Rihanna's 'ANTi' earns lowest sales figure for a #1 album in Billboard history...

Rihanna's 'ANTi' which returns to the top spot this week, earns the lowest sales figure for a #1 album in Billboard history with 17,000 units.
That's 17,000 in pure sales. It's not exactly the type of historic achievement one would shout about from the rooftops. On the bright side, she has the #1 album and #1 single ('Work') on Billboard after almost two months of the music being released. With other factors included, the album stats for this week is bumped up to 54,000 units, but that's not really saying much. Without streaming sales, ANTi would've barely made it into the top 10.

The album's second single is officially confirmed to be 'Needed Me', which impacts radio March 29th. Rihanna shot a music video for it this week. In related news, doesn't she look fierce in her new Puma ad?
