She needs something epic to really pull numbers.
On another note: I don't know why some of the BeyHive pretend that Alicia Keys was some fad. The chart receipts, especially compared to Bey's, say otherwise.  |
No mam, hold on bitch.
GOF could have been huge, especially considering how many times it was performed, at the VMAs on top of it (The PLACE for pop performances to see iTunes boosts). People seem to be over Alicia, her era of music is done, she needs a Sia sort of song and she could smash, especially since she writes. A session with Ellie, Lana, or Lorde could fix her.
All her other singles made no impact while LOT was successful worldwide and so was BTINH. Beyonce stopped promoting in Sep 2011 and still sold 1.4 million in the US.
The Hot 100 All Time list told the tea and so did the decade list.
