9 days may separate Rihanna‘s new album ‘Unapologetic‘ from her fan base ‘The Navy‘, but that hasn’t stopped them from supporting the release on a digital front.
Find out how why the singer may be on her way to scoring her first US #1 album below…
Less than a week after being made available to pre-order, the LP has already the iTunes Top Ten- currently sitting pretty at #7 while its lead single ‘Diamonds’ resides at #3.
Set to rise with the singer’s forthcoming appearance on NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live’, the project- if current sales are anything to go by- is likely to score a Top 5 on the Billboard 200 upon its official release and, if outselling releases by Nicki Minaj, Keyshia Cole, will see her land her first US #1 album.
However, with ACDC‘s ‘Live At River Plate’ set to drop on the 2oth, the ‘No Love Allowed‘ singer has serious competition on her hands.
For, with their last LP ‘Black Ice‘ debuting with sales of 784,00o in its first week, it seems more than likely it is they and not Rihanna, who will dominate the chart come November 28th.
So, let us know…
AS LONG AS SHE DEBUTS WIT HIGH FIRST WEEK NUMBERS IM SATISFIED…..CUZ ALOT OF PEOPLE COMING OUT THAT WEEK……
Where are y’all seeing this ? I’m on the album chart and Jason aldean is #7
Rihanna doesn’t have a #1 US album because she can’t, it’s just cause she always releases her albums with stiff competition. other artists who are big 1st week sellers!! I already said that she’ll do good this time around cause the snippets were sick and I pre-ordered two albums right away. 1 for me and 1 for my sis.
Her last album I bought was GGGB. I know when I hear good music and the stuff on her album is some good s*** mane!
Who’s gonna outsell Azealia album? NOT Nicki, NOT Rihanna, NOT Keyshia, not ACDC these h*** should just give up now and surrender the queen is here.
“vamp me up, turn her down”-Azealia Banks
Chile boo…..
I. Just. Can’t.
Azealia wont even outsell Kreayshawn. Unless she disses someone on Twitter before the album drops to generate attention cause no one is checking for her.
Come OWN for Queen Mermaid Azealia “CuntRealness” Banks..Q.B please let Q.A.B grace your album presence in the bear future….Anyway call 712-945-2310 to hear me the Queen P.P.P( COME TO THE LIVE ROOMS THO’)
I can tell Sam is really nervous. lol Chill Sam, chill.
Poor Rhi Rhi. I wonder if she’ll take a break once she gets that #1, if ever.
tHAT BABY WANT A #1 SO BAD THAT NOT HAVING A NUMBER 1 HURT HER LABELS FEELINGS
Well these days its easy to get a #1 album.. no one is “supposedly” bigger than rihanna so she is gonna get a #1 album I guarantee that.. now the second week sales idk. but if she cant pull off a #1 album it is gonna be ridiculous.. ppl have got #1 albums with less promotion than her. she is Facebook #1 artist and twitter #1 so come on navy prove u guys are not cheap and buy the album
How is it easy to get a #1 album ?……
Do u know how many ppl flop every week ?
Now if Rihanna don’t get that #1 with alot of Chris fans buying, then I don’t know what to say.
If its so easy… Why hasn’t she had one yet? That speaks TONES
I like Rihanna, but she is not gonna get that #1 album with the Barbz around! Unlike the Navy, we put our money where our mouth is.
Neyo should have worn red lipstick if he wanted to sell taylor swift numbers.
“I’m not saying she’s a s*** but she’s been under more sheets than the KKK”
“she doesn’t say “C***-a-doodle-do”, she says “Any c***’ll do!”
This will be another million album seller for Rihanna here in the US. I think she’ll have LOUD debut numbers. I hope she releases Jump as a single. I’m so proud of Rih for having a top 10 on Itunes with a preorder. That’s epic. I hope Diamonds hits #1. She deserves it.
YES MAM!! RIHANNA AINT NEVER LETTING GO HER CROWN OR HER THRONE!!!
