What a tangled web has been weaved with Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI.’
The sometimes singer dropped her eighth studio album last week and has been embroiled in controversy ever since.
For many, the issue – beyond the free project’s questionable quality – stems from its sales. More specifically the great effort that has arguably been gone to to conceal its true commercial performance.
Said furore erupted after the RIAA certified the LP Platinum in the US despite a Samsung sponsorship making the 1 million “sold” copies available to fans for free.
Stirring more confusion into the mix was Rih’s exclusive streaming partner TIDAL, who went on to claim that an additional 400,000 equivalent copies of the album has been shifted.
All of this and yet confirmed industry forecasts have ‘ANTI’ on-course to open with full first week numbers of 95k-130k Stateside.
So what’s actually going on?
The good folk over at TIDAL have provided additional info to help clear things up.
Speaking to SPIN, another TIDAL rep further clarified the situation saying:
“Of the 400K+ in global sales of ANTI via TIDAL, Billboard will only be counting US sales.”
So, the alleged 400k touted was actually worldwide and not the numbers in the US. A fact which makes sense, but ultimately has us – and, we’re sure, many more – wondering whether the lack of clarity was a deliberate PR ploy all along.
After all, had the masses not revolted and demanded answers, would a rep have ever been forced to weigh in with the true tea?!
Forget the rulebook; if there’s anything fRih is re-defining, it’s messiness.
Because, at this junction, ‘ANTI’ is hands-down one of the most flawed roll-outs in recent music memory.
Tidbit: For all the TIDAL hoopla, Ms. Fenty has been doing A LOT of Apple/iTunes promo on social media of late.

Get those sales, girl.
??
People on tgj are desperate losers who have nothing better to do than sit around talking about Rihanna all day long. No matter what you all say, her first single is still a hit, she’s 25 million Richer and her album will go on to sell millions like it usually does. Instead of focusing on the product, the music on the album. You all choose to focus on first week sales as if that has ever been a predictor of Rihannas success. Many people open big first week and still can’t touch Rihanna’S overall sales and hits catalog. You guys are really petty and childish. Rihanna will remain unbothered. After all she brokered one of the biggest deals of her career with a major corporation, and you all focusing on first week sales. Smh at the nonsense.
They open big the first week and stall ??
I agree with you these haters use false report to try make fun and mock this black woman the thirst and hate comes from her own blacks,but rih was never a big seller in the USA she is worldwide so her navy is not worried about billboard rih always go on to sell millions unlike the rest who starts at number one and still stuck and cannot go platinum Sam has amber fingers up his ass her fist
I totally agree. Calling her “sometimes singer” while praising the likes of Zedyana (or whatever her name is). They love hating on Rih. Idk why either, this was a smart business move . All bias aside.
While RIHANNA continues with her PERMANENT majestic residency in your craniums- as a TRUE queen should…
Who will be reading the obituary for that new Coldplay ft BYE aka Beygone aka BeyLOWground?!
On a scale of Death Beds – Funeral Parlours this B!+€H’s impact is literally “KILLING” it worldwide!!
She has officially sink Coldplay’s music SIX (6) feet deep Into her DEATH POOL of IRRELEVANCY.
Will Coldplay manage to rise from the ashes of this MESS to regain hits in the future?
Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z.
TGJ is truly pathetic, they bash the only person that is giving their site hits. Every day there was a post about Rihanna not dropping Anti and now that she’s dropped it, you’re still trying to put her down because you’re too stupid to know what she’s doing (which is making money, $25 million up front, to be exact). Who cares about sales when you’re getting paid that much? Not many Artist can say that. How about you try to be a real journalist Sam, and do some research before you do another post about her sales, actually, stop talking about and let the numbers speak for themselves. She could go 5 times platinum and you will still try to bash her. She’s out performing your faves, is that why you stay mad?
Like i said 15k in the US and 13k in the UK the TWO BIGGEST music market’s. Hmmmmmm Tidal ????
Karma, this has KARMA written all over it
.
Oh well the album is a good album
Karma for what though? What did she do to anybody?
@Huh because her arrogant self and her cocky ass Navi lets not forget

I only know how to be number 1!! I could use

@Huh lets also not forget
“Damn Ci what i’d do? Forget to tip you?”
