I like Beyonce but you guys are so overreacting. She is selling only because of the hype. Why do you think she didnt release a single before the album? She was scared that she might have flopped. Just wait for the second and third week. Her sales are frontloaded like Born This Ways. Right now she is basically selling 40% of her total sales this era. Her singles will flop. The music is bad

Y'all never learn.

The CHARTFLOP Ball will do moderately well, not as well as the BTWB obviously.

Gaga's ARTPOP ball is gonna flop. The few monsters remaining better cling to those BTWB receipts for these upcoming few months.

This won't flop. Her next project will.

"Beyonce's" iTunes launch is also the second-largest digital sales week overall -- counting all digital retailers. It's second behind the debut frame of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," which sold 662,000 downloads in its first week. (That number was enhanced by Amazon MP3's decision to sell the set for 99-cents for two days during its first week. Billboard has estimated that Amazon MP3's 99-cent version resulted in 440,000 copies sold.)

Every media outlet keeps bringing up this 99 cent deal. So can we say Bey has this record as well since she didn't give away hers?

[HighwayHooker]

there's no one around today that has an ounce of hoping of reaching 21's numbers

[Callisto.]

Remember when everyone said Bey wasn't a digital seller?

[Sammi]

This what Beyonce is doing is outstanding no matter how you spin it. But I can drag Gaga if you want. I have more than enough material.

[Callisto.]

I keep hearing it won't have longevity.
It'll end up like 20/20 experience

But umm didn't the 20/20 experience still outsell your faves in the long run or am I missing something?

Is there even a question?

That 99 cent deal ruined Gaga. It is brought up in literally every chart related article about her. Every single one.

[SaneBeyhannaStan]

It's ignorant that some are trying to still use the "local" drags when Bey has outpaced all her contemporaries latest efforts combined in less than a week.

Funnier is that it was only 2 days in some markets and not 3.

But the kicker is that ITunes is not a huge seller or mostly popular in most countries WW.

Regardless of whether she has Longevity she will have caught up and surpassed most of them by week 2 or 3 and left them in the dust by Grammy premiere.

No, because she doesn't

It doesn't matter how you feel about Adele. Beyoncé ain't touching 21's sales, and neither is any other pop star. Just get real.

And she doesn't need to because Adele won't see those sales again either. However, Beyonce will still be seeing album sales 10 years from now.

Don't make me trim Adele, I like her.

XO is gonna be huge, too.

It worries me that after breaking records, setting the internet on a frenzy, & getting countless media coverage for this release, radio is STILL sleeping on her music. I heard over 20+ mentions about her album on the radio, & only heard Drunk In Love once

"Beyoncé dropped a surprise album & broke the internet. We'll have the details soon!" *plays The Monster*

Steve McQueen's "12 Years a Slave," David O. Russell's "American Hustle" and Alphonso Cuaron's "Gravity" dominated the Broadcast Film Critics Assn.'s 19th Critics' Choice Movie Award nominations on Monday morning. "Slave" and "Hustle," which also tied for the most Golden Globe nods last week, received 13 Critics' Choice nominations each, while "Gravity" received 10 nominations.

The three Best Picture front runners have emerged.

I'll still support her tho, her post-mortem efforts
