Despite only recently surpassing 500k in US sales, Rihanna’s ‘Rated R’ album has just been certified platinum by the RIAA. However, the LP has not sold 1 million copies at retail venues, rather it has shipped over 1 million units in the US and is expected to achieve that sales figure with retailers in the near future.
Congratulations are in order for Rihanna and her marketing team. Whether or not she is a gifted musician is unimportant. What is key is that they have managed to achieve a feat that many artists in the current sales climate are desperate to capture. Furthermore, with a repackaged version of the LP seeming to be a strong possibility at this point, I certain that she will pass the 1 million mark before the end of the year.
HAHAHAHHA ALLL OF YA ON THIS SITE WHERE HATING BASTARDS AND NOW LOOK AT MY B****…SH’ES SEELING FASTER THAN GOOD GIRL GONE BAD WHICH MAKES THIS ALBUM MORE SUCCESSFUL..F*** YALL..AND SAM/TRENT , YALL B****** KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!! RIHANNA REIGN AINT GON LET UP!!! HAHAHA
The girl is doing great and it is a real shame you have to keep on hating on her. I preferred this site in the good old days when you just reported the news and there were no bitchy comments. It was better that way. Its just sad that you have to keep attacking this girl for no reason. She is selling because she has fans. It is not up to you what sells or who people like so get over it and stop throwing shade over everything she does.
Congratulations to her. I love her music, have all her albums and wish her all the success she gets. Yes she may not have the best voice, but it has improved and imo her songs are brilliant.
what about chris… I read somewhere that he sold 750,000 few weeks ago im sure my boy will get there too. but if $$ is not only based on record sales then he will sell OUT on tours.
DON’T SEE WHY PEOPLE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THEM HATING IN A POST THAT IS NOT HATING…
BUT HOW IS SHE CERTIFIED PLATINUM IF SHE HASNT EXACTLY SOLD A MILLION YET IN THE U.S….ARE THEY SAYING SHE IS PLATINUM WORLDWIDE…OR SAYING THEY EXPECT HER TO SALE PLATINUM THIS YEAR…AND SHE IS DEF SALIING BETTER THAN GGGB BUT I THINK MOST PEOPLE WHERE CALLING HER A FLOP BECAUSE BASED ON THE LEVEL OF PROMOTION SHE HAS RECIEVED AND THE STATUS OF WHERE PEOPLE CLAIM SHE IS….SHE HASNT SOLD LIKE ALOT OF ARTIS SHE HAS BEEN COMPARED TO WHO ACTUALLY GOES PLATINUM WITHING 3-5 WEEKS MANY TIMES OR MAYBE JUST A LIL MORE
But what about the talent or lack there of? Marketing and gimmicks? Yes! Real, God given talent? Not needed. Sad. The industry sucks as does Rihanna.
^Albums are certified based on shipments, not sales.
SAM,
IT IS ASHAME HOW YOU KEEP TRYING TO TEAR DOWN THIS GIRL. SHE HAS’NT DONE ANYTHING TO YOU. JUST BECUASE YOU DON’T LIKE HER DOES’NT MEAN YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE TO THIS NEGATIVITY. GOD IS NOT PLEASED!!!!!!!!
WELL ITS HAS BEEN MANY ARTIST THAT HAVE SOLD MORE THAN THAT IN THE U.S. AND HAVENT BEEN CERTIFIED…I GUESS THAT MEANS THEY DIDNT SHIP AS MANY BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO ME
@ Sugar
I personally hope that Chris Browns also does well with his album sales. I Love both their albums, both are bangin’.
@los
Lables have to pay money to the RIAA to recive a certification, I guess the lable just decided not to pay for a certification.
Finally a post with no shade.
congradulations rihanna!!
which means their ordering for it because the demand is there. Good for her. Platinum worldwide, and Gold in the US with it expected to go platinum. There’s no stopping ri ri .
@ sugar
Chris hasn’t sold 750,000 copies worldwide. It’s more like 400,000. Chris’s tour manager made up some fake numbers when rihanna fans started rubbing it in his face on twitter after Chris’s poor 1st week sales.
If it went gold in one month it will be platinum by march. Hater fall back. GOOD DAY
THANK GOD FOR “RHIANNA”!!!!
