Eminem is a rapper. They usually sell and chart well with less promotion because they have much more loyal fan base. As for Beyoncé, I wouldn't say she had no promo. She played the Superbowl and was actually supposed to drop her single before it, but obviously her label rejected it, fearing that she would flop again, forcing her to bombard the media with snippets and puff stories every time she went out to eat or got a haircut, just so she could stay relevant. Then, producers kept saying that she's working on the album, it's coming, which made people anticipate it. Not to mention her huge tour. Or the H&M ad.Then she still had to pull her iTunes stunt, and include 17 videos just so that people would actually listen to it instead of ignore it like they did with 4. So no, I wouldn't say she had no promo. No promo would be if Adele dropped tonight. Beyoncé used all of 2013 as promo, and then tried to act like she didn't need it. And yet there is still no top ten in sight.
