This album isn't gonna do what you girrls think it's gonna do. The singles aren't doing well at all on itunes.
She's in the top 10 and 5 songs are in the top 100. And she's still increasing. She got 2 of the biggest updates for today in airplay. Who do you stan for? Has your fave ever?
The absolute tragedy of these girls trying so hard to discredit Beyonce's amazing numbers.
The King dropped an album on itunes only, at full price, without any warning and sold more in a weekend than these other girls did in a week or more in the US alone, and y'all want to keep scraping the bottom of the barrel saying that her singles aren't doing too well or that she'll flop next week or some deluded mess.
Give it a rest. If Bey's unquestionable success and acclaim has got you that bothered, just log off and take a nap. Whatever it takes to let the truth sink in.
And those are the same people who were saying 'Katy increased by 100k compared to her previous effort so it's a great success' or some other 'not enough promo' excuses.
Do people really think Beyonce isn't going to work on promoting this album with performances? etc why do you doubt this womens working ethic shes not lazy she will TRY and WORK right now things are looking great for her and this album and the reaching is just desperate
Rob Stringer is having it both ways at Columbia, which has reclaimed the mantle of the industry’s leading home for prestige artists with the additions of such coveted acts as Pharrell Williams, The Civil Wars, The Neighbourhood, HAIM and Hozier, while continuing to rack up major hits. One Direction, on Simon Cowell’s SYCO imprint, has two big albums this year in the recently released Midnight Memories (#16, 800k) and 2012’s Take Me Home (#37 with another 528k), while EDM pioneers Daft Punk began their Columbia career with a bang, as Random Access Memories (#13, 852k) yielded the consensus single of the year in "Get Lucky," and J Cole’s Born Sinner (#21, 646k) cemented his status as a young hip-hop heavyweight. And then, of course, there’s the aforementioned Beyoncé, whose ability to generate excitement on a worldwide basis may well be unrivaled in the modern era. She can also generate frontline marketshare, boosting Columbia by .6% to 7.6% in one week. Instrumental in all of these successes was the highly regarded Joel Klaiman, who left Republic in order to take the post of EVP/GM and proceeded to deliver big time.
