Rihanna’s Sales Soar While Chris’s Sink

It’s too early to tell who a jury might favor in the Chris Brown/Rihanna assault case, but the record buying public has spoken—and they’re solidly on Team Rihanna.

E! reports that in the week following the Grammys,  Rihanna’s 2007 album, “Good Girl Gone Bad,” saw  a sales jump of 33 percent, moving 25,000 copies to land at No. 31 on the Billboard album chart. 

OTOH, Brown’s 2007 album, “Exclusive,” failed to sell enough copies to make it into Billboard’s Top 200. This is following the loss of several lucrative corporate sponsors including the Got Milk! campaign.

Only time will tell whether Rihanna can hold onto public sympathy and if Brown’s career will rebound.
