After the technological company Samsung purchased an undisclosed amount of Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI’ album, the set was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Unfortunately, fans of the Grammy winning performer have been unable to truly celebrate this news, as they battle critics who now accuse the star of “cheating the chart system” in a bid to compete with some of Pop’s more commercially potent stars.
The one fact said fans could celebrate in peace was news the set had sold 400,000 units on Jay Z’s Tidal streaming service….until now.
For, ‘Forbes’ magazine has revealed that it has good reason to believe that that figure was fabricated by the company.
Full story below…
The service, launched in March 2015, has struggled to find serious footing in the streaming realm even after launching exclusive videos and material from the likes of Coldplay, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj and the ‘Work’ star.
Now, after almost a year of battling industry critics who predicted it would sink , the company now clams its problems were solved overnight when 400,000 music lovers picked up ‘ANTI‘ from it.
Sound too good to be true?
The publication shares:
That 400,000 figure should be taken with a grain of salt. If the numbers are correct, it means that ANTI is already the biggest success of the singer’s storied career, and that’s a bit tough to believe.
To put that 400,000 figure into perspective, it’s worth noting that Rihanna’s largest debut sales week to date was with her last album,Unapologetic. That record became her first to start at number one (and her only number one yet), and it sold just under 250,000 copies in its first week. That campaign was going strong at the time of the album’s release thanks to the massively-popular lead single “Diamonds”, which was another number one hit for her.
So, without a single (lead cut “Work” was released less than a day before the album appeared online) and little to no warning, is it really possible that the record is approaching half a million in sales in just two days? If so, that puts ANTI on track to have a massive first week, dwarfed only in recent memory by Adele or Taylor Swift.
If she did the same thing Wu Tang did, then I don’t know how to respect her for that but atleast she made us hear her FIRST ever urban album imo. It’s dope stuff!
Yaaasss Rhi is winning honey!! Yew mad?
KIIII YYAAASSSSS EVERYONE IS DRAGGING THIS
FLOP ASS HOOEEE I CANNOT!!!

“don’t you find the pricing to be a little too Lady Gaga Born This way(ish). I seriously can’t get over how you could sell 14 songs and 17 videos for 15.99”
LOL, there is a point there. I think she should have just sold the album without the stripper show video reel included, but that’s just me.
Unapologetic has got a 20 min video and it sold for $15.99, maybe it’s Roc Nation pricing, who knows.

I gagged when i read this earlier today….NOTICE HOW THEY KETP SAYING ‘ACCORDING TO TIDAL’……Like we don’t claim that lie..LMAO
Yeah Forbes is still not buying it. If you’ll cheat once, you’ll cheat twice. This h** is a liar, so you can’t take trust anything she she yields now. I do want to say, that I think it was so sweet of Samsung to purchase a platinum plaque for her. Sometimes we just aren’t good enough to earn them under the same circumstances. That was nice of them.
Screaming and now they’re desperately trying to play victim and pretend the Hive Monster’s Barbs etc etc are seething! Naw huntea! We Are just giving the Seamen Swallowers what they had coming! A dragging/scalping well deserved only this dragging and scalping is on some next level shiiit! KIIII!!! ?????

I thought that a lot of users on this site didn’t have a life but you clearly showed that you don’t have sh*t going on in yours. I mean how lifeless are you that you went to go find a comment from 2 years ago and saved it and waited for your opportunity to use it. Lmaooooo you have been praying for Rihanna to fail. Hehehehe that’s pitiful. The real kiki is you girl get a day job
Dont shoot the messager! You can’t blame Rihannas cheating and conniving ways on me.
What you should be asking yourself is why Rihanna had to cheat to compete. She’s hit an all time low #RihFraud
ANTi had the messiest roll out in recent music history and even after its finally released it continues to be a messy and confusing era. She should just finish the tour and end this era it’s becoming embarrassing for her and her fans
To think her fans waited for 4 YEARS for an average album…..LOL
She would have been better off releasing Anti as a mixtape kiii

Lmfao, Clock Their Cocky Hypocritical Ass!!!
Mouhahahahahaaaaaa!!!
SANTÉ In My French Accent!?
No the f*** you didn’t say Rated R ! That album was total s***!
