Get Rihanna’s new album… for 99 cents!
Earlier this week Def Jam slashed the price of Rihanna’s new album Rated R to a measly $3.99 in a desperate bid to increase sales.
Well now they’ve gone one further and advertised on their official website that you can now pick up Robo’s Rated R for only 99 cents!
Yes you heard right. Amazon conveniently have a special deal going this week that allows you to get $3 worth of free MP3’s, so Def Jam are asking consumers to combine that with their special bargain bin price of Rated R, which will then allow you to cop the album for 99 cents.
Don’t Def Jam pull this kind of stunt with all their artists?
If they keep this mess up then Rihanna’s second week sales are going to be terrible!
Do you think Rated R is going to be a hit, or has RiRi reached her use-by-date?

SMDH I can’t…….
Rated R >>> G.G.G.B, but I think it may flop.
Yes. Those 1st week sales are going to be HORRIBLE! -But iWill Be Buying 20 Copies & Passing Them Out For Christmas.
I said it all in my tweets…
The RiRi haters will have a field day but hey… let ‘em! I love the girl and after the Hot 97 interview she seems geniunely happy and not bothered so I guess it makes it OK… lol
Rated R is a great album, without hesitations it is better than Good Girl Gone Bad. If you truly dislike the album then that’s totally cool but if your just checking for the instant love poppy songs then you can fuck right off this album won’t do shit for you, LOL
i dont care the bitch is disposable next
LOL….
NO I need to do homework I can’t deal with this one. Yall should have seen my brother’s reaction LOL…
Amazon has had lots of albums for $3.99 for a limited time. I doubt its desperation from Def Jam. Anyway its a good album. After 3 albums I’m sure everyone has made up their mind if they like her or not so either u will or won’t buy it, they shouldn’t need tricks. *shrugs*
To be fair Amazon sells lots of MP3
lamo.. and her stans swore “she’s gunna go number one 1st week!” “its going to be bigger than Beyonce’s album” “Russian Roulette is the best song this year and its going to be number one on every chart” People just aint feeling this “dark and moody” Rihanna. People have enough problems this year w/o hearing some depressing shit. I like Rihanna but the fun dance song Rihanna..not this fake ish that she is trying to pull.
Maybe next time.
To be fair Amazon sells lots of MP3 albums for 3.99 one every week I think and Adam Lamberts album is also 3.99 this week. Personally I love the album its very personal and a definite grower but not to sure how the public is going to take the new Rihanna.
and i dont dislike nor am I hating on Rihanna…I just dont like some of her crazed stans! they will cut you down and call you a hater quikly if you dont like their precious rih rih’s music..which is quite stupid cause I know there are some artist that the rihannas stans dont particularly care for…
Sadly, it’s not even worth that much…no shade
rihanna stans need stop making excuses
amazon normally puts debut/less known artists albums for 3.99….and rihanna has probabaly had the most promotion out of any artist this year and yet she cant sell
and rihanna is more of a singles artist. but none of her singles have been that big on the charts
How do you get the 3 dollars worth of free MP3’s? Do I just click buy the album, and it automatically takes off 3 dollars?
Um we’re not amking excuses you idiot. Mariah Carey and Jay-Z had their albums 3.99 this year on first week on Amazon… and they’re big names. Stop pinning shit on Rihanna…
I think they had to do it since her whole damn album leaked already. But a lot of artists do that now … Not at .99 but that 3.99 price.
Damn that’s sad bargain bin already Riri. Haha I’m kidding stans don’t send the illuminati after me. OK I’m done haha. But I guess you gotta do whatever to get that top spot their really trying to get her that 1st number one album. Good luck to her I’m still not really looking to buy her CD but if it hits 50 cents I’ll buy it.
Def Jam are simply pushing the WRONG girl.
If they invested HALF the promo they gave Rihanna into Amerie, they wouldnt be doing this nonsense.
Unlike Rihanna, Amerie can actually sing & dance, she writes all her damn music and knows how to work a damn stage.
