Rap-Up.com || Rihanna Makes Noise on Charts with No. 1 Single, First-Week Album Sales

That Rihanna reign just won’t let up. The pop siren has lots to be thankful for this Thanksgiving after scoring her career best on the charts this week.

The red-haired singer swoops in at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 207,000 copies sold of her fifth album Loud, earning her a career best in first-week sales and her fifth top 10 bow.

Meanwhile, RiRi claims her ninth No. 1 single with “Only Girl (In the World),” a feat that puts her in prestigious territory. With the accomplishment, the Bajan crooner becomes the only artist since 2000 to have as many chart-topping singles, besting Usher who has scored eight No. 1s since the start of the decade. Not only that, but “Only Girl” becomes her fourth No. 1 single this year, making her the first female and first overall artist since Usher to nab as many No. 1 tracks in a year, according to Billboard.

She celebrated by sharing her excitement on Twitter. “Only Girl is no. 1!!! HOLY FUCK!!! And thx to u guys, I’ve had the biggest first week of all my albums so far! #whosloud ???? We are bitches,” she wrote. “Congrats to RihannaNavy! We breakin our OWN records!!! 9 no.1′s baby…We got the #CenturyOnLockWho’s badder than yall??”

After holding down the top spot two weeks ago, her second single “What’s My Name?” drops 7-8 on the Hot 100, while the Drake-assisted collaboration earns Airplay Gainer for the fourth consecutive week.

Keeping Rihanna company on the Billboard 200 is Scottish singer Susan Boyle, who bows at No. 1 with 335,000 copies sold of her holiday album The Gift, while Nelly’s 5.0 enters at No. 10 with 63,000 units.

I was hoping that “Only Girl” would make it to #1 this week. WOW is all I have to say. Good for her. And regarding the album, it’s about damn time one of her albums sells over 200,000 copies in its first week. For such a global phenomenon and being so successful in the U.S, I always scratched my head over her album sales. I still can’t believe with all the hype she had last year with ‘Rated R’ that it only sold 180,000 in its first week. I remember like 2 months before it came out I was predicting she would sell well over 350,000 in her first week. Hopefully the sales for “LOUD” will continue throughout the holiday season. GO RIHANNA!!

When you really think about it, it’s not really that much of a surprise Susan Boyle sold more albums than Rihanna. Look at their audiences.

Boyle controls an audience that still actually buys albums (how man 40+ year old woman do you know that know how to use torrents?) Rihanna has the pleasure and crutch of tending to the youth and young adults of America, a group of people who rarely buy albums.

Rihanna has had two Billboard Hot 100s in the past 4 weeks, because she appeals to a large audience, however that audience would prefer download albums then paying artists for their work.

@Shileee wait, where do you come from? Why do you type in such a terrible manner? Get off that rent a centre computer and get an education bitch. No one cares about Beyonce’s #1 albums. Go listen to them if they’re that important. Dumbass. B’day debuted at #1 with 541000 yet has sold (over) 2 million less than Good Girl Gone Bad which came out nearly a year later and did only 160000 in it’s own first week.
I get why you’d be mad…lmao. LOUD ‘suxxxxx’? Is that why the critics rated it higher than any of Beyonce’s albums? Lmfao. Girl please. Rated R has been out only a year and has done 3.2 million. Around the same I Am Sasha Fierce did in it’s first year. So why you mad? And let’s not forget Beyonce had to release a million singles and re-release after re-release to push those figures.
Go pat your lacefront or something. Lmao. Ugly hating ass bitches. And yes, I know you’re ugly. You will just have to deal with it.

@Yes!!, Rihanna just wastes music, she releases rated r and then that was a flop so in the space of just a year releases another album to make up for it, Beyonce doesnt waste music as she releases as many singles as she can from the albums whch is what a true artist should do, i mean if an artist has put so much time and energy into making an album then they might as well use the album to its full potential like Beyonce does. Plus, Rihanna has 7 number ones actually, your countin live your life and love the way you lie which were not her songs, they were TI’s and eminems. Also, Rihanna has got 7 number ones but then shes got five albums out, whereas Beyonce has had 4 number ones with only 3 albums meaning the ratio of number ones to album releases works in Beyonces favour.

I am not pressed about rihanna 9#1s but how can you call her the best when she is very ordinary at selling everything else beside singles?
she is a single artist therefore i expect many more #1s from her.
@ yes!! – Rihanna cant ‘drain’ her album like beyonce because unlike rihanna, beyonce pays for her sh*T and release videos(not singles) just because she can.

Both got platinum albums/ grammy’s/#1 singles etc…leave that shit be ok. We get it Beyonce is better and Rihanna is a singles artist(which makes prefect sense because that’s what an artist is suppose to do, put out hits right?)

THEY BOTH ARE OUTSTANDING ARTISTS & ALL THIS Rih VS Bey NEEDS TO STOP!!!

Congratz and her sales just keep getting better. I would expect them to decline but none have declined which means she hasn’t peaked which also means there is more to come. I’d say she’s got 5 years in the game before she peaks after that its up to her to seal her spot in the game to later on be respected and remembered as an icon. A lot of artists like Usher have peaked but they still have that fan base and hits to keep them going for years to come. Good luck to RiRi! I think she’ll be fine.

