Rihanna's first week sales estimates are in and I guess the answer to her question would be...No. Many of us didn't.
According to Hits Daily Double Rihanna is set to move only 180,000 units of Loud in it's first week, good enough for one of the top 5 slots on the Billboard chart but certainly not at #1. RiRi isn't worried about sales, though. She tells Hot97's Angie Martinez,
“Never have I ever stressed out on the first week. Ever since ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’, the first week was like 160[,000], and it grew to sell nine million albums. The first week never determines what the success of the album will be.”
Rihanna plans to head out on tour to support Loud just as soon as she finishes the Australian, Asian and Brazilian legs of her Last Girl On Earth tour.