Nothing new was stated here. We know BB won’t count the Tidal and Samsung numbers, as they shouldn’t. But Samsung had their million albums give away (I was one of them, from the Antidiary) and Tidal had theirs to promote their services. The platinum plaque is from Samsung, not Tidal. And it’s available for iTunes, so BB will count those numbers. She will do 200k and more because iTunes is a whole different store and those users don’t have a Samsung Galaxy Device and most don’t have Tidal, hint Apple Music.
.
It’s not rocket science, Riaa tracks sales, so does soundscan and Billboard. Forbes is a net worth site, so they don’t have the credentials. If you see anything other than what I just typed, then you ran out of excuses and now making up lies in your delusional head. Love, peace and hair grease.
I don’t trust her nor her team. They be lying about her stats. After all they’re the same ones who claimed that she sold 54M albums WW when we all know the girl can’t even hit 300k first week. Now Tidal is claiming she sold 400K first 2 days on Tidal ALONE. Lmaoo. I’m not impressed by this cheating ass chick.
Lol at you guys feeding into hype. Riaa certified. Who cares what Forbes thinks? Or what’s speculation? I don’t trust bey. She’s been buying her albums for years.
🙂 look at the pest. This been the best week ever. When you own your masters, you can do whatever. Ask Jay-Z and Prince. Sorry your fave is a s**** of Sony. Hahahahaha
Hahaha Honey you’re the only one who stays having egg on your face on a daily. Now shut it the fuxk down before i clock you “tea” again. Ill drag hog tie and pry your mouth open with tongs to pour this Hot Boiling Tea doused in Honey down your throat.
This is embarrassing Im getting second hand embarrassement KIIIIIIIKIIII
Mind you, it’s selling on iTunes and then next week physical copies are shipped. It’s just the beginning. Can you say double platinum? Rihanna put her foot all the way in the pest’s @ss. Hahahaha, meanwhile Nicki is still waiting for her triple platinum plaque from those streaming numbers she miscalculated. And another year ARTPOP is not platinum.
.
#8YearsAgo #WhatWillBS6Do #WhereOsBS6?
But you’re saying they don’t have anything but they didn’t cheat to get it so that’s actually looking worse ?
How can a flopping streaming site with barely 1M SUBS generate 400k in 2 days in sales from an artist like Rihanna who has NEVER sold 300k in a WEEK with both physical and digital let alone only digitally.
Stooping this low won’t EVER get you respect from fellow entertainers. The pressure and struggle to keep up with the REAL sellers is real here.
And her team is willing to go to this length just to conceal the fact that the likes of Beyonce and Taylor are doing better than her. This is a matter of EGO. Why to you think she didn’t include AO, 45s and BBHMM on her album? Because they all failed everyone’s expectations. Buzz single? With music ‘ videos and heavy promotion? I don’t think so.
The sales from tidal weren’t exclusive to subscribers. Tidal subscribers don’t buy the albums they stream and download them for a monthly fee. Anyone with or without a subscription can buy the album from tidal. Just because Rihanna hasn’t had a big first week like this before doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Before beyonces last album, she never had a first week higher 500+K. It sold as much as it did because it was exclusive to iTunes and it didn’t leak. Same situation here. There was tremendous anticipation for this album. Anyway we’ll see when iTunes releases the first week numbers and so far it hasn’t budged from the #1 spot. It looks like only the flea hive are as salty as beach water cause Rihanna’s impact is monumental and because only the people aged 30+ Are buying and checking for Beyoncé. Smh
Lies! B’Day sold 541k first week sales and than self titled did 617k in 3 days. I highly doubt an artist’s who’s biggest 1st week sales is less than 200k would sell 400k in 2 days especially after her 1 million usual purchasers downloaded the album for free lmao! Its also really fishy considering self-titled went #1 in over 100 countries yet Rihanna last i knew was just above 40 countries. Hmmmm it all just doesnt add up. Especially when Tidal has a little of 1 million subscribers and Apple Music has way more.
Right! Unapologetic leaked. Still became platinum and was her first number 1 album. Anti leaked and was already pirated before it was officially released and it still was in high demand and is still ontoo of iTunes. The hive are just looking for loopholes and cringing at the fact her demand over exceeded their exoectations. Anyways she got that riaa certification. That’s all that matters. Now just wait for the official iTunes/google play sweep up!