(Sips Tea ☕)
I mean if you all feel that those things are enough to hate a person enough to pray that everything they do fails then , hey I cant change your minds. But I’m sure we’ve all had our cocky moments.
Lmfao your reaching who said anything about praying dafuq???? Yesss its needed. Karma is a bitxh and her Arrogant ass is about to be knocked off her pedestal along with the Slavi. She let fame get in her head. Everyone gets cocky at some point but eventually were all knocked back down.
So what would make you guys feel better? If she went bankrupt and wasn’t able to support family?
Gaga sold her album for 99 cents I guess she gets no flak for that
Gurrrl stop playing victim. The K** Swallowers along with countless other fan bases including social media dragged her. Gaga got plenty of hate! The difference is CheatAnna 1 up’d her by having Samsung buy her album in bulk sales than giving it away. Further more, she had the audacity to thank the Navi for making her go platinum LMFAO!!!
B!+€H u still here????
There is only SO much seething u can get into the SHORTEST month of the year! But please ATTEMPT to BREAK A RECORD because Lord knows your fave won’t do it chile…
On that note, my fave has set another record!!! This is the way to start off 2016!!!
BILLBOARD agrees.
(“Work” lifts the diva into a tie with three legends.
As previously reported, Rihanna’s “Work,” the lead single from her new album Anti, rockets onto the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Feb. 13) at No. 9, instantly becoming the superstar’s 27th top 10. With the song’s arrival, she ties Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Elton John for the fifth-most top 10s in the Hot 100’s history.
The only artists with more top 10s than that quartet since the Hot 100 originated with the chart dated Aug. 4, 1958? Madonna (38), the Beatles (34), Michael Jackson (29) and Stevie Wonder (28). (Notably, Elvis Presley boasts 25 Hot 100 top 10s, but his career predated the chart by two years; had the chart existed earlier, his top 10 count would be higher.)
Especially impressive, Rihanna has reached 27 Hot 100 top 10s faster than any other soloist. Dating from an artist’s first week on the Hot 100 to the frame in which it notched its 27th top 10, only one act has reached the sum more quickly: the Beatles tallied their 27th top 10 (1969’s “Get Back,” with Billy Preston) a mere five years, three months and three weeks after their 1964 Hot 100 debut with “I Want to Hold Your Hand” (their first Hot 100 charted title, top 10 and No. 1).
Rihanna’s ‘Anti’ & ‘Work’ Blast Onto Billboard Charts
Runner-up Rihanna needed just 10 years and eight months between her first Hot 100 hit, and first top 10, 2005’s No. 2-peaking “Pon De Replay,” and “Work” (which features Drake). Madonna now ranks third with a still-speedy 11-year, two-month and two-week span between “Holiday,” her first Hot 100 entry (which reached No. 16 in 1984), and her 27th, “Take a Bow,” which became her longest-leading No. 1 (seven weeks) in 1995. (And, of course, both Madonna and Rihanna have crowned the Hot 100 with songs titled “Take a Bow.”) (Another fun fact: fittingly, given her new total of top 10s, Rihanna’s age? 27!)
In honor of Rihanna’s new top 10, check out our updated look (above) at the elite acts with the most top 10s in the Hot 100’s 57-year history.)- BILLBOARD
Yaaaaawwwwnnn set tied a record not set! She also needed a s*** ton music to do so. All those legends released less bodies of work to do it lmao! Bye Child! The Legendary Queen Bey is unbothered! Now get back to that corner and hope someone will actually clear out them cobwebs tonight! Beyonce has set records not tied! 6 grammys in one night, first female artist’s to have her first 5 albums debut at #1, first female artists to simultaneously top the US and UKs Albums/Singles chart…. and countless more!
And her album is still a flop.
::: shrugs :::
Poor navy just when they thought there was light at the end of the loooong tunnel?
This JEZEBEL tho!!! If u can find a “light” to go off in that dim witted Blonde’s brain then maybe she can FINALLY “tunnel” her relevancy from the PAST to the FUTURE!!
