Chart Check [Billboard 200]: Future Forces Rihanna Out of Top Spot

Published: Thursday 18th Feb 2016 by Rashad

Not even the likes of Rihanna and her faithful #Navy could hold rapper Future back from the wave of success he’s riding.

On a serious roll, as a reported here, Ciara‘s baby daddy is now the proud parent of a new #1 album (his third in a year).  Titled ‘Evol,’ the surprise release was greeted with sales of 139,000 (108,000 pure sales) – a response that slid him right to the top of the Billboard 200.

However, as the chart’s reveal, Future wasn’t Ri’s only woe.  Thanks to a resurgence in sales from ‘Hello’ hitmaker Adele, the Bajan beauty found herself even further down the tally than expected.

Find out where she landed and see the full chart check below:

    • Mariah The Legend February 18, 2016

      beyonce’s career is over.

      • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

        How dare anybody compare Beyonce (vovalist, performer, Queen of DC3) to Rihanna (The walking Instagram account)

    • UPGRADEBOY February 18, 2016

      Bih foration is not on sale but it still manage to debut at number 11 on RnB hip hop chart ,based only on streaming ans radio play

    • BOOBIE February 18, 2016

      It wasn’t released as a single and the video is UNLISTED on Youtube meaning only people with the link can see it and it doesn’t come up in search results. Shutup HO.

  2. HailBeysus February 18, 2016

    ??CAUSE IM FRIIIIIIIIIH FRIH FALLING??

    • Joint…. James Joint February 18, 2016

      Like Beyoncé career

      • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

        Rhianna should really consider a career change! Because the b**** can’t sing!

      • HailBeysus February 18, 2016

        Lmao nice try with the deflect huntea! Beyonce is 20 years into her career doing amazingly fine! But poor fRih! 10 years in and the decline has already started at an epic proportion at that ??????

  3. Authentic February 18, 2016

    ??Same Stans Same Tired Arguments ?

  4. LDN Chick February 18, 2016

    Tour struggle, album struggle and singles struggle. This era is what you a call a classic flop. How can you be dethroned by future lmao.

    • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

      The tour will be fine stop hating every single date of the DWT was sold out and prior to the tour starting you guys were saying the same thing!

      • LDN Chick February 18, 2016

        But this isn’t Diamonds world tour… this anti tour. And not a single date is sold out. The declinend is fact, not hate.

    • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

      There are many dates sold out she even added second shows. At 27 she’s in the top 10 for female tour revenue she will be fine regardless!

      • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

        How do you know that she’ll be fine?
        She’s only had ONE $100+ million grossing tour…

      • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

        Loud tour 90 million

        DWT 140 million

        Monster tour 36 million with 6 dates

        She had two other tours that did around 60 million

        She is fine lol she’s only 27

      • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

        Like I said,she only had ONE $100+ million grossing tour…

      • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

        So what? She doesn’t s**** herself with a million dates either! Her tour numbers are better then most females since she’s in the top 10 female touring acts

      • HailBeysus February 18, 2016

        Lmao gurrrl Between Rihan.a and Beyonce their is only a 12 date gap between how many shows they over all performed. Not to mention with that 12 date gap Beyonce has grossed $152 million more KIII!!!

      • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

        And? The Formation tour doesnt have “a million” dates and it’s already predicted to gross over 250 million. What’s Rihanna’s excuse?

    • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

      The reasonable number is 200 million Tyler and at this stage and point in Beyonces career she should be seeing those numbers. Super Bowl is a major help aswell

      • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

        You can’t even use the Super Bowl as an excuse for Formations success lol.
        Beyonce has had SEVERAL $100+ million grossing yours. The Mrs Carter Show alone grossed over $200 million. What’s Rihanna’s excuse this time?

    • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

      TMCWT 132 dates

      DWT 96 dates

  5. Datredd23 February 18, 2016

    Another 80k is stable Rih! Without the hype of Super Bowl no Grammys nor basically any promo and no video for work yet!

    • #JACKIE February 18, 2016

      Receipts that she sold 80k this week?

      • HailBeysus February 18, 2016

        Sis it was 45k plus streaming. These are for last weeks sales.