Exactly everyone is gonna slander her iim and out industry
Exactly everyone is gonna slander her in and out the industry
“Can you say double platinum?”
Ummm, b**** can you say even double platinum??? No, you can’t because your FIVE HEADED friend hasn’t seen a multiplatinum plaque since Good Girl Gone Bad
She will this year. We’re still waiting on a #1 hit from BEYhindCe tho.
With take sales yah*
With fake sales yah*
B**** you should be waiting on a #1 hit from Rihanna. Its been 4 years since her angus bucket forehead has seen one.
Ummm, can you stop using trolling under multiple names? http://imgur.com/a/uveXB
Who cares if it’s been 4 years.She has 13#1s and sitting with legends. fatyonce??
Sitting with legends YET she needed a sponsor to help boost those weak inconsistent album sales!
You are delusional ..buhahaha ..please riri is great in love her but delusional navy riri knows she ain’t no legend Shes a cute that though
Yes sitting with legends.She has 6 platinum albums she doesn’t need anyone.The album would’ve made it to platinum regardless.
Marketer can you die already?
I’m blushing. ?
Did you see that fruity bottom exposing itself in the ANTI-available-on-iTunes post?
This is worse than Gaga’s 99 cents b.s.
ANTi is #1 on iTunes in France. The French are buying the album. You can stop crying.
Yawn @Markiesha and her delusional ways…. The Queen will go Multiplatinum again from the power of her Majestys name alone. She won’t need a company to purchase 1 million albums of hers and than tie a Two Month Streaming Service plan to the back of the album. The Queen will sell with her integrity and respect of the Music World fully intacted. Same can’t be said for deperatANNA!
The Sony s**** has no choice. Queens own their masters. Hi Janet and Rihanna. Even Aaliyah and her family owned the masters of the music. Lol #BEYsic
Yawn you’re still desperately trying to use Bey as a S**** to Sony “Tea”. Gurrrl bye with that evaporated tea, not when countless music sites atm are reviewing one of your favs albums and are calling it a desperate attempt to brake free from the s**** brand she is notorious for. She stays lending her vocals to Writers and producer’s. She is still struggling to find her direction. She has no direction. She basically copied The Queen with a unannounced release date. She copied Jay with the Samsung Deal. She copied Miley with the free album and weird sound to help with her music transition from mainstream pop. Hoeanna is the epitome of a s**** to the Music Industry. Beyonce has always had direction and a voice in how her music and image is perceived by the masses. She has been very vocal since before her solo career about this and not one Music Excutive or member of her team have disagreed with her. Bye Bitxh try again!
Research before you type that bull but anyway I am going to save this for forbes list 2016.
The Navi loves the album, she got her check, we got a free album, Samsung gets marketing for their upcoming phones and Tidal got some traffic. We win, you and the haters are mad, so I get a great laugh. Hahahahaha facts > pest opinions
The no-life-having-āss-høe-hive are calling Rihanna a label s****? Beybøla is the definition of a label s****. Beybøla was loud, shady and kinda likeable when she in DC. Now she nothing more than a medicated trained lab rat who does everything she’s told to do. She was already star in DC, but her ignorant stupid ass didn’t even think of getting a Masters of Ownership. #DumbBitch
_________________
Record labels seldomly allow an artist to put out an album every year. When you think about it, It’s not very profitable. Rihanna was no medicated label s**** unlike Beybola. The fact that Def Jam allowed Rihanna to release an album every year was a testament to the creative freedom she has. Stop your buIIshit you idiotic rat c**** stupid bÌtch
@Centipied YYYYAAAAWWWWNNNNN Nobody believes those self taught lies besides you and Seamen Swallowers! ????

Lmfaoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmfaooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Success is so amazing!!!!! Lmfaoooo
My God people, this is not impossible….NOTHING is impossible!!! The reasons Rihanna is in hot water is because of her sells history.
Hot mess
Pressed cūnts… I see pressed cūnts everywhere. Your opinions are irrelevant. They feelings are worthless. You wanted Rihanna to fail so badly and now you’re píssed off. What’s done is done. ANTI is platinum. Now suck on that you pressed c****.
*You’re feeling…
Thank you, they haven’t even gave the album a try, its actually a solid piece of work, damn smfh!
