lol, I just don't even see how some of y'all are getting mad or defensive right about now, by no means am I a Bey hater, It would be hard for me to even name you anything of hers I dislike so chillax. Are y'all gonna jump down everyones throats who don't say word for word what you wanna hear?
Anyways let me repeat I love the song and I am anticipating the music video, let's just leave it at that since conversations can't go to any other area without defensive stan syndrome kicking in.

The young kids and specifically the fans on ATRL have become obsessed with instant single success and the focus they put on that is why albums aren't being moved by their respective favorite singers. 400,000 people can spend $1.29 in a week, but those same 400k will not be up for spending $20 on a full album because the woman in question doesnt mean that much to them. Like Alicia Keys, Beyonce has a very steady fanbase that will buy her full album based on one thing alone and that is her name. And while some will say that the iTunes single should do the same you are forgetting something, Beyonce is 29 almost 30 years old, most of her casual fans and stans are 20 and older. Run The World was my first time purchasing a digital single by Beyonce and my second ever because it wasn't my thing, I bought the albums though like most. Another thing is, the other girls have singles that take off not based on their name (minus Gaga) but because people like the song, some people dont like RTWG yet, but they will in the future more than likely, and as long as it goes 2x platinum I am good. Rolling In The Deep is a song not many understood or knew when it came out in November 2010 because they are too immature or young to understand it but they eventually got around to liking it 6 months later and it is currently #1 on iTunes in the USA as well as other countries. Chances are this will be Beyonces highest debut on the Hot 100 which a lot of people probably dont know because they know nothing about Beyonce or her charting success, one thing they need to know is that we ALWAYS get the last laugh always. They said B'Day would flop and she opened with over 500k without a #1 single, sold 3 million before Irreplaceable was released and sold another 3 million based off of that single and Beautiful Liar alone. People said I Am...Sasha Fierce would flop because it was contrived and forced, yet it sold 7 million and broke down doors among other things for her. Underestimating Beyonce (who makes over $80 million a year) is a thing only a fool with absolutely no knowledge in music would do, which is the only reason I am not currently having a huge meltdown and throwing tantrums. If this was anyone but Beyonce I would be bothered, but as she has shown, her talent on the stage alone can send a song skyrocketing and her voice alone can sell an album.
Good day.

Beyonce is a great live performer, but musically she's all hype. Her music grows stale after a few listens.

Your a Ciara stan!

I don't think you are a hater, I actually think you make a lot of sense. But this is a Beyonce thread, so you can't expect them to not believe or at least want to believe you are being shady because you stan for Rihanna. And unfortunately on ATRL, Rihanna and Beyonce stans don't get along very much.

Well then let me say yes, I absolutely love Rihanna but I've ALWAYS been a Beyonce fan. So I hope to be able to discuss both ladies without worry. And I'm not even knocking Bey, I have 108 plays of Run the World on my iTunes.
ONE HUNDREAD AND EIGHT.

Im srry , but being tht you know about the fued between Beyonce & Rihanna stans, why would you knowingly come here & w/out anyone asking, automatically compare her to Beyonce, then not to expect us to see you as a hater? Those comparisons between the two are old so please just stop.

1. Congratulations, you have just described every fan base known to man.
2. In your opinion. But the facts are that "hype" has awarded her sixteen grammys, millions of albums sold, sold out tours, 13+ years in the industry, and many other musical accolades. You not liking her music is one thing. But hype can only get you so far.

If you look at my posts I wasn't comparing Beyonce to Rihanna, I was comparing her first out of the gate single for the era performance on iTunes compared to all the other girls collectively but I also defended it with the statement that I think Bey stans are more physical purchasers then digital (did you even read?) Later is when somebody brought up album sales and I RESPECTFULLY mentioned that Rihanna's album is selling at a very fast rate and I hope she can sell as much as I Am...Sasha Fierce.
So... what is the problem?

If I shade it's only to the rude ass stans on Twitter not to Beyonce. I'm sorry that some stans have just been so awful through time (Beginning of Rated R era) that this is a lot of peoples time for vengeance. And really I'm not bad at all, I could easily be much worse.
And why would I lie about loving Beyonce? To please some folks over the Internet that I don't even know? Psshhtt.
