She deserves it tbh, the album is really good and she didn't desperately overhype, she let the music speak pour itself.

Insane.

Can she beat Lady Gaga's 662k (440k was attributable to a 99 cent Amazon MP3 sale) ?

[Lose My Breath]

Where is the source for 620k?

[Kiel D-01]

That beyonce apocalypse tho

The album is selling totally on hype, not the strength of its music. No had heard any of the songs, except for snippets released at the exact same time

I disagree it is selling based on the positive reception of its music and videos as well. If it were pure hype and lack of quality she still wouldn't be selling strong like she is now. Not would the many who did not buy the digital album be waiting to purchase it when the physical comes out

Isn't the quality of the music part of the hype? everybody (from the critics to the random people on social media) is PRAISING the album.

I don't see anything saying she has sold 620k though? I see where they are predicting her to sell 600k by midnight tonight?

You're right. Right now she is only selling off buzz and her name. She'll have longevity cause when the hype fades, people will start buying the album for the amazing content. It's a very smart marketing strategy on her part.

Can she beat Lady Gaga's 662k (440k was attributable to a 99 cent Amazon MP3 sale) ? Stay tuned as this ever-growing story progresses.

It said she will more than double 4's first week.

UN-BEY-LIEVABLE: In addition to her other achievements of the last few days, Columbia's Beyonce could well add the one-week digital sales record. She has, with her iTunes splashdown, surpassed the online tally of Taylor Swift's Red (465k during the week ending 10/28/12). Queen Bey will also more than double the first week of her previous release, 2011's 4, which bowed with 310k. Can she beat Lady Gaga's 662k (440k was attributable to a 99 cent Amazon MP3 sale) ? Stay tuned as this ever-growing story progresses. (12/15p)

Ermygod.

[GoneHome]

...powered Beyoncé past the 500k mark on Saturday, its second full day of availability, with 600k or more clearly in sight by the time the sales week ends and Apple’s window of exclusivity ends tonight

HDD said 600K by the time the sales period ends, meaning she hasn't sold 600K yet.

I hope she reaches 650K by the end of today tho

Not too much on "Red" now. Its the second year of selling unlike the others you mentioned.

It's been three days. She is all over the news and social media. At this point she has had more promo than half the girls who released this year. There has not been enough time for critics to write reviews that people have read. This album for the majority of people has been an impulse buy.

Don't worry Who could forget 'Red' slaying careers back in 2012
