XO helped selling the album

I saw several comments on amazon & itunes saying "i came here after hearing XO"

That's obvious, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't have done the same thing a few months later. With all the focus solely on it rather than having two great singles at the same time.

!!!!!! like after they say xo failing to take off and drunk in love charting fairly well without even being released they should've just pushed it and cancelled XO

It deserved so much more than what it got. XO is such a great pop track. I'm stlll hoping it will be used in an advertisement or film that ends up bringing it a second well deserved life!

Idk the single releases are messy as hell. She genuinely needs a smash single to take off this era. I applaud her team and herself for seling over 3mil in a little over 3 months, but still, they can't let this die now. I'm not worried, though. I'm 100% sure both Bey and her team got something under their sleeve.

yes don't worry 4M WW is on lock. 5M is still possible since there's still 2 big cards to play.

did you notice 2/3 of the album sales are from USA tho ?? her ratio is usually 1/2. imagine the slayage once it takes off WW If BLOW/PH pull a Get Lucky or Happy on WW market 5M is on lock.

It feels like this era lasted like two months.

You say that like you think it's over.

This era still has A LOT of life.

its because of the initial digital only aspect that the sales are skewed to the US.

but yes, she needs to get this album rolling outside the US and the countries shes touring in again

I mean promo wise. The tour is making it feel like the era is on hold.

Oh OK. I have to agree with you on that. I'm really hoping when she makes her way back to the States she host and performs for SNL, and visits at least The Tonight Show and The View for interviews and a performance. And she better do all the upcoming music award show up.

The album has sold great in most markets tho but yes,pretty hurts should be sent out to European radio this month.

[SuperLolita]

Pretty Hurt is an album seller !

I know! I went to check again and it's still #6, but 3 months later and still in the Top 10 on iTunes is pretty great!

This era seems over because she's not doing anything with it. I'll be glad when the tour is over.

[musicfan09]

She's doing great

[ThirdWardBey]

She's headlining the World Cup...

She still wont be doing any radio, late night tv talk shows, or any interview for that matter.
So waiting to be glad until the tour is over is kinda crazy. The only thing she'll probably do is a few of the awards shows that are coming up.

What exactly are you anticipating her doing ?

[Drais.]

There's not really much for her to do other than award shows.

I'd like to see her do some performances or interviews but it doesn't look like she's doing any.

[QueenBLadyG]

Not sure why y'all think she wouldn't do interviews. I'm gonna continue to hope for them.