NO MAYBE HATIN’ ASS TRENT AND HIS BOOTY BRIGADE WHILE RECOGNIZE THAT A.)RHINNA CAN, I REPEAT, CAN SING B.) THAT SHE HAS BUILT A CAREER THAT IS REVERED BY MANY, AND C.) THAT THE GIRL IS LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK!
SO QUIT WITH THE BAJAN “MODEL”, OR “ASPIRING SINGER” BULLSH*T!!!
RIHANNA = PLATNIUM
CHRIS B = PLASTIC
Sales aside…the b**** can’t sing…with proper marketing anyone can be made a star (ask Britney)….She can sell a 4 million albums and she will still suck….Get off the lame b****’s d*** Rihtards. Most of you probably wouldn’t know a real song or musician if it came slapped you in the face…F****** young asses…
I dont care either way about rihanna
i still think she cant sing and that her voice has gotten better
but those sales are based on her popularity and fans not on her vocals
as long as we can agree to that then im cool with it
but good for her, she’s doing her thing however way she knows how
I knew the album was gonna sell to a certain extent. But it still isn’t doing as good as her Umbrella days.
@ trent
i applaud u b’cuz it must have took all the strength u had to say this.u had 2 throw in the shade.notice ur opinion is not affecting any thing! call her what u want”aspiring singer”,”model” “non talented”.something is very clear 2 all of us in the real world not the blog world & it’s this undeniable fact…..
THAT RIHANNA REIGN JUST WON’T LET UP!!!
People constantly tear this girl down about her singing ability, but how many people go out and buy albums for people they think can’t sing? Her fans love her and her voice not just her image because if that were the case they would buy posters not albums!
what about ike jr
@ BEN
RATED R IS ACTUALLY OUTDOING GGGB.GGGB STARTED OUT SLOW & PICK UP MOMENTUM.BUT RATED R IS PLATINUM IN JUST 5 WKS
rihanna sucks balls and so does her music. We all know her label paid for her to get this. there is no way she could of reached platinum level already. her promotion team is good but not that good!
@ Jeemzy
I dont think so… what tour manager will cook up something like that? i have a strong feeling chris will sell regardless of what people say. My boy is very talented.
i hate the fact people hatin on her her albums always go like this…i have every1 and her singles do great but her albums always constantly sale… that how she gets all her success
TRENT WHY CANT U DO A SHADELESS POST?
if you dislike rihanna, its simple do not post about her.
wasnt this the same blog saying “Rated R flopped” yet stores are still ordering more and more copies each week because its selling.
YOU’RE A F****** HATER TRENT!!!! YOU NEED TO GET OFF RIHANNA’S BACK!!!! and now that rated r isnt flopping you feel like an idiot!!!!
GO RIHANNA !!!!!!! WOOH!!!!!!……platinum baby!!!!…..im not even gonna mention that little boy, whats his name, oh whatever, i dont care, cuz this is a rihanna post and we all no that graffiti is flopping….i just find his album sales irrelevant right now, so lets just CELEBRATE!!!!!!! platinum,
@sugar he flopped hard. his tour manager lied trying to make his client look good. its a pity.
here are the world charts:
http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm
he fell off his second week, when the lowest album sold 80,000 copies. meaning he didnt even push 80k his second week. this week the sales are even lower and he still has yet to rechart. he flopped. its over.
@Jermaine….I 100% agree with you
yea, my b**** rihanna doing her thang! its no time for haterz rih!
@ sugar
Believe it or not he did. I’m not talking trash on Chris but the guy was saying the album had sold about 500,000 or something when rihanna fans were bragging about rihanna selling more. http://twitter.com/TCtourmgmtLLC/status/6786229500
So, Her Album has slowed down dramatically in the U.S but not half as fast as Chris whon only managed to sell 300K. This is compared to Rhis 500K. Not a huge difference, their both gonna struggle to go plat in the US. However Rhi is doing twice as good World wide. B4 the end of the year its sure to sell atleast 2 mill Worlwide espeicially with the help of Rude Boy, Stupid & Fire Bomb.
Rhi’s album will Fail to sell 6 million (+ over 10 Million in Singles) like Bey with no re-realeases, probably Not even with one…
good news sugar!!!! graffiti officially certified WOOD!!!!
@s*** shut the f*** up, everybody’s sales have gone down dramatically. rihanna is still expected to sell 30k or more this week and next month sales will go back to normal.
