Well Target isn't selling the album because it came out early, plus the missing area of sales, so where's the "target" of sales coming from?

What are you even saying?

And Target was just hacked and had the credit card information of over 40 million customers stolen.

I just clocked you. Let's not make this a reoccurring theme sis. Her sales are unlike most of y'all faves, why are y'all undermining that?!

the only thing you did was post: 'BOW DOWN' on my wall

Still she has nowhere to go with the singles, and there won't be any single that can reach the top 10 for yet another era.

The whole "singles are pointless now" logic is kinda dumb.
Many artists release singles after albums are already released; the singles are already on the album, so you'd think they'd be rendered pointless, but they still sell.
You can say the same thing about the videos.

The era is the album.

The plan is to enjoy the music and the videos.

This amazing no-pretense no-hype move will do more for her legacy than 10 hit singles would. (for reference, please see: Katy Perry)

Please close this thread after this comment

You people are naive as hell if you think music videos are the be-all/end-all as far as music promotion goes. Aside from those silly novelty songs on YT, when was the last time a music video dramatically benefited a song? These days they might give the song a very fleeting bump, but don't make or break anything.

This question is dumb. It's like pondering if she shot herself in the foot because she released an album of songs that people can hear BEFORE they become singles.

Steady looking for ways to naysay and cast doubt. Just stop. Accept the fact that Beyonce and her team out-strategized your favorites and theirs, and is now reaping the rewards of it.

Basically this. As they continue spewing various idiotic comments, I'm realizing this is more hope than benign speculation and curiosity, anyway.

I don't want to hear anyone complain when this thread backfires and the beyhive decide to bump it,just for the kiis.

Also, LOL @ a KatyCat being pressed because Katy Perry's fake hype was just extinguished by Beyonce.

Seethe, bb. Seethe!

Sure I'll sit. Along with the last of your faves remarkable commercial success that was well over from four years ago. She's had a whole era since then. To put it nicely for you, I'd rather spend $1.29 then nothing at all.

Was this supposed to be a drag?

Sis, for the very last time, she isn't a singles artist.

Y'all should stop holding her to that status. She haven't been one of those artists since DIL era, when she had something to prove.

Everything from here on out is for the record books and her fans.

Her career is dependent upon hit singles. (I.e her tour #'s, her album #'s, her high profile in general)

Willy.

It's called POWER.

All she has to do is put the videos on VEVO when they become singles. Don't worry about Bey. She's good.

Drais.

And she will outsell albums that have been out a year with singles that did by this time next week.
