Rihanna Beats Chris Brown
Rihanna has beaten Chris Brown pretty badly ... in terms of first-week album sales for their newly-released efforts. Not the way Chris ... well, you know.
Brown's new album Graffiti debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard charts, selling 102,000 copies (Susan Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream sold 582,000 at No. 1).
That's quite a bit less than his ex, Rihanna, sold when Rated R debuted last month, entering the charts at No. 3 with sales of 181,000 in its first week.
Chris' sales didn't knock any socks off, but could've been worse.
Imagine if Walmart actually refused to sell Brown's CD - as "MechanicalDummy" (emphasis on Dummy) himself erroneously ranted on Twitter Monday.
Or imagine if he hadn't beaten the crap out of Rihanna.
Still, 102,000 isn't too bad. It's 20 percent of the way to gold certification in one week, and after the way his year began, those sales look pretty solid.
He might wanna check his facts before Tweeting, though.
Monday, the "Changed Man" threw an online hissy fit over a perceived slight by Walmart. After visiting a Connecticut store that didn't have his album, Chris flipped out over the (incorrect) assumption that the retail giant banned him altogether.
"I'm tired of this s--t," he wrote on his now defunct account. "Major stores r blackballing my CD. Not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers."
Graffiti is, by all accounts, fully stocked by the Wal, however. Either Chris just didn't see it or that particular store just hadn't put it out yet.
Either way, don't quit anger management classes yet, C-dog.

Yeah, I couldn't find a copy in my city in Georgia, either. So there was some truth to what he said. Being a fan of both of them, I can honestly say I agree with sweety 5831. I bought both albums and I play Graffiti a lot more than I play Rated R.

Erroneous my ass. I know for a fact the Wal Mart where I live didn't sell it. I had to order my copy.

Haha all of you hating on Chris are jokes!!!!Your imperfect asses need to get a grip.... Chris CD is Great!!! and RiRi is Shitty... I cant even stand the damn CD!!!! Everything happens for a reason maybe Chris wanted to be the demon out of the devil worshipper! Who knows either way both of them were wrong, neither one of them should have hittin each other so stop hatin... to be honest if a bitch hit me with a high heel shoe i would have beaten her ass too... All this over a phone call...please!
