She better get dragged through the mud with all the hate ARTPOP got for not outselling her last album and having flop singles... :crossed:

I'm getting the physical later today. :giveup: The packaging looks amazing.

Finally feeling free for the night, I got no worries. Finally got a claim on my life, baby, c'est la vie. ☄️

Its kinda funny how everything is looked at in different ways. Madonna sells 116,000 copies, even with a leak, last year, and its called a failure. This sells 124,000 and its okay. I get the free download thing, but idk. I'm not saying these are bad sales but, its just interesting how people look at things.

They are both low sales numbers, tbh. Rihanna might end up having a couple of semi decent hits off of the album. I'm sure she will end up with a few hits on Urban radio formats. Those hits could keep her album selling at a decent rate, where Madonna's Rebel Heart crashed quickly. We will have to wait and see what happens over the next few months with Anti.

Runway

Yet another pop album that fails to outsell iconic Cheek to Cheek album. Talent stays winning

It was digital only. It's good for Rihanna's standards. Rihanna's albums were never about huge debut but longeviety. Her highest debut week was with Unapologetic which 238k. 
ANTI was relased digitally only last week. With physical copies it would probably be around the same ammount Unapologetic did.

Rebel Heart wasn't failure for debuting with 116k but for selling 210k overall. Madonna's album sales are frontloaded cause she has big stanbase, and she usually has big second week drops. And 116k debut is bad for such an artist

People think Madonna is still popular or something, so they are somehow shocked when her latest releases don't sell.

But Rihanna has never been an album seller and ANTI is such a mess, I literally thought it would sell less than 100,000. I'm surprised.

she is not actually that bad album seller, it's just that her sales aren't frontloaded. She has bigger GP suport than stanbase support, hence why her albums have more consistent sales.

I mean this is just average. Considering the circumstances I don't think she did bad but it's certainly underwhelming to see such a big star debut with so little. It'll be interesting to see if the physical release sustains the second week at all.
