The whole baby thing stopped this era from potentially pushing the album closer to 1.5 million by New Years, but not a bad thing necessarily. I'm hoping "End of Time" gets a video and it's pushed to end the era.
Album sales are a true indicator of star power and dedication, so I'm really happy that Bey is doing so amazing in the album department in the biggest and most important music market in the world. And I bet all those solo albums also made it to #1 right?
Oh, how I wish I could share this moment of joy with other less unfortunate stanbases
Her 4 album is getting lots of year end critical praise so it could have a second wind. Its grossly under-achieving commercially. That said, I think she'd rather have the critical acclaim at this point.