2million worldwide, when shes at 1.1 million right now? really??? you sound dumb as hell
more like 4-5 million this year, if its rereleased then 7-8million again
@s*** rihanna is doing a million X better worldwide.
russian roulette top ten in 23 countries, #1 in 4. sold over 1.752 million copies in its first two months.
rated r at 1,014,000 in 6 weeks still selling 100,000+ worldwide is impressive during this january slump.
@ cold case B****
Rhi is FLOPPING (not compared to Chris but in her own Right), I give credit when its do But lets be honest. RHIS SINGLES ARE FAILING HARD!!, & speaking of Hard it didnt even go gold & it got mediocre chart positions, It may be her most successful song this era but it hadnt even Cracked the Top 10. & RR did thanx to downloads but not for long, & dont even get me started on Wait your turn FLOP!!
RATED S*** is No longer Selling. It only went gold in 2 months!!. Get over it H**!!
EAT S*** HATERS. Any by the way – Chris Brown has yet to cross 300,000 world wide. hmm.
@ CCL, 4-5 Mill??
*WISHFUL THINKING…
@ s***
Hard is still gaining, its radio airplay is rising and digital sales are gaining as well. I belive it’s #13 on itunes. and is expected to up the charts this week from its current position of #15. Rated R is #12 on Hits Daily Double, and is expected to sell another 30,000+ copies, and finally wait your turn was never realesed as a single in the U.S. Hard replaced it.
Congrats QUEEN BEY, The IAM Yours DVD is 2X Plat & it was released after RATED S***, LMFAO, Bey is Topping Rhi with DVDs Now? ROTFF!!
Congrats on the IA Album selling 6 Million Worldwide & having 6 Top 40 Hits (4 top 10s) in America collectively selling over 10 MILLION.
Congrats on earning $67 Million Last Year according to Forbes & having a #1 Movie & yet another Successfull Worldwide Tour & being Nominated for a Record 11 GRAMMYS(inc CR Soundtrack))
*THAT BEYONCE REIGN JUST WONT LET UP**
What? Bey is topping rhi with DVD’s. That’s kinda grasping at straws.
Oh, Rihanna stans.
No one is talking about Chris, and everyone expected him to flop due to the bad press and lack of appearances. No one expected Rihanna to do this “badly.” Granted, she’s doing very well but considering all the hype she gets and being called Beyonce’s rival, she couldn’t cut it this time. This will not have the long tail that GGGB did, I don’t think they’ll re-release this one and she’ll just move on to a new project.
Also stans, in this day and age the charts don’t matter. Rihanna is still hot right now despite the sales and that’s all that counts. Chris still maintains a degree of popularity and all it could take is some time off and a hot new album and singles that pop radio WILL play and he’s good.
SO HAPPY FOR RIHANNA & WITH THE “RUDE BOY” GETTING SINGLE TREATMENT HER ALBUM SALES ARE GOING TO REALLY GO UP.BUT DID YALL HEAR DAT SEAN KINGSTON IS WORKING WITH RIHANNA FOR HER RE-RELEASE.AND HIS WORKING WITH CIARA FOR HER NEW CD.
She still has no vocal talent at all. The studio can do wonders to a voice. She proves that when she sings live.
yall hating but this gurl making money…i can’t wiat until she comes out with another album i hope it is ilke GGGB which was pop if she does something like dat again she is going 2 selling big again i can not wiat get it rihanna…make your money and let these haters hate
hmm so what the hell is this fixation with rihanna who she’s f*cking what she’s wearing(calling her a model)how many cds she sells.does anybody want to know who CIARA(princess of r&b)is f*cking what she’s wearing how much she’s selling didn’t anybody put you on that assignment .
as for the beyonce stans that come into a rihanna post to talk about beyonce’s sales,why do that it’s not gonna win her any fans.beyonce reminds me of Britney spears(Texans yall)mommy and daddy dropped everything to make them a star(they have a strong ”team”)they can pop their boodies and sing about threesomes just about anything and your daughters love them.
