:laugh2:

She will be number 1 lol, WW it should do okay at the end of the first week, not matching BTW of course but that was sold for 99p on Amazon I think

Yes 200k is ok but compared to BTW it's absolutely embarassing and is a clear sign she is no longer the force she once was, which is what this thread is about, no idea why people are bringing Rihanna up :conf2:

Yes Salman because you never bring up Gaga in other music threads lol

Rihanna eight years into her career is still one of the biggest stars in the world

Gaga is like 4/5 years into her career and is disappearing already whereas in Rihanna's case she was peaking higher than ever before with Loud.. and is still showing no real sign of a decline

cya gags http://i.imgur.com/ic8UY6m.gif

I don't get why GaGa is doing so badly? Eminem is selling like 3x more than her

You clearly wanted Rihanna to be mentioned :laugh: tbh it'll do alright, I'm not hoping for millions... but Venus and Dope (neither being actual singles) debuted in the top tens of quite a few countries, she's not doing as badly as anybody is making out.

Leona Lewis 'Echo' sold 2.5m with just 1 worldwide single and is considered a flop.

Yeah, no decline at all. None whatsoever. :idc:

Well it isn't a flop then Jack lol

Also: 'According to midweek sales figures the record – her first long-player since 2011′s Born This Way – has shifted over 47,000 copies since it was released on Monday – and looks set to knock Eminem’s Marshall Mathers LP2 from the top spot come Sunday.

The album is also currently outselling its nearest competitor – Celine Dion’s Love Me Back To Life – by an impressive 17,000 sales.'

Not too shabby

That's in the UK btw

How has Celine sold so much :s I swear she only has that 1 song

What have reviews got to do with anything

I'm talking about star power

And anyway she's like decreasing by 2-3 points, big deal. GGGB and Rated R were one off masterpieces that are difficult to replicate so they don't count

This is air traffic, prepare for crash landing.

I swear you didn't even like Rated R compared to her other work

think we all know which monster is fuming the most.

Can we just erase that from our minds please

Done :laugh: tbh I honestly find the whole 'flop', '**** sales', 'no number ones' arguments rather silly really, if you like it just listen to it, if it sells, it sells lol.

meanwhile, Avril Lavignes new album 'Avril Lavigne' debuted with 45k

I feel bad for Avril :(

Isn't ARTPOP Number 1 in like a million territories tho

It was in 82 countires but Smithy is more clued up than me lol

Doesn't that negate this thread then :suspect:

No because this is about sales, not the position it lands :p surely WW it will hit about 700K if it's being predicted 300K in America alone? :suspect:
