I already knew number one albums didn't mean anything though years ago! Y'all would always throw Bey's number one albums in the navy's face like it was god walking on water! A number one album just means your album was the top album of that week! Rihanna releases in EXTREMELy competitive quarters (4th, November). Her albums were up against like country albums & Bon jovi & shit! She doesn't release albums in the middle of July like Beyoncé lol (4).
