The way they chose to quickly forget all of this. 
If only the mods didn't decide to hand out warning points for bumping old threads...

Of course all those things helped as does anything you do career-wise prior to an album. They built her brand up. But you can't begin to downplay her success because she decided to tour after having a baby, because she took the offer to perform at the Superbowl, because she decided to make a documentary, etc.

But the tour was for 4,she never said anything about her album during any of those things so what does that have to with her dropping her album at the end of the year? At that point no one thought she would release an album use your common sense nuh

Even when the album dropped, people were predicting less than 200K her first week and non-longevity. Now, everyone is experts in her marketing strategy and knew she would slay.

I mean, can they not act like they weren't predicting this album to flop within the first 1 hour it was released?

Anything to undermine her success. Regardless how she does single-wise, she is THE BEST female performer today.

Yes you told me she wasn't a singles artist therefore does not do well single-wise. You did, not me.
I agree though I think she is successful, has done extremely well over her career and in the past month with her latest album and yes, I'd agree, she is the best female performer today. However you are contradicting yourself with every new post and this is what I'm taking issue with and replying for.

Those are just excuses you're making to feel better about her slayage. It's okay. Sooner or later you'll have to accept it and move on.

Yes, tell us how you really feel!!!!
So did the girls who have a Vegas tour, a documentary on tv, a X factor's huge exposure, a lead single from their album, radio interviews sell half of her numbers?
The album cost 19 euros in Europe, that's not cheap. It's a visual album so of course it comes with videos.

They stupid cause all those thing came all the way up in 2013, and the album came at the ending of the year so that doesnt have anything to do with her album now does it? LoL they pressed as always

There's always hype surrounding anything Beyoncé does. But when did she herself hype the album? She spoke about her influences in GQ 10 months ago.. that's about it.

Not being a single artist does NOT equal having low single sales, I didnt say that. YOU SAID THAT. Beyonce singles do sell well. She is an album artist and her albums sell well too.
And anything else on her name sell well. Beyonce is a brand, not just an artist/entertainer.
Good bye.
