THE BEY UPDATE:
The Beyoncé sneak attack on iTunes has become the story of the industry and possibly a game-changing new strategy to sell records. The early release as an iTunes exclusive, with no tracks for sale and no Spotify to bastardize sales, the "visual album" has sold approximately 500k album downloads in its first 48 hours, with no end in sight and will easily debut #1. What was looking like a pretty dull Christmas release season has been hit by a bolt of lightning. The surprise release has been heralded by social media everywhere and covered by every major television news network. She has created her own publicity and the project reached its audience through word of mouth--the most powerful of all sales tools. Stay tuned for continuous updates. Kudos to Team Columbia and Team Beyoncé on what may end up being the most talked about event of 2013. (12/14p)

Don't understand why people can't just admit it was the hype of the release and Beyonces natural star power that propelled this album. Very few artists could have this same result, and only 1 other female.

What kind of Adele-sized slayage? Even I never saw this coming. As someone who's been a fan since her DC days, this makes me so proud to see that she can snatch wigs like this after all these years, in every way that count.