@PLENNYSORROWS
I don’t get the recent obsession with counting numbers instead of listening to the damn music. When we were little, nobody cared about how high a song charted. It was just whether or not you liked it and heard it on the radio. Unless you’re a mega-star or Adele, you’re not going to sell.
This is the first Rihanna album I’ve ever bought. It’s truly an incredible body of work…for her. I’m glad to see growth and hopefully this will humble some of the Navy. But that’s doubtless.
“Close to You” needs to be her next single. It’s got “Stay Part 2” slayage written all over it.
Shut up and stop complaining
.
Sam needs these posts
.
The rent ain’t gonna pay itself
No, actually, I think I’ll continue to offer my unbiased opinion. I appreciate you taking the time to read! #AndIThankYou
The obsession comes from all the shiiit the Navi talked. From she will out due self titleds numbers first week and Ww to Anti will be her Ray of Light moment. Now i ain’t going to lie for Rihanna this album is a solid peace of work but its still now where near what the GP and yes the Navi thought it would be. But its still a good album. With all that said social media wi continue to drag Rihannas arrogant ass. Kets not forget
” @ rihanna
I only know how to be number 1!! I could use

4:46 PM – 29 Mar 2013”
But she is going #1 next week according to predictions so what’s your point ?
To clarify, I don’t stan for Rihanna. But I agree. She put herself in the corner that she’s in right now. Again, they can either eat the humble pie or pretend they don’t like pie. Oh well. It’s been SERVED.
If numbers werent important then why is her team being so damn shady about it? 1 million albums sold? lmfao
I made a general statement. We fight day and night about sales like we’re each getting a cut of the profits. Like how do these people know how much these artists make down the last cent but have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts? I don’t compute.
Exaaccctttllyyyyyy, Why is the they saying it’s not about the numbers, when Rihanna and her team are the ones who made it about the numbers??? Thats like me announcing to the world, “hey I sold 500k copies this week!” And then when the truth comes out… “Well it wasn’t about the sales anyway…” Death. Nah dawg, it don’t work like that.
Numbers don’t matter to ME. I don’t get paid to BUY somebody’s album or product. Therefore, why should we care as long as we like the music? I don’t care who started bragging first. The back and forth has been going way before ANTI.
This is the first Rihanna album I bought, too. She finally put out songs that won’t get old in a couple of weeks. Cause let’s be honest, who is still listening to say Rude Boy? Nobody.
Some of the tracks take a minute to get into, but once you do, they are dope.
Whatever, if this doesn’t debut #1 next week…………
Ok.
Anti is the joke that keeps on giving.
Shes been getting dragged for a week straight lmao
How is she getting dragged for a week straight when her album hasn’t even been out a week yet? Premature much.
Might as well be a week. The album dropped last week on Wednesday. Its Tuesday now sooooo….
STFU Folly Molly!!! U are such a PAWN for whichever stan group to use and then discard like your black dad did your white mom.
You’re flip flopping a$$ is so mentally unstable it’s actually shocking. They called u out when u were running up and down The ICON’s post rejoicing like navy YOU ARE NOT!
Now u Working overtime to look good in the eyes of people on the internet that really are NOT THAT INTO U!! Why u wanna play yourself like that?
Between your absentee father and your bitter, self conflicted Mother- we can see how not belonging is an age old issue for u. Go seek THERAPY!
4/10 for this half trash album
.
Not her best but better than every album she released after and before LOUD
.
I don’t see a Grammy nomination in the main categories
.
Don’t know how but Work debuted at #9 let’s thank Drake for that
.
Now now I would like the following navy members to come forward with excuses
BLUE
LB
MARK111
All of the post about Rihanna are just so that the site gets traffic right? Because I can’t imagine that there are so many people out in the world that have so much hate in their heart for someone who’s never done anything to them. It’s one thing to not be interested in her, but do the people on this sight actually hate her like she is p******** or something?
lmaoo rihanna do 1mill? maybe with a single yes not with a album . this is a mess and her album sales is a mess bye the navy trying every excuse in the book
Sorry for Rihanna, but her silly delusional stans deserved this pie in the face. They spent years bragging, embellishing and acting very ugly, now the chickens have come home to roost. Rihanna’s album might actually be decent, haven’t heard it (not interested), but there is no room for spin here. This is a commercial disappointment that is embarrassing for all involved.