I’m loving it. Their feelings are hurt because they went a full year saying it was going to flop. Rihanna told us she was making moves out side of music and wanted the perfect album. She did just that.
Where’s BS6? How the table turned. Lol
Anti is nothing more than a GIMMICK, a fabrication, and an attempt for money.
She doesn’t care about making “timeless” music. Once again, she sold out for sales. Its finally coming back to bite her in the ass.
THE WHOLE ALBUM SALES ARE A JOKE AND LIES!!!!!! IT’S JUST A MARKETING SCHEME THAT HAS GONE WRONG… THE B**** IS A FLOP AND THAT IS THAT!!! SHE’S TRYNA COVER UP THE FLOP ALBUM PERIOD POINT BLANK .. EVERYONE SEES IT … EVEN THE NAVY ALTHOUGH THEY WON’T ADMIT IT!!! IN THE WORDS OF AALIYAH ‘DUST YASELF OFF AND TRY AGAIN’ END OF DISCUSSION!
Why is Tyler/SCHEISSETHRONED ignoring me? ?? http://imgur.com/a/uveXB
Why is this site so pressed? Your queen Bey has been De-thrown and her record will be broken when Rih, Tidal, and Samsung prove their case and those numbers come. Deal with it!
EXACTLY!!! we all know the free downloads aren’t going to be counted in the final numbers so what will tidal get out of lying about it? Billboard knows how to factor in streams to count for contributions to the 200 and this time will be no different. I’m sure every streaming service and digital store has to show receipts when they report sales figures to billboard every week and this won’t be an exception. Unfortunately the haters can’t be anything but mad, Rihanna came to slay. iTunes will shortly be releasing predictions… You can seethe THEN.
Thank you, the fact that people really think Jay-Z, a respected business man, and Samsung, a billion dollar respected company will put their credibility on the line for a Rihanna album is absurd! She’s winning and that f****** album is amazing and doesn’t sound anything like I thought it would!
I hate when people cheat!! Thankfully Billboard and sound scan isn’t counting the million that Samsung bought.
@OMG LOGIC, b****, get I’m my reply section right now. I’m tired of you section 8 h*** running off at the mouth. I got some of your tea to spill, since you like being so damn messy on twitter.

I love her but as a fan,even I can see that there is something shady about this era especially on the album sales,but who cares,i have an album and um enjoying it and thats all that matters to me ………….
I have a question for you King Mark and Centurion,, Do you guys REALLY BELIEVE SHE SOLD 400K ON TIDAL ONLY IN THOSE 2 DAYS??
Beybôla’s album is done. Columbia Records has her on mandatory leave until the Adele era is over. Kiii https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CZc-JrSXEAA5PgP.jpg
Yahoo!!!!??? The Sun!!???
Come on man,you are better than that.Anyway what are your favourate songs on Anti?
It’s tea and tea is tea.
_______________
My favorite songs on ANTi are Kiss It Better, Same Ol Mistake, Close To You, and Needed Me, hell every song
The album as a whole is sort of boring, confusing, and messy. The only song I really f*** with off of it is Kiss It Better.
So when she was singing cotton-candy pop lyrics in songs about Umbrellas in 07, rude boys in 09, whips and chains in 10, and finding love in 11, she was just being “real” by following the musical trends of the day. . . and now that the dance-pop she’s built her fame on is declining in popularity, she just so happens to suddenly be stripping down her image and her sound? Please. Rihanna is just as plastic and manufactured as any other pop diva. She’s just a pretty product – not the brains behind her calculated pop stardom at all. Now, she’s resorted to CHEATING
YAAAASSSS clock and conquer!!! Pop that bubble of fabricated lies and contradictions the Navy have put themselves in!
Go sleep jeez you’re in everyone’s reply section like wtf

They didn’t lie, also dead at Billboard not counting those free copies either
Whew tomorrow will be the biggest mess in history, even bigger than ARTPOP’s HDD. Especially since the physical won’t be out until Feb. 5th.
only tidal knows what she truly sold so if they are claiming 400k actual sales then thats what they are claiming, forbes can make all the articles they want it wont change that and come next week and tidal can prove those sales then hopefully sam will post about that.
