"SURTBOARD" in itself is and will be more more iconic/remembered than half of these so important "hits".
The fact that BEYONCE an album released out of nowhere with zero huge hits and minimal promo has sold on par with heavily promoted albums from girls with multiple #1's and promotion is proof of that enough.
Even though it's a "flop" apparently...and those albums sales are good or something

you make it seem as if Beyoncé was an indie artist that released a song out of nowhere and it sold based only on her music. No, Beyoncé is one of the biggest music celebrities, she has been around longer than the majority of the pop girls. She was on a world tour when she released the album, she also performed at the Super Bowl and had a huge PEPSI deal, those are already powerful promo vehicles.
She sold a lot based on her name and on her celebrity status. Once people got over the hypé, they dropped her weak album.