Good for her… but some of you realise that she is selling her M** for $5.00 and her album ( last time I checked ) was selling for $9.99 on Amazon. Most people’s sales will stay steady or go up if you offer the cd at a low price, that’s how some albums like Carrie Underwoods first album stayed on Billboard for so long, they constantly had the cd on sale. Would people pay more for her music if it was at a higher price? who knows. But this strategy is why artists have promo teams , most of it is about appearance rather than reality for ALL artists, not just her. I didn’t know that the RIAA would certify an album platinum before it actually sold that many ( that seems kind of shady ) and please tell me it is not true that labels pay for the certification. I have never really trusted how Billboard calculated sales, now I don’t trust ANY of the calculations from the industry. It is all about appearance and not really concrete facts( maybe it ‘s to create buzz or the apperance of some great success, any way it’s disappointing that they do this)
LOLOLOL POW!!!!!!!!!!!
And for all those who continue to bring up rhi’s sales vs cb’s sales who really expected his cd to do better than her’s? I know some people were online saying his would but that in no way was reality. She was the victim he was the aggressor, the media had a field day with that damn story, so the fact he sold one record he and his people should be elated! So when you all want to compare her with her ” contemporaries” stop bringing him up, it’s really not a level playing field, because he was already at a huge disadvantage compared to her because everyone hated him. Her sales are better now than last album, but she is also now considered an established artist so they should be better than before. She has great exposure, some sympathy and a great team around her.
and to add to that last message….let us all thank the UK’s Urban American Gossip site: ThatGrapeJuice.net, for being a NON STOP Rihanna promoting machine! Congrats Sam and Trent, u are NOW apart of the machine u pretend to hate…but feeds u at the same time.
once again: POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok trent, your post makes no sense at all..she is certfied platinum but has not sold a mill and you are looking at a year to get those figures????
pause!! i think fans need to relaz coz a year is nothing to rejoice about to get to a milli after a WW beatdown!!
I’m confused too., platinum means- a milli., congrats Rihanna-I love this cd girl !!!
pop that boodie BEY and swim in that blood GAGA(they say it’s art) and boodie popping is um still boodie popping.
now if rihanna swam in some blood on stage and popped that ass we would never here the end of it from s*** head morons.i hope she does it all at once so your f*cking heads explode.
just one last thing, how about RIAA certifies it gold first..i mean they should have done that first day it got sold…
heck imma get trey to get his certification…he is gold..his label is playing..he could be sitting with that platinum plaque right now…
its so sad the great lengths will go just to make her revelant..i absolutely have never seen or heard of this..who gets certified 500k units before they reach it..#wheretheydodat at…heck every artists must be on gold and plat right now!! ridiculous s*** i have ever heard and cant even believe dumb stans and trent falling for this s***!!
@s*** yes!!!! beyonce is my bitchie
*THAT BEYONCE REIGN JUST WONT LET UP**
This album it very underestimated and overlooked…Its no THRILLER but its a pretty damn solid album….way better than GGGB…i listen to it like evryday
I think this is a success a la Beyonce’s BDAY….GGGB was RiRi’s Dangerously In Love…That’s where she had the best single chart success and sales overall just like Bey had with DIL…But like BDAY, Rated R is overlooked as a flop follow up..when they are both IMO better albums than the previous ones…like Deja Vu & Ring The Alarm, Russian Roulette & Hard are the biggest chart successes but the album is still pushing…I think “Still In Love” can be Rihana’s Irreplaceable if she releases it next Hopefully..But this album will do well
I mean..
“Russian Roulette & Hard *ARENT* the biggest chart successes”
For me, RR cant touch GGGB in terms of the quality of music, but congrats to her for shipping a mill – in 8 weeks, not the 5 some of you are claiming though…
No shade, cause Im feeling quite a few songs on the LP and actually think it’s pretty damn good, but none of the singles (Hard, Russian Roulette, Wait Your Turn) are doing anywhere near the success of the GGGB singles, which is why the label are re-releasing and having to churn out videos like Joseph R Francis (google him, if you don’t know who he is)…
Still, yet again, this amply proves my point that talent is underrated by today’s market – but, it’s important to remember that there is always a ‘rihanna’ of every generation, someone who comes out and does v. well with little to no discernible talent and looks.
Will she be an icon? Never. And she will certainly never ‘be the next MJ’ – as was unfortunate enough to hear one deluded fool say over on concreteloop (part of the reason I don’t visit that site no more, that and there are too many stans over there who are unwilling to face certain FACTS – e.g. numbers, stats etc. At least on here, peeps listen to each other…), but she will do damn well in the relatively short time she’s around.
