As the age-old adage goes, seven is number of perfection. And oh does that seem true for Pop rebel Rihanna. For after seven tries, it appears the Bajan bombshell is set to score her first US #1 album with ‘Unapologetic’.
Details after the jump…
According to the ever-reliable Hits Daily Double, the ‘Diamonds’ led set (which hit stores yesterday) is on-course to top next week’s Billboard 200 with sales of…
240,000 – 260,000
Say what we will about Ms. Fenty, we must give kudos where they’re due. Hence, why we extend our early congrats to Roc Nation, her label, and all involved with cooking up this Milli Vanilli styled scam.
It’s been a costly journey (literally), yet one which finally seems to be paying off. For, not only is Rihanna starting to achieve a fraction of the commercial “status” she’s been faking for years, she’s become an industry revolutionary of sorts. Don’t laugh, we’re being serious.
Indeed, who -more than her- has evoked the amount of “I know she can’t sing, sucks at dancing, but I just love her personality” flavoured comments? No one. A fact which proves her and her team as one of the main forces behind mass acceptance of mediocrity in the music industry; the prime purveyors of the models-with-a-mic and fast food McMusic.
Still, being the fair and unbias outlet we are, we must – once again – extend our congratulations. For Rih’s sake, let’s hope it’s not premature.
Of course ya are first!
DEAD SAMANTHA posting links to buy ad/bc, kid rock album…i never saw anything realting to them on this blog until now yet you posting links like you listen their music. lmao the shade of it alll
Beyonce is in trouble if she doesn’t actually slay this next era. Like seriously, her ass better be giving me Bday promo teas next year of everyone will have to accept that Rihanna is the best out there.
Beyonce will be in a lot of trouble if she does not slay this next era. The pressure is all on her. She also has look head to toe stunning too. If she is not topping global itunes charts within a hour. It is a wrap.
BTW IT”s #1 in 43 countries
http://twicsy.com/i/JqNRNc
Its number one on i-tunes charts not album charts it is 1.99 on i-tunes charts. i just thought i should mention that put thats is still a good acheicvement
This article is straight hatin. Give the girl her props. She can sing and she can dance. She also knows her limitations. Why couldn’t this article say good job instead of calling her a scam? I guess as people we can’t be happy with someone’s elses success.
She can’t dance. Her singing is debatable tho….
B**** PLZ!!! Rihanna can dance and sing? Are you looking at the same Rihanna as me? Show me the Motherfucking receipts!!!!!!
prettigurl, keeps looking at themselves and getting
that Mug shot confused with Rihanna, po thang!
Not everybody needs to love a getto weaved up h** shaking her fat ass up and down on a stage, while pretending to sing when she damn well know its a pre-record track that is playing, and faking pregnancy for a HOT 100 top 70 on Billboard.
Screamyonce, who yells on every track, and thinks shes actually hitting a note, can keep on sucking Jay Z’s c*** and keep on bringing out irrelevant rnb for her flop fans. The b**** don’t even care about you FLOPFANS . She tweeted 4 times, one is to go on her site ( yes you b****** keep on paying her 20 000 $ lace wigs ), and the others to use the HumanItarian thing to promote her flop single I WAS ( A FLOP) THERE. BEYONCE is already seated cause she is irrevelant, RNB is dead. NOw the pressed stans need to follow her bleached skin and have several seats on jay z’s c*** also.
AWWW We have some beyonce haters. All yall favs love beyonce………………… so take a d*** b****.
@ HOTTSTUFF, its padding actually!
mabe thats were she got the idea for her pregnancy!?
@Hotstuff she may be ghetto IN YOUR OPINION. But at least she has talent. Give credit where it’s due.
@prettygurl and while Rihanna may be all that yo fickle mind thanks there are countless millions who disagrees with you and countless others who hates on rih with a passion and even after all these years still will swear on a stack of bibles that Rih can’t pour P*** out of a Booth and that is so UNCOUP, STUPID, SILLY IGNORANT, UNFAIR TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND THE WHITE COMMUNITY AND ALL ACCROSS ALL DEMOGRAPHICS IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
Rihanna is the only artist in the UNIVERSE who has to be defended fro you DIRTY ASS PACK DOGS, FOR EVERYTHING SHE DOES, WHY? I MEAN BY NOW YOU SHOULD JUST SCRAM IF YOU DISLIKE HER THAT MUCH IT SEEM, BUT YOU CAN’T CAN YOU? WE DO UNDERSTAND….
rihanna stans all hyped about finally getting this number 1 album (6 albums later) with a top selling single an album thats only selling 260,000 on BLACK FRIDAY!!!! (week) with an early Monday release lol. the navy hating on other artist whom who has sold 300,000+ in the summertime without top a single top 10 single or much US promo while taking pre-meds for baby jesus carter. 🙂 i love rihanna but yall gotta stop bringing the Queen in the middle. ps there is no competition.

Seriously…this site is becoming more and more pathetic in the way it reports. Heading over to necolebitchie.com … less posts but higher quality. Oh btw, she was actually invited on the 777 tour and traveled with Rihanna and other relevant music journalists cross the globe. NEXT

@CasC are you serious, Sam must be thanking the high heavens he wasn’t invited. All the journalists are calling themselves the 777 plane Survivors DWL
Congrats of Rihanna on her 1st # 1. All the gimmickry has finally paid off. Go gyal!
Rihanna what Beautiful Eyes You have,,,
http://rihannadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/ratedr.jpg
Seriously??! How is this beating LOUD or even TTT? both had huge singles carrying them.
Oh well, 7th time lucky! lol
I believe TTT sold 197k first week.
First of all, this album is WAY better than “Loud.” I loved “TTT” but I can see why people like this album better.
^I can’t. And I can see why most ppl cant.
http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-top-20-biggest-selling-albums-of-2011-revealed/
@prettigurlrockD, the “perception” is that “Unapologetic” is more cohesive than “TTT.” “TTT,” for a a lot of people, felt like an artist throwing different ideas against the wall to see which one’s would stick. I disagreed but I got the point.
“TTT” was great prelude to “Unapologetic” for me. Since I loved that album, I was able to see where Rihanna was going with “Unapologetic.” It’s very much in the same vein. “Unapologetic” is much more “TTT” than “Rated R,” and I’m learning that as I listen to it more. But the “feeling,” the “atmosphere,” is very RR.
My problem is not it’s theme. It’s the music itself. It’s just not good to me. But to each their own.
@prettigurlrockD, okay. Got you.
The most venerated occult numbers are: 3, 6, 9, 11, 13, and multiples thereof, especially 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77. A triplication of numbers is also considered sacred (possibly even more sacred) to the occultist: 111, 222, 333, and so fourth. The number 5 is the number of Death; also, an extremely scared number is the double 11, as in 11:11, or 11/11/11.
I’m just saying!
Now I have read it all, the very a/h who tries to write Rih off
time and time again for Rih Being A Human Being and got work instead of WELFARE on her fukin mind ,,,,,want o debate which Album is the good, better are best I mean for Real,,,,,,