Also where is the Florence stan that used to come here (Andrew)? I need to talk to him about
A Night
Bombay Bicycle Club’s hiatus 🙁
Bloc Party’s trash ass album
I got a proposition
If anti fails to sell 200K first week can LB, Mark and Centurion stop commenting on this blog
I SECOND THAT MOTION
I cackle at the thought of this doing BADLANDS numbers
Anything lower than 200K SPS is a joke. No reason whatsoever for her to be selling less than Panic! at the Disco
she already sold 1mil in 2 days so i guess they are staying
ANTI is platinum boo so they staying. I wouldnt want them to go. LB Mark and Centurion are MESSY AS F*** and they drag beyoncé to HELL and back. kiiiiiiii
congratz on going platinum Rihanna. ANTI is FIIIIIIIRRRRREEEEE

Hours after the gym, they’re still on here upset. Were any of you pest one of the million that dl the album? And it was leacked, so people didn’t have to go the Samsung and Tidal rout. Lol
Anti will be nominated for Album of the Year in 2017. It’s WAY to early, but I’m sure she’ll win it with this body of work. That will be the final dirt thrown on the pest grave. Until then, I’m enjoying this assassination. ?
I spy with my little glass eye (gotta pay homage to your fav Aaliyah) a big fat lie! Not when Adele and Queen Bey are coming! This album is getting mediocre reviews. The Queen will go for her 3rd critically acclaimed album in a row ha! Maybe even her second Universal Acclaim like SELF TITLED!

To be fair I haven’t heard 25. But I don’t see her winning because I heard it wasn’t that much different from 21. But I’m sure she’ll get a nominee as well. Still way to early to tell, but I’m calling now.
its stupid claims like this that make me sometimes wish some of you werent part of the navy. And then when the album isnt nominated? What do you say then?
Then it didn’t get nominated. No biggie. Still the best album I heard in a while and a masterpiece for Rihanna discography.
@Markiesha liesss show me the receipts that Mariah is not over 200 million certified in sales! She sold over 100 million albums in a decade alone. Also Beyonce is not pressed by Hoeanna. She has accomplished far more with less than Hoeanna ever could. Bey has 152 million records sold as a solo artists with just 5 albums. Hoeanna stood at 192 million with 7 albums and 3 singles released from her Anti Era. Beyonce has more Accolades, more critical acclaim, more albums sold, bigger tours, better reviews of her shows and voice. All Hoeanna has on Bey is Singles. We gone see where the queen stands in record sales with 7 album sales soon.
then why make this ridiculous claims based off nothing? Why not just enjoy the music and hope for the best and use facts. Like with this 1.4mil story. She got certified platinum, that is a fact. Is the other 400k legit or is it just propaganda? One way or another we will know next week… No need to make up other stories or share fantasies.
I therefore question her 200 milli recods sold
.
coconut girl was 85 mil on Loud and suddenly she at 200, where they do that at?
.
billboard, soundscan, rolling stone and riaa doesn’t have her in any of their biggest selling artist list
Singles are the reason why not albums you should know by now that she can’t sell an album to save her soul
211 now. You’re trolling. She sold over 100 million singles in the US alone. Now add the albums in the US, now add the singles and albums WW. This is the digital age, everything is documented. Nice try though. ?
show me the receipts Marikos
rihanna is at 100mil records sold in the usa alone. U dont even need to know what ‘+’ means to do the math.
Rihanna has sold 162 million singles amd 29 million albums. That 230 million records is record label pushed. Much like Mariah selling 230 million certified records her label has pushed she sold 200 million albums + the 70+ million singles. Bringing her total to 280 million records. If The Navi want to claim Rihanna’s record label pushed #’s than claim Mariah’s. Rihanna aint passed her like y’all claim KIII!!!
Mariah is not 200 certified. Doesn’t matter, both are millions above Beyonce. BTW, the digital age stated in 2004. So why isn’t Beyonce anywhere in the top 10?
Releasing 7 albums in 8 years already paid off. Meanwhile Beyonce is still a label s****. Lol
Look at Mariah the Legend/Centurions last comment ROFL! Dude is seriously going to break his keyboard punching at the computer all mad. He doesn’t even know me and dude is just boiling over about go into cardiac arrest over a dragging he could have walked away from LOL. And he probably thinks he is winning as his blood pressure continues to go up kiiii
neither is beyonce. billboard named rihanna the Digital Songs Artist of the 2000s decade and the top Hot 100 artist of the 2010s decade. Bye African scarecrow.

