I can't wait to up this thread in 6 months...this chick is the queen of the slow burn. She never does Adele numbers out the gate but ends up outselling most of everyone else.

For some reason my post didn't come through right but the second quote from me has nothing to do with rhianna. Folks were discussing tinache's looks and music both of which in my opinion are over-rated. Thats not hating considering she really flopped and she really doesnt have much of a body. If she sold 100 million records i would congratulate her too. I'm not a fan of rhiannas music by the way either. I think 90 percent of her stuff is trash too but this thread wasnt about musical opinions.

went platinum first week.. sold 20k 2nd week :mjpls:

She went platinum in 14 hrs (the giveaway samsund deal) and she sold a little over 150k the first week (It was really the 2nd week, her 1st week didn't count b/c it was only a few hrs).

What is a 100m song award? Does that mean she's sold 100 million singles?

Yes. She is the first and only artist to sell 100 million singles in the U.S. This doesn't include outside of the u.s. It would be much higher if it did.

And why are Rihanna threads posted here? Cuz she black she,s hip-hop? You online marketing team cats gotta do better. Post to those who care about her, aka her own fans.

This is hip-hop
Rihanna is posted here b/c this is the music section. This album was also released on tidal first. Owned by rapper Jayz, who rihanna is/was also signed with.
she sold 100k first week. if you're a pop artist and you sell only 100k you flopped

her career is done, all the singles flopped (by her previous standards), 20K second week sales after a :duck: mill the first week

I need someone to explain this to me

She sold over 100k. That is far from a flop for anyone in the music industry.

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.

Finally! Someone who knows what they're talking about. :blessed:

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

You know too :blessed:

I think consideration might be next. judging from a tweet that sza made.
She sold 170k all her albums are in that range and of this time she gave it away for free too :what:

150-250k that's like the range for most of these single based broads. The ones that go above that are the ones with major fan bases in all ages (like Adele, B, Justin and Taylor).

You know too :blessed:

Nah, she just made an album that she actually likes. She made an "album" and not one of hits. You know damn well them Rihanna remixes coming this summer lol. She wanted awards for this one. The Beyonce thing is her own fault because she kept scrapping the album. The album will have legs because she is about to go on world tour.

The grammy performance will boost her sales as well.

This is very true.

So what she's on a label by Jay-Z? Foh with them semantics. She still a pop singer, she doesn't belong here. Take your marketing elsewhere where people care about her.

This hip-hop. Cuz she black she hip-hop? Cuz she SIGNED to a label owned by a rapper that makes HER hip-hop? Foh.

Personally I want The Booth to discover hip-hop as well as any culturally relevant music . . because I want The Booths say in these things

Nah. Becomes to cluttered & eventually turns into random babble. There's other sections on Coli, so t/s should've taken it there.
