Beyoncé was on tour and ads where everywhere in iTunes, internet, etc.

The iTunes banner takeover was a huge promo, that's the only reason people were so hyped because her album is horrible. It's actually her weakest album.

It makes me laugh whenever they say that.

So does 95 percent of the population, hence the 85 on Metacritic and the fact that it's sold 3.5m WW.

Shakira Stan is just pressed.

In a related story, meteorologists believe that 5 Seconds of Summer replacing Frozen at #1 could lead to sleet in the Midwest. (3/27p)

A 100% lead, eh?

Also, as with every week: Lorde, her longevity.

[Nicole]

I thought Frozen would fall harder

[I.T.]

Damn Frozen. Even if Shakira's numbers magically increased to 100k+, it still wouldn't be enough. At least it's her highest peaking U.S. album.

I'm pretty sure the era hasn't started it... When does she plan to release her lead single?

[Tylerbv]

Karmin not even in the predictions
Lorde

[Lights and Waves]

Poor Target!

At the billboard music awards in May -- Pretty Hurts

Seriously Frozen? When will you die?

And Shakira's numbers are a bit disappointing, I was expecting at least 100K.

[toxicheartache]

Beyoncé stans say perched 24/7 in nearly every ATRL thread posting "85 on Metacritic!" "800K in less than a week!" Yet before Bey dropped her album "sales didn't matter". Interesting, isn't it?

Anyway, for the timing/amount of promotion/other circumstances surrounding the album, 70K isn't that bad for Shakira. Her overseas sales will make up for it anyway.

I'm pretty sure that's inaccurate.
