Gaga’s Monster February 1, 2016

    queen of free download…. 🙁

  15. Lady wonder February 1, 2016

    The artist and the team knows sales predictions before the public, it won’t be far fetched if sales were pathetic and they are indeed trying to plot another scheme to go with her pity plaque.

    • blue February 1, 2016

      you just described every record label ever! Artists should really worry if when your album is predicted to do low numbers they dont do everything they can to improve those initial predictions.

  16. LOL February 1, 2016

    Liar b*tch..so desperate for a comeback.

    #4FingersInYourBootyAssBitch

  17. Queendonna February 1, 2016

    Riri got paid. Y’all can bite lips this week. Good for her.

  18. Mother Goat Is A Scam February 1, 2016

    Yeeesss 2 out of 5 stars. ?

  19. No favs, just here for the music February 1, 2016

    So it’s only available digitally right now? I had no idea. Wtf is the purpose of having a separate physical release date?

  20. Rose February 1, 2016

    She slayed because she scams her way…thats why b*tch!!!
    #3fingersoutofyourbootyassbitch ??????

  21. RiRi4Eva February 1, 2016

    No better than Stink Print “selling” 3.5 million only. ??????

  22. RihYonce February 1, 2016

    In other news last night it was confirmed that one of Beys new singles is called “formation” and that was the video shot in skid row , & she was originally going to perform it at MIA until the set list leaked ? The queen is near

    • Ummmm February 1, 2016

      What’s MIA? Got a reciept? I’m so thirsty for some tea

      • RihYonce February 1, 2016

        Made in America festival ! She was going to perform it there but decided not to, also I’m hearing tea about the top shop as she shot back in October it’s too much ? The announcement is too close

    • RiRi4Eva February 1, 2016

      who cares…it will flop. next??? 😆

      • MadonnaThaDinosoaur February 1, 2016

        Trying to start a stan war? ?

      • RihYonce February 1, 2016

        I love Rihanna please don’t make me drag

  23. SWISH February 1, 2016

    the pressedness of some of these souls in these comments is disturbing .. not to mention half of these comments are self-drags LOL

  24. Walker February 1, 2016

    Why bother. No one is going to make the effort to leave their house, drive to the store to pick up a Rihanna CD. They may as halt distribution of the physical release and mortgage off the rest of Rihanna’s Roc Nation contract/life to Samsung so that they’ll buy those too.

  25. What now February 1, 2016

    KIII @ the pressed souls! YES LET THAT HATE flow within! Anyway, I c wat Riri is doing. It’s low key a combo of Jay-Z & ‘Beyoncé’… self titled was a digital release before it was a physical release. Jay-Z got Samsung to buy a million copies of the album before it was released as well. While it is admittedly messy in a way, the business side of it is genius. The bih got paid 25 million for going through Samsung. She will get coin from the tour even if it doesn’t sell out. To top it all off, the bih will also receive coin from OWNING her masters. She wins! So honestly who cares wat Anti sells? She is coined tf up.

    • Linear February 1, 2016

      So in other words, everything about this project is smoke and mirrors and basically fake. She got her money, a bought and paid for RIAA certification and therefore it doesn’t matter if the truth about the actual reception of this album is being diluted. Sure.

  26. briano 1 February 1, 2016

    I cant stop listening to kiss it better

    I havent even listened to the other songs besides work she did that!

    She and Nuno B literally make MAGIC

    I feel her so much in that song..that’s my Rih!

  27. HailBeysus February 1, 2016

    Kiiiii yaaaasss those Monster’s better rise and get their draggings in! Cheat-hanna is the new epitome of Anti-Success! The lengths an egotistic maniac will go to mask the floppage!

    ” @ rihanna

    a challenge… “How dat feel down there on ya
    knees,… instagram.com/p/Xc_hqBBM4V/
    4:46 PM – 29 Mar 2013”

    We better be seeing numbers above 500k since Tidal said you sold 400k in 2 days. This bitxh has a 9 day tracking week! She dropped the album on the 28th. Those numbers better be above 900k like the QUEEN!” @ rihanna

  28. DIABETES UNBOTHERED February 1, 2016

    Lol there are sum songs on this album that i cant even listen to. That hasnt been the case since TTT. This album was better off as a 8 TRACK EP… only 8 songz are worth listening too, it wuld have deserved a 7/10 instead of 6/10.

    • blue February 1, 2016

      just read that billboard is gonna count anti’s tidal sales of 400k!!!!!!!! Rihanna haters better get their inhalers

  30. DIABETES UNBOTHERED February 1, 2016

    Rih was better off surprise releasing this EP… STAYING QUIET in 2015 & releasing no singles snippets or scaming with Samsung & now i guess HDD & Billboard if they not even reporting first day sales, much less a prediction. The fact the physical release isnt out yet but the album was still leaked (by herself) was messiest thing about this era, how can the era get even messier upon release??? Only RIHSCEDULED. Kanyes album rollout for WAVES is gonna p*** .on Anti & he will be the first black artist this year to get CRITICAL ACCLAIM not ANTIBIOTICS.

