There’s a difference because Rihanna is an established artist with many years under her belt, with a proven ability to sell and market herself effectively. Let’s not.

MingYouToo Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I feel like so much hype and time has passed shes at a very critical point where she needs to deliver and smash to the heavens or else the hype will quickly go down the drain a la Adele's 30.

By smash to the high heavens, do you mean a lead single that will be #1 for like, let’s say, 10 weeks? I think she can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaunzie Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 No, it won't. I have no more hype for the 'album' in question. The Navy has been in drought so long that all that is left is a desert. Hopefully Riri drowns the desert in water with a release date, because the girls are withered. Rihanna is the cloud and the navy is the lizard. Sun dried to crisp and dead for dehydration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremiah Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 15 minutes ago, Bey Admired said: I can’t imagine she will debut with less than 600k. She’s going to smash streaming records. Now you’re trolling. I don’t think anyone disagrees she’s going to smash but you’re setting expectations way too high, which would only make her comeback not as impressive if it doesn’t reach said goals. And hype, let alone TWITTER hype? May I remind you of Lorde’s Solar Power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaria Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Idk I love Rih to death and R9 is my most anticipated album ever but I feel like she waited too long. I hope I’m wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klein Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 55 minutes ago, Bey Admired said: I can’t imagine she will debut with less than 600k. She’s going to smash streaming records. Even smashing streaming records will only get her to 300-350k at the very most if she exceeds every single expectations (the female record is below 250k if I'm not mistaken). She has never done more than 238k pure sales, even in a MUCH better sales climate. Either you are delusional or you are clearly setting her up. Rihanna has always been about longevity. When (/if) she releases R9, it will obviously be her biggest first week ever, but she's not getting 600k. I'd imagine a 400k debut and an ANTI-type chart run with excellent longevity.

ithinkheknowsoutsold Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I recall OP saying 30 was gonna sell more in its first week than Lover, Folklore, and Evermore combined. I wouldn't take them too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrier Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Her streaming numbers will be monumental for sure. Will probably break records. Not Taylor or Adele level pure sales tho that's not her strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember how even the other Adele stans thought you were setting her up and accused you of being a troll. I was actually the one telling people to temper their expectations with regards to 30. I actually predicted her streaming numbers very accurately and vividly recall arguing with anti-***** in the album thread about how he was highly overestimating her numbers in what is a very different time in the music industry. I was also quite accurate with my Renaissance predictions. I don’t see why this should be any different. I am very good at gauging hype and predicting debut numbers. Don’t hate me because of that, please. That’s all I ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bey Admired Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 All talk, no receipts. I really shook some of the gurls up with my predictions. Do I think Rihanna is going to outsell Adele or do her pure numbers globally? Not a chance. But I do think she has a very good chance of smashing Taylor’s streaming numbers, even in the US. Now, you can disagree with me on that all you want, but my opinions and predictions ain’t changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Adele and Beyoncé, Rihanna has nothing left to prove. She can flop into oblivion and it really won’t mean a thing in the grand scheme of things. No one can take away what Rihanna has done and achieved thus far. Anything else at this point is a bonus and the cherry on top. So genuinely, this is just a fun prediction thread. Maybe I’ll end up being right, but maybe I’ll be wrong. Either way, it’s not that serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rihanna can double her numbers, Taylor's will still not pale just because someone is bigger than her. 9 hours ago, Badgalbriel said: No they will not. Adele has been bigger than Taylor for the entire past decade. Taylor's numbers never paled in comparison to her. You cannot "pale" when you are one of the 2 biggest females in music.
