KI at MASSIVE. Her Oprah performance & AI performance were like a month before the albums release, and the BB Awards is nobody's highest rated anything.

I'm not trying to be part of this whole Britney vs. Bey fight but I don't get why people are denying Bey's massive promo/exposure. Over 61.4 million people were exposed to Beyonce's new music.

This is some of her recent promo in the US:
BB Awards - 8 million (viewership)
AI Finale- 29.3 million
BET Awards - 7.7 million
Oprah Finale - 16.4 million
Piers Morgan
ET Tonight
Target Commercial
Magazine Covers (Essence, W, Billboard, etc.)

[GaGaFan]

That's pretty damn good with a flop lead single.

[UnusualBoy]

There are too much hypocresy in this thread but w.e congrats to Bey let's not forget these are predictions not the oficial numbers

BYE, music sells worse and worse every year. Britney's 4th album in 2003 and Bey's fourth album in 2011 is not comparable. You tried.

Why arent they?

They're BOTH their 4th efforts.

ADELE is doing 100K+ a week and Gaga did 600K W/O the .99 cents so that music sales are worse ******** you can save.

Yeah they were trying to act smart saying, Bey is a pop artist whether you want it or not and she will push Bionic numbers considering how bad RTW perform. And now that they are proving wrong they have the nerve to say these numbers are a mess? Pure ****ery.
Let's not talk about the bad reception RTW got, the bad rating on Itunes, are people throw her under the bus because they hate the single.

O ****ing kay!!!

They called it Beyonic. Didn't Bionic do 140K first week? A mess, and now that they see it'll slay that they wanna try and push it to FF. They wanna come in here and try to throw shade at Bey's predictions after 2 flops singles, but praised Britney's after 2 hits.

So now Britney stans are claiming her first two singles were flops

I said from the start that Hold It Against Me was a glorified buzz single. Jump to my posts, the proof is in the pudding.

And on the other hand, Till the World Ends was NOT A HIT until after the remix dropped. After it's debut at #8 or #9 -- the song hovered around in the teens-twenties until the remix propelled it up.

Get your facts together boo, it's not a good look on any of you.

I'm done talking to the blind. Enjoy your "respectable" sales just as I have with Femme Fatale.

You are done because your points were debunked.

TTWE had hit the top 10 before Femm Fatale but it fell back out of the top 10 by the time Femme Fatale was released. Beyonce's not going into 4's release week with a hit single, and neither did Britney with Femme Fatale.

Beyonce has 2 singles out of the top 50, TTWE was still in the top 15 when the album came out. So the situations are different.

Either way i never understood why people called opening with 276K in the us a flop. I'd understand if you called FF a flop "NOW" because of it's total sales, but Britney still managed to open with more than kesha and katy perry did (combined actually), as well as rihanna with hardly any promotion, and those albums were released in the Summer & "Christmas season" where sales are generally high and had huge hits preceding them, whereas sales are HIGH and FF was released in March, where sales are naturally low.

Just saying...

BET don't buy albums or do a thing for sales, and I seriously doubt Morgan or ET will do anything for her sales.

As I stated earlier AI & Oprah were a month ago, and she performed a BALLAD on AI. Plus the video on AI & her Oprah performance along w/ BB DID their jobs. It wasn't to promote the album, but her lead single, and RTW rebounded on the charts.

Magazine covers.

Bionic did 110,000 units.

[NEUTRON]

I bought my copies but I'm not happy with these sales...

At the end of the day the "KING" of Pop & R&B should not be doing anyones 300K. ESPECIALLY not fresh off receiving a Millennium Award from Billboard.

Her stans are pushing more units than her.

Anyways, congrats to Beyonce. At least Britney waited until her 5th album to pull in "respectable" sales....I guess the King really is slaying records this era.
