SIO became the 22nd song in Hot 100 history to debut at #1, so I pick 1989.

BEYONCE isn't pop..

Only "1989". "Beyoncé" lacked longevity and WW hits.

"BEYONCÉ" went 2x platinum in the U.S and is almost at 4 million WW.
Who cares about longevity and WW hits when you can sell an admirable amount albums in this sales climate and do major touring.

You guys ask too much of Beyonce when some of your faves can even get a platinum album anymore.

Yes.

1989 is doing it, in 2013 there were albums that sold more than BEYONCÉ

The only album that sold more than BEYONCE is Frozen

EDIT: you said 2013.

BEYONCE was only out for 3 weeks in 2013. So you expect it to outsell albums that had up to 49 weeks of sales?

Where is the logic? While I don't believe it will drop off the charts in a month, 1989 hasn't even been out a week.

How can you be so idiotic?

Pink, Adele, Rihanna, Katy and many others sold more albums, singles and were successful at touring WW while BEYONCÉ only sold albums in the US and had a successful world tour, while no singles sales and very low albums sales WW. So they saved pop music a lot more IMO.

Pop didn't and still doesn't need to be "saved"

All lies + you avoided my actual argument.

Nice job.

Rihanna and Katy sold the same amount of albums as Beyonce and had MORE hits than Beyonce,

So it says more about them than her. The fact that she doesnt need hits to sell 4 million albums, and the other girls do.

not really saving pop music as everyone else still has ****y sales. Just making things more interesting and gives a little hope that someone could still sell that much.

Exaggerating is not the solution. Most popstars are more successful than her in many areas. She has never been in the level Taylor is now with 1989.

"BEYONCE" is on par with what Rihanna has sold. Unapologetic is at around 3.7-3.8 WW.

Stop acting like if Rihanna or Katy are shifting these huge numbers. P!nk is actually the one leading the pack along with Adele.

None of the girls execpt Madonna are touching Bey with touring so don't even try Trent.

That makes them a lot more successful. Selling singles and albums makes you a lot more successful than selling just albums.

I get not liking Bey (but he does because he admitted it in other threads, mess) but just trying to discredit her with blatant lies and talking crap is tragic.

I agree with not exaggerating, so why did you act like everyone is selling more and doing better at touring than Bey when there's receipts to prove that wrong?

Taylor is an exception, if we go by what you say then no one has ever been on Taylor's level except like Eminem and whoever it was that once sold 2 million first week. I think you know that's not true.

[monsterLd]

No

Yup, and that's why who was sitting at the top of Forbes with the earnings of $115M this year again?
