How much did her previous albums sell first week? And is that one of the biggest first week sales this year (besides Gaga)?

This is her weakest album. Sales will hugely decrease next week like Lady Gaga.

Expected more from her with the amount of producers and writers she had on her plate.

OMG ! I'm sorry for her. I hope next time she will come out with a killer lead single that is actually indicative of the album's concept

Why are you sorry for her? Her album is No.1 on 14 countries. It's done a lot better than people expected considering the lead single didn't take off and the whole album leaked a whole month before it was released.

Better first week sales than Britney, Rihanna, Katy Perry, J Lo, Ke$ha and they all had hits.

You said it yourself. 2 months ago she was Hurricane B and SOME people said that she would slay GaGa, but now you have to compare her sales to Ke$ha's , Rihanna's and Katy's respective sales. Also, I'm sorry because I know that she has hardcore fans/stans in the US purchasing 3/4 even 5 copies each so that makes the sales figure kind of...bad...Not that it's going to harm her

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to start comparing.

All Beyonce fans/stans use the same excuse ; "she didn't have a hit". Is this so difficult to understand that by saying that you're not making her album sales look better by any means, but you're actually saying that her whole era has partly flopped??

Number 1 singles aren't always music that will live forever. The amount of people the album reaches determines that more and more and the amount of coverage, big moments etc. (i.e. Glastonbury and the Millenium award).

The phrase 'clutching at straws' springs to mind. Thank God she didn't compromise her music by going down the robotic, computer generized pop sound that seems to be so popular these days. And it paid off. As I said 'WINNING'.

All artists have fan who by the album multiple times so that's not a point really. I don't know who was saying she would slay GaGa but it was obvious she wasn't gonna sell the same amount. I'm just trying to say how she is doing a lot better than anyone thought she would after a single that didn't really do well.

I was only comparing because some people will try and still label this album a flop, I'm just showing how her first week sales have done a lot better than the others. I love Rihanna so I'm not trying to bring her down.

It's actually making her look better if she can sell more albums than people that have had No.1 hits.

Do people REALLY do this? My god that is really sad. These people need to see a shrink. I dont mean Beyonce fans. Fans of ANY artist who feel they have to buy more than 1 copy of an album to help the sales must be a bit disturbed

i love beyonce! but why is this big news ? all you are stating is that she has sold less copies of her new album in the first week than she did of all her other albums
i really am enjoying the new album, but it wont do as well a her previous albums, which imo were far superior anyway.
I also dont get fhe praise for her that she 'didnt go down the electronic route'. why would she of ever done that anyway??! for starters artists like ke§ha are in the minority anyway.
believe me i utterly adore beyonce, posters all over my wall to back that up! but i dont see why some people feel the need to turn it into some sort of competition! especially witb all these bizarre comparisons to other artists

Nope!Not really.A successful LEAD single is pretty much 30% of the era, so when the fans admit that the single was a flop, then it's like saying almost half of the era has flopped.

I was just trying to explain why I think that the sales are bad.
Every artist has stans, but not every stan feels the urge to buy 5 copies. I assume that she has about 15,000 stans, which means that this select group alone is responsible for 75,000 copies of the overall sales With their support and all the promotion that she had, anyone would expect at least 350K. I'm not saying that she flopped, but the sales are underwhelming at best

Every artist has a hardcore following who will purchase additional copies (for friends and relatives). This applies universally so you can't use this logic to diminish the outcome vis-a-vis any other artist you happen to mention.