IKR! The title of Rihanna’s first single is “work” but it should be called “unemployment”. Because it’s a f****** FLOP
right?
.
I tried to preview the album on Google Play Music
.
spending 10 seconds per song
.
I previewed 7 songs and called it a quits
.
I saw people saying she brought the vocals
.
but nah
.
she sounded a mess. strained. tired. sleepy. uniterested. unispired. worse vocals of all het albums
.
I cant and won’t
.
and that Work is worse than RTW (girls) , also Bey served good vocals in that song
Okay so if you haven’t listened to Anti youve missed nothing, because that is exactly what the album is. Bland, drab tracks with a few features and an inoffensive closing track from three years ago…..
seems your opinion is in the minority cause people love this album
this is not rocket science
.
even if anti Is #1 on iTunes, other albums have both digital and physical copies
.
she aint going #1 , and the worst thing against lessers
.
😀 😀 🙂
thanks for the excuses
Some of you are slow. Tidal is offering everyone free subscriptions for 60 days. On top of that you don’t even have to subscribe to buy the album. You can buy music without subscribing. Now if billboard States she did 300k or more, people gonna say she had Apple buy those as well. Lol. I bought it on tidal and it is her best album in my opinion. Follow me on instagram @its_b_roni
If billboard states that she sold whatever, why shouldn’t people question it? After you cheat once, you lose alll credibility; or have you never encountered a liar? Cheaters always cheat and liars always lie. They teach you that in “How to not get fvcked over” 101.
The STREAMS from Tidal count. Not the sales. But why was everything cool when Jay Z did it, but when Rihanna does it, it’s a different story????? Since it got streamed over 14 million times, those count for A LOT….. So I guess we’ll see
they don’t count
.
they’re free streams
.
no one got billed to listen to the album
How do you know so much? Or figure you do. 23 million streams arent free streams dumb a$. The hive meltdowns are cray. Like looking for every and any reason. Ok she gave her way her album for free you happy? And bey purchased her first few albums. There we are even. Gosh!!!! ??? you guys are just relentless. Accept the fact rih got paid to make an album. Accept the fact that it wasn’t free. The demand was major, she is topping iTunes! Work out did sorry and hello first day radio play. rias certified. Riaa was you guys best Amy Union against Rihanna now you guys are saying it means nothing. ?? got you guys out her researching the heck out of Google. Most genius era ever. Shoot if I could get my first million albums paid for and give them to my fans for free , sign me up.
15 million *
That’s the thing! The Navy were the main ones dragging JayZ for this!
But when Rihanna does it you want us all to conveniently forget about that…..
the 400k they are claiming is not streams but actual downloads. The streams were like 13million which i dont know as to how much it translates to albums.
Because the Salvation Army spent 2 years claiming that a certain other surprise release was a “gimmick” and now their fave is doing the exact same? PLUS cheating to a platinum certification on top of that.
she got a platinum certification BUT her album sales remain 10 mil in the US
.
she could have been at 11 milli if she sold fair and smartly
.
what a flop
why does it matter? She did what she wanted. Do you think she is bothered. The hive are the only ones bothered. ????. While we just looking at you rant. Currently listening too s** with me. ???? while you tip pity tapping all this hate.
The deception hunny!

Can someone say ANTItruth. We want the truth! Even though we know these corporations will never reveal the true numbers to save face…. Its such a damn shame, all of the gimmicks involved, They thought they had everyone confused with this mess of a rollout….. All smoke and mirrors chawld….. even if they provide the receipts, hell those are probably falsely generated too.
Sorry pest, the downloads won’t count on billboard, but the streaming will. Save the it’s free excuse, so is YouTube and very. More eggs for the pest faces please!
this girl is not that successful compared to her contemporaries
.
she just has more albums and singles and features
.
people like Taylor and Katy are on album #5 and #3 and on like 77 and 72 mili singles
.
I magine when they reach album 8?
.
