Anyone heard this demo 'DJ Made Me Do It' before?
Obviously it's not Rihanna's voice on the demo; it's Australian singer Cassie Davis (whom I ADORE) singing the song. I don't know how Rihanna might sing the top note in the pre-chorus, but it sounds like it could fit her.
I don't know how likely that it actually is a demo for Rihanna, but Cassie did work with a lot of US names for debut album, and this song could be one that didn't make the final cut for her album and was shopped out to Rihanna's team.

Cassie has worked with Gergie and Snoop Dog to name a few. She has this bogan Australian-chick vibe to her... though I love her last song Do It Again.

I think 350k is a more reasonable estimate, even after factoring in Xmas sales. Even though she is a superstar now, she still needs to crank out hit singles to attain those sales.

Good Girl Gone Bad opened with 168k and that was with Umbrella along with coming off of a successful album; I think it's a bit presumptuous (to say the least) to expect her next album to open with "nothing less" than 500k. Rihanna is not an album artist in the US. I expect this next project to move big numbers overall but it isn't going to have some huge debut (300k is a more reasonable estimate).

GGGB made her a superstar though, something that can't be said for AGLM which was just a successful album, nothing more and nothing less. Given that it'll be released during the holiday season many will think to buy it as a gift since they'll be like 'It's Rihanna. Everybody enjoys her music' etc. At least that's what I'll do. Anw, we can agree that she'll have her biggest sales week ever with this new album whether it'll be 500k or 300k.

Yeah, I'm definitely thinking somewhere around 300-400k. As for the album's longevity, it depends on the single choices. For example, with "A Girl Like Me," her sales were steady and she was selling 50k a week for months due to "Unfaithful." And we all know how much GGGB: Reloaded helped her sales with the success of "Take a Bow" and "Disturbia."
Island Def Jam messed up when releasing "Shut Up and Drive" and "Hate That I Love You," but luckily the re-release made up for it.

I don't know why everyone always says those songs were a mistake to release. SAD is probably my second favorite single from that era and it really should have done better. HTILU was a bonafide hit. Maybe they didn't sell the album as well as they should have, but how was anyone supposed to know what kind of single would sell the album? It's pretty much a crapshoot.

I never said she wouldn't have a number one album but 500k seems like a long shot to me at this point. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Beyonce didn't even sell 500k and that was with IIWAB + Single Ladies and a prime release date.

Britneys always been a sales artist while Rihannas been a singles artist. No problemo with either.
