It is interesting to see that Lorde can keep up now with the weekly sales of Beyonce. I wouldn't wonder if she can beat her in the end of 2014.
You can bring on new sales strategies and succeed but in the end it's the quality of the music that goes the album sales. Beyonce is a strong album but so is Pure Heroine.
Further, Lorde is the first woman to have her debut album hit a million in sales since April 2011, when Adele's "19" cleared 1 million (week ending April 3).

The next single from "Pure Heroine" will be "Glory and Gore," which debuts at No. 88 on the Hot 100 this week. Billboard first reported that "Tennis Court" would be the third single, per Republic Records, but the label has since switched its plan to "Glory and Gore."