GIRL IF QUEEN” DIVA #1 EGO KILLA ” BADDIE BEYONCE HASN’T EVEN PRETENDED TO GET OFF HER THRONE? WHY THE F*** WOULD U ATTEMPT TO ONE-HIT WONDER RIHANNA THERE? #IN-B-WORDS “IMPHRESHOFFTHERUNWAY………..ANYWAY CALL 712-945-2310 AND C** TO THE LIVE RMS SO WE CAN ARGUE H**
LOTS OF FLOP ALBUMS, AS A B STAN, HAVE WENT TOP OF THE ITUNES CHART AND STILL HAVEN’T GOT REALLY BIG NUMBERS ON THE BB..F*** R U SAYING?… ANYWAY CALL 712-945-2310, AND COME TO THE LIVE ROOMS
Awwww. Is Sam feeling a bit concerned, and threatened by Rihanna possibly receiving her first US #1 album? You have mocked, and teased Rihanna a great deal about not having a US BB #1 album and might have to wipe those eggs off of your face.
Lets see how Sam will handle the news, should Rihanna hit #1.
GIRL ….HER FIRST???? LOL 4REAL 4REAL
it seems as though no 1 is the fan of good music, only the artist.
Riri is sorry s f***, but she was still sale simply because people like her.
she can’t sing she cant dance and she can’t perform.
why do people support talentless artist is total ludicrous.
there are so many artist that have talent, but yet the talentless still seems to out sale.
the customers and consumers these days are totally retarded!!
Know THAT!
The “talented artists” usually don’t have good material, or have the “machine” behind them. I won’t knock Rihanna’s hustle. She’s THE definition of a studio singer (and a good live vocal, here and there….), but she has IT! People love her look, her style, her attitude and most of all…her music.
Unfortunately, being a good vocalist won’t sell records. Never has, never will.
GIRL AIN’T NOBODY SUPPORTING BECAUSE THEY ONLY KNOW THE SINGLES??? “WHERE HER MONEY AT”????
Beyonce….will you please put this b**** into obscurity….oops, too late
Nobody said anything about Bey.The hivs are always bringing up her name like 4 did something.

I predict 160k-180k first week sales.
@THE REAL ,,,WE WILL TAKE WHAT EVER WE GET.
I KNOW…SMH WHILST LOL
I believe Kid Rock will be out that week too. I think Rihanna will do 190K – 205K.
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
WHAT? BUT A BSTAN IS BUYING THE ALBUM SO THAT SURELY MAKES UP 100K
She doesn’t NEED to debut at number one
The Queen is a CONSISTENT seller & her albums always go on to do millions ANYWAYS
AMEN LACEFRONE,,,, YOU HAVE NEVER LIED!
RIH’S EFFORTS WILL SPROUT LEGS AND RUN ALL OVER ,,,UP AND DOWN THEM CHARTS, LFRONCE AND IT’S GOT THAT ‘HIVE” RUNNING SCARRED!
HAHAHAHA BUT NO ONE REMEMBERS….AWWWWWWWWW
she’s gonna do snl tonight that will put diamonds to number 2 on itunes with high airplay
I see Diamonds and the new album going number 1 in the same week.
@NICK THANKS I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT…
DAMN BOO U EVEN 4GOT
Can’t wait for the album, this will be a good month for me, Lotus and Unapologetic. So happy.
@Beyonce’s Weave,,,Me too,,,,
I really do hate this generation of teens. They are the only ones buying this stale s*** we call music.
I AM NOT A T***, SMILES TO MYSELF!
@ Lax of course we already know know your like 12! (smiles to self)
Half of Me,We found Love,Love Without Tragedy, Fire Bomb,CKB,Man Down, Unfaithful, Fire Bomb. You call this stale Music? Rihanna has pop sings with meaning and not just all about having fun.Just because Rihanna is a pop artist doesn’t mean she’s mediocre .Rihanna continues to reinvent herself by taking risk, not giving a crap. Something that I haven’t seen since Madonna.
NOT AN ATTEMPT OF “RESENTMENT” GIRL LOL BOOM OUT MY MUTHAFUCKING WAY
I’m not a t*** either, but I appreciate good music and I have to admit Rihanna is churning out them hits. Well at least until Bey comes back! In the meantime we looking to get Nicki another #1. All hail the hive and the Barbz.