#RIPRIRI shoulda stuck with Def Jam hōe.
I figured that after the predictions came out. Tidal could’ve verified stateside vs ww
However 400k worldwide in 48 wish hours is good and its still #1 worldwide on iTunes ??
Lol we have even bigger news yet to come… But I’m just basking in the seething meltdowns on these recent posts.
She’s probably already working on the super safe microwaveable popcorn followup to cover this catastrophe up. Totally manned by a bunch of corny euro dance and trap producers. They’ll rush release it for the next Black Friday.
400k first day worldwide sounds pretty good to me she’s never sold many albums first week in the U.S but she’s always manages to have longevity at least going platinum 6 times already and multi platinum worldwide with at least 3 million sold with loud being over 6 and Gggb over 9 mill
Anti was an amazing album a lot of the songs don’t sound like what’s on Radio today though although work is her 27th top hit! Whether this album does huge first week of not it still slays and will be remembered for being anti and controversial. All of her songs off the album are Charted on iTunes so she’s definitely getting paid either way since she owns her masters and label! Congrats Rih they deff going to talk whether you doing bad or good!
Oh sweetie she only sold 460 copies in the US! Stop believing Tidal’s lies!
So still 1.495 million confirmed in the first week, with 1,095,000 in US first week sales, slay.
Yeah but the one million was FRIH sis..lol
the 1 million was BROUGHT by Samsung and then given to 1 million people for free. she not just gAve away albums they were already paid for so your shade is invalid and just proves LB and Marks point about the H** not being able to read or have no compression past grade 3.
BOUGHT*
Samsung bought the 1 million copies! My gawd the Navy is stupid
460navy better cling to Samsung sales ??
@MollyPopping
B!+ch u need to find you a PERMANENT identity to finally CLING to. Stop worrying about Rihanna.
First of all Rih KNOWS who she is and…isn’t suffering from neglect and bitterness on a random blog site.
—
SAMSUNG customer’s are rejoicing that they were gifted ICONNA’s album because let’s be real, her music is everything!!
—
Home girl made BANK in the process. Fans are smiling!
Corporations are in love with RIHANNA because she makes them richer!! Something CI-HAHA knows nothing of.
—
Rihanna’s music is SITTING pretty at top 10 on the charts from literally NO promo.
—
Her NEW Music is HOT!
—
Her MULA stays stacked!
—
Her FANS are happy!!!
—
HER ALBUM will be number 1 next week
Plzzzz continue to seethe over ANTI!!
Delusional much? As a Samsung customer, I wouldn’t touch a Goatanna album if you paid me. Her McAlbum being free didn’t entice me to download it.
These artists & their management are so worried about sales, they forget to put quality into their music… “Anti” doesn’t sound good at all (except “Kiss It Better”). It’s not about sales, it’s about longevity, & you only get longevity by making timeless music. Rihanna has longevity, so she will always have a loyal fan base, & she’ll always make headlines. She doesn’t need to sell out, to sell records… so why is she? Why must she try & outsell Beyonce, Adele, Taylor etc…? She’s trying too hard, & as a result, we get lack-luster music. This whole era is just disasterous…
@OMGnoLOGiC is here!
1. U are ASHAMED to admit that your fave is BEY!
2. U sure talk bravely about Rihanna’s musical catalogue when the records she broke were based on the general’s public INTEREST in her music…
Who do u Stan for? We already know who SAMSUNG stans for kiiiiii
I was thinking about this earlier and it just kind of occurred to me…did giving this album away for free REALLY hurt/impact her sales?
Because I’m starting to believe…even if we get music for free (which people do ALL the time whether there’s a free link available or not) the fans who want to support the artists will go out and purchase regardless?
So I’m starting to second guess and think maybe I was wrong in thinking her numbers would be higher if not for the Samsung deal? Does it really boil down to people not caring to support her music?
Adele sold 3 million in 1 week in the U.S. alone. Riri is such a flop
Lol you’re doing too much. No one is selling like Adele. Although Frihanna tried it with those self purchased albums ?????
Not a fair comparison what other artist ever has sold 3 million besides Adele? Hmmm
But I thought Riri was going to snatch Adele’s wig?