As a last note, many are saying this is the end of CB’s career. Personally, I think talent never goes anywhere. Let’s not write him off just yet. There is still -perhaps understandably – a backlask against him, and I’m saying this and, albeit being more of a CB fan than one of Rhi’s, I couldn’t listen to a song of his for months after what heppened and am still FIRMLY on her side about the whole affair. I also agree with the recent suggestion that the only reason the media are still banging on about what happened is because he’s black. What do you think would have happened if he were JT or someone else? They’d have brushed it under the damn carpet. For those who don’t agree with me, just a couple of months ago, Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones) beat up his 19 YEAR OLD girlfriend IN PUBLIC, IN FRONT OF WITNESSES – and yet have you heard more about it than a brief mention at the bottom of a newspaper page?
I DO think he should have waited more than a few months for the dust to settle before releasing a new album; the label should have released Graffiti this September instead, but there you go…
Peace…
N.B. I meant ‘little to no discernible talent BUT looks’ – Rhi IS a v. pretty girl…
she is talented …so stop saying she has none…. and she is working hard and doing very well.
Sure Chris B is talented too but I dont feel sorry for him… he is a convicted felon and Im sure there are many talented convicted felons in Jail…. I dont want to lsiten to them niether.
But give me Ri Ri all day every day…. dont stop the music!
F*** YO TRENTIA
WHOS LAUGHIN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
RIHANNA GOES HARD
KEEP HATING TRENTIA BC SHE TURNTED NOWN AN DINTERVIEW WITH U GUYS
RIHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNA
AND SHE CAN SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
SO F*** U
LOPEZ AND CIARA CANT
AND RIHANNA SINGS BETTER THAN CHRIS WITH HIS BREATHY BABY VOICE
The sad thing is the albums sold and all the money made cant buy actual talent (well actually it could if she gets a vocal coach)……when all that domestic violence crap wears out chris will sell, now its her time and chris its best if you just wait your turn cuz he will outsell her jus like he was doing before.. the fact that a dvd outsells your album proves something, mediocrity is being celebrated with her album and its cool cuz shes not the first artist. as soon as she stops throwin shade on chris or as soon as chris does an interview tellin all or until you hype monsters and pity monsters stop eatin up all her ‘i jus got abused by man and i’m stronger than before’ then we’ll see what it is. stop defending her cuz you love her so much!!her voice has gotten better but she still cant sing!!!russian roulette is awesome cuz ne-yo wrote it not cuz rihanna sings it, i mean thats the recipe for all her albums, awesome writers, kick ass producers, pretty girl, major nudity (especially now) and not to mention a “tragedy” in the form of abusive and her label jus threw a molotov cocktail at album sales!!!
as i said, the hype will die down jus as it did after umbrella came out and it will again. it seems like that rihanna reign aint gonna let up, but we all know who the alpha female is in music right now…..
did somebody actually put rihanna in the same category as britney spears?
rihanna will NEVER be as talented as britney, even in britney’s worst day bish still sold 500k in her first week.
get the fugg out of here we hating on rihanna crap. yes the bish sold 1 mil, in 8 weeks. and I’m suppose to be impressed because? when other people we never heard of sellin 2mil in 3 weeks. and the only reason the album sold that much cause, she got pity sell, her album was released around the holiday season, and her album was sellin 3.99 and 99. in itunes, and amazon.
RATED R is actually a great album, but the bish voice killed it for me.
and I guarantee u her label bought at least 200k of the album, to save face. cause they saw how bad she was doing. cause how the fugg ur album go down 70% in sale in the second week..in 8 weeks u sellin 1 mil worldwide…
yes its us thats hating thats the problem. its not the fact that the bish aint got no talent for s***. taking a great pic is not talent. copying other artists style is not talent, showing ur a** in every magazine is not talent.
WHY ARE YOU RIHANNA FANS BRAGGING ABOUT RATED FLOP SELLING 30,000 COPIES THIS WEEK! THAT’S NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT IN THE 7TH WEEK OF THE ALBUM. AN ARTIST OF RIHANNA’S CALIBER SHOULD NOT BE SELLING 30,000 IN HER 7TH WEEK ON THE CHART. YOU RIHANNA FANS WILL TAKE ANYTHING HUH???
BEYONCE IS SELLING 20,000 COPIES THIS WEEK AND IT’S HER 61ST WEEK ON THE CHART!!!!!
