lonnie Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 3 minutes ago, Bey Admired said: This is funny but I’m genuinely not trying to set her up. 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. I mean I'm a Rih stan but I can readily admit that Rih has never been a big first week seller like Taylor, Adele, Bey, Gaga and Britney. She's just never had huge first week numbers like the other girls and has sold more in the long-run than she does those first weeks. She may do well, nothing is guaranteed and I agree with those that point out that Twitter hype doesn't necessarily translate to sales. We know next to nothing about the album and so we really can't say what angle she'll go with to even make predictions. But comparisons to Taylor and Adele make no sense and it's low-key delusional to think Rih will be doing their first week numbers if she ever does drop.

supertiffany Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 bringing Taylor doesnt make sense because unlike Adele and Rihanna, she never had a comeback album after a long hiatus, well technically there's reputation but that isnt a 4 to 5 year wait.

Ethereaaal Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) It's going to be her most successful debut by a lot; if not, it will still be successful methinks. There's really hype around her music, and I feel like a lot of people are aware and conscious that she has not released in a long while (people did not just forget about her).

Cloröx Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 On serious note, I don't expect Rih to break streaming records, she's kind of artist that slays in longevity not bombastic huge first week OP needs therapy real bad, wish a speedy recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of her albums have at least done 16x their first week's numbers in the end. MOTS (9x pure) (16x with streams) AGLM (12x pure) (21x with streams) GGGB (19x pure) (42x with streams) RR (7x pure) (16x with streams) Loud (10x pure) (20x with streams) TTT (7x pure) (18x with streams) Una (6x pure) (16x with streams) Anti (47x pure) (280x with streams) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brishka Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Rih is a nostalgia act from the 00s. Do you really think that teenagers are waiting for her comeback with bated breath when she has been replaced by girls like Dua and Ariana? Only old gays on ATRL think that the GP cares about Rihanna's comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzmyth Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 TBH it all depends on how she plays the comeback. If the music is good... if she promotes... if she takes the time between singles... I mean if she does a 'rennaissance' or a '30' where she comes back with nice music but pays dust to videos and promo... then... she wont do much, she will do just in the name of her being Rihanna. But if she does her usual rollout, first, second single before the album, let her music into TikTok... interviews and magazines, performances... Push like 4-5 singles in the album... then... she could really do amazing numbers I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