  31. DIABETES UNBOTHERED February 1, 2016

    CANTI Is is just a Heavier more noltalgic R&B Sonically IMPAIRED version of UNA. 6/10

  32. blue February 1, 2016

    hell im a rihanna fan and i need an inhaler! If its true and they really gonna count the 400k imagine the slayage!!!!

  33. HailBeysus February 1, 2016

    SCREAMING@ THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!!!! I told y’all Billboard was cutting corners for Cheat-Hanna ?????
    They giving her a 9 day tracking week KIIII
    I CANNOT DEAL!!!
    Her and her team are doing the most to mask the floppage!! ?????
    I wonder how much all the bribery and scamming is costing HoeANNA ??????????????

  34. Keri Qween February 1, 2016

    Get that #1 b****

  35. Humble Christian woman February 1, 2016

    Rihanna is a cheating, flop sore loser. I would respect her more if she flopped with dignity like Ciara and stood by her art regardless. The album is pretty cool and one of her best since GGGB. We will probably never know her real sales. Flop.

  36. AnnaliseKeatingsNewWig February 1, 2016

    Who’s D*** from billboard did DiarrrRIHéah suck to pull this stunt. VigilANTI is non-commercial album with no hits, no promotions and no hype, so no wonder Hœhanna bought a million copies of her own album and sold it back to her slavi. I’m screaming Bih.

  37. DIABETES UNBOTHERED February 1, 2016

    Bey sales 400k REALCOPIES at REAL FULL PRICE on the FIRST DAY lol while Rih sales 400k (which i still doubt) at discounted price on tidal. Either way Rih will still be discredited for CHEATING even if things still look good on paper. With this much CHEATING available Bey next album should sell 2 million first week… kiiii too bad bey wont be needing to lie to fans anytime soon.

    • Humble Christian woman February 1, 2016

      Beyonce didn’t need smoke and mirrors. She won fair and square. Changed the game with that digital drop! There’s no hype for Anti at all and we’re supposed to believe she’s already platinum?

    • DJ February 1, 2016

      SHE HAS SOLD ONLY 15,000 BB & HHDX…………
      Jayz’s greed has destoyed her career.
      No more VEVO for the navy ??? ……..
      her last arena tour. SAD.

  38. Keri Qween February 1, 2016

    Reports say 400k i can’t waittttt im gonna scream at the slayage

  39. blue February 1, 2016

    look at the seethe already!!!!! 400k actual sales at full price or atleast at above $3. Honey if you can laugh at her flopping atleast be man enough to accept when someone is winning making up lies is just pathetic

    • HailBeysus February 1, 2016

      Hahahaha bish where am i seething or making up lies??? The industry is laughing and upset with Cheat-Hannas scamming ways. She’s being accoused of inflating sales and giving us Gaga teases all over again! Lying is a sin h** take the L. You can’t win for losing!

      “I’m all for innovative album rollouts and out-of-the-box marketing, but this situation makes a mockery of artists trying to sell albums to actual consumers,” Mike Wass of Idolator writes.

      • blue February 1, 2016

        at the end of the day it doesnt matter what tidal claims as long as they cant prove it. And if the article i read is correct and accurate then it means tidal must have the receipt to back it up. You could always wait for billboard to deny all this, then you can drag happily ever after.

    • Marley February 1, 2016

      400k in the US or WW?

    • AnnaliseKeatingsNewWig February 1, 2016

      LMAOOO, it doesn’t matter if it’s $100 now, the POINT is it was available for FREE for one million people + the millions that streamed it.

  40. Keri Qween February 1, 2016

    The album sold 400k at full price, you must be thinking of your fave slashing 4orgotten to $6 because Anti is full price ?

  41. blue February 1, 2016

    but im getting ahead of myself lets wait till billboard confirms this, cause the is still a chance that these are WW and not just USA based

  42. Marley February 1, 2016

    If you think Rihanna sold 400k in the US in two days you are delusional. Even her fans are admitting its unlikely. This is the same girl with cannot sell over 300k with a massive WW hit. And after all this Samsung mess, her team clearly cannot be trusted.

    • HailBeysus February 1, 2016

      Forreal! Lets also not forget about that 1 million that I company bought and noy a single consumer. Than the RIAA gives a platinum certification. The Navy was quick to defend saying all the albums were downloaded first in 15 hours before the certificate was given. Did Hoeanna seriously exclude her fans WW and only let US fans download it?? This era is a mess and Grade-A scam at its finest!

      • blue February 1, 2016

        those million sales were paid for by samsung, if one of their conditions was that only usa based consumers would qualify then thats what would be done

      • AnnaliseKeatingsNewWig February 1, 2016

        “Where does it say they will count the 400k?”
        _____
        CLOCKEDT!!!!!

      • HailBeysus February 1, 2016

        @blue lol not when the Navi has been throwing around Rihanna is her own boss, she owns her master’s, she gets to handle how her music is handled and portrayed to the masses. If Samsung called the shots in the deal KIII!! They better sit the fuxk down and leave Beyonce alone. Not when she has a $50m deal with pepsi and has the rights on how she wants to advertise or portray pepsi’s product over their 10 year contract.

