It's the longest stay for an album atop the global tally since Adele's '21': Beyoncé's self-titled effort reigns the hitlist for a fifth week in a row and sold another 163.000 copies, a 32% sales erosion compared to the previous week. In its five weeks on the list 'Beyoncé' sold 2,29 million in total. 933.000 of it this year, so it leads the year-to-list easily, far away from One Direction's 'Midnight Memories' (583.000 sales) and Eminem's 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2' (496.000 sales).

I did the math, and her sales are falling steeply. Loud opened with 406k and did 2.2 +M in 5 weeks for instance.
Considering beyonce blockbuster opening, 1 m in one week, she is having steep drops but not as bad 1Direction.
Promotion may not do the trick if she doesn't have hits , see 4.
I predict close to 4 million in the end
Loud got huge boost in sales because she promoted. She was on X Factor UK when it was at it's highest in ratings and UK sales were high, Rihanna's big weeks were mostly down to UK sales. No point comparing it to that, Beyonce hasn't done a thing and it's not 2010 anymore.
2.2million. At the rate beyonce is going (steep decreases per week), she will struggle to do 4 million.
Yes, her sales will keep decreasing by 38% every week and by the end of March, she'll be selling 10 copies per week.
Your logic and understanding of how charts work is inspiring
2.2million. At the rate beyonce is going (steep decreases per week), she will struggle to do 4 million.
