4 did pretty much what it was set out to do, which was to put Bey in her own arena making her own sound. What don't they get about that. When you're going LEFT of everyone else with a mid/ballad heavy album of course it's not going to appeal to the pop masses.

They never take that into account. Who can even sell that much with an R&B record these days?

R&B?
Don't start getting technical now. The point is that Adele's album was just as "non-mainstream" as Beyonce's supposedly was but it still sold amazingly well.
Bey was also a superstar in the 90's with Destiny's Child.
And she is also still relevant today, maybe even moreso than Brit.
Beyonce never became a superstar until she went solo. She maybe more relevant today, but she has never reached Britney's superstar peak. Remember that Destiny's Child opened for Britney back in 2000?

4 is a R&B heavy album and that genre is not selling. Adele on the other hand had a very Hot AC type album and it wasn't as much of a risk as a pop star like Bey coming off the success of IASF.
