March 15, 200817 yr Author I have to say, Rihanna may shift a bucket load of singles, but her total for "Good Girl Gone Bad" is disappointing. Edited March 15, 200817 yr by britster
March 15, 200817 yr I have to say, Rihanna may shift a bucket load of singles, but her total for "Good Girl Gone Bad" is disappointing. I know! I thought she was 2x platinum!?
March 15, 200817 yr Author I have to say, Rihanna may shift a bucket load of singles, but her total for "Good Girl Gone Bad" is disappointing.I know! I thought she was 2x platinum!? No wonder they're re-releasing her album with new tracks.
March 15, 200817 yr Author very low sales in general.... but shockingly low for Rihanna and Timbaland!!! Particularly when you consider US digital sales of their songs:Timbaland - Apologise (3.18m)Timbaland - The Way I Are (at least 2m)Rihanna - Umbrella (at least 2.6m)Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music (1.36m)
March 15, 200817 yr wow, disney sells hands over fists of HSM/Hannah Montana. Who would have thought people like Beyonce and Rihanna would be outsold by a 15 year old girl whos songs are made in about the space of an hour! kids today eh?
March 15, 200817 yr I really find it hard to believe Rihanna's sales :blink: Every single has been a hit from the album! 3 Top 10's and a Top 15, which is excellent -_- then the album sales are just over a million :mellow: Her last album shifted like 1.5 mil in the US, off 2 hits. Confuses me -_-
March 15, 200817 yr Author The sales figure for Rihanna is correct :o . I found this on Billboard: Rihanna Re-Releases "Good Girl" With New Ne-Yo Track March 14, 2008, 6:30 PM ET Hillary Crosley, N.Y. Rihanna will release a new version of her hit 2007 album, "Good Girl Gone Bad," on May 27 via Def Jam Records. The revamped set will feature new a single called "Take A Bow." The track, about a deceiving partner, was written by Ne-Yo and produced by Stargate. It was made available to media outlets today (March 14) via the label's website. An accompanying video is slated to be recorded and released in coming weeks, although dates have not been announced as of press time. "Good Girl Gone Bad" reached No. 2 on The Billboard 200 and No. 3 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts following its initial release on June 5, 2007. To date, the album has sold 1.1 million copies in the United States according to Nielsen Soundscan. Meanwhile, "Umbrella," the set's first single, topped both the Pop and Hot 100.

March 16, 200817 yr Author Rihanna's sold less than Keyshia Cole and Mary J Blige? :blink: Looking at the chart run for "Good Girl Gone Bad" from flatdeejay's "US Charts Analysis (22/03/2008)" thread: 47. ( 45) 40w [ 2] GOOD GIRL GONE BAD RIHANNA Date of entry: 23/06/2007 Chart run: 2-7-12-14-14-18-16-14-16-17-23-27-24-21-18-29-40-47-54-41-51-56-61-76-53-71-80-78-80-63-61-59-55-45-51-46-35-38-45-47 and comparing it to the chart runs of artists like "Keyshia Cole" and "Colbie Caillat" ... Rihanna's album has spent more time in the lower echelons of the chart.
