If Beyonce wanted to play it safe with the 4 era, she should've released a midtempo as the lead single.

Originally posted by Damien M If I Were A Boy + Halo were massive global hits though.

It'll be interesting to see who's nominated for ROTY at the Grammy's. Daft Punk, Robin, and Macklemore all have spots on lock? Maybe it'll be all male if Bruno gets a nod too

Originally posted by BabyCantYouSee "4" sold well considering it had no hit singles. Cut it some slack.

Originally posted by waryofothers I wonder what happened that made her scrap the album/single/whatever.

Originally posted by TheVoiceXtina How much has it sold WW?

Most say 6M. But I'm leaning more towards 7M.

3.3M in the US, 750K in the UK [and #1], and one of the biggest hits in Germany [9 weeks @ #1] and #1 in France. And that's 4 of the 5 biggest markets in the world, so it's safe to say 7M is on lock.

Originally posted by Kworb If I Were A Boy did okay, it was not massive. Halo was only a minor hit, but it's had longevity for some reason.

Originally posted by BabyCantYouSee Apparently she did not like the direction the album was going towards. GrownWoman and Standing On the Sun sound like **** so I'm not mad at the same time.

IASF was a good era, but the dual releases crippled some single sales, and the album itself is a mess outside a handful of tracks.
