Bigger question is why Katy didn't get it either. Her tour and DH DID happen this year, or no?

And we don't know why Bey didn't get this and really don't care. She's been there, done that, but Taylor getting it based off a song released at the end of the year screams "deposit successful". IMO.

Cos Taylor already has the biggest opening week for her single SIO and we all know 1989 numbers are gonna crush everyone else's album numbers too.

If Beyonce had released her album earlier last year she would have won it last year instead of Pink. Beyonce didn't really have any success with singles from her last album either. Drunk In Love did OK, but only went 1 Plat in the US. No other single went Plat from the album.

Billboard is all about the charts and the sales in the US. Beyonce (album) did very well but it's numbers get crushed by Taylor's 1989. Shake It Off already sold 2.2 million and currently no 1 on US iTunes. No single from Beyonce is going to match that and it is only Taylor's 1st single from 1989.

I personally don't even think Beyoncé should have got it this year either. I understand why they would give it to Bey, but I think it's better to give it to someone who hasn't got it before + made a significant impact this year. Ariana and or Nicki would have been very appropriate. As for Taylor...she already got it and ON TOP OF THAT did not do much to earn it this year .... so i'm just

Why is last year's events relevant to this year's winner?
Anyways, aside from LAST YEAR'S album and Drunk In Love (Which peaked late last year/VERY early this year), Bey's been flopping brutally. All the singles in the world don't matter if they don't chart (RE: Pretty Hurts)

Maybe Billboard has some bad blood with Katy.

Its not about how much Taylor WILL sell in the upcoming months, that will be taken into consideration for next year's WOTY.
Truth is Beyoncé has sold more Albums (2.1 million) and singles (almost 4 million) in the last 12 months.

This argument is invalid. You can't give it to Taylor because she will release a new album. Why not wait until next year and give it to her?
The 2M singles Shake If Off sold translate to 200K in TEA which is less than a third of what BEYONCÉ sold this year. And I'm guessing the tracking period is October to October so BEY should be at 4M in TEA.
This is like giving it to Gaga last year because her album was anticipated and expected to be huge.