Billboard Report (Excerpt)
Rihanna gets first no.1 album, Phillip Phillips debuts behind
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
by Keith Caulfield, L.A. & Silvio Pietroluongo, N.Y.
The busy Thanksgiving holiday shopping week has predictably shaken up the Billboard 200 albums chart, sending a diva to No. 1 for the first time and rearranging many of the albums on the tally.
http://www.mediatraffic.de/tracks.htm
As earlier reported, Rihanna’s “Unapologetic” opens at No. 1 with 238,000 sold according to Nielsen SoundScan, marking her first chart-topper. The release, her seventh album, follows six earlier top 10 sets dating back to her first album in 2005
NICE SALES!
WINNING!
Wow….you guys are now the definition of the word HATER!! And I roll my eyes at you posting links to the other albums in order to try and make her lose #1
Go Rihanna!!!!! Keep proving those haters wrong.
I saw that too!!!! The definition of desperation………Sam.
It’s something about Rihanna because Rita was sent to
stop her, Willow, and even some of the big girls and it seem
there’s all kinds of arrows shooting toward Rihanna trying to make her flop, go away are stop shinning bright like a “Diamond” and none of it is working….
7 is my lucky number! Anyways, this seems so unlikely (no shade) but good job and good luck. Kinda sad though…I wish RR sold that much…..but anyways its all good.
I told yo ushe’d go #1 h** 😛
I have a question, why do they predict such a high number (her highest) just one day after her album release? IDK I fail to see the parallel but if its true, then you won’t have a mental/physical breakdown 🙁 ………I was looking forward to you losing your mind.
Lmao, she sold an estimated 112k on itunes in the first day, and 6k on itunes. They’re professionals lol. The have predicted to low though, I think they said 140k- 160k for GGGB (165k?), and 180-200k for Rated R (ITS RATED RS BIRTHDAY), Loud and #TTT (183k, 207k and 198k. The least she will do probably is 240k, but if she has a good res of the week she’ll sell 260k.
Wow, an improvement for her!! Happy B’day RR….(I wish it sold 260k instead of Unaflopagetic lol)….F*** you Rihanna! she screwed me over! I thought she was going to give you a fright and I wanted to see you go crazy and cry. 🙁 🙁 🙁 You are so calm and I am so bored! Man, but congrats to her…..finally to shut up the no #1 album lol
Lol. She might pull LOUD-ISH sales and be platinum by January (she only sold 850k tho). She might even have the most sales ever cause of the diamonds tour. We can only hope.
Its geat to see albums associated with numbers can do well.
Benron, can you fake a meltdown? Your calmness is driving me nuts….boring.
I JUST TYPED UP A FULL ONE AND SAM DELETED IT.
i DEF just typed it up but it deleted it
Samantha is a c*** tbh.
NEW FAKE RANT:
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I HATE ALL THESE NAVI H*** WHO CAN’T BUY ALBUM AND I HATE ROCNATION FOR NOT PROMOTING! BEYONCE IS A SLUTTY FLOP H** WHO PHUCKED HER OWN FATHER. XXLTINA ATE MORE PIECES OF CHICKEN THIS WEEK THAN LOTUS SOLD! MOORIAH HAD A MELTDOWN BECAUSE SHE SUCKED TOO MANY D**** HOPING fOR #1’s. NICKI MINAJ IS A S*** WHO BUYS AWARDS AND SUCKED LIL WAYNE’S D***!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAH
BRANDY’S CHAMELEON LOOKING ASS SUCKS at SELLIGN ALBUMS LIKE SHE SUCKS AT DRIVING. SLUTTY H** PHACE! AND SPEKAING OF HORSE PHACES LADY GAGA IS A MAN. SHE SOLD HER ALBUM FOR THE SAME PRICE OF REMOVING HER PENIS! THAT COPY CAT INCEST HAVING S*** RITA ORA LOOKS LIKE THIS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIrREr8De8Q
RIHANNA IS STILL THE BEST. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
LOL hate when that happens. Sam is in a pissy mood after these predictions…..I mean he could always just join the bandwagon, right?
Gurl, you went all out. Def. better than any really meltdown! Mariah’s glitter meltdown could neva live up to your fake one. Just loved how you shaded anything breathing…..lolz…Thank you! 😀 😀
lMFAO
i EXPECT A MELTDOWN WHEN TRIUMPHANT2 (mY NAME for mariahs album) does 65-115k (IM CALLING THIS!
I won’t have a meltdown (at this point I could care less if she sells 65k or 165k; I don’t really expect much album sales wise). I will have a meltdown when it comes to the music! I will have to do a lot more dragging and defending if she sells 65k than 165k…..Her album will NOT be called Triumphant….she always has great album titles.
________________________–
Rank Rihanna’s #1s based on your most fave to least fave.
OK YOU SLAY GIRL. ONLY A FEW POP STARS CAN SELL THAT AMOUNT OR MORE IN DA GAME. BUT RIHANNA IS PROBABLY THE ONLY TO DEBUT WITH LOWER SALES THAN SOME AND STILL ON THE LONG RUN OUTSELL THEM OR GO MULTI-PLATINUM AROUND THE WORLD.
MUSIC IS DEAD!!!
lol
http://www.facebook.com/Music.Photography.Musica.Fotografia
NO, YOUR DEAF 😉
YOURE*
Another day, another pressed Rihanna post. Admit it, if you didn’t post about Rihsus this site would be S***!!!
Congrats Rih Rih.
Congrats to Rih! I love the album & it deserves to debut @ #1, I hope the predictions are true.
I THINK SHE’S HAD ALBUMS MORE DESERVING OF THIS SPOT SUCH AS ‘GOOD GIRL GONE BAD’ OR ‘LOUD’ BUT WE MUST GIVE CREDIT WHEN IT’S DESERVING. SHE’S GROWING VOCALLY AND THAT’S NOT TO BE IGNORED. I DON’T LOVE EVERY SONG FROM THE ALBUM BUT SHE HAS SOME GOOD ONES. I’D LOVE TO SEE “JUMP” GET THE SINGLE TREATMENT NEXT AND GO #1 OR EVEN “NOBODY’S BUSINESS” WHICH IS A SURE FIRE HIT. I ALSO LOVE THE VOCALS ON “WHAT NOT”. IT’S GOT A MIX OF HER LAST THREE ALBUMS ALL IN ONE.
what now is a smash waiting to happen!
7 albums later and she finally gets a 1 ooooh the shade
The great thing to be admired about Rihanna and that is that Rih
is far better then a wagon parked to the side of the road with a “Stick Horse” parked in front of it.
If this is true, like I said in the Xtina post, she managed to it even with a lot of competition out, which to me is more impressive than being #1 when no one else is releasing anything.
damn sam u r really mad
No biased yet include links to AD/AC, Keyshia & Kid Rocks’s album? Whatever Sam.
Anyway CONGRATS RIRI. Now the haters on here cannot say that she doesnt have a #1 album anymore.
In ya faces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
not*
Rihanna making it aganist the mean things people do to her and still succeeding aganist “All OIdds” is Mind Blowing,
I saw that and thought WTF……. Its not Right But it’s okay,,,,as Whitney would Sing so Well.
Lotus 73k first week. I slayed!!
Hahaha Sam you killed me by putting those other artists’ album links there like that 😀 but congrats to rihanna, finally decent numbers from an artist of her caliber….meanwhile all four of my faves albums have not sold LESS THAN 300 000 COPIES IN THE FIRST WEEK. INCLUDING HER DEBUT AND HER LAST EFFORT THAT CAME ALMOST 10 YEARS AFTER HER SOLO DEBUT. PONDER ON THAT ONE 😉
ur fave will sell less than rih with her 5th album. trust.
Hahaha I can trust and believe she will sell double the amount rihanna just sold. You know it too 😉
yet rihanna keeps outselling her at the end of the day PONDER ON THAT 🙂
Like when? Oh you mean with TTT where Bey still has sold more copies than Rihanna in the world’s biggest music market, the USA? ? Lol research is quite fundamental if you gonna come for the queen’s achievements! 😉 the album TTT managed to sell only 500k more copies than 4 ww because she (Bey was pregnant and couldn’t promote it ww the way she’s been able to with her previous albums Plus the way rihanna was promoting hers) so you fail….. name another album by r**** that has outsold any of Bey’s ?
37-40 million albums sold WW BISH…tell me how much solo beyonce sold www *taps desk*
@NAVY YA BISH
Rihanna has sold 25 – 30 million albums and 60 million singles.
Beyonce has sold 75 million records. 28 – 30 million albums and 35 – 45 million singles (solo)

LMAO b**** stop phucking lying. look @ your self in the mirror and ask yourself why are you lying just accept the facts.
ok Rihanna has sold that much with 6 albums, but Bey has sold that much with only 4 solo albums…hmmm
Looks like Bey took the cake…
and lets not forget that Bey literally MADE Destiny’s Child, which sold MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of records…
I love Rihanna but u stans gotta stop trying to compare her to Bey…she will never be on BEY’S status!!

http://acharts.us/performer/beyonce

http://acharts.us/performer/rihanna
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/woman/3566796/Is-Rihanna-bigger-than-Beyonce.html
Why the f*** wont you do some research for yourself before talking s***?? All im saying is dont say s*** u know aint true! LMAO at 37 million albums!! BAAAHAHHAAAA! One of the “navy” (Not gonna mention their name) said on this site that rihanna has actually sold 29 million albums! ummmm thats a huge difference dont u think! 29 >>> 37! Thats how i now yall be chatting s*** cos u dont no what the f*** yall be talking about! Make up you f****** minds! Stop saying s*** that is clearly not true!!
good job Rhi!!!!! icki will NEVAAAAH chile!!
Nicki already did actually. Keep reaching.
Nicki has…twice b****! lmao This is possibly the first time ANY of Rih’s 7 albums has outsold Nicki’s sales first week. LMFAOOOOO AHHAHAHAHAHAH
@D
oh child, lets not go there and talk about nicki’s sophomore slump ! …..and WW rihanna SLAY her but implants.
but did it outsell her WORLDWIDE!
Nicki has 2 #1s
her first did 375k !
USA Market only thing that matters. Let’s be real. Rihanna slays europe. Big whoop.
NO B**** RIHANNA SLAYS WORLD WIDE!! CALL ME WHEN NIKKI DOES A TOUR IN BOSNIA AND GREECE!!!
Why can’t she sell over 500k like ID? All the hype and still selling so little? That’s numbers for the so called navy queen? Embarrassing.
dont worry baby she will outsell 1D WW 😉 and her US sales on the long run will meet. RiHANNA HAS LONGEVITY.
Exactly what I’m saying, even my boo Kendrick Lamar did similar numbers and he’s not an international POP STAR. But we still need to commend rihanna for this achievement. It’s been a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time coming tihi
Kendrick wont sell like Get rich or die trying, nor Rihanna, though.
Rihanna is stronger when it comes to singles. Im not downplaying her album sales but they’re not as strong as her single sales. That’s why she doesnt sell 500,000+.
Yet she always goes platinum. Its not how you start its how you finishes. Lets see if these other artists even reach that yet alone gold.
True. Usher and CB’s last albums still hasn’t reached 400K and they were #1. All a #1 album means is that your album was the best seller of THAT week. There are countless #1 albums that flopped and didn’t even get to a million. CB”s last two albums, all of Rick Ross albums, Usher’s las one. And they are single artist that albums don’t sell crap, LMFAO, Flo Riders, J.lo and so on. If Rih a single’s artist, then she’s the queen of it then, but she sells just fine in a time when others don’t. The haters bring up artist and albums that came out over 10 years ago. She and Beyonce are doing just fine and we need BOTH of them to do good, why knock the other black chic off? I don’t see anyone knocking Swift out the way for Gaga, or Britney for Katy. R&B/Urban Pop need this.
Usher’s has crossed that mark.
Lol. Beyonce’s new album’s first-week sales will be higher than this! 😛
You ain’t never lied!
“We Found Love” made history as Rihanna’s 11th #1 hit on the Hot 100, and her 20th Top 10 hit. At age 23, Rihanna became the youngest artist in Billboard chart history to earn 11 Hot 100 #1 hits.
Shut the f*** up. Not even a Rihanna fan but you just need to shut the f*** up, why you come up with that s*** ?
But it’s okay when the R****’s fans come on Beyonce posts? NO WAY!!!!! Deal with it!
Talk That Talk’s first single, “We Found Love” (written and produced by, and featuring Scottish musician Calvin Harris) was a #1 hit in some 20 territories (including the U.S., UK, Canada, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand, and more), with too many gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications to count.
In addition:
• “We Found Love” was by far the biggest single of Rihanna’s career to date, spending 10 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., besting her previous record of seven weeks apiece at #1 for “Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z) back in 2007, and T.I.’s “Love Your Life” (featuring Rihanna) in 2008.
As reported by Billboard.com, she collected her 20 Hot 100 Top 10 singles faster than any other solo artist, six years and four months. The time span beat Madonna’s previous record (by five months), and placed Rihanna second only to the Beatles.
“We Found Love” also notched Rihanna her 16th #1 Billboard Dance single.
“We Found Love”’s success placed Rihanna in a very rarefied field as just the fifth woman to earn ‘20-and-over’ Top 10 hits, alongside Whitney Houston (with 23 career Top 10s), Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson (27 each), and Madonna at the top (37).
Talk That Talk’s worldwide sales of more than 4.5 million units and counting (as of early 2012), brought Rihanna’s worldwide album sales to more than 30 million.
As she enters her eighth year as a Def Jam artist, Rihanna has also logged a phenomenal 120 million digital song sales, establishing her as the top selling digital artist of all ..
time.
This was underscored as far back as the Billboard Music Awards at the end of 2009, when Rihanna was named the Top Digital Song Artist Of the Decade.
Talk That Talk was the worthy follow-up to Rihanna’s previous album, Loud (November 2010). Loud’s first two singles, “What’s My Name” (featuring Drake) and “Only Girl (In the World),” were worldwide successes, both solid #1 chart-toppers in the U.S. and UK. “What’s My Name,” “Only Girl (In the World)” and “S&M” became Rihanna’s 8th, 9th, and 10th #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits, respectively. With that:
Rihanna was named the only female artist of the previous decade to chart ten #1’s on the Hot 100 as well as the youngest soloist to notch ten Hot 100 #1’s.
“Only Girl (In the World)” became her 8th #1 Hot Dance Airplay chart hit, eclipsing Madonna’s long-standing record of seven #1’s on the Dance chart (launched in 2003).
Rihanna also broke a record at Top 40 with the most #1’s at the format (8) in the chart’s 18 year history.
From her Caribbean roots to the top of the charts, the runways of Paris and Milan and some of the biggest
stages in the world.
Including London’s O2 arena where she sold out ten concerts, the first by a female solo artist – the 24-ear-old, Barbados-born beauty has already earned the coveted title of international superstar.
From her breakthrough multi-platinum album A Girl Like Me to her ubiquitous global smash “Umbrella,” in just a few short years, Rihanna helped redefine the path of popular music for a new generation.
It’s hard to imagine that just four years ago, Rihanna was a young girl living in the beautiful Barbados parish of Saint Michael. Her first connection to the music industry came when she met a vacationing music producer named Evan Rogers from New York City.
After an impromptu performance for Evan, he was absolutely certain she would one day make history. Soon after, Evan and Rihanna traveled to the Big Apple in search of a record deal. It took just one meeting with Jay-Z and Antonio “L.A.” Reid for Rihanna to score her big break; Jay, who had just recently been appointed the President of Def Jam Records, was so taken by the young singer’s arresting natural talent that he signed her to the legendary label on the spot.
In 2005, Def Jam released Rihanna’s dynamic debut album, Music of the Sun, which garnered much attention due to the popularity of her highly addictive dancehall-flavored first single, “Pon de Replay.” A year later, she released her platinum-selling second album A Girl Like Me, featuring the #1 singles “SOS” and “Unfaithful.”
With two successful albums under her belt in just two years, Rihanna dropped her third album, the multi-platinum Good Girl Gone Bad, in 2007. The album’s first single, “Umbrella,” was the undisputed number one pop song of the summer and dominated the U.S. pop, urban and crossover Billboard charts for 52 weeks in a row.
“Umbrella” was also the #1 single on the UK singles chart for eleven consecutive weeks and went on to win “Video of the Year” and “Monster Single of the Year” at the 2007 MTV VMAs.
The momentum established with Good Girl Gone Bad and “Umbrella” carried over to Rihanna’s next album, Rated R. Rated R was released worldwide in November 2009 and the first single, “Russian Roulette” made chart history for Rihanna as her 12th Billboard Hot 100 career hit, placing her second (after Beyoncé) among female Hot 100 artists in the decade since 2000.
The next single, “Rude Boy” (the fifth multi-platinum certified song of Rihanna’s career) hit #1 on a slew of charts – including Billboard’s Hot 100 and Hot 100 Airplay, and MediaBase’s Pop, Hot Dance Radio, Hot Dance Clubs, Rhythm, and Urban charts.
With “Rude Boy,” Rihanna became the first female artist of the past decade to chart six #1’s on the Hot 100. After “Rude Boy,” Rihanna was back on the charts as featured artist on Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” – which tied Rihanna for the most #1’s (six) on the Pop Songs Radio Airplay chart, with Mariah Carey, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. The song also gave Rihanna her 7th #1 hit on the Hot 100, the prelude to “What’s My Name” and “Only Girl (In the World)
Rihanna has won literally hundreds of music industry awards around the world – in the U.S. alone, she has earned multiple American Music Awards (5), ASCAP Pop Awards (11) and Rhythm & Soul Awards (7), BMI Urban Awards (9) and Pop Awards (10), BET (3) and BET Hip-hop Awards (2), Billboard Music Awards (18), MTV VMAs (3) and MTV Platinum Video Plays Awards (7), People’s Choice Awards (6), Soul Train Music Awards (2), T*** Choice Awards (4), and so on.
Rihanna’s six Grammy Awards® are especially noteworthy:
• 2007: Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “ “Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z);
• 2009: Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Run This Town” with Jay-Z & Kanye West;
• 2009: Best Rap Song for “Run This Town” with Jay-Z & Kanye West;
• 2010: Best Dance Recording for “Only Girl (In The World)”;
• 2011: Best Rap Song for “All Of The Lights” by Kanye West with Rihanna, Kid Cudi & Fergie (from Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy).
• 2011: Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “All Of The Lights” by Kanye West with Rihanna, Kid Cudi & Fergie (from Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy).
Outside the U.S., she holds multiple MOBO Awards from the UK (including Best International Act in 2007 and 2011) and multiple IFPI Awards from Europe, MTV VMAs from every region.
the BRIT Award for Best International Female Artist in 2011 and 2012, Capricho Awards from Brazil, MuchMusic Video Awards from Canada, NRJ Music Awards from France, and no less than 30 Barbados Music Awards from her native country.
As her performing career soars, Rihanna continues to push boundaries in both music and fashion. She is constantly reinventing herself and has an amazing ability to identify and help set trends, thus she has become an international style icon and cover girl.
Everything from her cutting edge hairstyles to her immaculate fashion sense are heavily monitored in the glossy pages of high fashion magazines worldwide. ..
Rihanna’s Influence is also proven by her social network stats and online views. She has the most viewed YouTube page of any solo artist with over 2 billion views. She is the biggest female artist on Facebook with over 54 million fans and she has over 17 million twitter followers. And she puts this influence to good use with her philanthropic efforts with DKMS (leukemia) American Cancer Society. Rihanna also maintains ongoing arrangements as spokesperson for Armani and Vita Coco products.
Recently, Rihanna wrapped up filming Universal’s Battleship directed by Peter Berg. She will make her feature film debut alongside Taylor Kitsch and Alexander Skarsgard. The film is set to be released May 2012.
Rihanna’s impressive discography and a growing collection of the music industry’s most cherished awards have proven that this is only the beginning. With her beauty, fashion and business sense to match, the Island girl turned international superstar will continue to rock the world for years to come. The journey continues
True beyonce album sales is gonna murda hers…
YALL KNOW F****** WELL BEYONCE AINT GONNA SLAY S***!!! SHE WILL FLOP HARDER THAN RUN THE WORLD AND LOVE ON TOP AND PARTY!!!!

