I'm waiting to get the physical CD next Friday before I listen to the album but I am so excited. I've listened/watched all the previews and it looks good. Partition though... I cannot wait to be slayed by...
Will be interesting to see what the UK sales are then because those U.S figures are insane!! The buzz won't die down just yet, plus we still have physical sales to come. I know One Direction will be performing on the X Factor final tomorrow night and then there's the X Factor winners single...but I still think Beyonce could snatch the UK Xmas number one. People don't care about X Factor as much this year. Either way though, well done B!!
Let me guess. Your favourite past hits are Halo and Irreplaceable?:)
Ha! I did realise afterwards the only reason I liked them was that it reminded me of her other songs of that ilk.
I tend to always favour upbeat songs so my favs are BB, SD, GL (Freemasons Remix), WDYLM and Countdown, but Beyonce has got doing what I call, 'catchy ballads' down to a fine art!
No one had written off Bey at all. 4 may not have been the best seller of her career, but she never got no flack for it's underperformance.
I am really happy she is selling as many copies as it has. She's at her stage in her career and life where this is the music she should be doing. I have always found the majority of her albums as too safe. This isn't and i like that.

but rocket is so sexy
This isn't that great. I didn't like it, then I liked it, now I don't again.
Pretty Hurts is the only one that stands out.

That's crazy!! Just to clarify, that's 430K just in the U.S alone right?
good grief.:o that is eye watering figures considering a couple of days ago no one even knew it was coming.:D
Amazing.
So she basically topped EVERY female's first release week this year in a DAY!
OMG

And that is just the digital sales. When the physical release hits the stores before Christmas it will sky rocket.
Not the biggest Beyonce fan in the world (I am a fan though) but well done to her.

I'm not a huge Beyonce fan but this is a sold album from her. I love that it just came out of nowhere.
if it had only sold 100 copies would you like the album less? would it matter?
im just intrigued by it.
my favourite has to be drunk in love, i am glad there are no songs like 'irreplaceable' as i find that song nauseating.
Its just good to see one of your favourite artists doing so well.. especially as everyone had written her off for the year
Who had written her off? most people probably didn't even care, only the fans.