No different than teens from the 90s buying bubble gum pop from Britney, Jessica, Xtina, NSYNC, and BSB. Or teens from the 80s who brought from Tiffany and Debbie Gibson. Atleast todays artist write their own material, are involved creatively, and sing live
TRUE DAT THOUGH
I hope rihanna gets her first number 1 album in the US because I mean she is considered one of the biggest stars so its kind of strange that hasn’t happened yet .. I kno she does pretty well in other parts of the world but u would think the place where she identifies with (besides barbados) and signed her deal would give her the most support! Its not just that other people come out around that time and block her (yes that plays a small role) but if u look at her sales in her first weeks they’re never that good .. I mean bey can easily pull 300K first week with a s***** non hit first single and according to the navy rihanna has replaced her clearly but not wen it comes to numbers …. Why the hell isn’t rihanna doing at least 400K with ALL the hits she has under her belt…. There’s deff other things at play here .. Well good luck to her but I bet its gna be 1. ACDC 2. Nicki (and I can’t stand her) and 3. Rihanna .. Although I’ve heard snippets from unapologetic and it actually maybe the first album I purchase of hers since rated r
Good talent Rihanna
HAHAHAHA IS WHAT WE ARE ALL SAYING
This is so silly. Rihanna is one of the biggest stars in the world and it’s not because of her albums. It’s because of her singles and full package. #1 album or not, this will still be true.
I’m interested in what the album will sell and what it will go on to sell. The AC/DC album is a live album, so I can image it won’t debut to 780,000 units. We’ll see when the projections come out, but I think she’ll get 230,000 and the album won’t sell as much as the others over time.
@Auntie While you are so right, and I often time
think that Rih’s Singles have out paced many artist album
sales in real time.
Tell em!!
IT WON’T SELL MUCH WITHOUT THE KINGHIVE SUPPORT..KNOWDATSHIT
Don’ t Coldplay have an album coming out the same day?
Chris said he was Diamond lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4ZpOVqfjzew
@JAMES Thanks that is very enlightening
and both of them has grown up so much,
they are at a good place they can talk about it.
They can both move on Thank You Jesus,,,,,,
Aslong as she sells more then 180k I’m good I could careless about her reaching number 1, just cause your album reaches number 1 doesn’t mean it will be a successful selling album,
Btw I can’t believe Brandys album is already out the the top 20 its at number 29 her fans are a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
well, 7 attempts attempts for a no.1 album, and such a big artist this should be no problem
FLOP! FLOP! FLOP FLOPIANNA! I bet she wont even cross 200k and her C****, think shes a queen lmao. Yea…Queen of Screwing everything around. Her time is almost up and the music business will have one less untalented s***.
DIGGER KEEP THAT THOUGHT HANG’ON TO
RIHANNA FLOPPING WITH HOLDING YOUR BREATH
FOR RIH EFFORTS TO FLOP, DEERY!
Which black female do you see on the BB hot 100 top 10? Rihanna Fenty.She is turning into pop queen/Madonna. 37 million records and 146 digital tracks sold WW.People are checking for Rihanna and her success is only getting better.
Stop trying to make a Rihanna #1 album happen… It’s never going to happen.
Yes, it will.
AWWWWWW
People on here act like having a number 1 album is such a must in the industry… Chris brown & Trey Songz had number 1 albums this year with numbers less then 140k Rihanna has outsold them both in first week sales so chart position clearly is irrelevant its about how much you sale, For example Brandys album hit number 3 with 67k and Rihanna last album sold 190k and hit number 3 outselling brandy by major numbers n plus Rihanna comes out with an album when a lot of other people do to she goes up against real competition let brandy release her album the same week as Rihanna Nicki Keyshia n the others she’d probably debut at number 10 or lower
Oh dear, i guess you have no concept of music. The two artists you are talking about are from two different genres to it’s silly comparing the two. Rihanna is a popular artist and Brandy is an R&B artist, Rihanna gets instant air play and Brandys has to be put on a playlist and requested,so the numbers will never be the same.
