Squall Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 21 minutes ago, zzmyth said: I mean... you do realize that Anti is still charting in the BB200 after almost 7 years right? 4.4M units moved in the US (+1.4M from Samsung deal) (and over 10M WW) Let's not be delusional here.... Taylor and Adele may do bigger numbers... but let's not act like she sold 100K from each album. She wasn’t known as an album artist before streaming happened though. GGGB and Loud did big numbers but that’s all. Streaming turned everyone into album artist and that’s sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I think it will be massive. It'll be her first post tidal streaming debut and hopefully won't have the aweful rollout of Anti + built up hype + the goodwill anti conjured in being a mature evolved album versus her prior single collections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti + a maturing audience should have changed that. Regardless of streaming R9 will likely be her biggest debut because of her status now.

Otter Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Remember when the Rhi/Bey stans used to fight?? I'm pretty sure most Bey stans are now lowkey Navy since both artists + audiences evolved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacardo Royale Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 wait it's confirmed she's releasing an album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Also I think she can get away with a Surprise release. Ideally not a surprise but 1 weeks notice with no single. Just an announcement and pre-order. I don't see her being a big physical seller still but digital could do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think that teenagers are waiting for her comeback with bated breath when she has been replaced by girls like Dua and Ariana?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. You’re genuinely one of my favourite users here - the levels of delusion you spew are almost psychiatric-hospital worthy.

You do realize the difference between selling WorldWide and selling in the US right¿? How can you say that someone that has sold almost 40.000.000 actual albums (not units, or equivalents) has not good album sales¿? The delusion is unreal in here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypriotpcdfan Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I think so, yeah. Imo, Rihanna is currently the most universally loved celebrity figure in the world. She has won the GP, the critics, the media, the industry itself. And yes, I do believe her comeback in music will be a MASSIVE event. I'm really curious to see where she's heading, musically, though.

CrimsonX Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Rihanna has peaked and she was never a big album seller. Her whole career is smoke and mirrors and fake stats. She was smart to gracefully bow out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest selling artist to debut post-2000 in pure record sales, and one of the top two biggest selling acts in general this century in album equivalents alongside Taylor Swift? Okay Beyonce stan.

Even though I really enjoy Renaissance (her only good album) I am definitely navy. lol I’m only talking crap because she abandoned us and I really feel like we’re never getting R9.

That was an impressive 1 year album run that was cut short by another album Even the flop era 4 is bigger than anti and gggb has barely sold 10M exactly a OFTB sized era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Boy Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 The set up She'll do great obviously but not as great as her fans are expecting tbh. If she abandon the Pop crowd once again then her album will be as local as ANTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selegend Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) it will do huge numbers. but i don't think she's coming anytime sooner than 2024 so this is a so far away question to think about right now. and i also think she won't do an era, she'll just release it. that can change a lot of things too Edited September 19, 2022 by Selegend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheromosa Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Nothing is guaranteed anymore. She could flop completely I expect 200M+ streams and 200k total sales, probably zero physicals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely eligible in Switzerland, Norway, New Zealand, Brazil, Portugal, Ireland, China.... When you guys talk about being 'local' you should at least check your facts beforehand...