Rihanna is nolonger selling
EXACTLY! Not to mention those girls didn’t need to release yearly. Rihanna is just a S**** that was worked for filth by Def Jam to lend her vocals to a team of hit makers to keep the dough rolling in. Taylor is going to snatch and Katy will follow lol! Poor Rifunded just can’t catch a break. Her next gimmick will be her getting a cooperation to purchase 2 million songs of her next single for R9 lmfao!
lol
.
their strike when the iron is hot strategy can only last for so long
.
Welcome to the real world where artist take 1-3 years to release an album and suddenly the FLOPPAGE SHOWS
whats your opinion on the fact that this decade rihanna has sold more albums and singles than beyonce? Is beyonce then selling?
@Blue Gosh everyone is tired of your dumbass arguments. Of Hoeanna has more album sales. She’s released like 3 albums this decade and now another 1 bringing her total to 4 albums.
Loud 6m
Talk That Talk 3.8m
Unapologetic 3.6m
Anti ??
Total 13m
Beyonce
4 3.4m
Self Titled 4m
Total 7.4m
Hardly anything to brag about when Beyonce has more than half of h** anna sold with less lmao!
@Rihboy Katy Perry and Taylor Swift aren’t her contemporaries. Beyonce has been around since the 90s. Her contemporaries are Pink, Usher, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys.
???? Taylor and Katy!? White pop generic queens? Ok that’s fair. Even tho the real shade they both outsell bey as well. But that’s just facts. Not speculation. Please sit ???
I recall not hating on Beyonce when self-titled dropped. I was just as excited and bought it without even testing it. You can’t lie that these releases aren’t exciting. New Era. New age of music.
Why you always lyin?
You and Centimeter stayed calling Self Titled a GIMMICK!
I called the 600K first week sales HYPE. Words mean things. Stop putting words in my mouth. Come with facts.
Nothing wrong with it, Taylor had Red with a papa John promo, it wasn’t counted by BB, but it was still clever marketing.
no album has ever sold 400k due to streams not even “25” and not even Taylor Swift
.
artists hardly sell 100k over streams
.
we are being deceived outchea
.
and not the nazi relying on streams to compensate for album sales
.
tricky. trick. tricked. with tricks
Everyone’s talking bout Kiss it Better, but “S** with me” on the deluxe version goes hard as f*** and will be the urban club anthem! I’m glad she released I luv music. Now just waiting on Bey, Tinashe and Timberlake to drop!
i just cant get over her voice on love on the brain and dont get me started on the brilliance of higher or close to you.
I couldn’t get into it, but a lot of them been growin on me, about to give it another listen.
They are selling numbers, not quality music.
If any artist can sell music like that, expect to have b******* music to listen to.
I’m not feeling good about this situation because they were no snippets of the album to convince us to download it, so of course, everybody will download for free.
I’ll always rule for beyoncé, at least she does not cheat her customers
actually once they took the album off tidal the first time any person could listen to the snippets even without a tidal account. And those customers got free music. Each free download required a name and email account, those people choose to download the album nobody forced them
@BlueBalls anyone can create a fake name and email account, HELLL, i’m using one right now. It is not the same thing as spending $11.99 on it. I deactivated my Tidal months ago, and I got three junk emails from them begging me to download DiaRIHea’s album for free (so they shoved it down the consumers throat). LOL luckily I saw thru that BS and didn’t waste my time!
Hane u even heard the Album? It s***’s on Beyonce!
OMG… some of you are so are so simple, s/n anti super dope. Now if what they’re saying is true through tidal the album did 1.4 million downloads & 13m streams, (1 million paid by samsung) so the other 400,000+ from the downloads were PAID DOWNLOADS that FANS PAID WITH THEIR OWN MONEY. So again THE FREE VOUCHERS ONLY COVERED 1M OF THE ‘1.4M’ downloads.
Another question? Why in the f** would jay risks the integrity of his NAME & COMPANY, especially when its time to tally up the numbers THEY WOULD HAVE TO PROVE THE NUMBERS WERE LEGIT so why make this report if they couldn’t back it up. If so jay stupid and i don’t think he is, atleast i hope not. So i guess we’ll see.