@Cinnamon Girl Oop forgot about that one
#BLOOP
no one ever said Rih would snatch her wig both are queens gtfoh
Lol! Oh please you Rhitards want yo have amnesia now? Lol
http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6865869/rihanna-ties-mariah-janet-elton-hot-100-top-10s
Blah blah blah. While you guys sit here and lament on tidal disputes after a complete week hasn’t been counted. Rihanna has yet accomplished another’s fete. Once the video drops it will rise higher. Too bad bey didn’t make the list. She sells albums. But cannot get not one song in the album to stick. Quality over quantity ehh. I hear you guys. ????
No1 cares, Ri has the #’s but her music compared to the artists she’s tied with plus beyonces is far less quality. It’s just a bunch of shallow mcSingles that will never be remembered, tributed, acknowledged etc. her popularity is where her comparison starts and stops to all those you named. She cannot sing, create, perform, deliver anywhere any of those artists you named,. She’s merely just popular. Like McDonald’s.
I may not f uck with Thighyonce, but did you just suggest the Goat’s music is of a higher quality than hers?
The album isn’t even available to purchase in stores yet? It’s still number one in the iTunes world chart the final sales worldwide aren’t even in yet! why are people nowadays so anxious to see sales projections vs listening to the music and coming up with your own opinion, it never used to be this way when our artists don’t sell what the media or GP think is good (which is very subjective) then it’s an automatically labeled “a flop” and the GP will abandon it without even giving it a try
These artists in the industry have it way harder then you think
“Forget the rulebook; if there’s anything fRih is
re-defining, it’s messiness.”
—————————————————->>
Chawl! Sam is a mess period!!! Cheaters never win EVER.
Didn’t Onika lie about her album sales? What about her brother? Liars and rapists don’t win neither then sweetie
What does her brothers actions got to do with her? Stfu!
She defended the r*****! Just because their blood is similar. Nicki ain’t winning shxt
Lol..so she did not sell over 400k(PURCHASED)like self titled did. The struggle!!!!! It just keeps getting worse for the NAZI..
LMAOOOO This era is far worse than I ever imagined. Poor thing has fell all the way off! I am TEARSSSSS!!!!!
So you didn’t like the album ?
I mean, It’s alright girl but it’s no universally acclaimed masterpiece. It’s cute. Higher irritates me tho.
I know right. The downfall is tragic and hilarious.
atleast they count for something. Will they be counted by the ww chart though?
I don’t think so. You have to admit this era is really a mess and ita longevity is not looking to good.
@surprise yes its been messy but it adds to the ANTI factor.lol. Also as annoying as it is, its exciting to see how it performs and what she does to help it.
LMAO look at the Navy telling US to focus on the music instead of the numbers? Are you phuuucking serious?
Everybody let’s enjoy another dragg session
400k sounds like PR PAYOLA, SAMSUNG bought 1 million copies worth for a Petty RIAA CERT might as well pay tidal to lie, those sales on Tidal were slashed down to $3.99 anyway. Valuant effort but do better! Any lie will do for the Navy. Watch tidal forget to update that fake 400k ww figure and it still having sold 400k by this time next week.
Exactly! A lot of music industry insiders are raising their eyebrows at Tidal, Samsung and Rihanna. They are being really shady. They keep that up they’re going to be blackballed. Watch
Also no promotion besides iTunes links via her Instagram! No SNL performance or appearance first week, good morning america, talk shows, nothing! No video yet for Work hmmmmm
excuses for what? 400k was sold. Fact. It just wasnt for the usa alone. She work debuted at #9. And anti at #27 with one and a half day of sales. Next week it will rise to #1 the week after hopefully with the physical release she could keep the number 1 spot.
Oh did i mention she broke another record?
All wins
Work is # 3 and 15 on iTunes
Song with the biggest radio update today aswell
combined work is #1
sorry #2
Payola! Her record company paid to have a whole slew of radio stations spin the lazy Work song every hour on the hour. Payola for the entire one million copies bought album! Oh did I mention the tour isn’t selling very well. Curse, talk about s**,and mumble makes a timeless album? FOH!
