I think by the end of this era, Rated R will have sold over 4 million copies worldwide. Also, tours bring up album sales too so donРІР‚в„ўt count that out. Just give it some time, release РІР‚СљPhotographsРІР‚Сњ for the summer internationally and РІР‚СљRock Star 101РІР‚Сњ for the US and Canada and she will be fine. Her single РІР‚СљRude BoyРІР‚Сњ is burning up the charts right now and will defintely push the album past 1 million for sure. That song received acclaim but it was only released in the US, yet charted internationally. Just look at the singles: РІР‚СљRussian RouletteРІР‚Сњ was a dark ballad and those never sell really well. She took a risk with this album and I absolutely respect her even more because of that. Wait until in passes 1,000,000 in actual sales which is only 336,000 copies away! The album has sold over 2 million worldwide! Just let it do itРІР‚в„ўs thing, IРІР‚в„ўm sure the record label already braced themselves for this because lets face it, itРІР‚в„ўs a great album but not the type of album that generates millions like GGGB did. SheРІР‚в„ўs got a track with Guetta and some more uptempo tracks to bring Rated R out of the dark and into the light. SheРІР‚в„ўs doing a РІР‚СљReloadedРІР‚Сњ version with some new tracks in addition to the album. As for the new album, fans should expect more РІР‚СљdanceРІР‚Сњ songs in the same vein of Good Girl Gone BadРІР‚Вs smash РІР‚СљDonРІР‚в„ўt Stop The Music.РІР‚Сњ Our source says РІР‚СљRude BoyРІР‚Сњ will likely be Rated RРІР‚Вs final single with the new album and tour taking priority after promotion ends. The album has been certified platinum in the United States and has had two top 10 singles with another, the snappy island-flavored РІР‚СљRude Boy,РІР‚Сњ moving up the charts quickly, but it appears it hasnРІР‚в„ўt yet lived up to the labelРІР‚в„ўs big projections or massive investments. The label is said to be unhappy with Rated RРІР‚Вs current performance. While the source at Def Jam tells Ikon the quick push to release a new album is because РІР‚СљRi wants to get across that sheРІР‚в„ўs moved on from the dark period she was in when recording the РІР‚ВRated RРІР‚в„ў songs,РІР‚Сњ our source says thatРІР‚в„ўs only part of the reason. can confirm the reports are true, as we were tipped off by another record label source a couple weeks ago and were waiting for details to be confirmed before the info leaked. UK blogger Johnny Ikon, citing a source at RihannaРІР‚в„ўs record label, Def Jam, reports the pop star will be releasing an album of all new material this summer. Rihanna has promised her next album will have a lighter sound than what fans heard on her fourth album, Rated R, and turns out, we wonРІР‚в„ўt have to wait very long to hear it.