Robocop aint doing shit but taking fashion shoots out on the sidewalk every other 15 minutes
haha
they really are desperate to sell the album
but doesn’t suprise me at all, her album is projected to sell about 200k, with Lady Gaga and Susan Boyle ahead (Susan is about to sell 500k and Rihanna is selling 1/3 of Susan’s sales…)
i knew she wouldn’t reach #1, if she had a super hit single, she could’ve been #2, but Lady Gaga is too much competition for her, Lady Gaga is making the kind of music that made Rihanna famous, and now that she’s going “alternative”, most people don’t support her lol
DEAD @ “Robocop aint doing shit but taking fashion shoots out on the sidewalk every other 15 minutes” by K.C
lmao
I hate when people report stuff wrong. Yes the album will be .99 but for one day on that on black Friday. Which is done every year best buy is doing the same for all there cd’s on black Friday from 4-8am
LMAO LMAO ROFLMBAO ROFLMAO LOL I SAID IT ON MONDAY. I SAID IT WAS GONNA BE .99 CENTS BY FRI. THIS IS CLASSIC. OMG. RATED R IS A FLOP AND DEF JAM TRYN TO GET NUMBER’S SO THEY CAN SAY SHE SOLD SO AND SO MANY RECORDS. BS. CLASSIC .99 CENTS
why do I have to spend 99 cents for this crappy album when I can get it free on the Internet???
she’s so desperate to sell her records.what a cunt!!
HATERSSSS
Its a classic.
Getting rave reviews. Your faves could never.
And did you see her amazing performances on GMA? AMAZING
Well the album sucks so $.99 is very fitting!
HAhAHHAHAHAHAH
this is too much
to “AS”…..our faves could anyday of the week
ha! desperate for album sales. oh Def Jams.
You mean I just bought this damn CD for $9.99!?!!?!??!???!?!!!?
*rushes to Target to get my damn money back*
its kinda of a joke..sorry ri ri but think of all the time and effort you put in just to have the whole thing sell for .99 ugh!
Rihanna peaked with Good Girl Gone Bad, and she will not ever see that same level of success again. Sorry stans, but it’s true! Umbrella 2.0 is NOT on Rated R!
Ummm its selling for 3.99 its not her fault amazon have a special on. And its not like its selling for 99 cents every where else.
This album is waaaay better than GGGB. And lol at all of you who think she is gonna fade away. SMH.
I co-sign with Phil. Umbrella was what made people pay attention and jump on the GGGB train, but Rated R won’t see that same success.
I don’t give a fuck! ‘Rated R’ is one of the best albums from a pop artist this year. Bey and GaGa could never. ‘Rated R’ will be one of those special albums that her fans cherish like Kelly’s ‘My December,’ P!nk’s ‘Try This,’ Christina’s B2B, and Britney’s BO. I liked the poppy stuff on GGGB, but the more urban material is her strength and more listenable. I’m sure Def Jam knew this album wouldn’t sell as well, but it was definitely one of the most anticipated releases of this year. R&B has never been able to compete with pop, hip hop or country, but R&B artists are hurting more than ever in the 21st century. I have never been a fan of poppy music and sales are nice, but I just want a good album and Rihanna hasn’t failed me unlike Bey and that tacky ass Michelle Branch-Kelly Clarkson rip-off of Sasha Fierce. Bey needs to try again, I don’t care if the album sales 6 million worldwide, it sucks just like her tacky weave.
I’m no Rihanna stan and I do think this is pretty funny, but it’s a one day sale.
As for the album. Unfortunately, everyone who is calling it shit doesn’t know quality music and was clearly expecting another GGGB. Rated-R is a very solid album, not only is it an obvious departure from her last sound which proves evolvment but the songs are actually very catchy. Sure, it takes a few listens but it’s a very strong CD.
I still say in a few months all of you will be eating your words and bumping Rated-R from start to finish!
