I think the Hive is expecting a bit much in terms of promotion. It's obvious she's going the Jay/Kanye route and keeping things minimal in that aspect (this surprise release and subsequent success probably only made it more clear to her that promo in the traditional sense isn't needed). I wouldn't even be too shocked if she skips the Grammy's this year.

which is good. Makes her more exclusive. God knows she slaved for IASF its 7 m.

I predict 4-5m for Mrs. Carter.

I read she performed the SL routines over 900 times in 09.

If 4 can get to 3 million with basically no promo after Sep 2011, I have high hopes for Bayonse.

People said IASF would stall in sales and Single Ladies would flop so...

Clearly you people have learned nothing from doubting Beyonce, who has had more top ten hits then EVERYONE you all stan for in her career.

1 behind Rihanna, coming for that tie again next week.

DIL isn't going Top 10 next week, lol.

The heavy head start she has on outselling 4 and Rihannas last two albums is huge, I mean it took 4

WEEK 01: #01 - 536,000
WEEK 02: #02 - 266,000
WEEK 03: #02 - 192,100

= 994,100

She passed that in 5 days, before the physical.

She's becoming quite the marketing wizard too, no?
Would be smart if she pulled a Madge and did concert ticket/album bundle for the Mrs. Carter Part Deux next year. It aint cheatin if you got it.

Look at Jay Z his Samsung deal. He didn't really sell 1m copies of his albums. 1m Samsung owners got his album for FREE not for purchase as part of his deal with Samsung. Sometimes you got to pay to play. Clearly, they think they're big enough now to not follow old rules. Rules are meant to be broken

It's possible. I'd say 30% chance.

~50k sales.

~25m AI.

~8m US streams.

[rockabyebaby]

I dont see this outselling UA with NO PROMO.

[Nippy'sReceipts]

These days it's much easier to work things in your favor if you're savvy enough. The Hive should be making viral videos for Drunk in Love and XO.

The things parents let their children do in America.

[RihRihGirrrl]

She will.do promo as soon as the hype dies down, she doesn't need to at the moment. Here's to praying she doesnt waist it on XO

If she doesn't promote it, I see it topping out at 2 million which still slays tbh with no promo.

But she isn't dumb, she will be at the Grammys and lets not forget what a Beyonce performance can do for a song people like. People hated RTW and it still re-peaked after it completely flopped because she performed it at the BBMAS.

People like DIL and XO, she can send those flying up iTunes in no time with one performance.

[Harmonic Dreamer]

I think DIL is gonna debut anywhere between top 20 & top 30.
XO is gonna debut at 60.

I agree 100%. it's not like she has to do much to get great success.

[satellites.™]

But ki if Bey gives BEYONCE the IASF treatment, she is so hitting 10 mili worldwide.

Just like RTW was supposed to have record-shattering sells.

She isnt going to do that. She has a child now. Plus she hits the road again in Feb. and I'm pretty sure there . are rehearsals for the new revamped show.

There's only so much she can do in Jan. Now what I can see her doing is possibly dropping a Volume 2 visual album out of the clear blue sky if the singles don't blow up.

[Kool_Aid_King]

DIL will probably be top 20. I don't see it going top 10.
