Rihanna may be broken and bruised inside and out but definitely not her bank account as sales of her 2007 album “Good Girl Gone Bad” increased by 33% which is equal to 25,000 album copies sold. Rihanna’s brisk album sales, which came amid the domestic violence issue involving her and boyfriend Chris Brown, is being interpreted as a sign of support for her. Rihannas’s album stands out considering that Grammy winners and big debuts by Lily Allen among others dominated this week’s album sales.
But while Rihanna’s album sales is soaring, the reverse is happening to Brown’s 2007 album “Exclusive” which did not even made it to the Top 200. Rihanna went home to Barbados after the incident to spend time with her family but is now reportedly out and about and keeping herself on the radar. Aside from cancelling her Grammy Awards performance, Rihanna has also cancelled two Asian shows and has not scheduled any public appearance since then.

Clique Girlz’ Incredible EP is available now.
