Hmmmm....when a fave flops or underperforms, cling to album sales of Adele/Taylor/Frozen for comfort.

BEYONCE latterly sold more than PRISM, ARTPOP and Bangerz with shorter amount of time and without discounts

Seethe

Is she?

It funny how you guys always say longevity >>>> frontloaded when we're talking about album sales.but it's always a different story when we're talking about frontloaded career vs a 17 year career

You're delusional, what receipts? Again for the those who can't comprehend, Beyoncé is part of the Britney, Xtina, Jlo and Shakira generation. None of them have even gone platinum with their latest albums, they can't sell albums any more, yet Beyoncé is who is a part of that generation is selling on par or more than girls in their prime, ie the most popular one Katy, Gaga and Rih. I didn't say all because of course Adele is here.

Unapologetic shipped 4 million, but only sold 3.6 and BEYONCE has sold 3.6 is less time with less promo. PRISM, I don't care who sells more weekly, has yet to out sell BEYONCE, please show me receipts of PRISM out selling BEYONCE. Artpop, Banger etc all mainstream pop girls in their prime/peak, also have yet to outsell Beyoncé's 5th album, again Bey is 17yrs into her career they are in their prime/peak. So what receipts are you talking about sis, you are just babbling nonsense.

um, beyonce has not even the slightest chance of outselling adele's next era and i highly doubt she'll ever outsell her again. adele's album will sell 3.6m for sure and probably much more, and she'll probably keep outselling her for the rest of her career unless beyonce stays successful for like 20 more years or something, and even then with decreasing album sales, beyonce won't be able to sell that much while it's been shown that the album sales downturn doesn't affect adele as much (my theory is that it's because she makes the type of music that attracts people to buy albums. think alanis morrissette and norah jones), so just put that thought out of your mind right now.

Because she is a LEGEND

Yaaaas pull out these 2003 receipts!

Jebskdnskdndb BEYONCE sold 3.6 now??? Ffff done talking

...huh??? i don't even know what you're talking about. all i said is that she isn't outselling them in their peaks like the thread title said.

Lol, When will your fave have a 12+ selling album?

Why so upset go buy a copy of Beyoncé

Pink is definitely a contender. But she isn't as big or respected. She is respected, but not on B's level.

Rihanna doesn't sell more albums at a consistent rate. Especially when you take into account the amount of albums she has in contrast with B. Beyoncé has a successful WW single with Drunk in Love. Stop acting like it doesn't exist. This era she sold albums, and had a hit single.

Taylor and Adele don't even need to be discussed because they have the huge album sales and single sales, but Adele also had hype and "new artist" appeal.