      • FAF February 18, 2016

        Look at the layers of floppage
        No platinum single off the album
        Bought it to platinum
        Incorporated streams
        With sales alone what is she st? Like 260k?
        And this is the biggest black pop star to date
        Ok ?

  6. LDN Chick February 18, 2016

    She hasn’t had a single outchart Drunk in Love in 2 years.

    Album hasn’t even sold 400k WW.lmao after 3 weeks.

    Tour flopping across the globe.

    Socks to be Navy right now.

    • #JACKIE February 18, 2016

      The twinks are jumping from that sinking Navy ship! I smell a 2007 Britney breakdown coming! Her end is near.

    • shakira stan February 18, 2016

      Has beyonce had any single that our charted drunk in love for three years?
      You forgot that year drunk in love came out rihanna had monster which was a 1_hit.
      If we want to be fair …the real question should be since monster and drunk in lust …has either rihanna or beyonce had any single that has outcharted it?

      • HailBeysus February 18, 2016

        Death!!! Now the Navy are clinging to others #1 single. Eminems era is not Rihannas era she was a featured artists! I cant with these heauxs seething in overload and clinging to anything bawahahahahaha!!!

      • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

        When was eminems last number one though? O right the song he did with Rih and then before that I don’t even know

    I love all this dodging that is going on. What I want to know is why 4 has got no platinum plaque, why is 4 flopping as hard as heartbreak on hold, why is Beyonce letting Rita Ora slay the s*** out of her in the UK?

    Reply

    • LDN Chick February 18, 2016

      4 sold 300k first week in the US alone whole anti has barely even sold that WW.

      • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

        Exactly! When Beyonce released 4 the Salvation Army was dragging her through the mud.
        So Rihanna receives no sympathy from me. This is Karma for their asses!

  8. Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

    But, I thought that Anti was supposed to be Rihannas “Ray of Light” moment….
    What happened Lovebird? Enlighten us!

  9. Joint…. James Joint February 18, 2016

    Even this site acknowledges that Rihanna is the most marketable celebrity. They will attach her name to anything to get a few comments. Just look at the other articles where her name is not mentioned in the title… This site is dead without Rihanna tbh

  10. Yazmine February 18, 2016

    Deeeeathhh. What kind of international global icon, Maddonnas replacement type slayage?

  11. Blue Ivy Rod February 18, 2016

    why are these same stans arguing over the same s***? jesus

    • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

      ^^^The Navy is the most hypocritical stan base in music history *exhibit A*^^^

      • Hmmm… February 18, 2016

        Exactly. The Navy is only sick of the arguments when they’re losing them.

  12. HailBeysus February 18, 2016

    Death!!!! Not HDD having 77% of this weeks sales accounted for and fRih is at #10 with sales of 13k ?????????????????????? She betta thank baby JESUS FOR STREAMING!!!

  13. Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

    You had a lot to say about Artpop though.

    And not $25 million dollar promo budget and doing the most only sell less than 20/20 LOCALperience, PRISM, MMLP2, Bangerz, Yeezus, MAGNA FLOPGA: HOLY FAIL.

    Not $25 million dollar promo budget only to sell 60K in the UK and open 40K less than Lana Del Rey’s Born to die. I cannot.

  14. Datredd23 February 18, 2016

    Work has no promo and is at number 4 this week you guys shade streaming but without it DIL would not have charted so high!

    • HailBeysus February 18, 2016

      We don’t sahde streaming. That would ve the Navy saying “the only reason Drunk In Love charted so high was due to streaming” Lol nice try again tho!

      • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

        You just tried to shade Rih with steaming though

      • HailBeysus February 18, 2016

        No i didn’t I said “She betta be thank BABY JESUS FOR STREAMING!” You claimed she sold 80K that was not true she sold 45k last week. 80K with streaming! Try again sweetheart but don’t try twisting my words.

  15. beykim loves bieber one direction beyonce miley and gaga February 18, 2016

    My faves all had a terrible era but dang,not with flopping tours.Who does that?

  16. XXX February 18, 2016

    I’m sorry I have no sympathy for the Navy. They talked throughout 4, they talked throughout Artpop, they talked through the Prism. All of those eras did better than Anti at this point. Rihanna smoke and mirrors have dropped this era.

