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…

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.
