She has sold 100 million singles. NOt surprising because she is the best selling digital artist of all time.
Side note: whoever said 100k first week for a pop artist is a flop is delusional. Rihanna gave her album out for free then did 170k the next week and has the number 7 in the country with the Drake video probably dropping during the Grammys which she is performing at. She's straight.
I don't think people realize that people doing units are the ones people love. People don't buy albums unless they like you.
What people don't know about Rihanna is, her first week sales are never extremely high. Her last album in 2012 was the highest she's ever done in the first week (238,000) and it still went platinum and is 4x platinum worldwide. Talk that Talk did 198k first week and is 5x platinum worldwide. Anti will be "real" platinum by this time next year.
Work will obviously be a chart topper for a while then she'll probably release Kiss It Better and then Needed Me. And if those songs don't do the trip, best believe they're gonna have Sia, Esther Dean, etc on call to cook up some hits for a "reloaded" edition
