There's nothing to argue. Those users put those reviews on Metacritic themselves, we didn't write it for them If an album has a 5.5 user score, that obviously means a good amount of people didn't like it.

Do you, though, Ben

You know certain other stans had an influence on that user rating Metacritic isn't exactly well known outside of the stan world. The album's iTunes rating is a better indication of the GP's opinion, and it has four stars there!

Why does the Bey stans keep saying Bey didn't promote ha album. Don't u guys know it cost her and her label millions to make that Surprise Release happen. That was "Promo".

But I guess this was all a front loaded sales mess.

Plus the album was released with another disc including music videos for every song.

That's stupid, so if a budget for a film is $250 million, that's considered enough "promo" and we shouldn't expect any trailers, posters or interviews to be shown?
Plus Pepsi paid for everything, what did you think the $50 million deal was for?

Mess @ 8k. The lack of longevity

Honey please educate yourself.
There was a budget. It doesnt matter if it was from Beyonces, Columbia's or Pepsi's pocket to put together the album and for promo.

And traditional album release promo includes live performances, music videos, iTunes banners and ads.

But in this case Beyonce and her team put together all the videos, had iTunes banners all week. Ads everywhere. And all these websites and blogs that almost simultaneously posted info about the album.

That was not coincidental. They had to pay for that.

And with respects to the Pepsi deal. You think PepsiCo just handed Bey 50 million dollars.

:

You had to pay for the music videos, it's not like all of the music videos were shown on tv and were available on vevo and all the things you said are true, there was a lot of buzz and itunes banners the week of the release and she delivered magnificent numbers back then (700k in like 4 days) but we are discussing the current number (8K) and the fact is Beyonce hasn't promoted since February. Or do you expect her to sell 30k just because she had some itunes banner and some blogs stanning back in December?

PRISM 3 million (23K); BEYONCÉ 3.3 million (8K)

The difference will just get smaller, Beyoncé is barely selling. You first said she didn't need promo, now she suddenly does. She promoted quite a lot with 4, yet she barely reached 3 million. 1D kids don't promote and they don't have successful singles either yet they are about to surpass 4 million and their tour is heading to be bigger than Beyoncé's, so your point? Those are just excuses.

Katheryn is selling just as much (and will soon surpass her), she's gotten several successful singles and her tour is doing good, even if it doesn't surpass MCST. I just don't understand the anger, BEYONCÉ was successful, not like you all wanted at first but still there's no need to have so much anger towards Katheryn for slaying harder.





PRISM 23K
BEYONCÉ 8K

Nnnnnn;

Beyoncé's album is at 3.5 and Katy's is just crossing the 3 million mark. After hits, promo and mad radio play. Shouldn't she have outsold Bey a long time ago? Yall sound like a broken record now, you guys have been saying this since March, yet it still hasn't happened. With Katy's hits, she should be selling like Taylor or Pink, but that's not the case. They sell singles and albums.

Beyonce and her team tried a new method of releasing an album. They took all that they got used most of the funds/resources to make this huge surprise/bang that worked at the beginning. What im saying is I don't think the plan was to promote over a long period of time.

So in other words.....This wasnt the traditional form of promotion/Marketing an album
THEY USED UP ALL THE MONEY FOR PROMOTION AND MARKETING AT THE BEGINNING OF IT ALL.

So The excuses of no promo to why the album is selling 8k now is b******t

Katy and the other used the traditional form of album release and marketing which is working in their favor, and is giving them longevity. If Beyonce had a traditional form of release im sure this would have been a different case.

What? A couple of itunes banners drained the whole budget?! Do you realize how stupid you sound?

[satellites.™]

They didnt use up $50 million.

She just paid for 10 PRIMETIME slots on HBO on their most popular day.