Haters will hate and Platinum is Platinum. GOOD DAY
sweetie shes only platinum worldwide not in the US you guys are arguin so much about the platinum and dont even realise that she’s only just surpassed 1mil WORLDWIDE??? half her album sales have been in the US and the rest WORLDWIDE!!!!! that is not impressive seein as she’s “soooo great”!!! it may be great for some artist but after all those “tear-jerking, emotive” interviews and all those nudie pics that is NOT GOOD!!!! I admit there are a couple of great songs on each of her albums but c’mon man!!!! i wish her the best though.
Congrats to Bey!
Well Good for her! She could care less about us. So Good for her. While she’s spending all your hard earned money for buying her album, she’s reading these posts like I don’t care about my fans nor stans..u know..all you above me..the stans…(the bloggers) lmao..
“where them bloggers at” that would be us…
So that let’s you know, she could care less!!! lmao.
Good for you Rihanna, I hate on no one. You work hard, it pays off.
How old are you Mushy love..lol. That pic is funny! lol.
^^^^I’m 17. Thats my little brother in the front.
F*** the RIAA lol until this talentless b**** SELLS 1 million copies THEN and ONLY then will this s*** be platinum….. it still isnt GOLD yet…
once again beyonce stans throwing shade in a rihanna post i think yall feel threaten….lol
Beyonce stans feeling theatened??? by who??? by what????

@dawon
can i get an AMEN? LOL
i compared beyonce with britney(texans yalls) compared neither with rihanna . the s*** heads that keep talking about beyonce in a rihanna post what are you shocked that this album is selling even though she went in a totally different direction and no big hits and it’s still selling.
there is no comparison between beyonce(texas bred,corn fed,say my name,mom and dad dropped everything for me,dereon model,some times sasha fierce,married a forty yr old man)Knowles and rihanna (21 yr old bajan pon de replay chick,dont stop the music,chris brown go hard rated r,4 albums later still here and going nowhere) robin fenty.
as for beyonce i’m no longer neutral her stans are very muck like her.i will never buy a beyonce record and your right she is queen bey lets see how long this sasha fierce s*** can go on before she has to stop to procreate with jay.gaga jus fell from the sky yesterday and gets a colab and a video what does rihanna have to do for this to happen(i know it will never happen folks but why) seems strange.
soooo apparently, she’s platinum without hitting platinum? LOL wow nice try
rihanna-35K week 7
beyonce-20K week 61 LOL
Black eyed peas-45k week 31 LOL
men lie, women lie, but numbers sure don’t
yesssss let’s wait another 11 months for this b**** to FINALLY hit platinum
dead at rihanna haters coming into her post i see you are mad!!!!!!!

@ Rihanna Flop
week 7=35k=flop?
how is that a flop, I mean really what is she supposed to be selling in her 7th week, 100k?
This is January, record sales are s***** during this time of the year. #1 albums struggle to sell 100k during january, but you’re gonna go grasping at straws and criticize her anyway.
@ Kongo
you speak the truth and they know it
@ Kongo
“Beyonce fans hate on rihanna why because she is her compertition”
——
^ On the Contrary, I actually like rhi & I listen to both her last albums & shes on my M** so I do like some of her, I mean her producers music. Infact Bey & Rih share some of the same followers(Im not gonna say fans). Bey & rhi, they actually share some of the same marketing strategies what with releasing multiple singles & having a mixture of genres on each album being different from the last.
the thing is that a lot of rih stans go around putting Bey down as if Rih is a worthy adversary when shes NOT so We Fans Dispel thats Not because we think that Rih is competition but because its just the opposite.
Rihanna cd is not platinum,It has shipped platinum almost 2 months after it was released. The reason why many say it’s flopped is because it was supposed to ship platinum the first week,but the demand was not there…….
I also want to say to the poster that said that Chris manager lied,ah no he didn’t.Chris has sold over 800,000 cd’s whether you want to believe it or not.
@who is that
don’t you have a 99 CENTS album to go buy?
if you ever wanna see it go platinum FOR REAL? LOL
as for top notch men, oh! were you referring to the one who beat her ass? or the current one, who is soaking up all the media attention and using her as his puppet? which were u referring to?