@BABY T, HATERS AND BEY HIVE, WHY CAN’T WE
ALL JUST GET ALONG, ASS WIPE?
@ANY RATED RIH FROM ISLANDER TO PERSENT….
With the global release of her sixth Island Def Jam studio album Talk That Talk in November 2011, Rihanna took another giant step in her journey to dominate popular music and fashion worldwide.
YOU CAN CALL IT FAST FOOD MUSIC ALL YOU WANT BUT ITS THE MASSES THAT SPEAK NOT 3 HATERS BEHIND A COMPUTER WITH A WACK ASS BLOG. RIHANNA IS ON HER WAY TO BE AN ICON, IN 20 YEARS ALL YOU H** GONNA TELL YOUR CHILDREN “I GREW UP LISTENING TO RIHANNA” WETHER YOU’RE A HATER OR NOT (CAUSE YOU KNOW, U HAVE ONE OF HER 12 NUMBER ONES HITS IN YOUR MUSIC LIBRARY) WHEN SHE WILL STOP MAKING MUSIC, SHE WILL BE MISSED. THANK YOU RIHANNA FOR EVERYTHING, YOUR VOICE IS EVERYTHING TO ME, IM IN LOVE WITH IT AND THAT’S ALL WHAT MATTERS FOR ME.
“THE MASSES ” BIG LOL
THE MASSES = preteens
As you say so, it’s fast food music. Nothing sounds musical in this s***. Just a fad that will pass with time. Any real musician will tell you.
Personally I have nothing against rihanna, she makes bubble gum songs that entertain but I do not even considered as a singer and I wonder how you manage to do so. She’s a beautiful girl with a trash attitude and i understand teens love that but definitely not a singer.
What makes me sick is the fanatics like you who considers as a queen so basically you even you do not believe it for a second lol.
You are rather funny in the end, you are so thoroughly that you do not even realize that meeting the number of sales is by no means a sign of quality.
And given the number of comments idiots, immature, hateful sometimes , I’m really sorry for you. You drown in your naivety HOTSTUFF.
Anyway it was just an aside, do not have cherces answer, I would not go back probably not on this post. BYE GIRL
@remix
LOL you’re right, don’t come back, cause you and your opinion dont matter BUH-BYE. 😉

How am I fool for asking a damn question? And if there are so many you couldnt name one?…Guess your fave isnt one of them so go take a f****** seat and only speak when spoken to, trash
BEYONCÉ GISELE KNOWLES CARTER HAS DONE IT ALREADY, NUMBER 1 ALBUM AND SINGLE IN TWO DIFFERENT CONTINENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH CRAZY IN LOVE AND DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE. WHEN WILL RIHANNA DO THAT? IN BOTH THE UK AND THE U.S.. LOOK IT UP. hope that answers you dearest 🙂
@BEY HIVE, OH BABY,,,WHAT HAS BEY DONE LATELY THOUGH YOU KNOW LIKE THE LAST FEW YEARS BECAUSE RIHANNA IS THE ONE WHO’S DOING IT NOW, BEY ISN’T DOING JACK SHYT BUT MAKING HER MOVIE AND ENJOYING BEING AS RICH AS COUNTRY BUTTER,,,
AND FOLK LIKE YO ASS AND THE BEY HIVE ARE PRESSED BECAUSE RIHANNA HAS STEPPED HER GAME
ALL THE WAY UP AND THAT IS WHY U R HEARE REMINDING US OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THE FUKIN PASS, THOSE DAYS OR GONE TURN THE PHUCKIN PAGE, DEERY!
The NAVY DON’T THINK RIHANNA IS BETTER THEN ANY “MOFO” BUT WE KNOW THAT RIHANNA IS JUST AS GOOD AS ANY “MOFO” WITH THEIR ASS POINTING TO THE GROUND!!!!!
i bet the haters SO MAD right now!!! they cant keep HARPING on the “no #1 albums in us” thing ANYMORE!
i bet too that rih’s 1st wk numbers will be HIGHER than a certain “songwriter”‘s 1st wk sales for her 5th album #BETONITBITCHES

