What promo did Joanne receive at the Grammys tho? Are we talking about the same Grammys she performed at with Metallica? Work was included in those 1.47 million copies of ANTI gifted by Samsung, so the fact that it went #1 and for 9 weeks at that, despite already being given away is a testament of Rihanna's power. Oh, and those 645K copies were fully priced after the giveaway. If you think 645K copies despite all that is less impressive than Gaga selling 500K with discounts and performances in front of 25+ million and 100+ milllion people, you clearly have on rose colored glasses. Remember, Rihanna didn't perform at the Grammys this era, nor did she perform in front of over 100 million Americans. Whatever helps you sleep at night though.

Lady Claire Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Queen Btw, if you don't stan for Adele, Taylor or Beyoncé, you have no right to come for these sales since y'all faves only sold like 100k-something more or less than Joanne in US And don't come with that "streaming" bull**** cause we're talking about real sales here. Gaga did great and y'all better DEAL.
Daniel767 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Im impressed .. that album is trash (not ARTPOP trash, but close) .. so the fact that it has sold so much ..good for her.
H-I-M Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) So the Navi is claiming that Rihanna is today capable of moving 2 millions copies of her album, with just one hit single ? Like let's be honest, it has never happened in 8 eras and it surely wouldn't happen in today's declining market. This will just backfire next Era when there won't be no Samsung fake downloads to cling to. Edited March 30, 2017 by H-I-M

DELE2125 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Not impressive tbh... Even Panic! At The Disco could sell that amount... And Joanne wasn't released 1 year after Anti They were released 8 months apart... And Anti, besides selling 650k, has also been streamed over 1M times on Spotify + all of her tracks has more YT streams as well than Joanne's singles...

"A few"? 24K Magic did, Starboy did, Hardwire To Self Destruction did, Hamilton Soundtrack did, Trolls Soundtrack did, Drake did, Sheeran did, Beyonce did, Panic! At The Disco did, etc... So, yeah, not really "impressive" for Joanne at all. Edited March 30, 2017 by DELE2125
Cheetos Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 So she's sold more than 2 million albums in the United States since 2013? Slay!

Phoenixstar Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Why are the navy doing the most, my gosh? Come thru, Gaga! The consistency in the last three albums

Sis panic at the disco are huge in their demographic so idk what the attempted shade was there. Just because we don't listen to them as pop music fans doesn't mean they aren't huge

How many people do you think would have bought a copy of it out of those 1.47M? I downloaded one in Canada so I could add it to my music early, and I only stream music.

ONIKACRAZY Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 10 hours ago, Pop said: and wasn't that album released a year before Joanne + had 7 singles released? That's really impressive for Joanne. ANTi had 4 singles, with only 3 of them receiving videos (the same amount of videos as Joanne). Anti was given away for free over 1 million times and did not have a Superbowl performance to help sell the album. It was also only released like 9 months apart, not a year. Joanne had holidays sales (4th quarter release) to help increase sales too, whereas Anti was released in January when sales are usually lowest. Anti also had no singles released prior to its release, other than Work which was released a day before. But keep trying
