people are actually coming to the realization that Beyoncé comes with the best ideas
and they are basically asking for forgiveness of having let Run The World underperform.
Let's think about what songs were performed. How long have songs like Fancy or Boom Clap been available on iTunes? I'm not discrediting 7/11's success, but let's not act like this is a fair comparison.
besides the song Selena Gomez performed (which was already Top 20), 7/11 is doing better than every song performed at the AMAs. Blank Space and I'm Not The Only One were hits from the get go
