Taylor, P!nk, Katy, and Rihanna are the current successors. Lorde too, right?

It even says in the post that it has sold 3.2m

Which post are you referring to because it clearly states this:


WW Sales: 3,346,600 (unofficial figure) which comes from MusiCharts

So i'm assuming it's a reliable figure seeing as OP has stated that in the title as it sold that.

Even if we refer to those other sources and mediatraffic:

WW Sales: 3,191,000 (unofficial figure)

It still proves my point I illustrated that it has outsold prism and it won't be too surprising if it outsells Unapologetic in the long run

Pretty much. The main reason why Beyonce released the way she did was because she couldn't pull off a big lead single sales wises and it ended up backfiring into a front loaded mess. When DiL went to #2 on the hot 100 her stans acted like she had a 9 week #1 and yet the song is barely past the 1 mill mark. I mean even Russian Roulette outsold DiL

She outsold Prism. Deal with it.

[Jackson]

Yes and I've been saying this for months. We need a new pop girl because Katy and Rih are really the only ones that can still pull of anything.

Unapologetic had only like 7 promo spots, but okay.

And let's not pretend those 50m+ campaigns and Superbowl and hype release + 17 videos aren't promo

Don't forget the tour.

Since when 3.5 in 2 years is good when other artists are selling over 6 like Pink, Taylor, Bruno, Adele, JT is close to 5 etc

Since when are Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake girls?


And have Taylor really sold more than 6 million? Slay then

[The Governor]

Drunk In Love has sold 1M WW (without US sales) despite not being
an official single anywhere else.

[IsidoraMarí]

Right 17 Music videos the bitch shouldn't need promo...

She still has a 50%+ success ratio.

If we look at Gaga's last 8 singles she only has 2 hits, and maybe one moderate hit.

Applause was a huge hit
You and I was a hit
The edge of glory was a huge hit
Do what you want was a hit
GUY is still running
Marry the night is the only one that wasn't really hit in the U.S
Born was was a smash(bigger song than any song by most pop stars 9 M + WW record sales)
Judas was a hit outside of the U.S and it still was top 10 in the U.S and is more than likely at platinum in the U.S

There's more to slaying than just selling 99 cent singles. When you take tours, & albums into consideration Katy & Rihanna aren't dominating. Katy out sold Beyonce for a week or two, what about the 15+ weeks Beyonce has been outselling her? Beyonce has outsold her with no effort. If Beyonce promoted then this thread would be nonexistent. I'm not making excuses for her, but I'm stating facts. Beyonce isn't done selling, just wait for award season, because she actually WINS awards that will give her a sales boost.


Don't get me started on all the Prism discounts, while Beyonce is perched for $16

Unapologetic will sell more outside of the US tho.

[leo-j]

Why is Rihanna included in this? Rihanna had more flop songs than gaga if we compare artpop with unapologetic..

[Ash12345]

Taylor and Adele are still standing too.
Adele is on a completely different level though. After her next album she'll probably have sold over 50 million albums.
But they are easily two of the biggest stars today and their both
my faves.

It outsold PRISM so far but I was just correcting that it didn't sell 3.5m copies WW, the Beyhive just loves to inflate Beyonce's numbers

Those are not flops for ATRL.

Double platinum.. in the U.S and over 4 million sold world wide isn't a huge hit? #4 on BB Hot 100 isn't a huge hit?

[seaɴ.]

Nope. Beyonces up there with them too.
