WHAT MEANS A NUMBER 1 ALBUM: people buy more your record, it's all depend of the first week, if Rihanna would released her albums in a date when nobody that is big at the moment would released their album too, she would have that number 1 but the girl is too brave to compete wih the biggest, her albums are successful worldwide without a US #1 album.

Madonna knows we pay for her, do you know that RAY OF LIGHT debuted at #2 and is her best record, it's all about the sales not the quality of the material, AMERICAN LIFE debute to #1 and is considered to be a commercial failure but the album is great too, something like Beyonce 4 a very underrated album (you see my point).