Lmao you know yourself you don’t believe that foolery. That certain songwriter will double those sales .Now YOU CAN DEFINITELY BET ON THAT 😉
@OH BABY,,,BEY HIVE, HATERS,,
NOTICE HOW THE NAVY FOR THE MOST PART ARE CORDIAL TO MANY AND THE NAVY ATTACKS WHEN THERE IS JUST BLATANT BULL S*** THAT HAS BEEN TROWN SO HARD AND HEAVY THAT WE CAN’T SEE WHICH WAY THE ROAD IS AHEAD,,,,AND THE SHYT IS ALWAYS THE BEY HIVE TRYING TO BASH RIHANNA’S WHEELS OFF JUST BECAUSE RIHANNA WORKS HARD AND DO THE BEST SHE CAN WITH WHAT THE GOOD LORD BLESSED HWE WITH AND THE BEY HIVE ACTS LIKE THEY ARE ALWAYS PISSY , PRESSED AND MAD BECAUSE RIHANNA DON’T OPERATE LIKE BEYONCE DOES,,,,
LMAOO IKR WE don’t even care she got #1 or not but anywho this will shut their asses up.
You are so evil and god will punish you. Why are you putting links for those white rock bands over a black singer? True say, the white men will want you dead anyway. Kid rock is republican.
Chile, boo… DEATH @ u tryna bring race into it , Kelly when u call K. Cole ghetto , etc .
He’s probably linking them because they have SOME musical talent. Something Rihanna wishes she had, but doesn’t need with all the delusional sheep she has following her.
so you have never heard of crabs in a barrel? No wonder blacks are the weakest community. Promote other races and tear our race apart. Talent? is that why he loves kesha?
Hmmm tell that to activist martin luther king and pres. Barack Obama. Weak? Just cuz someone black don’t mean we automatically have to like everything they do even if it shits from their butthole.
@COMMON SENSE,,,,Why is it that any dam thing related to
or about rihanna concerns yo ass,,
Im dissapointed this album get the #1 and it wasnt Loud!
Now lets hope she gets #1 and #1 Single!!!
She will. Billboard have fixed this.
This album DESERVES to be #1.
I don’t stan for Rihanna at all but every fan base should be able to appreciate when a mainstream artist actually crafts a good album. “Unapologetic” is a good album.
It’s cute that you think Rihanna actually has anything to do with the album making process.
I used to think that Rihanna was a industry puppet who walked into the studio and sang songs that she had nothing to do with. That is, until i heard this album.
This is her. Have you read the lyrics to “Love Without Tragedy–Mother Mary?” “Get It Over With?” ”
Yes The Dream and James Fauntleroy are very present on these songs but so is she. Very clear.
the album ain’t good , but I’m here for it’s success.
@Pop Royalty, you know that I respect you as a sane Rihanna fan so it pains me that “Unapologetic” hasn’t spoken to you yet.
The album is dope! Have you not put your head phones on and listened to “Stay,” “Love Without Tragedy–Mother Mary,” and “Get It Over With” yet????
Do it.
It’s so good.
I agree..the album is horrible. Listen3d to the snippets on itunes and I fell asleep. Loveeee song sounded good though. But congrats to her..finally.
@KIM
dont worry baby she will outsell 1D WW and her US sales on the long run will meet. RiHANNA HAS LONGEVITY.
I supposed if someone kept shoving you in ppl’s faces year after year they would have no choice but to have longevity. They knew the b**** was some beyonce knock off her first two album hence why they keep changing her look and sound every year. But can’t lie. IT WORKED. Can’t say the same for the so called talent though. Lol.
prettigurl,,,The navy love Rih being pushed on US,,,
RIHANNA AND ,,,
BEYONCE LIVES HER LIFE DIFFERENT FROM ALL OF THE OTHERS AND VISA, VERSA ALL OF THEM ARE DIFFERENT AND IT JUST SEEMS SO UNFAIR TO NEVER SEE ANY THING THAT RIHANNA HAS DONE IN HER 7 YEARS AND 7 ALBUMS AS GOOD BY A FAN CLUB THAT STAN FOR ONE OF THE BIGGEST ARTIST IN THE LAST DECADE OR TWO…
I MEAN WHY BE
BITTER, PRESSED AND STRESSED OVER RIHANNA FOR WORKING HARD JUST LIKE BEYONCE,,,,MY GOODNESS RIHANNA ISN’T BEYONCE AND BEYONCE SURE IN THE HELL ISN’T MARIAH, CELINE, GAGA, MADONNA, TINA, BRITNEY, CHRISTINA, JENNIFER, MARYJ, AND NOR IS BEYONCE TINA TURNER,,,,BEY HIVE BYTCHES!!!!!!
AND ANOTHER THING BEYONCE’S BEY HIVE WANTS RIHANNA TO BE WITHOUT A PUS OF HER OWN THEY WANT BEYONCE TO HAVE RIHANNA’S PUS SEWED TO HER BACK, THE BEY HIVE DO NOT WANT RIHANNA TO HAVE HER OWN PUS, WHAT A DAM SHAME.
@BEY HIVE IF RIHANNA IS SINGLE AND UNMARRIED SHE IS SUPPOSED TO ENJOY LIFE WHY DO THE BEYONCE BEY HIVE ALWAYS SLANDERING , AND SLIMING RIHANNA’S NAME AND ALWAYS ACCUSING RIHANNA WITH SLEEPING WITH EACH AND EVERY
MAN RIHANNA PASSES ON THE STREET OR THEY ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO HOOK RIHANNA UP WITH EVERY MAN THEY CAN FIND WITH A HEART BEAT AND A PLUSE, WHY IS THAT????
@BEY HIVE AREN’T SOME OF YOU AT LEAST HAPPY THAT RIHANNA CHOOSE WORK OVER WELFARE? AREN’T YOU BEY HIVE FANS HAPPY THAT RIHANNA CHOOSE A CAREER OVER HAVING CHILDREN’S?
@BEY HIVE WHY DO YOU ALL SLANDER RIHANN’S
NAME?
AND WHY IS IT THAT THE BEY HIVE FOR THE MOST PART CAN’T STAND THE THOUGH OF TWO STRONG BLACK WOMEN BEING AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME AT THE SAME TIME?
Hahaha I know y’all mad. Everybody y’all promote flops and the chick y’all hate the most is winning!!! Yaaaas Rihanna keep the haters pressed *struts off to Phresh off the runway*
Oh ac/dc sales are not in yet? Oh ok
So, Rita Ora was menat to take Rihanna out the game. Can we say that has happened?
I’m not really a Rhianna fan but lets just say thats wishful thinking. Rhianna has too many fans…. ppl keep talking about 1st week sales but as along as her album goes platinum whats the problem???? Someone above said Nicki Minaj had higher 1st week sales but the last time I checked none of her albums have ever went platinum!
Pink friday 2010 was platinum. RR was certified but shipped less.
NIKKI HASNT WENT PLATNIUM YET!! STOP REACHING!!
Def Jam is stupid and I think they don’t care about Rihanna getting the number one spot. They always put her against bigger album sellers eg Susan Boyle, AD/DC.
Not like Beyonce who knows never to go against huge competitors. Ah well. I think she will be beaten again this year.
and i wish, just to silence the fanatics lol
@Baby T
dont worry hun, Rihanna is an international SUPERSTAR not a getto h** who makes irrelevant RNB that only sells to the black community in the USA. Having said that, Rihanna, will SLAY Beyonce WW. you will deal . XOXOX
Lol. Don’t act like Rihanna’s R&B songs haven’t flopped worldwide because they have. It’s her pop songs that are selling. R&B is irrelevant worldwide these days.
Next year Beyonce will be slaying stages and snatching wigs at the Super Bowl, awards shows and her world tour. She won’t be flopping this time!
what Rih song has flopped badly WW? She has more hits WW than Beyince and the superbowl will do more for the team who wins, over Beyince who is done. Even on her instragm, she looks to old and fat to take of s** symbol young beauty Rih.
bee has never flopped
At the end, we all know beyonce is more talented than your fave, deal with it.
California king bed, wait your turn, man down are flop WW.
S** symbol young beauty, we’ll talk about in 10 years when the effects of drugs and alcohol will be felt. BOUAHAHAHAH
man down went gold in france . As did man down. CKB went gold.
aww i suppose everyone needs some good s*** music to shake their ass to when the days, and nights get cold.
you are ignorant!
Rihanna will always remember….
That consciousness is everything and that all things begin with a thought. That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out.
Cough*
LMAO. I can’t.
You are really providing links to purchase racist ass “KID FLOPS” CD? *side-eye*
Seeing is believing *Usher voice*! After the predictions of the 2012 US Presidential elects where Mitt-Mitt Rom-Rom was suppose to sweep the country and win the “Black House” per the polls, therorists, expects, I don’t believe a thing the media has to say! 🙂
I’l wait and see. The media has been trying to down her and this CD -as they did CB -because of her personal life. I find thier actions deplorable!
You were an idiot if you followed those biased polls. Intelligent people followed the correct polls, theorists, and real experts who all predicted Obama’s victory state for state.
Ahhh Rih Baby gal!
You finally did it *claps hands*
Its time Black Artists slay White Artists
Congrats Rih Rih!!
*whistles*
a beautiful racist comment, IDIOT
To Rihanna’s Haters,,,
The dirty little secret about people working for her
and to those who want to try and undermind that system
can sit their lazy asses around and pass judgement all they want to because Rih is focus and she love what has happened thus far in her life and she is going to work just as hard from now on to try and keep getting it right. Right about now from her and her teams outlook the sky is still the limit, folks.
And peep the itunes chart. ALL HER SINGLES ARE CHARTING, WITH LOOOOOOVE SONG BEING AT 29. I love Future, that song is dope and s***. The way he says love, he cute. EVERY SONG ON THE LP IS ON THE ITUNES CHART. WHERE IS RIP BY RITA ORA?
I totally love love love this album, it’s crafted to perfection.
Got to love Sam though as I always still laugh at these Ri Ri posts, Sam i salute you as always 🙂 x
WELL still not getting on the bandwagon. All hype, little musicianship merit, terrible album. I don’t see HOW she deserves this. But congrats navy I guess.
She does have musicianship. Her song with Mikky Ekko proves that. Google what the word means. Cassie and Ciara are acts who have zero musicianship.
^ Ciara writes her hits, hun . and they have depth . Try again xo
“So Hard”
“Fit of Love”
etc . Check facts !
Ciara can actually perform her ass off despite her voice being weak. I never said anything about Cassie. She’s a non factor. Rihanna has absolutely no strengths. And she doesn’t have musicianship. Her live band do, her songwriters, producers. That’s it.
Ciara writes and produces her own music.
one less b**** to throw over board./
I knew I’d find you on a Rihanna post you hating ass b****. You love her, admit it!
@Rihanna Haters,,,
Rih says to you and those who think
like you think the bey hive and her haters….
I pay attention to what’s going on around me. I’m always looking for new energy, new talent, new voices. When you do that I think it’s easier to come up with fresh ideas. It’s not that my career has been based on surprising people, but it’s been about challenging myself to constantly do new things that are going to broaden my own mind and in the process, hopefully, connect with other people.”
The way she thinks about herself and the world around her she has already made it to that giant melting pot of
super stars and now that she has paid into the system she have got time now to plan her work and work her plans, just like she want
the navy acting like she has gone diamond <<<<
if ur a bey fan you have no business talking about diamond albums since none of bey’s albums have sold 10 mil in the us
And Beyince is American and meant to be so talented.
and nor has Rihanna @boopboop so what’s your point ?
Hardly anyone has sold 10 mil in the states in a while. Only one close to that is Adele but she’s overrated so that’s expected.
my point @FAF is that no, rihanna’s not diamond BUT NEITHER IS BEYONCE! the way the flea hive act you’d think she was doing taylor swift 1st wk numbers and had 2 back to back diamond albums like britney.
you acing like beyonce did 😉 catch the shade.
Beyonce’s sales, talent, etc are lightyears above rihanna’s. So your shade is weak. Try again.
RIHANNA IS OUTSELLING BEYFLOP!! HOW MANY NUMBER 1 S DOES BEYWANCE HAVE? 7! RIHANNA 12