The sympathy votes for Rihanna will run out eventually. All the promoting and goofy videos she will be in, in the future will not help in the long run either. She has no talent, cant sing, cant dance, cant act. She better enjoy what she has now because it wont last that’s just my opinion
Why wouldn’t it go platinum, it was only 99 cents right?. lol
Rihanna stans are so immature grow the f*** up she doesn’t care about any of you.
@ symone
uhhh, no chris didn’t the twitter post that chris manager posted was after it debuted on the charts, when the album only sold 122k, and he said sales where ove 500k. Current worldwide sales are a little under 400k. Look it up babe!!!!
Omg people. Seriously? There are hardly any artists out there who don’t care about their fans.
Rihanna and her team took a very new artistic, different direction. I, in fact, love the new look and style because it really sets her apart. It shows she’s not afraid to try new things and she’s still bringing it and working hard no matter what anyone says. If she was going to flop and drop into obscurity, don’t you think it would have happened with her first or second albums that all in all weren’t that good? She has a lot more staying power and creativity than people giver her credit for, and at this point I think she’s established herself to the point where even if she didn’t even half way try anymore, she’s still gonna sell and be loved by her fans and the media.
I say just keep doing your thing Rihanna.
rihanna’s CD is platinum all the blogs confirm it, and so do everyone in the music industry. Platinum worldwide baby. And that’s the truth. You haters just can’t stand it, because you believed she would tank, but instead she surprised your asses. Go on rihanna, continue to do you boo, and rub it in their faces. They can’t stop you ma. Haters stay on their game and no we won’t retire the word Hater, as long as haters keep showing their true colors believing that they can speak destruction into existence. Remember that for every one praying for rihanna’s demise there are two or three praying for her success. The numbers prove that, there are currently more lovers of rihanna than there are haters. Hell even rihanna fan sites have more hits than all these blogs put together. What does that tell you.
Now let me tell you all how big miss ri ri is. She was seen out with a man, and suddenly all the newsmagazine shows, and blogs are all over it. NOt to mention, Matt Kemp’s popularity suddenly flew through the roof. Tonight, Access Hollywood even mentioned rihanna’s hot s*** black three piece bikini she wore on her little trip to mexico. They even interviewed the designer, who is said to be designing bikini’s exculsively for ri. Also that designer has been getting calls off the hook just because people found out ri was wearing her designes. NOw who besides michelle Obama could have people running around trying to find the designer of what she wears, no one else but the baddest bish in the game. Miss Ri Ri of course. It must be good to be rihanna. Young, stunningly beautiful, talented, hitmaker and not to mention internationally well known. This girl has the world at her feet and she deserves it all.
there is no comparison between beyonce(texas bred,corn fed,say my name,mom and dad dropped everything for me,dereon model,some times sasha fierce,married a forty yr old man)Knowles and rihanna (21 yr old bajan pon de replay chick,dont stop the music,chris brown go hard rated r,4 albums later still here and going nowhere) robin fenty.
thats a damn shame.
i mean good for her cuz now her label wont drop her for having low sales
but damn, its a sad day in the music world if all u need to sell music nowadays is a good sense of fashion :/
@ Rihanna Flop! LMAO! AMEN!!!…YOU BETTER SCHOOL THESE RIHHOE STANS OF HOW MUCH OF A FLOP SHE IS…LOL
For you fuckers haters saying that her album was a flop all you guys need to go suck a d*** or something because RIHANNA’S ALBUM WENT PLATINUM!!!!! HAAHAHAHAHAHA in your motherfucking faces haters and for who album is a flop it’s chris brown the reviews he got on his album was so bad most critics called it garbage and at some points rubbish.
THAT RIHANNS REIGH JUST WON’T LET UP
OUT
Y’all stans need to stop worshipping these celebrities. It’s sickening the way y’all get mad and emotional over them it’s not that serious. Good for all of em cuz they surely don’t worship their fans. Stop cursing ppm out that don’t like a certain celebrity as much as u do. In reality none of these celebrities care one bit about us they r just happy y’all r keeping them famous and making em rich. So calm down none of this celebrity crap is that serious gosh cuz bey, rhi, jay, kanye or any other celebrity cares about us so CALM DOWN!!!!!!