      • Marley February 1, 2016

        Right. So it’s a statement from Tidal. That’s all I needed.

  43. Chile Please!!! February 1, 2016

    Am I the only who’s over it & really don’t give a fawk anymore???

  44. Anti(hives scared of R8) February 1, 2016

    Lmfaooooooooooop@ itchy hives

    Lmfaoooooooooo. Why don’t u wait for the numbers

    I know y’all are at the edge of your seats like the navy. Secret fans

    Lmfaoooooooooo!!!!!!! Only people who do that when it’s someone who is a threat to their fave

    Beyoncé is more talented right. Lmfaoooooo!!!!

  46. Cinnamon Girl February 1, 2016

    Who in the world wants yo get their hands on this junk?

  47. ???Chile, leave my weave at the door and don’t steal it like those broke ass barb stans??? February 1, 2016

    You know what? I don’t know why the majority of people don’t like “Woo”. I thought I would hate it too because of Travis Scott’s involvement in the creative process, and even though it does sound like most of the tracks on “Rodeo”, I think it’s one of highlights in the album. She’s literally in her rarest form, yet somehow she’s being natural with the delivery of the lyrics. It’s crazy how it actually does coincide with her real life too. I love it!

  48. blue February 1, 2016

    her owning her masters meaning she get to choose whether or not to associate herself with samsung, whether or not she wants to sell them one million copies. Once she sells them that one million copies they then decide what to do with it.

  49. briano 1 February 1, 2016

    At the end of the day Rihanna has done what a great artist does …..transport you away with music (not pound u over the head about their better than you, richer than u, how u cant ride with them Etc….that is NOT music that is ego/narcinarcissism/ capitalism in music industry gone bad

    Rihannas discography speaks for itself and its beautiful funny and badazz

    Like someone aptly observes rihanna is a multi layered person and it shows in her music and fashion

    I am so happy the world gets to hear her.

  50. HailBeysus February 1, 2016

    Annnnnd all we continue to get is excuses lmao!
    Anyways i had my fill of clocking and dragging Ritardanna stans. Ill def be back for that predictions and first week sales post.
    Ohhhh chawld! If they give that girl those first 2 days of sales for This weeks sales to Cheat-hanna… the NAVI is gunna need to disappear. It will clearly show what a fraudulent cheating ass flop she is! Until peace out Navi. Have fun a give prayer for AntiSuccess because she needs it with all this shady shiiit surrounding her albm sales.

    • blue February 1, 2016

      you need a tissue with that world shifting meltdown?

      • HailBeysus February 1, 2016

        I do so i can wipe the s*** from your lips you’ve been talking these past few days but can’t seem to back up!

      • blue February 1, 2016

        what cant i back up? The fact that ANTI is platinum or the fact that tidal just confirmed that it has sold another 400k in 15 hours?

      • HailBeysus February 1, 2016

        Lmao receipts of them JUST confirming selling another 400k in 15hrs. Also why the fuxk you still @me??? I know you ain’t figured out a solution to feeding all those walking skeletons on that dry ass dirt poor CONTINENT ?????
        Get to stepping please!

  51. JMar February 1, 2016

    Rihersal Needs To Have Several Seats The Real Queen Bey Is Back She Coming Enjoy Your Hype While U Can Beyonce About To End Your Career Rihfund.

  52. Brandys Starr February 1, 2016

    Why do I feel like this whole era is just suspicious. Rihanna girl I like you but this is not it. Why are her predictions taking so long to come out? Why do I feel like Tidal are trying to work out some kind of shady deal with Billboard to mask a flop?

  53. briano 1 February 1, 2016

    Rihanna nailed it!

    Her MUSIC is awesome

  54. Tyler Makiavelli February 1, 2016

    Please! The album isn’t all that. 6.5/10
    Say what you will about Beyonce, Bieber and other artists, but they topped Billboard because their albums deserved it. Nothing was BOUGHT

    • blue February 1, 2016

      400k was by paying customers. Whats wrong with that. She gave away 1million copies for free and still managed to get 400k extra actual sales in 15hours

      • Tyler Makiavelli February 1, 2016

        Doesn’t even matter at this point because I’m over this whole fraudulent album.
        * holds up peace sign and fades out *

    • What now February 1, 2016

      KIII. Why r u even listening?

  55. .:: Centurion ::. February 1, 2016

    Are they still seething? LMFAO. ANTI is platinum by the ONLY recording industry trade union in America, which is the RIAA. Rihanna already won this era and your moaning, cries and tears will not change that. 😆

  56. .:: Centurion ::. February 1, 2016

    Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar’s last albums are also certified Platinum. Congrats!

  57. briano 1 February 1, 2016

    The hive need to give it up

    And go sing about how their fraud is fresher than them

    They obviously have no taste

  58. briano 1 February 1, 2016

    Or sense
