Overexposed? Rihanna’s Vogue Magazine Cover Flops in Sales

By: Amanda Anderson-Niles

Rihanna is clearly on top when it comes to the music game and now the singer has officially created a business out of her brand as she is now a fashion designer and just inked a deal with cosmetics giant MAC to launch her own makeup collection. And we’re quite sure Rihanna is just getting started, especially since she’s managed to land her first number one album. She’s already gotten herself started in acting in blockbuster movies, and the singer isn’t apologizing for her personal life either these days as it’s been confirmed that she’s back dating Chris Brown, her controversial childhood sweetheart. Rihanna is currently on her Diamonds tour, and it’s off to a rocky start since she’s had to cancel a couple of shows as a result of laryngitis. But Rihanna’s loyal fan base whom she affectionately refers to as the “Navy” continues to support Rihanna and we doubt her ticket sales will slow down any as a result of the cancellations.

Another thing Rihanna’s particularly very good at is landing magazine covers. And we’re sure that most likely has to do with the fact that Rihanna just knows how to strike a pose and makes it all look very easy. Despite how fierce Rihanna looks in all of her spreads, it’s now being reported that her magazine covers aren’t doing well in sales when it comes to the newsstands. In fact, it’s being reported that her recent Vogue cover flopped.

Fashionista reports:

Rihanna’s Vogue November issue also tanked: It sold 227,000 copies–32 percent below the six-month average–making it the glossy’s second-worst selling issue all year. Vogue’s Olympic issue, covered by Ryan Lochte, Hope Solo and Serena Williams, has the dubious honor of being the worst-selling issue.