@BEY HIVE THE TRUTH HURTS LIKE A “MOFO” DON’T
IT
LMAO TGJ is maaaaaad!!!
That Rihanna Reign Just Won’t Let Up!!!
we will wait until she 27 years old, with a little luck, she will be part of the 27 club.
Though not, it would be an insult to the talent of these artists
Stop deleting my comments s*** ass b**** sam!!! i suppose the strippers will be needing some new dancing songs for the strip joints. This album will fit the clubs great. I can just imagine cinnamon buns going up, and down on the poll while “Pour it up” is blasting out of the 50 inch speakers…
Hahahahaha not cinnamon buns!!!!!??? Girl you’re a mess and that’s why I love ya plus you speak nothing but the truth 😉
pole*
For artists such as Britney, Beyonce and Christina those sales would be considered as flop. Those numbers are pretty low for a big artist who has been out for so many years.
very true, but yet the navy are so excited that they can’t sit their flat hot potatoes ass down…really pathetic for an artist with her status
Christina sold 73k first week from her new album “lotus” and Bionic sold 110k first week so……..idk why you are including her.
Wow I didn’t know she ONLY sold 73k. Wow there is no interest in her what so ever. Should have promoted the album. She is doing Ciara numbers.
She was expected to sell 75-80k but she sold 73k…outsold by Lana Del Ray’s EP (8k), The weekend (a guy who absolutely had NO PROMO and was releasing FREE mix-tapes all year and released a new album with only 3 new songs on it) — 91k…..even “Here I am” and
“Fantasy Ride” sold more than 73k #shame
@MC
She has hit show so I don’t know why. Maby people don’t like her because she is fat now. Was she at least in the top ten or top five?
She is landing on #7….but still 73k? That is less than Kelly Rowland’s “Here I am” and Ciara’s “Fantasy Ride” debut sells!!!
I think she should change her image and try and sell music to adult contemporary listeners. The kids are not interested in her. How can you sell less than Kelly and Ciara. LOL
I don’t even know to be honest……a guy (The Weekend) who has been releasing free mixtapes all year released an album this week with only 3 NEW songs on it and he outsold Lotus with 91k…..No one knows this guy, like seriously…..I don’t even know him.
But rihanna is also up there in terms of popularity. She should not be exempt! Those are low numbers for someone of her caliber. Period. But she should be proud regardless if she indeed ends up snatching that number 1 spot. I like about 4 songs on that album and I’ve been playing them since i got them. Loud is still her best album and was more deserving but whateves….
If she is SO POPULAR she should be selling at least 350K. I think it is true when it was reported that artist buy bogus followers on twitter and facebook.
@MISSIMPARTIAL Might be but compared to ALL
THE OTHERS BESIDES BEY, BRIT AND XTINA WHO ELSE
WOULD YO ASS SAY DID GOOD LAST YEAR SALES WISE
SMART ASS, WHO OTHER THEN ADELE, ACCORDING TO OFFICIAL CHARTS, BILLBOARD, SOUNDSCAN, AND GLOBAL WORLD CHART YO ASS IS A LYING WONDER AND @OMG @OHBABY @HONEYCHILE PLEASE,,,,
RIHANNA SAYS “SHUT AND DRIVE” LMAO……….
MAN I TELL YOU THE BEY HIVE IS ON THEIR HATE ON RIHANNA CURSADE TRYING TO BASH THE NAVE GOOD, ROTF,,,,LMAO
AND JUST TO THINK THAT BEYONCE HAVE DROPPED 4 ALBUMS AND WITH HER REDROPS HAVE A TOTAL OF 9 ALBUMS ALREADY AND RIHANNA HAVE DROPPED 6 BEFORE THIS 7TH AND RIHANNA IS STILL BEHIND BEYONCE WITH ALBUM DROPS
http://acharts.us'performer/beyonce
OH WELLLLLLLL I SUPPOSE IT SO EASY TO BRING BRITNEUY, CHRISTINA ALL UP IN THE MIX TO SOME HOW TAKE SOME OF THAT SHINE OFF RIHANNA RIGHT ASS WIPES?
lol links to other artists though? hahahahahahahaha
DEAD. WOW u have a mental issue sam if ur life depends on a celebrity u dont know and u will die of a heart attack coz of someone you dont know. DEAD
@MISSIMPARTIAL
@Honey
@OHBABY
BEYONCE’S 4 ALBUMS HAS TURNED INTO 9 ALBUMS
http://acharts.us/performer/beyonce
Congrats to Rihanna, but I thought she would sell a litlle more… I mean the person with more likes on facebook and twitter followers?!
rIHANNA HAVE DROPPED 6 ALBUMS THAT IS COUNTED HERE AND SHES STILL DROPPED LESS ALBUMS THEN bEYONCE WITH THE EXCEPITIONAL OF HER 7TH ALBUM
http://acharts.us/performer/rihanna
Even after all of the 6 album Rihanna have dropped Beyonce has hid behind her Bey Hive saying Rihanna has dropped more which is true but Beyonce still have more ALBUM DROPS THEN RIHANNA AND BEY ONLY DROPPED 4 ALBUMS AND REMIXED, INITAMET, BLAH, BLAH AND STILL HAVE OUT JUST AS MANY ALBUMS AS RIHANNA HAVE OUT
im tryna to think of the BS samantha will spin when bey’s next album does BIONIC numbers 1st wk. he’ll prob say it was too much of a “masterpiece” or some ish like that for ppl to appreciate and of course mention rih’s name and how her “microwave’ music outsold flopyonce “deep meaningful” crap, lol!
Keep wishing and stay creased 😉 Lmao Bey doing R**** numbers? Forget Christina, those flop numbers are mainly associated with rihanna
I highly doubt she will sale that much and if she does congrats however that will not beat ACDC who just put their whole catalog on iTunes and the hype surrounding their new tour in 2013.
@D
oh child, lets not go there and talk about nicki’s sophomore slump ! …..and WW rihanna SLAY her but implants.
SLAYS*
Damn, QUEEN got u pressed, huh ?.
….meanwhile Lotus sold 70k, brandy sold 65k, Rita Ora sold 0k and I’m sure Kelly Rowland will sell about 25k(being generous). How’s your fave doing?!!!!
So instead of comparing her with the big sellers you compare her to struggling artists. What does that say about your fave?? She can only beat flops. I don’t think you are complimenting her.
@Missimpartial
It says she slaying half of the b****** in the industry and you will deal !
No it says she is slaying the flop half of the industry.
#1 album #1 song !?
imagine… oh what Loud should of done, Unapologetic is doing the irony!
I can’t believe you guys can’t see that this is fixed!. I would go into why it is fixed…. but I doubt half the readers on here would understand. Congrats to her and the navy anyway…. but I’m sure they’ve said on many occasions that they don’t care about number one albums, so i don’t see why you all are kicking up a stink now, when the album isn’t even number 1 yet.
Those numbers are nothing to be proud of when you are suppose to be a big time star. Beyonce numbers on a bad day are higher than her sad 260, but yet she has millions of fans on twitter, and f.b and they won’t even bother to support her druggie ass SMH..
in todays music, climate, for an act who is heavily attacked, on their 7th LP, this is GREAT. Let see if Adele can sell like this 7 years later – or even Taylor. She gets a lot of abuse and she has been around for a decade. This shows she is getting bigger, VS declining.
Only thing i’m hearing is excuses for those low numbers…honey child please 2x!!! Taylor swift been setting higher numbers than you can count for a very long time now, and adele just makes good music unlike your fav. When britney, christina, and even beyonce were at the height of their career they set numbers like that NEVER!!! rihanna just isn’t it anymore….well has she ever been with the exception of gggb??? i think people tend to hype her up just a little too much just because her singles sell….FLOP FLOP FLOP yeah her album is number one, but those numbers are not impressive my dear….
beyonce is about to have an even worse day with her sales when her 5th album comes out. 1st week sales will be lower than rih’s. i bet on it.
@boopboop you are pressed. We all know your closet stan ass will be shaking your behind to a beyonce track once it comes out. Let’s not act brand new! And she will do fine first week.
If Rihanna was to come in with 700k the haters will say def Jam bought it. Chill
She has never been a big first sale weeks artist, trust she will out shine the rest in the long run, as she usually does!
Lmao I was just about to type this! This h** is a flop! 7 years and this is all she has? Bwahahaha and these are predictions…. I know for a fact that these are false predictions lmao #bye flopanna u failed again even wit your attempt to reunite wit the ugly dude who fked ur face up smh.
lol YOU MAD??
This site sucks. ATRL.net is where the party is at!!!
she can still tank on the second week. mdna made it. she can too. be aware. 😀
this mosdef not gonna happen tho. not gonna feed you… sam. 😉
b**** please ….. don’t eat so much c** , it found it’s way to your brain and it is obvious the latter is not functioning properly 🙄
what? 😆
So even at her best, she still can’t beat B.
B’s lowest sales are 300k.
Rihanna’s best 260k. Rihanna’s roof is Beyonce’s carpet.
beyonce – 15 years experienced.
rihanna – only 7 years.
you forgot to mention that ?
Alzheimer ?! 😉
So Beyonce first solo album was number one and she didn’t have 15 years of experience. Katy and Kesha have number one albums.
15 years experienced and slaying your fave in every department. The biggest one? TALENT. Only tweens and idiots pay attention to singles.
yal need to stop, Rihanna is very talented too!
Y’all are celebrating over this?
Drake sold this first day with TC haha.
those numbers r fine. so what?!:D
Wow, @ Sam & tgj staff, I despite ya’ll for this and have very little respect for ya’ll for this. You all are so BIASED!!!!! After all the years ya’ll been bashing Rihanna for not having a # 1 album, ya’ll do this and say such mean things. How do ya’ll expect to grow, expand and bettering ya’self if ya’ll can even Congratulate Rihanna without hate & shades in between??? Ya’ll only lessing ya’ll blessings!! Ya’ll only asking for bad karma to happen to ya’ll favorites by downing Rihanna.
STFU p****!
This site sucks. ATRL.net is where the party is at!!!!
sucks so much that you were compelled to comment on it?
omg i love that site, i’m gonna start using it more often, this site is getting unprofessional.
Ok finally purchased my CD, My favs are Jump, Love Song, Pour it Up , Diamonds and Nobodies Business. Not sure why everyone disliked Jump , I absolutely love that song. I really like NB but I am also biased as a CB fan. This album is pretty solid. I think she did a great job
omg i love jump. “If you want, it let’s do it. Ride it, my pony, my saddle Is waitin’, come and, jump on it” love that line. this album is so damm good.
🙂 totally agreed,
do you know the original song?
Thatgrapejuice. Please stop hating on a young woman doing her thing. Please she is a black woman who has made a name for herself. TURN UP THE LOVE, TURN DOWN THE HATE.
BUY RED ON ITUNES
This site and person running it quite pathetic. what’s even worst is fact that is a urban blog run by a black person like rihanna yet you’re posting links to album that dosen’t relate to your site just to undermine Rihanna’s succes. Clearly defeating the purpose.
What has race got to do with it. Must every black person support Rihanna because she is black?
No they don’t but this is an urban site, so those album dosen’t have anything relating to readers. do you see rap up posting links to buy kid rock and ab/dc album? no catch my drift.
Well this is her best album to-date so it doesn’t surprise me. Unapologetic> Rated R > GGGB > LOUD > AGLM > TTT > MOTS
Buy your copy of Unapologetic on ITunes, Amazon and all major retailers.
Why are Rihanna fan bashing Beyonce in this post?
Beyonce has 4 #1 albums all selling over 300K. No sweat here Ma!
Rihanna fans love calling Beyonce “Ghetto”. The irony.
yes this is true….i don’t endorse no strippers(rih h**) *Nicki minaj voice*
look who’s referencing a f*****’ nicki minaj song ?
you. are. a. joke.
➡
^everyone references a nicki minaj song tho. And I see you know the song too. 😉
@ Prettygurrockd b****** yes that thang is a joke….
@K BEYONCE HAS 4 ALBUMS WITH
9 RELEASES
http://acharts.us/performer/beyonce
Rihanna has 6 albums and 8 releases
before they add album #7 to the list…
Look i’m black but you people have serious issues, if you think i’m going to support rih h** because she’s black too!! I don’t support untalented h*** no matter what race they are so f*** out of here with the exception s***! I would trash any b**** who think they are it when really they don’t have an inch of talent!
Oh Gosh 🙂
who care about your black ass tho ?
who asked your black ass to come to this post ?!
oh.
➡ + _/
That must be one of the seats left open from rihanna concert…bish you bugging if you thinking you saying anything. I mean you stand for the most low budget bish in chart history. Now take some shade under that alien forehead head b**** you stand for….rest h**
^Pop Royalty. You are an undercover racist and a fake. Acting like you a ride or die for rihanna but I saw your ass shading Rihanna plenty times on this site and even were on the monster’s side calling Rihanna “r******”. Ur a flipflopper and even rihanna don’t like you and blocked you from her twitter. The international Navy’s Representative my ass. BYE. And I agree. I support blacks cuz after I am of color too but I don’t have to like everyone’s damn music just cuz they are black!!! That’s silly.
your black ass need to STFU.
and I’m african you h**, i can not be racist.
B**** you’re from egypt. I will read you to filth. And if you’re black u sure do do a lot of hating on dark skin blacks.
Honey okay we get it, Hon.
Good first week sales and even better cause Rihanna has longlevity
She has a #1 and the haters still aint happy, mad b****** i tell ya, but i love that ya stay hating, 7 years later and she still has these ppl in a frenzy…That alone speaks volume!
B**** put out an album or two every year…she can’t take a break like beyonce than come back and slay!!! sit the f*** down..
and the haters comment! Whats ur point who is beyonce?
^you tried. Don’t act brand new bew.
I don’t know why people don’t RUSH out to buy Rih’s albums. They all tend to go platinum after a while (which is very rare these days). She has what….6 platinum albums in a row???
B**** put out an album or two every year…she can’t take a break like beyonce than come back and slay!!! If rihanna took a break, and came back lot’s of you would be like who is this h**? Stop trying to make is seem like rihanna is it because she’s really not. She isn’t capable of standing the test of time, if she can’t disappear than come back and slay…I would love to say that, but no it’s not going to happen because the b**** is forgettable….you bish
LOL “Who is this h**?” I think it will ring a bell after a while but it wont stir up commotion like beyonce coming back.
the thing is, no matter what rihanna starts out with 1st week, IN THE END, she always OUTSELLS most of the ppl who debuted with higher #”s on a WORLDWIDE scale. she’s always been a “long distance runner” in terms of her sales.
thats the truth!
240 first week loooooool still not on King Bey first week sale figure.
@ 1 am,,,,
it’s okay son just as long as Rih is in the Game, still.
who -more than her- has evoked the amount of “I know she can’t sing, sucks at dancing, but I just love her personality” flavoured comments?