  17. Datredd23 February 18, 2016

    Works cultural impact though!
    Jlo was twerking to Work last night on Fallon it was hilarious!

    I definitely agree with a commenter on here when they said BEY and Rih have more of an impact on culture then white artists like Taylor and Adele it’s the truth by far!

    • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

      Cultural impact…
      Really b****? -_-

      • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

        Yes Rihanna and Beyoncé have had a huge impact on culture BOTH of these BLACK WOMEN have. You disagree?

      • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

        What cultural impact has Work made? Elaborate on that!

      • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

        It’s well on its way when u have people in the streets dancing to it Celebrities singing remaking it and dancing to it and choreographers across the globe making viral videos and routines to it. Countless memes and lyrics being used on social media etc etc. The song is already a hit

      • Rita Ora Stan February 18, 2016

        The hive is so jealous of this girls success.

      • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

        LOL! That’s what you call impact?
        Formation hasn’t even been released to radio and it’s already made more of a SOCIAL/CULTURAL impact than Work.

      • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

        Yes Formation has and so has Work sweetie I know it’s hard to give credit but it will make u less bitter….

      • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

        Work hasn’t made an impact on Pop Culture.

  18. beykim loves bieber one direction beyonce miley and gaga February 18, 2016

    Tge pink print tour is coming and after paying ud dust Nicki will finally grace us with her presence.Anyway I remember years back when I stated thaf if Rih took even a year off she would flop and I was right.

    • beykim loves bieber one direction beyonce miley and gaga February 18, 2016

      The and us opps

  19. Datredd23 February 18, 2016

    Anti was an amazing album and is doing stable all of her songs are selling too and when she does more promo she will be fine she already got her coins for this album anything else is a plus plus she making more since it’s under her label

  20. beykim loves bieber one direction beyonce miley and gaga February 18, 2016

    Not this rejected T~Pain tho.

  21. Barb February 18, 2016

    No wonder she had a meltdown at the Grammys. B**** and her fans thought she was immune from flopping.

    • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

      Did Nicki finally win won? Was she even asked to attend or perform?

      • Barb February 18, 2016

        Tired drag. Come harder.

    • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

      I think it’s a reasonable drag how dare the Barbs come for Rihanna about anything a Grammies!

    • King Mark111 /.\ February 18, 2016

      Nicki was nominated, so did she win any?

  22. UPGRADEBOY February 18, 2016

    Navy please shut up and that flop pie

  23. beykim loves bieber one direction beyonce miley and gaga February 18, 2016

    Its over,I lost everything,if only it didn’t happen.Good things come to an end.Its sad and heartbreaking but even dead birds feed of the living

  24. UPGRADEBOY February 18, 2016

    Formation is not even on sale but has more impact than hot 100 top 10 songs, my fave is selling out stadium after stadium and adding more dates only with a little black and white commercial for her tour,she si slaying everything she is doing,
    Worry about your fave please

    • King Mark111 /.\ February 18, 2016

      Then why isn’t it charting on the chart then? You make no sense, impact, yet in the bubbling under? That’s called a flop girl.

      • Absolved February 19, 2016

        Did someone drop you on your head, or were you just born stupid? “Formation” isn’t charting, because it’s not on the marketplace for commerce. But you know what is? ANTI. And you know what’s doing poorly there? ANTI. Both album and tour.

  25. HailBeysus February 18, 2016

    But the real kii here is… Did Billboard even acknowledge fRihs tour sales??? Did they give us an estimate of how much she would gross. She has 36 stadium dates, Bey has 40 and is projected to make anywhere from $200 to $250 million. Lets not forget fRihs tour has 80 dates. So should we be expecting numbers of at least $300 million??? If not KIIIIII

    • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

      It’s not all about hype. We will see what her tour does I know the anticipation is killing the Hive

      • HailBeysus February 18, 2016

        Lmao y’all keep using that “hype” but huntea its not hype. She done did prove she about that hype when it comes to live performances and touring. Still doesnt answer my question as tp why BB didn’t have an estimate for Frihanna. PS expect more dates for Formation. She’s already sold out 20 of her stadiums and has yet to give dates for The Middle East, Asia and South America!

