Furthermore, this is exactly why "BEYONCÉ" worked. The way "BEYONCÉ" was released played perfectly into what today's climate value almost as much as money -- it's "being the first," being in the universe of what's being talked about in the moment. The Twitter-Tumblr Millennials didn't care whether "BEYONCÉ" was good or not, they wanted -- needed -- to be THE FIRST to listen to it, and THE FIRST to comment about it. But guess what, kids? The only way you're going to be THE FIRST to do any of those things, is to BUY it... off iTunes... within the next 24 hours, because it's not available ANYWHERE else. Hence... 80K in 3 hours. It's very fascinating. I can write another thesis on it.

Wtf is up with some of the BeyHive seriously

Firstly I love Bey. I don't care if she sells 5 million in 3 days I will be freaking happy for her. But some of these BeyHive think that now they own the whole ****ing world and they have the right to drag and shade and cuss the **** out of every fanbase. And they claim it's cos they're tired of being dragged in the past. Like OK! I get you're tired of that! I get that now that Bey is back on form you're really proud and happy for her, but does that give you the right to act like a total brat? Like c'mon, are you 5?

And no, Bey didn't get me pressed. Bey is amazing. Some of her fans are not.

We're only saying this was a "brilliant release strategy" in hindsight. The fact of the matter is NO other pop girl could have pulled this off. Beyonce has just become such a massive name over the year that THIS actually worked for her.

Tighten up that sphincter a bit, Swiffer. It's all playful banter.

It would've also worked for Timberlake in January + Eminem.
Everyone else would bomb + get dropped from the label the SAME day.