Beyonce’s I Am Sasha Fierce has done a little over twice that amount and it came out a full year later. Plus she did that with a million re-releases. Is SHE a flop too?? Rated R a flop? With Rude Boy #1 for 5 weeks? And 3 top ten hits?? YEEES FOR RIHANNA’S FLOPPING CAREER. She’s just gonna keep flopping all the way to the top and you will have to DEAL WITH IT.

@ Gavin- VERY GOOD POINT. Rihanna’s fanbase is obviously a lot younger than Susan Boyle’s and it’s unfortunate because todays youth is growing up in the digital era where “buying” albums is rare. Susan Boyle’s fanbase grew up when buying albums was the only way to get music before computers even came along. At 22 years old I am lucky I bought CD’s when I was younger because I still do. That’s the most exciting way to get music IMO. I love waiting for the album release and actually going out and supporting the artist and getting a physical copy. A majority of Rihanna’s fanbase probably got her album for free online. DAMN SHAME.

I bet Bey scorns the day Jay-z ever discovered this chick. Nonetheless, they are each in their own lanes. No need to compare. Regardless of what anyone says, Nine #1s is a big deal. If it wasn’t then everybody would have #1 hits, Right? Rihanna’s style is diff from Bey’s. She makes hits and Bey sales albums. So it comes down to making money vs. making good quality music. Sometimes artist are able to achieve both and sometimes Not. I do find it kinda interesting that Jay, Kanye and other major artist will feat Rihanna on tracks before they feat Bey. But who needs a Jay or Ye feat when you got GaGa? I like them both but I love RiRi’s swagga. Bey got swagga too but, I just like Ri’s better.

@Rihanna baby like I said. RiRi is making hits. If she didn’t have talent she wouldn’t make hits right? If Bey was so much better than Rihanna the billboards would show it. Where are her number ones? I’ll admit Bey is hot right now but her reign is slowly coming to an end. Riri is all already picking up her slack. Besides uncle Jay getting old as hell, she gone have to spit out some babies soon. When people talk about artist they mention #1 HITs first Not album sales. When people talk about Janet, Whitney, Mary J, R. Kelly they FIRST mention the number of hit records they have before the albums they sold. so her #1 hits do indeed reflect that she has talent. I am in no way even attempting to compare RiRi to the legends above bit one day I will be able to…One lighter note I’m so ready for Beys knew album. Like I said I love them both.

Rihanna is the most MAINSTREAMED artist out there, don’t get me wrong now, she a good artist BUT she is not the best, she’s jumpin all over different genres. Think she needs to focuse on what she is, not dropping hit after hit. She has been doin everythin from west-indian to rock, pop or whatever and yall think everythin she puts out is a masterpiece just bcuz it’s Rhi, well it ain’t. And whenever a new artist put up their stuff yall say she is trying to copy Rihanna AND that is bcuz Rihanna has done all genres as I said.

Hits are what count in the industry. Jay-z is slowly but surely grooming Ri for the takeova as soon as he can knock Bey up. Why else would she take her talents to Roc Nation. Artists are here to entertAin. Hell Bey started off an R&B diva and now she’s a damn pop star!!!!!!She don’t even make quality R&B songs no more but u buy her albums any way just like I buy Riri’s because I want to be entertained!!!!

@Destiny

that’s a reason why she is as big as she is…her music isnt in a box…she’s done literally everything but country! the idea of quality music and bad music can’t even be said for rihanna because when you have NINE #1′S ppl LOOOOVE your music, not like but LOOOVE enough to request and buy…and plus her music doesnt sound da same as the haters say, cuz she DOES do different genres, soooooo…

only 207,000 copies, wow, i honestly thought Loud was going to sell like 350,000 copies because there is no reason that Rihanna shouldn’t be selling that much. I am not a fan of hers, but I was like ” oh yeah, Loud is going to be #1 and she’s going to get her first #1 album” and then Susan Boyle came out of no where and sold 315,000 albums. I’m not even hating on Rihanna, but I really think she is just a singles artist. Like how can u have 9 #1′s and 5 albums and none of them hitting #1 in your base country. Didn’t she cancel almost 10 shows from her last tour because her ticket sales were low, maybe people just like her songs and videos and aren’t really concerned about her albums, but hopefully Rihanna an really get the level a real superstar like Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears.

this industry is sad. The only reason why this chick is makin #s is cuz of her CLICHE music. Her songs are ALL club shit. Artists like Gaga, Beyonce make REAL music. At the end of the day TALENT shits over hit records. Honestly whose gona be known as a legend? Rihanna or Beyonce? Lmaooo BEYONCE!!!!!!!!!! Rihanna can have 20 #1′s and Beyonce will still be more respected as an artist and as a person. Now…. U MAD BUT SO WHAT? *Breezy Voice* So RIHTARD keep making them hit records, just know u will NEVER be on Beyonce’s level! Point blank period! *Evil laugh* Oh and how is Chrisbrown a flop? Last time i checked flops dont get GRAMMY NOMINTAIONS OFF A MIXTAPE? Oh and his 3rd album that flopped got a grammy while RATED R AINT GET SHIT. LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO GOD IS AMAZING DONT U THINK? And another grammy nom for a song that was NEVER released as a single got a nomination. MAD? Breezy&Beyonce>>>>>>>>>>>>
