75% coming from the US, around 10% from the UK. Hmm, those are impressive sales nonetheless, can't deny that.

That 10% outside the US is more than Lotus & Bionic WW.

210k overseas in just 3 days is impressive, considering it was only available on itunes. In many countries, such as mine, itunes is quite irrelevant and most album buyers still buy physical.

1D who is arguably one of the most global acts right now sold 660k overseas during its first WHOLE week and with physical release in most countries.

Let's say 3/4 of those people who downloaded want a physical copy, that's 621,750 for next week.

Plus a few extra sales for Christmas gifts...

I'm buying three

LOL, I stan for B more than Usher but drag.

All that is amazing & stuff, but those kind of retorts are irrelevant to the discussion. Like the fact that you can't grasp how someone COULD BE genuinely confused about her selling 600K in the US & only 200K outside. You guys acting like it's unreasonable to be even just a little surprised by that.

...i don't even know what some of you were expecting. i didn't expect her to do more than 800k. 3 Days, 1 Reatailer. and even in big markets like Germany

so ****ing amazing! QUEEN!

i mean even in the 3rd (or 4th again...idk) biggest music market Germany 3-4k are enough to be #1 on iTunes. so im more than satisfied with 200k outside the US.

They need to be asking when their faves gonna do it, instead of being worried about her outselling the others girls total album sales in a matter of weeks. BET.

[Swim]

And I was predicting 500k in a full week

[cats&fashion]

In addition, let's look at how NO ONE even thought these numbers would be possible

Hive please this is what the haters always wanted,to get us defensive so that we can loose focus and not celebrate the Queen's achievement.Haters have been schooled enough,now it's time to celebrate and ignore the stupid ones who choose to remain ignorant despite the facts tossed at them left,right and center.

[Chemist]

Right? it's hard to call her local because of this. She is undeniably bigger in the US than everywhere else - but she's still big everywhere else.

QUEEN!!! Congrats to Bey on having the highest 1st week for any female in 2013. And for the Beyhive this is beautiful day not only did our queen win but she just destroyed all these other basics.

ATRL will never have anything to hold against Bey because she probably already scalped your fave.

EDIT: This is also her highest first week sales as a solo artist!!! 16 yrs in and still topping herself!!!

No, I don't think so or at least they didn't make it as eventful as this time

[Xalric]

Lemme celebrate that Yonce outsold everyone effortlessly while she was watching Scandal. I bet All the thirsty ATRL girls bought it cause she's a freak in the sheet like us...
