Rihanna's new album goes platinum just one day after release but Billboard mag won't recongnize it!

Rihanna released her new album 'Anti' this week, first on Tidal and then on iTunes. And yesterday the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it with Platinum status...but Billboard magazine refused to recognize the platinum status.


And here's why. As part of a $25million deal with Samsung, Anti became available as a free download on Jay Z's Tidal this week, making it to go platinum instantly...


The free download is the reason Billboard isn't interested. A Billboard spokesperson tells Digital Trends,

“Billboard has a well documented policy of not counting free albums towards the charts.”
Physical copies of the album will go on sale Feb 5th.

Billboard is right. Free downloads doesn't count because it's not selling and what counts for billboard are sold copies so why start hating on billboard? Everyone with his 5 senses will understand. Even if Samsung has bought them and give them for free, Samsung are not the regular buyers(people), that was investment from Samsung to market the album.

I personally dislike Rihannas music. Even though good luck to her.
