Back in the early 90s these would be flop-mediocre sales.

No shade but where's Nicki? I thought she was doing better than Kanye. And I can't believe Ke$ha's at 2.1 million (I love that album though). So is Rihanna's latest album her fastest selling album worldwide or did GGGB move units faster?

She is selling more consistently than Kanye West; but that is only in the United States. She just surpassed him in US Sales this week.

Stink Friday is steadily moving units stateside, not overseas. Rihanna sold 3.2 million with GGGB in 2007 and 3.7 million in 2008. So she's pretty consistent.

Good for GaGa! <3

Wow. Albums don't sell shit nowadays.

[TwistedElegance™]

Such pitiful numbers. But, in context, Taylor and SuBo should be proud. They racked up those sales in only a couple of months.

Those figures are purely estimates by MediaTraffic. IFPI will be releasing their official list soon and Eminem's 'Recovery' is expected to be at number one.
