Rihanna’s “Unapologetic” Debuts At No. 1 On Billboard 200!

For the first time in her career, Rihanna is atop the Billboard 200 in her first week of album sales.

With a promotional tour that was making headlines for not only her music, but the craziness around it, Rihanna has made a lot of noise with the release of her 7th studio effort Unapologetic.

It was predicted that she would finally debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and the numbers are in and Ri Ri finds herself atop the charts.

The projections had the Def Jam songstress moving between 240-260k and she came in a little shy of that, but still sold enough to finally overtake Taylor Swift’s RED juggernaut. After selling 238,949 units, Rihanna debuts at No. 1 for the first time in her career.
