But Britney sold 500k with a prime release date and one huge hit :) And Britney has always had huge debuts, so I'm not quite sure what your point is? Unless it's a lame attempt at Britney glorification? My point was if Britney can do it why not Rihanna? So fail on your part, because Rihanna and Britney are my two favorite artists. I own all of Rihanna's CD's and 8 of her singles (Each of which I paid at least $10 for.) So was that supposed to be a joke? Or was it a lame attempt at reading my mind? Because either way it didn't work out

I think Rihanna is a marathon runner, not a sprinter. She may not debut big, but in the longrun she'll do very well, especially if the singles are radio hits.

My point was if Britney can do it why not Rihanna? They're in two completely different situations obviously. Britney has built up a large enough fan-base that she'll always open big (with a "normal" era anyway) while Rihanna has shown to be more of a singles artist thus far. The whole "artist [X] was able to do it so I see no reason as to why artist [Y] couldn't!" is completely weak anyway (it's not so black and white). You are aware you can glorify one artist without being demeaning to the other simultaneously right? Apparently not. Point being, it was a horrible comparison and seemed just like another great opportunity to inject "Britney is capable of [insert random fact or statistic here] yall!"

^I don't get how I was demeaning Rihanna AT ALL. Everyone was saying "This artist couldn't open with 500k, why should Rihanna?" And I was saying Britney can open with 500k in December, if Rihanna has a december release why can't she? She is at the top of her game, and this comeback is largely anticipated. Why would I demean Rihanna anyway if she's my favorite singer, that doesn't make sense either.

^I read them, and I know you said the whole "If this artist opened with this" blah blah is weak, but I wasn't the one to start that, I was just adding my input into the conversation so there's no reason to attack it. Either way, sorry if it seemed like I was trying to praise Britney but I really wasn't trying to, but I still don't get how I was being demeaning. anyway let's stop this here. no point in fighting over something stupid

A 300-450k seems about right. Her first weeks are never spectacular but her longevity is. And the Vogue stuff would make the perfect album shoot!!! THIS THIS or better yet, THISWould make amazing album covers!

I don't think their managers are that dumb to put her to compete against Leona. Simon is to cocky to push her back, so it would be a chart war. Plus, we all know how shady Hova is, I bet he won't have the album released until 2010 so Beyjesus remains the female with most top 10 singles of the decade.

^If that were the case he would have had Beyonce's vocals on RTT instead of Rihanna, especially considering it was a strong chance it could have went to #1, allowing Ri to surpass Ms. Knowles.
And I'm pretty sure IDJ will push back Rihanna anyway. They want to ensure her first number one album. They probably still hate how she narrowly missed out to T-pain in 07.

Unfortunately for OnMyRadar there is no new Rihanna project planned, at least for this year. Maybe she will plan a comeback for 2010!

If there is an album coming out this year, wouldn't there have been a solo single released already or at least an announcement for one that's coming soon?

All she needs to do now is marry Bobby (Chris) Brown and she's set for life.
