For example, BEYONCÉ was at 1.9 million after three weeks, and it's at 3.28 million now. It was very front-loaded.

According to fomoswikipedia, front loaded sales is when an album sales big numbers (mostly because of hype) for a week or three and dies off quickly, right?  |

Well, yeah, but... members tend to make front-loading sound bad or intentional. I thought a company
or a record label can
choose to have their beginning sales front-loaded? And that's why people
use it as a negative, because those first week album sales "aren't real?" I don't know.
For instance, if front-loading is random and can't be helped, then why is it a negative?
