DrewStevens 5,249 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 What the hell? Did her fans even tried? Obviously the free downloads affected the sales but 460? That would never happen to Gaga or Katy, not even Madonna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaXCupcakke 3,818 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 She screwed herself by giving a million copies away for free. Her team thought BB would count them, but they didn't. So she ended up with only 460. Poor RihRih. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojuun 4,159 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Wow, it really is RiriDaily up in here, huh? Look at all them threads despite being a "flop"! Listen, Rihanna's fanbase are not 45 year old housewives who are unaware of the internet. She gave away the album for free, who the hell would pay for something if you can get the same thing for free? And the fact Samsung bought every single download of the album might be "shameful" to all of you and the "popstans" community, but she has her coins from Samsung per individual download, so it's not that pathetic for her is it? RIAA declared it was platinum, so it is. Who gives a f*ck about Billboard and their stupid rules anyway, they're always late to the party, wether it's with counting streams or marketing deals like this. Y'all need to get with the times. Record sales are DEAD unless you have a really wide audience like Adele and Taylor. If Rihanna made a really well-promoted album full of Umbrella's she could've easily had amazing first week sales but she didn't because ANTi is a non-traditional urban album with a lot of dark mid-tempo's without catchy hooks and massive choruses. Rihanna is in her mid-twenties and is already over a decade in the business. She truly spawned out hits like a factory and this is her first album that's not overly mainstream and it's like the sky is falling down... She still performed all those previous hit songs, what's the big deal? ANTi has it's own little corner, it's honestly not that disappointing. It's a solid album and I'm pleasantly surprised. Could I have done with a major trap/EDM drop in Work? Sure. Could some of the songs be re-worked into radio-friendly hits? Immediately. But she didn't take that direction, so it is to be respected. And the fact she found a creative way to still release the album she wanted without risking the commercial set-back, by bringing in a deal with a third-party is actually very smart.
