Oi, I didn't know this where the party was at. That's what I get for never
visiting the Chart section of ATRL. Let me repost this here, then:

The way "BEYONCÉ" was released played perfectly into what today's climate value almost as much as money -- it's "being the first," being in the universe of what's being talked about in the moment. The Twitter-Tumblr Millennials didn't care whether "BEYONCÉ" was good or not, they wanted -- needed -- to be THE FIRST to listen to it, and THE FIRST to comment about it. But guess what, kids? The only way you're going to be THE FIRST to do any of those things, is to BUY it... off iTunes... within the next 24 hours, because it's not available ANYWHERE else. Hence... 80K in 3 hours. It's very fascinating. I can write another thesis on it.
why do we care what billboard says though? i'll count it from friday till friday and that will be its sales for the whole week selling in a week a bunch of albums while some others cant do that in a year
by the way, i had beyonce's 4, dangerously in love albums i just found im..sf album but i had no money
i have never seen b'day anywhere too but this album is gonna join my collection when the album is released in physical
I'm WEAK. I was expecting 300k but bitch doubled that. Imagine if she had a full week and physical CD release. Goodbye to Britney's Oops first week sales.
If anything she should pull the same, if not higher #'s next week with the CD release and it have double the amount of selling time. Guys we're looking at a possible 1.2M in 10 days just in the US
