The album has a television ad in heavy rotation this week on major networks. It should be able to sell well over what they are predicting for the 2nd week.
lol at "Beyonce's drop" when her second week, digital-only, limited promo release is resulting in higher numbers than those pathetic first week releases this year who spent millions on campaigning . I can taste a pinch of bitterness.
Performing at award shows and festivals all over the world.
I wouldn't be surprised if the physical sales response is so strong that she reaches 400k this week.
This is what I'm thinking. A lot of people that bought the digital one still want the physical one. And a lot of people don't have access to Itunes. So I can see her reaching 350-400k this week and around 250-300 next week.

I'd put Britney lower than that but it's definitely clear Beyonce had basically none.
I do think a growing anticipation surrounding Beyonce all year and knowing her album would be out this year was the smartest promo I've ever witnessed!

, the same way they're able to predict other artist sales (physical or otherwise) before the album is released