I guess that so called reign finally let up
The navy always talking about singles lmaoooo yaaaawwwwwnnnnnnn!
So I’m convinced that Rihanna keeps the lights and WiFi on at TGJ
Don’t think so !!!!
I feel sorry for her!!!! She will bounce back.
The album in my opinion was different, not her norm hence the title Anti.
I wish her the best of luck!!!!!
Lol “Frihanna” but anyway i choose not to focus on irrelevant mess. The album was good, the business deal was genius, and it was something only rihanna or bey could have pulled off. Let’s be real, rihanna was going platinum either f****** way.
Rihanna didn’t pull anything off tho. Anti is a Beyonce wrong lol
Beyonce version of anti is 4. All artists have them as far as commercial sales go for stepping out of musical comfort zones. Rihanna intended to have an album that was to be sat through.
there’s something else coming. keep an eye out.
I feel like this album just proves that people only care about “hits” and sales or the charts. It’s very aggravating how hive minded you all are. Listen to the album and gather your own damn opinion. If not then just shut up.
I’m leaving this right here!
https://www.yahoo.com/tv/rihannas-anti-album-sells-only-155100854.html
She FLOPPED! Deal with it. Think about that “LateVy” the next time y’all talking ish about other artists not selling.
TIDAL rep = BS PR Spin
“Can Rihanna’s Anti knock Adele’s 25 out of the No. 1 spot next week? More importantly, would this affect Adele’s dream to have Rihanna in her squad?”
Kiiii Yahoo being petty! Not Adele’s dream being shattered ???????????????
Petty and childish sums it up perfectly
Hive mentality IS hurting people’s development and they are to o dumb to realize they are being robbed and devolved being a stan of such a mental.midget that focuses on nonsense
UGH!! That whole run on sentence hurt my brain! Lets not talk out being dumb okay! You want to talk like you’re educated!? Than type like you’re educated please.
According to Billboard, Rihanna has broken another record
Petty and childish
….befraudce her impact!
And bullies………the hive….. but Rih still shines
I’m one of those that is glad this has happened not because I’m a hater but because she has been so arrogant as if she does something no other chick can do. These sales will continue to be a topic because thats the only thing Rihanna has ever had any credibility in and now that she has taken a break plus try to do a Beyonce surprise realese we get to see how the public views her. The Navi and anybody else trying to defend this needs to stfu with these post about “quality music” and “listen to the music thats what matters” how when she tried to guarantee success by front loading sale thru a Samsung deal. How is that being about the music when you gloat about sales that you didn’t natural accrue, not when there’s artist who put out quality music and struggle for attention.
Then the Navi wants to bring up this 25 million dollar figure as if this is going directly to her bank account untouched. Let’s think about this now, she has her tour that they are sponsoring, she also has been appart of their galaxy campaign (along with anti), they bought 1 million copies of her album, plus some of that is going to roc nation/tidal. She gotta a good deal but it aint 2t mill in her account or anything close. Remember how much was reportedly spent on Artpop? You gotta be a fool not to believe than aint lose money from 45sec,AO, and BBHMM videos and promo. Not to mention that all those songs along with her current single has had a “radio deal” to be played at the top of the hour, ( all except AO, never heard it) which is just as unfair as a corporation buying a million albums.
Its not that fRihanna flopped it’s that she has used tricks to force people to listen to her music even when they havent been as hungry for it as her team wants you to believe.
*25mill *they ain’t
Pathetic petty sad hateful….the hive
With 400k sales on tidal in 1+ days (kiiii) & Itunes ww figures this album better sell a millie first week. I find it funny that we suppose to belive rih sold so much on tidal with only 1 million alleged subscribers yet theres no report on itunes ww figures with atleast 20 million users. There is no excuse for CANTi struggling so hard her team have to cheat stats when 4 sold 1.5 million in the us, was also without a potential hit single and was illegally downloaded & leaked on youtube way more than Anti yet still managed to steal 2 weeks at #1 from adele… with a r&b album. No excuse esp after a 3 year gap. Those 2nd 3rd and 4 th WEAK #s will bde a disgrace to Roc Nation. One more flop and rih will be dropped from the label
4 had major promo before the release and Blu saved 4 sit!
