Since January, a lot of people have been saying that BEYONCE's success is front-loaded and that Prism will outsell it by the summer/fall etc...but it doesn't look like it happened.

Prism2013: 1.8M
Prism2014: 1.62M
=3.42M

BEYONCE2013: 1.4M
BEYONCE2014: 2.289M
(Note: A lot of BEYONCE's first week sales are not counted by Mediatraffic because Digital exclusives from countries as big as Germany do not report sales...)
(does not include the sales of the re-release)


=3.689M

We have an event coming up for Katy, it will allow her to expose her music to 100M+ people in the United States. Do you think that with that, Katy will be able to outsell BEYONCE once and for all?



Also, BEYONCE can potentially win AOTY which will help with its sales.

No prism will not outsell BEYONCE

Of course it will!

Katy is promoting in the Superbowl and Beyonce at the grammys, so there's your answer.

Not after the Grammys. Lol

I said that in the OP.

If Beyonce wins Grammy AOTY, the gap will increase even though Katy has SB.

No. I do not think Katy will sell 200,000 copies after she performs at Super Bowl. Which will not even be Prism exclusive.

She'll need atleast two more hits to outsell Beyoncé, and with all the touring she has coming up, it just isn't happening

No. SB results in catalogue sales for the singles cause it's a GP popular event, but the GP won't pay 10 dollars to buy a full album based on a 5-song medley.

Beyonce's numbers are inflated. There's no way in hell she sold more than Prism.

BEYONCÉ sold 5M+ worldwide, so I doubt it.

Those are from Mediatraffic...What do you suggest I use to show stats?

more than 100 million people watch the halftime, 200k is not that much

As much as i love Beyonce and the album, i hope Prism will pass it. Katy is someone who actually cares about her album and her fans I lost a lot of respect to beyoncé this era.

They aren't inflated. These numbers are actually spot on. stfu

Yes.

Post-Superbowl yes. But probably only temporarily

Never.

She'll get a boost from the Superbowl so if she does it won't be by much. & Katy will prob need a re-release to cross 4m.