Anyway, i dont see the point of the trying to make them compete. Ho with a soundtrack maybe the winner in your eyes but i see different things with mine. Brandy released an album i love and Ho with a soundtrack will release one that you like so no-one loses.
Its not that important but for being the biggest international pop star out who has released several albums she needs to have one
Kelly Rowland will b releasin the Ice video on nov 14th… U know that song she released 9months ago… hahahaha
B**** KR IS QBKC SISTER, A PERMANENT MEMBER OF THE ALMIGHTY DC…B**** DON’T DO HER
Umm b**** lets leave Brandy out of this. Brandy was hot when was about real talent, nowadays it’s about being naked and singing shity songs.
RiRi will never be able to sing like brandy.
Brandy’s 211 is a real R&B album. people say they want real R&B, but when it’s finally here people don’t go support it.
the music industry is driving by young teens, it just so happens that the young teens these days don’t know any better.
brandy has already put her mark on the music industry.
Whitney Houston nor Mariah Carey, will ever give rianna the praise that they gave brandy.
so let’s leave brandy out of this.
Okaay b**** but I’m talking bout album sells n chart position, IDC about what brandy used to do okaay WTF is she doing now not a damn thing your whole comment is irrelevant BYE!
Also, Whitney (RIp) and Mariah may never sell the albums that Ho with a soundtrack does now, but they have reputations as vocalists and the same with Brandy, Also, Brandy has had success and has made 6 quality albums in a longer time than Ho has, Ho is know n for her behaviour, tattoos, clothes, hairstyles and songs, but not so much singing.
And they said the same thing about Madonna but look at her now.She is the best selling female of all time,also legendary for being herself.Rihanna doesn’t try to hide anything she doesn’t give a crap and you can’t handle it.
Music industry has always been driven by teens and young adults.
GIRL MC WILL NEVER GIVE BRANDY THE PRAISE THEY GIVE QBGKC
Lol it’s flopping hard on UK itune chart
#5 Diamonds
#9 Unapologetic
How is that a flop you c***?
Let me show you how much of a flop Rihanna is.This woman came out with another album, just right after TTT without taking a break and her albums are still selling.Rihanna didn’t need to take a break.2 massive smashes WFL being the first single and WHYB released at the last min still smashing. Unapologetic is top 10 in over 32 countries and it hasn’t even been a week. I don’t have to remind you of Diamonds slaying your fav without a music video.
@blue Unapologetic is top 10 on the Uk charts. Didn’t you say Diamonds was flopping?? SMH you’re pressed
BIT…WTFUCK IS AN ITUNES CHART WAIT TILL BB UPDATES
two good songs on the album is pour it up N diamonds thATS ALL
She always have 1 good song in the album this1 can’t have two
She has more than 2 good song idiot.
“love without tragedy” is a #1 banger in the making, “Numb” is good plus it has Eminem so you know it’s hot, “Get it over with” is hot, If she releases “half of me” it will go straight to the top, “what now” sounds like a smash.Just to name a few. Unapologetic does not have only 2 good songs,you just don’t like Rihanna.
BUT I REALLY LIKE PHRESH AND LOVEEEE
ABDC is releasing a live album, poor Sam his nightmare is coming true.
ABDC? B****, please! Did you mean AC/DC? LOL. You’re so ignorant.
N**** it doesen’t matter the’re irelivant and not going number one with some austalian live album.
WHAT? AC/DC irrelevant? LOL. They’re f****** legends, b****. Their last album sold over 8kk and their lost tour grossed over $400kk million.
The BeyHive is making Voodoo but That Rihanna reign just won’t let up.
LOL B**** WE CAN YOU KILLED RIGHT-AT-THIS-MOMENT
i don’t what hurts more ? to say your next album will be your “greatest” and sell ONLY 3 millions ww while debuting at #1 with your lowest first-week sales of your career OR to have a non-#1-in US WHILE SELLING 6 MILLIONS WW and get nominated for grammy’s like “ALBUM OF THE YEAR” for example ?
while the first , Which debuted at #1 Had none of that ?!! NONNNNE.
will it matter if yours debuted at #1 in such case ? no. what only matters is the WW sales , the actual sales , NOT Shipments ….
