OK no one expected Rihanna to go over 5 or 600,000 but anything below 200,000 for an established well-promoted artist coming off of a top selling previous album signifies a FLOP! This 'singles-artist' argument is weak. What makes you think Rated R has enough hit singles to get her to GGGB type sales? She's already released 3 songs from the album. Anyway, she shouldn't have to have such a slow build again. Where's the momentum the last album should have created for her? Face it...people are not feeling the direction of her music and image and she should not have tried to use the CB situation to promote her album.