Maybe you’re right Matt!
hello stans!! Lemme make it clear. It doesn’t mean when your RiRi’s album fail to meet with the same success, you just say that everyone doesn’t know shit about true music. So how much do you know what the hell is she trying to deliver in that new album??? Man, she’s cursing on every single track with meaningless lyrics. Looks like she jumps on anything that Def Jam told her. What a total puppet!!
@ Matt You are so right
and Lizzie Matt and the Prophet are not stans lol
but have you even herad teh lyrics they are not meaningless….it’s not like some other artists to this date
and if you heard her album there are like 4 songs she is actually swearing not the whole album
Lmao that’s good for that big head flop flop flop
@ Matt
How can you call an album solid when the singer has no talent? Rihanna take your own advice and “PULL THE TRIGGER”. Maybe then we can all rest. SMH
SMH @ some people seriously labeling Rihanna as a “legit singer”? are you kididng me? since when did def jam puppet become synonymous to any artistic talent? Rihanna is on par with Britney Spears. She is known for her beauty, fashion and personal life…NOT TALENT. Have you seen Britney Spears trying to be “edgy”? no! she knows that she is not a “singer”. She is fully aware that is she an “entertainer” and she does just that; provide the masses with pop-friendly seductive entertaining.
Robot-hanna, you can’t even be edgy when you have no talent. Stick to what you are good at sweety.
Sorry but theres no way she can ever be as succesful as she was during gggb.
Plus I’m sick of her trying to be dark and having all of her promo pics in black and white and trying to be sexy.
A girl like me is still my fav album
ha ha ha THATS WHAT THE FCUK YOU DELUSIONAL STANS GET… THINKIN RIHANNA HAD SH!T ON LOCK CAUSE OF ONE SUCCESSFUL CD. HA HA HA.. THIS PROVES MY POINT EVEN MORE SHE AINT REPLACING NO ONE…. OR BETTER THAN CHICKS YOU TRY TO COMPARE HER TO ESP. HER FORMER IDOL! RIH-PLACED FCUKIN SUCKS ASS AND ALL HER MILKING THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ISSUES, AND CHANGING HAIRCUTS CANT HELP HER!
THAT RIHANNA REIGN WONT LET UP EH?
MY QUESTION IS… WHEN WAS THERE EVER A RIHANNA REIGN?
SH!T IT WAS MORE LIKE A PLAGUE OF BAD SINGING AND PERFORMING!
FCUK RIHANNA! B!TCH
awwww karma is starting to rule island records.
Ohh how the mighty have fallen / lol this is a reall slap in the face to def jam , they put all this promo behind this chick to sell her album for 99 cents , she has got’n more promo then any other def jam artist , where was amerie’s ? They screw’d everyone BUT rihanna. Personally I don’t care for much of the album, i never thought shed come out #1, when has she ever sold huge albums , GGGB had like a billion singles & a trillion re-releases, other then that she’s never sold big. Idk how pple stan for her, what talent does she really have ? I mean she is one hell of a dresser but even that’s fade’ing. In other words ” its a wrap” .
Somewhere in Canada, Fefe Dobson is laughing her a** off. LMAO
I think that the album will sell something more with a release of Hard but thats all.. its a flop.. theres not even a single worthy song..
People, you can’t claim musical genius and creativity when it’s all just plain boring! I think GGGB, although quite pop, was much more of a musical departure from all her previous work before it…than this is.
On Rated-R she’s trying too hard to look deep, dark, brooding, and emo. When the bitch ain’t nothin of the sort!
It’s like she dressed up in big sister’s clothes but failed to realize that just because you dress edgy doesn’t mean a damn. Everytime she opens her mouth she sounds like she put the D in DUMB.
Face the fact: Rihanna can’t compete against Bey, GaGa and Britney. She isn’t as interesting! With new albums due out next year from Bey, GaGa (it’s true), Britney, Christina, and Janet…do you really think anyone is gon give a fuck about Rated R? Doubt it! It’s a wrap!
Rihanna is the best singer in my opinion, she has a very good voice, a beautiful face and a very sexy body.
te amo rihanna lov you
