not to mention she made sure people would be able to buy the album right after her performance by putting it back up as a banner on iTunes. I must say if Beyonce has not convinced you by now JUST DEAL with the fact that she really not focused on Single success. She has not discounted her album yet and its sold over 3.5 million copies (while being more expensive than the average album). She has done everything to market this album as a whole and to not truly focus on separate singles.
Following her VMA performance tonight, with all the things she's set in place from the setlist, to the iTunes Banner to the FOCUS driven on the ALBUM and not the SINGLE, do you think it'll be successful and BEYONCE will make a resurgence in the Top 15 or 10 of iTunes? Or do you think the SONGS will fair better?

Sis the album has, in addition to the songs, 17 music videos, $15.99 isn't that much when you look at what you're getting. Discounting the album of this kind will not make a good deal for her label.
Compare it to other standard albums like Unorthodox Jukebox, it has 10 tracks and is being sold at $10.99, so it's the same. And she knows that non of her album's songs is going to become this huge hit and she's ok with it.
-- and before you use the singles sell albums excuse, they haven't exactly risen BEYONCE's sales by a notable amount.
