We've had this conversation a million times before. Few albums are remembered more than their singles: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Dark Side of the Moon, Thriller*...

And for the most part it works best when you are:

A) Established
B) Delivering your "defining album!!1!"
C) Doing something new/unique with your campaign

Bey's got all the pieces in play. Worst case scenario is that this album only becomes a staple in business classes, especially digital marketing.

AR is another, but that one at least has some of the Beatles most well-known singles. Sgt. Pepper's had 0 singles.

A Day in the Life is remembered.
The title track is remembered.
With A Little Help From My Friends is remembered.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
She's Leaving Home. ect.
I see your point though.

Something & Because just obliterate those songs.

What does that have to do with anything? Yes the album is trash but helas.

You could have at least ACTUALLY shaded the worst songs like Broken Hearted Girl and Disappear.
(Though, the Single Ladies Live version has 50x the plays of the actual studio version for me)

No one will remember in 30 years one Rihanna album. Some songs, yes.

Rihanna will be remembered in 30 years, I think that's something we can all agree on. And when people ask for her best album or for an album to get into her (for example), GGGB is gonna be the one recommended. At least so far.

[Elusive Chanteuse]

So many classics on one debut CD.

Well you said the album wouldn't sell at all.

Wow when ablums are successful the songs don't even have to be singels to be remembered

BEYONCE is going to end up having hit singles. Even if the single sales are underwhelming the album sales are so big that they make up for it. Radio is already spamming "Drunk In Love" on urban stations and "XO" will end up being a giant smash. I'd stop dragging Beyoncé by saying "She won't have single success" when it's already clear that she will. The BeyHive going to go all Katy Cat on all of you girls and bump you in like three months.

Spot on. Some of these girls are too much. The only reason DIL and XO are tanking is because people using their gift cards are choosing to buy older / current hits (as they do every year).

Watch in January when both songs fly up the charts.

And "Mine" is another cross format hit waiting to happen. Plus all the Urban smashes she has (Partition, Jealous, ***Flawless).

Beyonce getting digital albums to sell in the age of Spotify and piracy will most likely end up being a milestone of the music industry as well

hmm, true but the album isn't as well received as any of the ones you mentioned but I guess it doesn't have to be of the same caliber in terms of quality to stay remembered.

They also neglect the fact that by having it an album only iTunes exclusive for a week a huge chunk of potential single sales already went down the drain.

Don't get me wrong, all Beatles tracks are remembered, but the albums are even more titanic.

[Kworb]

Yes BEYONCÉ will be remembered and mentioned for the iTunes stunt. The music will be forgotten. Kind of like Born This Way and the Amazon stunt. Just not as global, and with lower numbers across the board.

[rihannafan]

I still hear rihanna around more than any of the pop girls. And everyone knows Lebanese success is essential to be global.

You always find the best way to put it to make it sound way more tragic

That is remembered as a JOKE.

It was not game changing nor did it shake the industry up. I don't see the comparison.

[Duca]

[RobynYoBank]

Born This Way was game changing. Billboard changed the rules as a result.
