Remember too, that those ninety nine cent downloads ended up being less than ten percent of her overall Worldwide sales. Anti is not going to end up selling 20 million copies. This first week giveaway will more than likely make up a large portion of her total sales. Sorry to say this but the 99 cent sale was about 1/3 of her US total sales. It's wasn't a worldwide thing. ( I love Gaga so I'm not trying to hate on her). Also who cares if they are giving it away for free. If people are enjoying the album that's what matters. There are people that paid 99 cents and some that paid full price on BTW yet they both enjoyed the album equally. Practically everyone on this site praised Miley for releasing and album for free now everyone is hating on Rihanna lol. Everyone is so obsessed with sales.

A third of her first week sales in the US, not of her total sales. The album still sold well in the US the week it was offered at 99 cents and across the world and continued to sell after that. I don't care if they give the album away for free or not, but a million copies given away for free can't be compared to albums that people actually purchased with money. I don't care about Miley's album either and never did praise her for that mess she released. These two situations are partially similar. Miley gave away her album because her label wasn't putting their name on that mess and Rihanna is doing it to avoid the embarrassment and bad press that would come with this album project that has fallen apart.

Sis. Can you tell rihanna that I love her?

She will do the tour and move on to a new era as soon as possible. This was the only way to end this cluster**** of an era and not hurt the upcoming tour. I said they should give it away for free months ago...and that's exactly what they did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
