My brother really likes Mika's second album, which doesn't seem to have a certificate yet which is bad seeing as his first album is 5x Platnuim.”

His last single 'Rain' has only got to around #70 too and it was released last week 
Rihannas album hasn't charted well in it's first week, but it still had decent sales at around 32k. Back in October that would have made #1!! (seriously)

Actually I take it back your both right, Rated R isn't a flop at all. It has sold well, but with strong opposition from the likes of Susan Boyle, Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas and the Christmas albums, it hasn't been given a chance to do as well. It's a shame because it's her best album yet.
I'm also really shocked at how badly Mika's album has done, They say the sophomore effort is always the hardest, and I guess it's true. Except if your name is Paolo Nutini. Then your album is even better than your absolutely fantastic debut