DiarRIHea’s slavi hœs are HILARIOUS! Weren’t they quoting Forbes when they did an article on Beyonce’s networth, but now apparently they are saying Forbes isn’t credible 😆 (ironically Forbes slashed Rihanna’s networth in half, but they conveniently forgot that too). Adele got that b*tch sooo scared that she had to buy 1M of her own albums and give it out for free. Shartpop Teas
Sad that Rihanna has to have a company buy her album in bulk to cover up otherwise poor sales. That is desperation. Flop with dignity.
Yall please stop the hate and support this woman, it’s actually a good album. Her and Beyonce are good artist representing for urban, black, white, asian, aribac, ect communities. Support them both! I never understood how one could hate Rihanna in the name of Beyonce when it is Beyonce’s husband manages Rihanna!
It’s not that we hate her. It’s the fact that they did this shady deal to cover up the fact that It might’ve flop. I feel the album is good and would’ve did well.
My question is how do you know something shady took place? You aren’t a fan and hate just as this blog does when it comes to a beautiful woman who they wish they were born as! To think that Jay or Samsung would risk their credibility for her is ridiculous and the gays on this blog are too much to deal with at times. It’s a known fact that Gay’s are most likely to hate on beautiful women in general, but please give this s*** a rest until the primary sources release statements and numbers. She’s went platinum, deal with it, times have changed in this industry.
Girl or lil boy suck my jimmy the long way. 1st off I don’t hate Rihanna I bought the cd off iTunes . 2nd the gays live beautiful women , every bad bittch has a f*** on the team. 3rd Rihanna cheated period point blank.
The Cd is cute . Have a blessed weenkend IT!!!!!!???
“Love”
It’s so sad that this blog and and most of it’s commenters are hating on this woman’s success in the name of Beyonce when they are both affiliated! Give it a rest, they f*** with each other!
Damn Rih is doing the most though. 400k? As if the 1 million number wasn’t the biggest exaggeration ever she done went and added 400k on top of it. By weeks end she’ll have broken Adele’s record SCREAMING at her and her company’s delusion that anyone is falling for it. They trying it kiiii!!!!
I love you but back to the drawing board Bey!
No one is fooled. The industry sees what Rihanna is doing and is low key shading her.
This is just f****** stupid and dumb and slightly frustrating. To be completely honest I was really looking to see her honest sales. Think about it for a moment…
Some of those people who downloaded it for free; I wonder how many of them were initially willing to pay for it? I have no idea what her first week numbers are about to look like but it’s unfortunate because Rihanna herself didn’t give this album a fair chance at all.
Really? Like a phone company purchased your album? Then why don’t ALL artists just do this if that’s OK? just sell your freaking music to a company and let us all have your hard work for free and screw billboard postitions and authentic public interest sales smh.
I don’t even know man…and I don’t hate Rihanna at all this is just honestly how I feel and it’s so dumb. This whole ordeal is just so dumb. She would have been just FINE without going this route.
It’s really sad that she isn’t letting the music speak for itself. She should’ve had a normal release and sat back and basked in her “artistic freedom.” All of these tricks are making people focus less on the music which is pretty good by the way.
who cares anymore.weather its free or however she got her Samsung cheque at the end of the day its all about the money.
Charts and all those things are becoming irrelevant in the digital age.
Rihanna’s team can’t be trusted, they stay making up receipts. Like claiming Rihanna sold 250 million records. She sold 10 million albums in the US a.k.a the biggest market, where did the rest 240 million come from?? She’s only big in Europe really… She’s irrelevant in Asia
you means she sold 10million albums and 100 million singles just in the usa. She couldnt possibly have sold another 20 albums and 100 million singles, could she?
They only doing that stupid s*** because she’s a black woman, just like they did jay z because he’s a black man smdh n all you uncle tom ass mfas talking about her need to go say this s*** to y’all momas
KIII @ the messiness, but I’m still here for Anti. I now find it to be her second best work. She changed everything she usually does just to release this record. Billboard will give us the official #s next week. Until then, continue to enjoy the music.
Work work work work. Really bxtch? Lol. All this time you took and you released this piece of shxt?! I actually liked BBHMM but that’s not even on the record. As a buzz single and video, that has been the best shxt she has released in recent years. There’s nothing timeless or create about this coconut bxtch new music. WTF? Lol. Totally disappointed Rihonda fan. Not anymore. All this fxcking time tho. Really bih? Wtf!!
