Now that there is a very strong chance that Beyonce WILL NOT BE RELEASING on itunes, and that she will probably only release physical copies of "5"

How will this affect her sales?

Predict Beyonce's: 1st Week Sales, Total US Sales, and her Total WW Sales.

Mess. Why would she only do that for the first week? I hope she knows what she's doing.

To get more people to buy it at whichever retailer she gets the deal with. That could be a good thing if handled properly. Whoever gets the exclusive will have to promote the **** out of it.

And It will be like what Jay/Ye did with "Watch the Throne" just reversed. WTT was released digitally the first week and physical copies was made available the next week.

What kind of premature ***********? Ask me again in a few months.

220,000-300,000
3 mil WW
1 mill US

I already know there's gonna be tons of shade

I see 4 mil+ if she has at least one huge hit.

Stupid idea tbh. Why would she limit herself to buyers. A lot of people around the world don't buy physical copies. No matter if it's physical or digital it all adds up the same.

I hope she doesn't pull something stupid as this after all this wait.

ww
4-5 million with decent hit(s) and decent promo
2-3 million with only moderate hit(s) but decent promo
1-2 million with very little radio impact and only limited promo

It literally all depends on the lead single.

500,000 First Week if the First Single is as good as she can have it AND she releases in the winter.

A good 80% of Beyonce's sales are physical anyway so she will need to get it together and not pull

any "Super Deluxe Platinum Edition with the songs you actually want but it's only available at Target in China" mess like she's been doing the past two eras.

Everyone underestimated the king.

200,000-350,000
1-1.5 million US
3-4 million WW

I was almost sorta right.

Not really

lol

because we all knew that surprise release was coming, you're so annoying.