@ FAF yes that’s exactly what i said…thanks for quoting me
@HONEYCHILDPLEASE
The only thing Beyonce is slaying right now is JAY Z ‘s d***. Read the article on Billboard, that says, Elvis Presley and many more did the same as rihanna. One album every year.
____________________ !
awww a post dedicated to me….B has time to do whatever her heart desires, unlike your forever dropping an album a year to stay relevant bish rihanna..question though…why wouldn’t she slay her husbands d*** though? i mean she is married unlike rihanna tossing the p**** around to any man who dears to give her 3 seconds of attention,…rest h**
She should slay his d*ck. It’s her husband. YAWN. The shade from the navy is so weak. All you talk about is singles this singles that. blah blah blah. Just keep stanning for ur so called “queen” and leave everyone else alone. Rihanna has bandwagon fans. THAT’S IT.
^ All they talk about is Jay z camel this camel that …. I don’t even like the n**** but doesn’t he OWN Rihanna ?
Navy should give it a rest !.. 🙂
@ prettigurlrockD
WELL EXACTLY BOO BOO, THANKS FOR CONFORMING, LIKE I SAID, THE ONLY THING SHE IS SLAYING IS JAY Z’S D*** HOW LOVELY ^_^
GET YOUR COPY OF UNAPOLOGETIC NOW !
@HOTSTUFF you are a dumb b**** just like your fav…..even with her husband d*** in her mouth she can still slay your fav with her vocals so b**** how about you do what your fav should have did a year ago instead of putting out a s***** ass stripper album, and rest h**!!!
how the F*** can you even think to compare Elvis to Rihanna? YOu f****** stupid? Twat! And Beyonce is lightyears ahead of Rihanna! She has outgrown her contemporaries and is now heading for legend status, so sit your keyboard warrior ass down and shut the f*** up
Keyboard warrior lml oh my dear now that was funny…
@ muzicreview
WHY SO AGRESSIVE YOU MUTT ? I KNOW, YOU’RE PORTRAYING THE DEFINITION OF A KEYBOARD WARRIOR :’). XOXOXO
Elvis wasn’t all that. But at least he was better than Riyawna. @Hotstuff that’s all you got?? B**** BYE. I guess you never been in love. You’d rather be in love with a chick that don’t know you or pay your bills.
She slaying his crotch and the stage, sales, she is the female chuck norris. Anything she touches is slayed. Have a seat. LMAO.
@muzicreview he is actually comparing a man famous from the 1950’s that probably had more musician credibility to a modern day pop s***. OH LAWWD.
RIHANNA DID LIKE ELVIS BACK IN THE DAY, LAMES
WHAT RIHANNA HAS DONE RIGHT NOW AND LIKE ELVIS RIHANNA HAVE GOT 5 NUMBER ONE’S FOR FIVE 5 CONSECUTIVE YEARS LIKE ELVISDID BACK IN THE DAY, HOWEVER RIHANNA HAS GOT 6 NUMBER 1’S IN THE UK WITH HER “DIAMONDS”..IDIOTS…
This stupid Jamaican b**** is such a fail

hell naw you didn’t. Yall making me weak. XD.
Rihanna is such a Fail and yet You follow her ass like a dog on a bone, oh the Irony!
ORLANDO JONES FACED SOLOANGE KNOWLES WILLNNEVER HAVE A NUMBER 1 ANYTHING B****!!!
@SOLANGE YES AND SHE LEFT YO ASS IN THE DUST
RIGHT ALONG WITH YOU STRIPPER , BOOTY SHAKING LYING ASS BIG SISTER, LITTLE BYTCH!
Also not everybody needs to love a getto weaved up h** shaking her fat ass up and down on a stage, while pretending to sing when she damn well know its a pre-record track that is playing, and faking pregnancy for a HOT 100 top 70 on Billboard.
Screamyonce, who yells on every track, and thinks shes actually hitting a note, can keep on sucking Jay Z’s c*** and keep on bringing out irrelevant rnb for her flop fans. The b**** don’t even care about you FLOPFANS . She tweeted 4 times, one is to go on her site ( yes you b****** keep on paying her 20 000 $ lace wigs ), and the others to use the HumanItarian thing to promote her flop single I WAS ( A FLOP) THERE. BEYONCE is already seated cause she is irrevelant, RNB is dead. NOw the pressed stans need to follow her bleached skin and have several seats on jay z’s c*** also.
How many comments are you going to write about BEYONCE on Rihanna’s post. Obsessed much?
If its not Beyonce, it’s Nicki …
@K
BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY BEFLOPCÉ FANS HATING ON QUEEN RIH SUCCESS, THEY ARE MAD THAT RIHANNA OUTSELLS HER WW. SIT OR GET YOUR COPY OF UNAPOLOGETIC NOW !

Beyonce can suck Jay z d*** into the ultimate euphoria or better yet until is ball sack becomes dryer than the Sahara dessert that’s her husband. Why do you care?
@ShutUpAndEnjoyTheMusic
IKR ^_^, THANKS FOR LISTING ALL THE DETAILS OF WHAT SHE CAN DO WITH HIS D***, TOO BAD THERE’S NO CHART CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR SUCH ACTS. SO THIS WONT HELP HER OUT HER EPIC IRRELEVANCY:/
GET YOUR COPY OF UNAPOLOGETIC NOW ! XOXO
^YES LMAO.
I already have it B**** *flips bangs* you didn’t answer my question though dear why do you care? Is it because nobody would DARE let that thing that is your mouth near their c***? Beyonce isn’t worried about “currently” she is too busy planning for her ultimate come back of pure SLAYAGE in the year that is 2013. I know some of the navy can’t count but that is next year dear KIIIIIII
@Shut Up And Enjoy,,, did I read preparing for her come back,
come back for where and what,,,Beyonce isn’t going to slay jack s*** but the Pus Juices She will sling at the Super Bowl
and she had better pray that don’t none of her band members are back up dancers slips and hurt themselves from her Snatch Juice she’s going to sling,,,Everywhere…
She’s gonna be broke after buying 240,000 copies of her album! It just confuses me how someone like Christina Aguilera who has an incredible voice only sold 75,000 copies of Lotus in er opening week, and Rihanna is selling 240! Who the hell is buying this s***? I wouldn’t even illegally download it! I have no time for Rihanna anymore! All she cares about is the money, getting drunk and d*** riding whoever will have her!
Voice and the way you pop yo Pus as
a artist don’t always equal to sells ask
Beyonce’s and the Bey Hive.
@MUZICREVIEW
B**** IT’S NOTHING NEW, MADONNA DID BACK THEN SHE SLAYED EVERY OTHER H** ON THE POP SCENE. IT ALL ABOUT HAVING A HIT SONG THAT IS CATCHY AND SOMETIMES INNOVATIVE . NOT SOMONE YELLING, DRAGGING EVERY WORD, WHO DOES A THOUSAND RUNS ETC.
@HITSTUFF,,,,School the, broke ass lames!!!!
Who CARES if she isn’t the BEST singer?! Spice Girls wasn’t, TLC weren’t either but they had all the right ingredients to be given credit where credit is due, I don’t personally think Rihanna is that bad of a singer, I love her accent and it works.
Yes, there are better singers out there like Beyonce but there are also better than Bey that have never had Beyonce’s success.
Congrats Rihanna and every other woman out there achieving their dreams!
none of the boy bands could sing.
she’s still pitchy and that can be annoying live.
Rihanna isn’t any more pitches then the next artist,
what counts is sales, sales, sales and if shes’ so pichy,
and can’t sing I wonder how in the F** did She sell all
of those Digital sales, dumb ass bytches,,,
Congrats not going to be hater like some. It toke Pink albums to get her first number 1 album so give rihanna a break. But idk why I feel their was so much promo with her last 2records than this record. congrats rih and Navy be cute though the final numbers aren’t out yet.
@Hotstuff – So think everyone hating on rihanna is a Beyonce stan?
@ K
if u pay attention i only answer the beyonce flopfans WHY ? cause theyre the only present haters. Denying Rihanna Robyn Fenty’s success from her hard work ethic.
@K,,,,
HOTSTUFF,,, Knows that many who hates on Rihanna
is Beyonces Bey Hive and it don’t matter do it ,,,and another thing who in the F** gave you the right to try and “Hold Court”
with a General from the Navy Any way.?
@K,,,
You had better ask somebody, a hater comes from many
different places and the Navy can sum up many of Rihanna’s haters as Bey Hive Generals because they do”t make no beef about it ,, they just go full steam ahead with hating on everything RIHANNA.
@K,,,
If you don’t think the Bey Hive more then any other Fan Club are the One’s who haters on Rihanna’s Career the most Heeeey go to Beyonce’s post and post the same Fukin Comment, Bytch!!!!
Where did people get that good commercial sales means a good album.Some of the best albums in years in music have not sold alot of units.People don’t understand that quality is what matters not quantity i mean it is nice to have commercial success like Rihanna but if you really think her music does not have any impact on the music industry and her music does not set the bar for anyone in music and she will not inspire the next generations of greats as Whitney,Mariah,Micheal,Janet,Aretha did for current artist. Congratulations to her for her first #1 but GGGB,Rated R or Loud deserve it more.I hated Unapologetic,it is is one of her worst albums.And the Navy needs to stop calling the Bey-Hive delusional cause the Navy just as much as the Hive is delusional(blind leading the blind) and Beyonce lowest debut slaes(4) is still more than Rihanna’s highest debut and on top of that 4 went platinum months before THT did so you seriuosly need to drop that rusty argument.
THat was a wonderful read my dear…
Thank You!