Didn’t Talk That Flop struggle to sell 3 million, it failed to get #1 and it didn’t get any Grammy? Are you drunk, b****??? DEAD @ you bringing out Loud when TTT was released like a year ago. LOL. It only had We Found Drugs and a bunch of other flop singles. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL.
TTT was released to late to be nominated for the 2012 grammies stupid, she is not a h** like Bey and won’t buy them.
The sad case of Beyonce, as i always say, the important thing are the ww sales.
WHAT? Did you forget that all Beyoncé’s album (bar 4) sold over 6 million in WW? What are you saying? Only R******’s GGGB and Loud sold over 6 million. Her others album sold around 3 million or less; in other words, they sold as much as 4, but at least 4 was #1 for 2 weeks and its first-week sales was better than any of R******’s albums. MAJOR LOL.
World wide is my hairy ass. R****** has mediocre sales everywhere. Stop with the b*******! Don’t act like R****** is international when 2/3 of her sales come from USA and UK.
What kind of cheap international superstar she is when her album struggler to sell 3 million in the entire world? F****** 3 million. While Lady Gaga, Taylor and Adele can push this number in a few months? LOL. You’re delusional.
Co-sign. WW sales> shipments and local sales
lol at bey stan bringing up history. What about now? what happened? if TTT was struggling, what was 4 doing? No top ten single is a straight flop plus her album barley can making it pass 3 million being released a year ago
4 is a flop and so is TTT. I have never said 4 was successful.
BUT SHE SAT THERE LIKE A CHICKEN WAITNG TO HATCH..WHILE BEYONCE WILL GET A GRAMMY FOR LOVE ON TOP THO
I think Sam is shaking in his boots! lol!
I personally hope that Rihanna get this #1 album so people can shut the hell up about it. Most importantly, I hope she gets it b/c I truly believe this may be her best album since “Rated R.” Regardless, we already know it will have chart legs and sell millions WW, so….
& Brandy Norwood’s BRILLIANT “Two Eleven” has nothing to do with Rihanna. Why is she even being brought up here? Shouldn’t you be talking about Ke$ha, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift in relationship to Rihanna? One has NOTHING to do with the other one.
If all of Rihanna’s albums were # 1 the haters still wouldn’t shut up.They are pressed and too bitter. They hate the facthat Rihanna is able to sell millions of records WW.Not just Beyoncé and Niki Mina selling millions WW.Rihanna is selling records.37 million records sold WW. She is doing what the haters said she couldn’t do.During 2005 haters called her broke and and a one hit wonder.Now that she is still selling millionsno pushed back albums,has 11 # 1 singles they want to call her flop.
SO S***** 4YALL TO HAVE TO RELY ON WORLDWIDE SALES…WHEN WE GET IT CRACKIN IN THE UNITED STATES..LOL…ANYWAY CAL 712-945-2310 AND C** TO THE LIVE ROOMS (GET IT CRACKIN)
BUT I LOVE YALL THO’ HAHAHAHAHAHA GOODBYE DUMMIES..BHIVE…WE IN THIS B****
F*** A GHETTO F** HIVE!! LMAO AT BEYFLOP CALLING HERSELF BADDIE BEY!! AFTER BAD GAL RI!! COPPY CAT FAKE ASS BEYFLOP!!
So Rihanna was the first girl to call herself bad right?
I think Rihanna has a Big advantage tho because even tho she’s up against competition, like ol dude said above rihanna is a popular artist. I like keyshia cole but she’s an R&B artist so she probably wont even come close to Rihanna’s sells and I like Nicki too but I will be surprised if she sells (a lot) because I really never heard of Re-releases selling that Big but she might still have an advantage anyways due to it being (8) songs which is lot compared to other peoples re-releases done in the past. But I think Rihanna got it this time and I’ll 4sho give her, her props when it happens because she done came a long way @ such a young age and she deserves it! Im not a #NAVY nor do I want to be but Go Rih Rih!!!
She ain’t getting it ! I mean AC/DC boo! She doesn’t get a chance .
