Didn't Rihanna have a huge fanbase around 2010-2013? Nowadays, sure, not much left

She always relied on hit singles, radio, GP.  her first week album sales were lower than  Beyoncé, Gaga, Taylor, and P!nk at that time. Her biggest week sold less than ARTPOP.

Music Of The Sun: 69K
A Girl Like Me: 115K
Good Girl Gone Bad: 162K
Rated R: 181K
Loud: 207K
Talk That Talk: 198K
Unapologetic: 238K → Rihanna's first #1 album and best-selling opening week of her career
ANTI: 16K [Billboard didn't count 1M copies brought by Samsung and gave away as a free download to fans as part of Rihanna's $25M deal]/ 166K units - 2nd week

Mayhem - 45.5M

mayhem first 9 tracks( excluding dwas ) got 29.8m

So almost 20M came from SOAM, The Beast and BOG alone? That’s truly impressive!!! SOAM should’ve been the third single

I mean idk if she ever had a committed fan base.

Obviously the navy were loud, but how many people do you know who were in it? 

I knew loads of folks who liked Rihanna and everyone in the UK that I knew had the rihanna loud t shirt from primark with the beige skinny chinos.

But idk how many people were rihanna stans.

Let’s wait and see what the opening sales are, there doesn’t seem to be much hype or promo. 

So much for collabga 

[PartySick 170,349]

Oh, I read "275m" not "27.5m"

That's significantly less impressive

In b4 Bruno should do darkpop in this next album 

safest album tbh but I guess I’d take this more than anything else that’s remixed and shoved to every playlist
