Lol not that hard to beat. Her team bombed that era. It sold 3m WW in the first two months, and then they focused on the tour and just let it plummet. It had potential to sell 5m+.
I am just wondering how 2004ney would do today.
If "3" had been on the album and released as the third single (with promo) it could have sold 5m+ And she had "Telephone" too but dropped it...that era could have been so much more.
After hearing Sex Dreams I have decided I might actually buy ARTPOP and not illegally download it but based on the cover IDK!!!!! Oh god which should I do
"Work Bitch" still sold 174,000 first week. That's 97k higher than Beyonce's last lead single and 43k higher than Rihanna's last lead single. And the song is still Top 20 on iTunes.
Do people think that they because Diamonds had weak debut then it means that any song that sells more than that is going to become as big?
"Work Bitch" was an awful lead single choice It's only appropriate for gay clubs, Scream & Shout worked because it had a generic rapper on it to make it straight friendly.
