- X Factor S2 ended Dec 20th, 2012.
- Work Bitch was released September 2013.
That's nine months. Britney Jean dropped and flopped November 2013. That's eleven months.
- The Inauguration happened Jan 2013.
- BEYONCE came out and slayed Dec 2013.
That's eleven months. The Superbowl was February 2013, ten months before the album dropped.
If you want to discredit The X Factor as being promo for Brit's album based on time (reasonable), you have to do the same for the Inauguration and the Superbowl. If you're going to argue the SB is a bigger than XF, you'd be right, but then the question would be raised - Why was Beyonce
asked to perform on these stages while the other girls were settling for TV judging spots? That leaves us with a World Tour vs a Vegas Residency. I guess that means with roughly the same amount of promo, Beyonce does 617k in three days while Brit does 107k in a full week
So no, she's not the queen of hyping her albums, she's the queen of public interest period.
