It's really baffling how the girls can jump from arguing about album sales to single sales in a snap when one or the other is doing better; especially in Beyonce's case. Her album is still #1 after almost 2 weeks.

It definitely cost more money to make Beyonce than Thrift Shop though. And Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are actually independent

She made more in 10 days, the album is nowhere near done selling, thats 3 times what their single made.

For instance, worldwide she already made $23,985,000 in 10 days.

Is this topic being made because her current pop radio single is out of the top 100 on itunes?

The KI is the money from the single sales are going to the label. Meanwhile Beyoncé is going straight into her pocket.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis earned a lot more money with Thrift Shop than that number in the OP because of the airplay.

Not really. There are a thousand ways to make profit from one song, not just sales.

Not to mention they didn't make 17 videos for it.

Don't need to take others down when Beyoncé is slaying like no other.

And you can bet Beyonce makes more doing whatever that is.

So my post stands.

Take the moneys for the videos.
Meanwhile, ALL the money from the song and the video(500mil.) goes to Macklemore and RL.

Pepsi.

How is 10 days when the album was released on December 13, and the tracking period ends on Sunday December 22? Monday, the 23rd's sales, aren't added to the total. She sold 1 million is 9 days.

you're wrong its priceless!
did you also factor in the price of 5 banners for 7 days
the songwriters and producers to beyonce's songs
the percentage of royalties that go to beyonce since she didn't write them

did you factor in the fact that macklemore is the first songwriter, that his songs get played more on the radio so he gets more that bey and the fact that macklemore is independent whereas columbia gets a cut.