RIHANNA HAS sooooo Beyonce’s Albums doing better then Beyonce , tell you what Let All of us know what in the F** are you Smoking because Son “That Dog Want Hunt” nope sure will not,,,,,
They are even more delusional. Yes bey fans can go over the top but they have a reason to. Bey is talented. Rihanna is…not that much.

AND the Navy is Delusional. Fair enough

7yrs and ya hating h*** still aint gave up yet, lol…
Rihanna is the Next Madonna beyonce is who? Michael? oh ok!
I’m not a Rihanna hater at all. I actually liker her and support her. But if she couldn’t get a number one album after Chris beat the accent out of her ass and gave her another forehead, what makes you think she will get one now? Especially when Diamonds was okay and NOT great . I think that album a year s*** be messing her up cause we don’t get a chance to miss her. Her cycle is :album, tour, tattoo, drink, smoke. At least Beyonce knows when to take off the lacefront and have several for a little while.
@THE HOUSE,,,,Rih don’t have to ever get
a number One
and she is still cooking with Gas, Deery!
Rihanna has been blessed to make it to the top tens and RIHANNA has gone Number One world wide with “Talk” and RIHANNA IS MAKING HISTORY, IN THE UK With her albums going Numner One,,,,
Since Rih have had THREE (3) Albums go number One that IN THE UK and making History with that Feature and the only one behind Madonna,,,HEY HATERS DO THAT EVEN COUNT?????LMAO

@OMG,,,,The most low budget bytche
Who has Broken Records, made History
Ruling the charts , like being the Queen
of the Pop charts for the last twenty years,,,
I don’t get it. Did you see her sing on SNL? She has a beautiful voice. Is it the strongest or loudest out there? No, but not every singer needs to belt to sound solid.
Did anyone watch Christina Aguilera on the AMAs? She sounded horrible the entire time. No excuse to hold people to different standards just because at one time they were talented. Lauryn Hill is one of the greatest ever and she can’t hold a note to save her life now.
Also, if you don’t think Rihanna can dance, you need to watch her dance the What’s My Name choreography. She is on point and s*** as hell, not all dancing is popping, locking, kicking, quick step. She has rhythm, s** appeal, personality, and a great voice.
Give credit where credit is due.
EXACTLY !! SO TRUE.

@OMG Rihanna a forehead alien as you calls her says,,,
if yo ass hated the Cruseliner,,,then Jump and swim ashore and kiss her ass ,
She can’t dance. Period.
I wouldn’t say all of that! Rihanna can do a little something when it comes to dancing because of her Caribbean roots. Somebody who can’t dance is Mariah Carey or Katy Perry.
In other words while their fav is getting worse Rihanna is getting better.
@prettigurl, OMG, Haters even after the Slanderous Name Calling, After saying that Rihanna Have a Alien Head, and
after Being as mad as ever Rihanna was still able tom Do these things,,,,,
Rihanna Low Budget,,,,
Like Selling over twenty Million in the UK,,,
Like selling the O2 Arena Full 10 times
Like making it to the #3 spot of riches under 30
Like having the nerves and the get up to do a Mini
tour of 777 7 countries in 7 days with over 150 Media and
around 250 peoples traveling including Fans on that “777 Tour”
Like getting paid over 5Million to flip a switch in the UK
TURNING THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ON
Yeah Rihanna, make us proud baby! That’s how we do! xoxoxoxo

For such an irrelevant b**** beyonce sure is brought up on almost EVERY post that has nothing to do with her. If this is irrelevancy some of your faves should find out how to get where she is ! The arguments between the stan bases are as played out as most of your mothers p******. It’s always the same dumb ass comments the same irrational logic it’s like a never ending cycle of spam. *Sighs* I suggest you b****** deal with the fact that both of these chicks slay lives,careers and homes. END. I don’t even understand why the Hive gets mad when people talk about the King. We know the deal and we know what 2013 entails for all the s*** talkers so why not just let them step into their own s***? Same with the navy…Let your FAVE success speak for itself.
@SHUT UP,,,,,Speaking of the same old Rehashed comments , look in yo nearest mirrow and Repeat after
Me ,,,,,Some one in the Blogosphere “LAX” Says that the Bey Hive and Rihanna haters are always trying to beat Rihanna wheels off for Being a Working Artist instead of a Welfare
Case from the Projects.
@SHUT UP,,,,,Also say to yourself, why do the Bey Hive try to Knock each and everything RIHANNA does good or Bad.
Also say to your self, Self why didn’t I post this same bull shyt comment on the Beyonce thread since there’s so many of the Bey Hive who uses Rihanna name and tries to beat Rihanna’s Wheels off all up and down the Beyonce Threads.
@SHUT UP AND ENJOY,,,keep looking in yo mirrow,,,
Say to yourself,,, Self this Blogger Screen Name “LAX”
POSED a Question Why is a blogger screen name right up over me stated that A BLOGGER FROM THE BEY HIVE
@OMG,,Saying to another Navy Officer that Rihanna Is a Low Budget Bytche in Chart History,,,
Why do Rihanna have to be a “LOW BUDGET BYTCH”
@SHUTUPANDENJOYTHEMUSIC,,,When in Fact
Rihanna and CHARTS, Goes together like kid skin gloves that fits like a second skin…
I love thatgrapejuice
But you’re SO UNFAIR with Rihanna, it’s disgusting.
Yessss the Grape is and the way I and
many Others see it, it is a great form
of Free Promos, for Rihanna because Rih have Popped the LID OFF SHYT A LONG TIME AGO. aND THE NEGATIVE VIBES WILL COME AND GO. BUT WHAT IS FOR RIHANNA SHE WILL STILL GET IT AND THE DEVIL IN HELL CAN’T KEEP HER AWAY FROM HER OWN BLESSING’S.
Congratulations Rihanna or would a big well done to the merging companies pushing along their own agendas be more in order? I believe the latter better suits this circumstance. Ladies and gentlemen what we have here is fraud, which is the direct result of propaganda and motivated strategy. Rihanna’s Unapologetic album is not benefiting from a #1 smash hit single that would propel her to bring in her career best sales at this current juncture. Only Girl, What’s My Name and We Found Love were all #1 songs that preceded the releases of her albums, Loud and Talk That Talk . Rihanna has also been on world tours prior to an album dropping and have always been within a 200K, and normally slightly lower, range. Let me remind you that Rated R pulled in 181K. Loud pulled in 207K. TTT managed to pull in 198K. Yet, we are now made to believe that without the push of a huge first single that Rihanna could somehow muster up sales near 260K. This is not feasible. So what may be behind this? Are we being bamboozled and deceived? The answer to that is absolutely! This is why we have the labels merging and few sources tabulating these statistics properly. Control with out opposition or alternatives will easily make way for mishandled data which will only ensue favoritism in a bias and controlled systematic world. This is why Sam Goody, HMV, Virgin Megastores, Tower Records and many other music purchasing chains could not exist in today’s market. It’s all about eliminating sources and having one main one. Tie that into the persuasion that comes from the media and you have a scheme that goes hand in hand. The puppets are overexposed and the more talented “independent” artists are ignored or even worse, degraded. That’s why some can’t even win for losing even though their walking a tight rope, while others can get away with murder; however, the talent in those two groups are lopsided. We’re force feed these generic songs by so many lacking the “X” factor. These particular artists that rely on the hype of twitter followers and non music related factors would have never seen the same success within the last 5 decades. Don’t be simple minded and don’t be easily fooled. These numbers are assigned before the albums are even available for downloading. Think about it, why doesn’t Facebook and Twitter followers equate to sales? Have you ever seen artists approaching 10 million views on Youtube and then suddenly their decreased to 5 million. Pay attention this method is used to polarize and measure artists. Some have totals that are boosted, while others are cheated out of their proper count. It’s still not error-proof, because artists like Sade for example defy everything this is meant to suggest. Rihanna is just fortunate to have the backing of those that authorize this. Mark my words: She should enjoy this now before taking on more than she can chew. I don’t know what Rihanna’s built for, but if we see her in 3 or 4 years getting the reverse treatment it shouldn’t come to anyone’s surprise. It’s not easy being a puppet.
I agree with your entire comment. Twitter followers and Facebook likes and even Vevo views can be–and have been–bought to give the IMPRESSION that a particular artist is more popular/in demand with the general public than they really are. I believe record labels boost their artists first week sales by buying albums, and in turn putting their artists deeper in debt to the label because they have to make up for the $$$ the label spent keeping up the smoke and mirrors hype. I wish there were a way to see what the REAL first week sales numbers are for some of these artists, because I feel some folks numbers are hugely inflated for the public. And of course payola and paying radio stations to play the same handful of songs over and over, and signing acts they feel would be competition to their star roster and making sure their music never sees the light of day because they don’t want their stars to have any REAL competition in the industry. I could go on forever but I’ll stop.
Okay? That still doesn’t hinder the fact that she has so many number 1s. Just because she’s successful doesn’t mesan she’s a puppet. Get over it already and just chill.

