Wasn't 4 pusing 30K on its 6 month? I'm not sure what the OP is trying to stir here but ok.
Self titled sold 2M in less than a month. That was probably the 6 months worth of buyers right there if she were to commercial promote like everybody else. There's literally nothing to anticipate with this album.
What would of been more exciting and had more longevity was to handle this similar to the B'Day era. She could of released the surprise album and gradually released all the music videos throughout the year followed up with a Anthology Video Album for the fans. It may not of sold 2+M in a month, but it'd probably still be at 3+M with another half of an album to anticipate (visually)
Anyway. Why am I even dreaming. Let's just hope the HBO concert series helps push albums through the 3rd quarter. That and a BET performance.

to Lorde though. That's v impressive
