Brew Music News: Discount Rihanna?

Rihanna's "Rated R" is in the bargain bin at Amazon MP3 already, despite only being released yesterday.  It's selling there for just $3.99, unlike other releases which usually go for $9.99 or more.  That's led some to wonder if Def Jam is worried about this album tanking?  Or, is the cheaper price just a solid marketing strategy to help her sell more records during a tough week?  After all, her record is pitted against releases from Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga and Susan Boyle this week.

So, what's your call?  Smart move or just desperate? 

By the way, here's a clip from her Good Morning America performance this morning.