Put your thinking caps on and think about it, as long as the world has been in existance’s there has been pimps, w**** and s****, right? Now if you had your rathers wouldn’t you much rather be a millionaire s*** or w**** than to be a Hood Rat W**** or s***, you feel me. Rihanna is the best of the best and even if she did fit any of the cazillion of bad, nasety names she was called shes still the best of the best. So many of you Pimps, whores and s**** don’t seem to be doing so good After Hoeing all of these years you or still in the same f,,,,,g rut that you started out in. Rihanna has gone from Barbados to the United Stakes and shes a House Hold name now “Rihanna” Is heard all around the world. And even when she has been out of the Country for weeks and months her name still stays on your hood & Project lips. You could say that Rih is the one who got away. Many or so mad and salty because of her Success, because she has of late been named right up there at the top with the Biggest in the Entertainment Industry. And thank goodness the Jokers did not have to be the ones who or singing her praises as of yet its the Very Higher Ups, who i really Count the most. All eyes or on her and they or really paying a lot of Attention to Rihanna as of late, because her star power is shinning so Bright for all to see from Sea To Shinning Sea, Just how mad or you about that you Jockers? Yep just as i figured you or really mad, mad about Rihannas success and how she keeps her auduiencs Entertained to the Max. Shes always in the News all over the World Big Time. While Entertaining in Europe shes also raising sand in the United States too. Even some of the most Heavy Hitters In the entertainment industry or taking notice. And you know shes doing great when many keeps cursing her out on the Internet trying to Hurt her Feelings,hahahahahaaaaaa So funny. Jumping in and out of Traffic to take a punch at Rihanna the cream of the Crop in the Entertainment Industry. A Bright star who’s bright shine is Captivating to say the least. And now that shes so Huge they or trying everything their little Small Brains can think of to try and Stop her from shinning so Bright that bright shine has screwed up many of their brain waves because of all of the cob webs in their heads. Many of their heads or blocked by cob webs and , trash left from so many years of Whoring and being a S*** in that Hood Rat Project. Rihanna might not ever be the best in the game, but she is surely all up in the game. Rihanna may not ever be the best paid or make the biggest paycheck but that’s okay shes still in the game. Rihanna may be called s***, w****, can’t sing or perform great, but shes still Headlining her own Tour at 23 Years Old, traveling the World with some of the biggest Billionaire Company’s Sponsoring her Tour Ever. Back in the day when Janet was Paid 80Million by a record label i saw where Richard Branson stated that Janet bought R Island where her lives and to this day Janet has been doing her own thing even though her brothers were performers also and MJ is the King of Pop and that never stopped Janet from Loving him and her brothers all My point i am making is that Rihanna did not have a Platform she had people who gave her a chance and she has taken the Wheel and shes the Driving Force behind her rise to Stardom and theres not a dam thing you chicken heads can do about it but talk a whole lot of shyt about Rih,,, end of story, true life and the rise of even Bigger and Better Things for Rihanna to Add to her Bag of ACCOMPLISHMENTS & ACCOLADES, WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT, HOOD RATS & INTERNET BULLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEST F****** COMMENT ALL NIIGHT^^^^^ LMAO LMAO LMAO
lol
Good luck, Rihanna. It’s gonna be your first #1 album in the US and 4th on the WW albums chart, and sure will take you to the 30 million CD albums mark.
And ‘Unapologetic’ will bring R&B and Hip-Hop back, I think.
@CRIMSONKIDD
Yes I love ATRL too, it’s great. But currently I’m BANNED for doing a thread about Bey and Rihanna bleaching their skin.
Did I lie? 😥
This site is full of hate, Sam…. Lol he mad as shyt….
That seems a little high for Rihanna. Def overestimating IMO. Im predicting 230k
chile who is you making predictions and s***? lol
Finally #1 and all it took was an Off again/On Again Getting back with Chris (and cooing/fooling half of Team Breezy/Chrianna Fans) and that Super Pimp PR train… You Go Girl… Now everyone can shut up about her never having a #1. I am cracking up…
prettigurlrockD bitchess is a HATING ASS B**** who stalks EVERY SINGLE Rihanna post. Get a life you basic broad and stop worry about Rih! That Rihanna reign just won’t let up!! You undercover Navi member!!!
Ri fans need to call an ambulance cus Sam is about to blackout.
That’s what you get for making a hateful mockery out of Rihanna all of this time.
SO now the haters are saying her first week sales are not good enough, It’s #1 so why should it matter? Like I have been saying since day 1. Rihanna doesn’t need a #1 album in the US because the haters will crawl from their sewers to shade something that Rihanna has accomplished. 260k is not that great but it is not that bad either. If Rihanna was to not debut at #1 I bet she will still outsell all who has made it to #1.Like she did with GGGB, Rated R, Loud, and TTT. She has outsold the first week winners WW. The haters are pressed! Next they will say her first week sales are low!! If Rihanna was to outsell Elvis WW what would they say next?
@ZZZZG They are pressed, bitter and as mad as ever
because Rihanna have Pulled the dang Lid of their
Dearly Beloved’s” and we all know who those chicks are, Cough*…
It’s ok but how dare she ruin Ginuwine’s ”PONY”?????
Todd it’s good because Guinwine
has already Ok’d It, Son.
Wow! This site got some serious shades!!! Congrats to Rih for her soon to be first biggest week in her career and a #1 LP. Rihanna reign just won’t let up!
Mika its shade and Hate!
Congrats Rihanna! You deserve it!
This site is a natural born hater.. and like most haters, must choke on the success of those they hate on. CHEERS TO MORE BITTER POSTS LIKE THIS ONE
PS: Trying to market keyshia cole’s album on this page is not gonna help lmao TRUST AND BELIEVE ME
@BOO Sooooo true.
I AGREE with Sam´s whole post
It only took 7 years of constant push and money from her label. Never an artist who didn´t make it that big at the beginning of her career like others do was so promoted for years. I still fail to understand it
@JOHNVIDAL Agree all you want and just so you’d
know Celine has never approved of the kind of hate
you Low Life Ass gives Rihanna on a Daily and I am
Certain that a Iconic Legend such as Celine See you
as the Ass Hole You are.
When you should be helping to promote love to Rihanna
and others Who’s young and getting off to a start, Yo ass
promotes straight XXXXRATED HATE,,,,
I don’t understand why everyone is saying she buys her twitter followers, Youtube views,and Facebook friends. If it was that easy everybody would be on her level. I guess Rihanna’s success is so unreal the haters will find anything to shade. This post says it all.Grape is posting links of other albums instead of Rihanna’s Unapologetic. Even Keyshia Cole’s Flop to Flop.
Great first week numbers. Personal drama + master marketing plan + sloppy album = #1
shame on her
Auntie it’s her life and only she can live it.
hum who cares
@BIG U DO
a #1 album is a #1 album. but cuz it’s rih some ppl wanna downplay her success. but rita oraflop can sell only 37k and get a #1 and samantha act like that’s some great feat. other acts have been #1 with lower #s than rih but since they “NOT RIHANNA” it’s ok for them to not have 1 mil in sales 1st wk.
even if rih did sell 1 mil the haters would find a way to make it seem like she shoulda sold 2 or 3 mil. nothing she do is ever good enough cuz they hate seeing her succeed.
Exactly they come up with the most dumbest and the most unnecessary shade. For example, Diamonds is # 1 because she bought her radio play.LMAO
@BOOPBOOP TRUE AND THEY
COMBS THE WOODS LOOKING FOR
NEGATIVITY THEY CAN POST ON RIH!
@ZZZG TRUE…
Please let the Navy celebrate.
They’ve been waiting on this for so long!
While y’all listen to this computer generated stuff from her, I’ll be listening to real music, like Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald, Vanessa Williams Etta James.
Music that stands the test of time, that didn’t get #1s, but are real queens.
suck it, Sam. suck it good.
No matter how you spin it, this b**** album is boring, predictable, same content, different album!! Trut and believe that this s*** will soon it course!!! Glad s*** music is slowly dying!!!
yall like to talk about beyonce but has that b**** even sold 3 million yet with 4????? talk that talk sold a over a million in the states and still managed to sell over 3 million ww so whose the flop????
But beyonce went platinum in a couple months and it took rih a year with hit singles while bey with no hit singles. So, who flopped? Rih.
Rihanna’s “Talk” sold a Million WW Faster
then any of her other albums and hane out
paced and out sold beyonce’s 4 But Yall
know this already, look at the Official Chatrs
Company of the biggest selling albums for
2011 Bytches.
She done errrrthing possible for that #1 spot, she might as well get it.
She have not done no more then any other,
whos selling Music, deery. And besides that so
Fhukin What?
OKay. Go RIH.
I’m a Rihanna Fan! But this album is horrible!!! Sorry!
RIHANNA’S NAVY lOVE ALL OF THE SLANDEROUS NAMES
WE HAVE GOTTEN USED TO THEM ALL BY NOW,,,,LOL.
Rihanna the artist who get’s sooooooo much hate…
Named the Most Liked Celebrity on Facebook in 2011
Sure every celebrity has a huge band of follows thanks to the overwhelming amount of social media sites these days, but Rihanna continues to be a standout among all the rest. As of now, the singer has 51,711,204 fans on Facebook, over three million more than Lady Gaga (48,128,783), and over eleven million more than the likes of Justin Bieber (40,507,655). But it is not only Rihanna’s Facebook page which garnered such extreme popularity on the site. Her “We Found Love” single featuring Calvin Harris was the most listened to song of 2011, beating singles from other singing sensations, including Katy Perry and Adele. A huge accomplishment to say the least.
Rihanna the artist who get sooooooo much hate
Ranked As One of Forbes Magazine’s Top-Earning Women in Music in 2011
Though Gaga ranked the No. 1 spot on the list, grossing a whopping $90 million in profits, Rihanna managed to rake in a highly respectable $29 million for the year, earning her a well-deserved fifth place. She beat out the likes of Britney Spears ($10 million), Carrie Underwood ($20 million), and even Adele ($18 million), who received major praise last year for her hit album, 21. Adele may be Rolling in the Deep, but as of last year Rihanna was certainly rolling in the dough.
Rihanna the artist who get soooooooo much hate
Third Most Googled Celebrity Woman of 2011
Thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites we are able to stalk our favorite celebrities as fast and as often as we like. So who’s getting more cpms (clicks per minute)? Good old Google always has the answer and according to its results, Rihanna was ranked the third most Googled celebrity woman of last year. This is a praise certainly worth mentioning given that people resort to Google to search for basically everything, so the fact that Rihanna is one of the hottest topics among female celebs is definitely a commendable accomplishment. And again, it needs to be stressed that she’s only 24 years old! Is anyone else feeling extremely lazy right about now?
Named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive in 2011
Though her artistic accomplishments are impressive in and of themselves, Rihanna has also been praised for her looks as well as her talents. In October 2011, Esquire declared the singer the Sexiest Woman Alive for 2011, singling her out amid a number of other candidates. Sure you could see it as just one magazine’s opinion, but it’s definitely an honor any female celeb would be happy to receive. In a business where beautiful people are never in short supply, it’s definitely an accomplishment to be able to stand out among the rest and be acknowledged.
Helped Guest Judge on The X Factor
As most of the world already knows, Simon Cowell demands to work with the best and the brightest of talent. So when he decided to have Rihanna help judge which contestants should be eliminated at the Judges’ Homes, you know it means he trusts in her artistic opinion. Can you believe that? At the age of 24 she’s already earned professional praise from one of the most critical people in the music business. The fact that Simon’s deemed her talented enough to help find new talent proves that she really has “made it” in the industry. And given everything we’ve learned about her, she’s only just beginning