man, all this arguing about sales numbers….Re: CB’s sales, all i’m going by is an interview with the Chief Exec. for Charts at Billboard, who is saying figures show Chris’s fan base is rock solid and there is no sign of a problem in his sales. Rihanna – I don’t really care. I like her songs and her videos, but I don’t like her. I think she snidely stuck a dagger in Chris with that national interview – “I’m embarrassed that I fell for THAT kind of person” – WHAT kind of person?? She’s too haughty for me – give me that down-home sweetheart who can sing and dance his pants off like no one else out there. I’ll download Rated X for curiosity, but I’m buying Grafitti right and left for car, house, friends and family,,,,
dead @ Rihanna Flop coming back to check what people say …..lol you’re pressed lol
TRUTH AND CHiANNE NEED TO SHUT THE F*** UP… CHIANNE SOUNDS SO FAKE AND SO DOES TRUTH. everyone knows feuds between artists are going to be heated so if you can’t take the heat get out the mother f****** kitchen b******!!!
WELL SINCE PEOPLE CLAIM THE GRAMMY’S ARE NO LONGER REVELANT WELL I GUESS THAT GOES FOR RIAA AS WELL….I LIKE HOW U CAN SELL 400K AND SOMEHOW CONSIDER THAT PLATINUM….IF THIS IS THE CASE…MARY J IS PLATINUM AND SO SO IS ALICIA KEYS….HEY F*** GOLD LETS JUST ALL DO PLATINUM NOW…
@ f*** rihanna
no matter what you say she has the she is platinum just face it
i hate beyonce hehee!
@f*** rihanna I like how you guys weren’t complaining when everyone else got their platinum status, but now cause its ri ri, you all saying the RIAA is not relevant? Please you guys believed the blogs when they said she would flop, you wanted it so bad, but now that she has garnered success and did it faster than her last album, you guys are grasping at straws looking for an explanation. Here’s one for you. Rihanna has fans all around the world that is greater than the haters on the blogs. Accept it, marinate on it, and deal with it. Rihanna is here to stay, and is getting bigger by the year.
Rihanna cd is not platinum,It has shipped platinum almost 2 months after it was released. The reason why many say it’s flopped is because it was supposed to ship platinum the first week,but the demand was not there…….
I also want to say to the poster that said that Chris manager lied,ah no he didn’t.Chris has sold over 800,000 cd’s whether you want to believe it or not.
*******************************************************************************************
@symone you really believe this nonsense that came out of your head? How can her CD by shipped platinum 2 months after it was released, when she was firmly in fourth place in the days after her release. It is clear that rihanna’s Cd has been selling consitently from the time of release until now, the demand for her CD has increased from first week till now and led her to her rightfully deserved platinum status. Don’t try to take that away from her, just because you want to see her down and out lying in a ditch. It ain’t never gonna happen, so you better get used to it.
@FUCKBEYONCE NO MATTER WHAT U SAY RIHANNA WILL ALWAYS BE A TALENTLESS FLOP ASS NAKED ASS B****..
@NEWSFLASHHATERS IM SAYING THE RIAA IS IRREVELANT BECAUSE THIS B**** IS ONLY GOLD NOT PLATINUM….F*** WHAT SHE SHIPS IF IT AINT SELLIN IT AINT SELLIN AND IT AINT SELLIN….FLOP ASS H**….
@ F*** Rihanna
Don’t you have anything better to do. Everytime anyone has anthing good to say about the damn woman you jump at it trying to invalidate it. If you don’t like it thats fine but respect the people that do!!!!
@f*** rihanna get it right b****. Rihanna is platinum world wide, and Gold in the US. So where the hell are you getting your info. No one is saying she is platinum in the US. You need to read and comprehend before you start opening that stinking trap you call a mouth. They said she is expected to hit platinum in the Us, but is already world wide, based on the units shipped to the US when it is all said and done and those units sold, she will be platinum in the US. Did i break it down good enough for you?
@ News Flash Haters . OMG you are the best you speak your mind so well and you don’t take any s*** from anyone..you have facts and proof of how well rihanna’s album is doing and I think all the haters just wanted to see her album flop so bad but now that it is doing so well all they do is make up s*** saying how it’s still bad of a album which is not true.. if her album is “so bad” as much of you f****** haters say then why is there such a high demand for it and it is doing so well…Take a lesson from News Flash Haters because all the people hating on rihanna for no reason might learn something.. don’t get all mad because chris brown album is actually the one that motherfucking flopped…hahahahahaa
THAT RIHANNA REIGN JUST WON’T LET UP.
