I just love how you stans take useless trivia and stats out of context and manipulate them to your advantage. You'd make excellent politicians.

WTF. 'Especially the latter two'? To release an album in November is a lot better than in December, and on Beyoncé's case, she had the advatange of also getting Thanksgiving sales... So yeah, yeah, the playing field is really unbalanced.
As for Mariah, TEOM also came out around April, and it still sold a lot more than her latest, although with a smaller first week sales. Madonna's COAD came out in November and it didn't sell much more than HC.
I won't even mention the key card called promotion, but what I'm trying to say is it may matter to release an album around the end or the beginning of the year if you're a nobody - But it doesn't make that much of a difference to release an album in November/December or March/April when you're a big name as these four singers. You sell what you sell, simple as that, there's no rule that apply perfectly.
P.S.: LMFAO at the 'Circus declined in sales'. Just goes to show your true colors and intentions, LOL.
I like Beyonce and Britney there my fav. female artists... but Bey is a little higher on my list lol. And this is actually Bey's 5th week, because the first week sales were from Japan only...
I don't understand how COADF or TEOM were relevant to this conversation, when I was obviously talking about HC and E=MC² coming out in April, when there are significantly less albums being sold than in November in December. And 2005 sales can't be used as a sales standard for 2008 anyways.
