It's not a flop, but only because of how frontloaded it was. If it wasn't for the surprise release, we'd be looking at another 4.

hahaha, haters so funny!
first of all ya'll acting as if her strategy of a sudden release wasn't risky as if it couldn't have backfired and flop.
i remember that at the day of the release many were saying she'll barely reach top5 on B200...
none of the curretn artist could have such an audacity and faith in him-herslef to do what bey has done, and non of them would pull those numbers.
single
S? what singles? Worldwide, there's been only XO, DIL was only usa urban single that was so huge that managed to outpeak XO everywhere despite not being a single. Partiton was urban only and it smashed there.
Non album singles, like Flawless have had such an impact on pop culture, bigger than most BH100 top 10 hits; "i woke up like this" and hand moves have had bigger impact than many "hit" songs these days.
But she don't curr, you know why? Because she has #1 tour with 230m, second STADIUM only tour that's already #2 biggest tour of all time in terms of income per show, hugely critically praised album, huge respect form critics and median and GP, #1 most powerful by time, billbord, forbes....
She has scored anything one artist can wish for!
