As for the rest of the tracks.... PRETTY HURTS! I feel like this song will at least get Gold Certification and may be one of the first uncharted singles to do so AND also to be Vevo-certified.
Flawless will probably receive 2x platinum in the next little bit after the cross-the-board success of the single, remix, and the streaming from all of the different music videos.
Mine will probably reach Gold by the end of the year, and If Urban decides to play it over the summer (like they did SOTS in the middle of the beydration) , platinum and the video blowing up are still not out of the cards. Bey and Drake working together again will only shed more light on this amazing song/theatrical video.
Last, we have Feeling Myself, which is still doing well. A video will only increase its' peak and put it onto Rhythmic Radio (as for Urban, a double-peaking song is possible, but usually it involves remixes).
When you look at the stats and certifications, WHAT AN AMAZING ERA THIS WAS! And without much promotion or pop radio airplay. This might have been a Diamond Era, and only gets me intrigued as to what future eras hold in store.
