Basically, the army, navy and the few shakira stans on here are anti-Bey to the max. They are all pressed over the success of Bey's album. The few Shakira stans are really angry of CRTFY's chart position. Its lonely at the top. The Lambs are close ally too.
Yes, I have noticed this too. I think the main reason most other stanbases are fuming is because they had written Bey off as far as singles and album sells. They thought the underperformance of 4 was it for ha, they just knew she wouldn't get a top 10 hit let alone get a top 3 hit single. They had no idea she would outsell most of their favs recent albums in 2 months. This is what its all about, but let them seethe.
pretty hurts (and xo for that matter) could do well if she promoted well, she doesn't do that anymore tho (annoying ). she needs songs that are striking and unique enough to carry themselves on their own as singles ; blow, mine, drunk in love and partition are IT (maybe heaven too I can see it for that song)