    • Datredd23 February 18, 2016

      And congrats to Bey both are doing good wether the Navy or the Hive like it!

      No other black entertainer can top them right now! For different reasons and strengths they both made a lane for themselves in!

      • HailBeysus February 18, 2016

        Kiii when your tea is constantly being clocked #BowOut ???????

  26. SWISH February 18, 2016

    article about Rihanna and the hive in here acting like sissies lmao

  27. DIABETES UNBOTHERED February 18, 2016

    Rihanna to me is so BASIC. Like the Lite diet 0% cafenated version of Beys Coke/Pepsi mix with 0% sugar. LMAO At the fact that at no point during Anti shelf life wil it sell more than Adele in any given week. Whats worse is her ANTI-STADIUM Tour is NOT sold out even tho tickets are Dirt Cheap & no where near as extendsive as the 1989 tour. MAJOR FLOP. Anti tour revenue wont even be a 3rd of 1989… and even so… just Barely.

    • HailBeysus February 18, 2016

      If she doesn’t out gross Taylor ??????????????????

  28. DIABETES UNBOTHERED February 18, 2016

    I expect the CANTI tour to gross just $95 million & album sells 450 k & 700k ww. And all that ish the navy talked about THE FLOP PRINT. this album selling SLOW ASF. NIKKI CULD NEVA GAGA CULD NEVA KATTY CULD NEVA!!! Watch Bey sell more 1st week. It will be Adele part 2 this year. All bey needs is ONE Drunk in love sized hit & its GAME OVER!!

  29. What now February 18, 2016

    Not 2013 receipts KIII. The meltdowns…

  30. DIABETES UNBOTHERED February 18, 2016

    Btw… i know my sales predictions are high for Rih but i aimed high just to show the navy how BASIC their fav is that she wont even sell that. No grammy or #1 hit & she can forget about Forbes. The navy will be on s****** watch if She cancels the whole tour due to non sells. #ILIVE!

    • killian February 19, 2016

      Lol you’re a beast!!!

  31. DIABETES UNBOTHERED February 18, 2016

    THE BRAVERY & BLUNT AUDACITY to think she was big enough to announce a tour woth no hit single or album out. She tried pulling anoth Bey and IT FAILED cuz even after dropping tickets still unsold. & then we have the Adele album & tour & Beys tour making things worse. Poor thing having grammy meltdowns now cuz couldnt even swallow being in the same room with bey adele and taylor… it was all too much. #POORFRIH

    • HailBeysus February 18, 2016

      Screaming!!! Ya betta preach!!!!

  32. music all the way February 18, 2016

    I love Rihanna but damn her fans acted like she was immune to flopping. To all this people complaining about Rihanna getting dragged, I have been coming to this site since 2011 and believe me the navy have torn every artist into pieces,, From Gaga, Ketty Perry, Nicki, Lana, Rita to Beyonce so that explains why almost every fan base is dragging her and her fans.

    um so pissed at her honestly, this album is a mess (I don’t care for the flopping). I didn’t wait this long to be served this half baked crap, and to think that some of you have the balls to compare it to Rated R is really insulting, this is her worst album to date. Unapologetic shits on this mess of an album, diamonds alone buries this crap. And now this Grammies stunt she pulled,, aggg! I can’t with her this era.

  33. briano 1 February 18, 2016

    She is not flopping

    This pseudo reAlity these losers are determined to make would be laughable if it wasnt so sad

  34. King Mark111 /.\ February 18, 2016

    Pest callin Flopmation having impact, but on what? Twitter for a day? ok….

    • Tyler Makiavelli February 18, 2016

      Oh I don’t know,it’s only gotten coverage from THE POLICE FORCE, CNN, ABC, and Fox News.
      But that’s all……

  35. King B February 19, 2016

    Beyoncé at home singing ” I’m a SURVIVOR!” Yes. She survive each era from the BRITNEY ERA TO ASHANTI TO NELLY TO GAGA TO RIHANNA.

  36. janvier February 19, 2016

    Poor frih just poor her

  37. yesterday was Aaliyah 37birthday to the good music February 21, 2016

    Good for future and Rihanna album may not do that good