Are fuxking kidding me with that comment!?!? Anti has had promo for a Year!!! FFS, BBHMM and AO say hello!!! Than she revealed the Title and artwork for the album months ago. Than even furthwr the promo with 8 trailers that revolved around Anti! Have several seats with these excuses!!!
And another reason befraudce csnt even put herself in tje same sentence as mj
He and his fans spread love
She and hers spew hate
Smh i could never be a fan of that thirst bucket hater
Another post about Rihanna! Lord.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *sips tea*
something is off, I watched the AntiDiary Promo again and I feel like there was so much going on but ANTI though great it feels like it hasn’t drawn out the full story. feels more like a preview or a trailer
the reason why you all wetting your panties is because you’re all gullible. how can an album debut at 27 and sell only a thousand copies
Chawl!!!! Im going to need you to educate yourself on the situation before commenting. It sold 406 albums and had over 4 million streams which brought the total to over 15 thousand albums equivalent sold!
Predictions for ANTI have been revised from 125K to 110K???????
Yeah I question 400k WW. I bet the exec is counting streaming sales in other countries. Plus GAGA is getting a 6-7 minute window to tribute David Bowie at the Grammy’s. Adele is performing. This album is going NOWHERE.
i’m not loosing sleep over what rihanna sells. rihanna has her own music label she owns the masters to all her music. if she sells a thousand she will be getting around 80% of the money because she owns all her shyt. and because she has her own company by the time her accountant file her taxes she will make more than i will make in the next 10 yrs
Tidal most likely still doesnt really have 1 million subcribers yet but sumhow RIHSCEDULED got 1 million free downloads cuertesy of samsung and another 400k paid 3.99 for their copy. Thats about 400kimagenery downloads. Why didnt they just lie and say 400k ppl ww bought it from itunes instead?. 2 words SMOKE & MIRRORS. But when the dust clears will see those REAL #s this weekend.
huh
You people are crazy lol. Rihanna is still gonna be cocky even if she was dropped. This album is her best in my opinion. This woman is worried about her fans and most Of all her bank account . as long as she profits from it That’s what counts. Now if you sell low and then don’t profit then that’s a problem. However she just got a 25 million deal. Now watch next year when she be on Forbes , people gonna be like she bought Forbes positions lol. She not going anywhere or changing. Get over it. Now when Friday comes I will be in target to buy my second copy.
Lmao how gullible can u be. What 25 million? It was all spent on a RIAA certification. Her only chance at forbes is the Antisoldout tour. I doubt it even grosses 100 million.
Rih looks ROUGH in that pic, lmao is that pic supposed to make the DEADvy buy up those UNPURCHASED tickets from livenation. I never thot she could look THIS HIDEOS about the facial region. DEPRESSION is REAL. LMAOOOO
Would be 100% believable if it wasn’t at only 13K in UK midweeks (3rd biggest market in the world and easily Frih’s biggest market, period). Especially if it was on track to sell, say, 60-80K there.
We’ll see. But there’s still no excuse for ‘the black Madonna!!! Biggest black female GLOBAL superstar in history!11″ to be doing Florence & the Machine numbers in the US.
Hi Navy <3 The Baddest B*tch On This Site Will Be Taking Some Time Off Very Soon. I Have To Go To Do Something Very Important The Next Few Weeks. I Had Fun Exposing And Ripping The P&ssy Hive's V*****'s One By One And One By One. LB, Centurion, KeriKween, Mark111 Continue Making These No Walls B*tches Mad As We Always Do. They're Just Mad Their Fave Is A C** Guzzling, Obsessed Photoshopped, Thief That's Yoke Has Been Stale Since 2008. 10 More Years BeyHive Till Your Wh*re Reaches Menopause. When Will Rihanna? SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Pest have hit rock bottom. They want this album to flop so bad that they made up their own little world for it to flop in. Reality is still a place you have to come back to. You have to accept the 1 million copies sold, and you have to take your meds because of your low T cells count this week.
Anti’s predictions have been revised up, so 1.510 million in the first week WW, amazing stuff.
@justineskylelovesrih
All the best in your endeavours.
Ch.. There are so many people that can’t be here everyday to represent…I’m so happy for those familiar navy names you listed.
