The official Billboard numbers at this time are 430k in a day. HDD has it going up to 500k for two days. And predictions are being made for at least a 600k debut.
When will anyone else?

Even just for the surprise release, YAS.
No lies detected.

250k in Australia alone
Dammm, did she even expect this amount of success??
-edit
the 250k number is strange. What do they mean, and only for AUS? Such a vague article.

I don't mind Ghost being attached to Haunted and Yoncé being attached to Partition. If anything, I like it because I don't care for short interlude-esque tracks.

Just the whole idea behind this album is genius. What makes it complete is the high quality of the music and the video's.
She's delivering.

She probably had advanced warning of the Beynami.
likely
it does seem odd that she didn't release this fall when she did for the last 4 years

Yeah, that's strange. The illuminati got to her.
I wonder if Rih knew anything about this stealth released. Yes, or no, she has to listen to the boss anyway.

I love Drunk in Love because she actually looks drunk there. That messy choreo, or the lack of it lol. It's charming.
The Carter's are distributing their income throughout the year. Rihanna 8 in spring/summer as BEYONCE stops slaying the charts.
You mean should could have had better opening sales and chart positions?
Kii. I was ready for Bey to flop tbh. But did I lie? She was irrelevant for most of the year before she dropped the album of the year and cunt punched every bitch out of the game.
Having a fan base and music people are here for? Or enough support that her record label will actually put her on tour?
So are artists supposed to have a single out every month of the year? Bey doesn't wanna serve fast food like Rih, she's gotta take her time and stew that goodness.

I wonder if artists do start feeling a little shady to their peers because of fans? I know Katy was just as happy as the rest of us for Bey's return but then the pics and gifs with her in it, I wonder if she felt a type of way?
I feel like I would a little. As a newer artist in the game that obviously isn't on levels of Bey to pull something like this off. To throw me in her Beypocalypse would make me fume a bit. Like, Bitch I'm coming for your neck next year.

The craziness is some of those countries just went through natural disaster, probably got no Internet and still managed to buy the album. Damn son. Beynado for real.
But wait, if this album is doing so well, how the hell did 4 do so bad? Was it the leaks that killed the album?
Edit: I got to give it up to her producer Boots. The guy became a superstar in 48 hours. His business lines opened up like crazy. Since he's part of Roc Nation.... I think we can be percheD for Rihs return. He makes witch house music with a mix of R&B and hip hop. The Carter family just got a whole lot richer.

35 thousand more copies than xtina's latest effort, and with next to no effort. Plus a $30 million residency deal. Yeah, I bet Brit is wishing every night to have xtina's career prospects, ha!
Oh
That's right
There are still some people who believe that Vegas residency won't end up being a gigantic embarrassment.

Isn't Britney hanging it up tho? My BFFL told me that since Broken Jean flopped, she was thinking of retiring.
I never thought the residency was going to do her any justice. It was dumb to begin with and was the nail in the coffin in her career. Once you go Vegas, you never come back from Vegas. That's strictly a legacy act and if your as big as Britney, she shouldn't have been there. She can't dance as good, she can't sing, and no one cares anymore.
I can't even be harsh on Xtina so much because her career resides in a seat but at least she's more active there than Brit has been in the last couple of years. Brit could of came out strong but will.i.am killed her. She should of never.

There's been rumours of her 'retiring' but that has nothing to do with BJ's performance. She's mentioned that after her residency she'd like to have another couple of kids.
I'm sure BJ would have performed a lot better if she got out there and promoted it a bit, but it's been more like a side project for her, all the attention has been on the tour. She's been rehearsing almost constantly for the last 4 months now. And I'm sure the show is going to be great, her type of music almost seems perfect for the party atmosphere of Vegas.
Plus I think the bolded is rubbish. You don't think Celine, Shania or Elton could sell out if they went back on the road again? In fact, I'm sure Elton is. [E] Just checked and Celine also had a sold out tour between her residency.
She thoroughly punched me out of the game with her alberm. I haven't listened to any other songs over the past 48 hours. This alberm and Queen Drake's will be the only ones I will be using as we transition into 2014. It has been a SHIT year for music aside from these two [ m a s t e r p i e c e s ]
But if we're comparing Britney's equivalent album it would be FF, which thrashed Bionic.
And Britney Jean still outsold Lotus.
And Britney is still making bank on Vegas.

Driver, roll up the partition, fast
Over there I swear I saw them cameras flash
Handprints and footprints on my glass
Handprints and good grips all on my ass
Private show with the music blasting
He like to call me Peaches when we get this nasty
Red wine drip, talk that trash
Chauffer eavesdropping trying not to crash
Oh there daddy, d-daddy now you ripped my fur
Oh baby, b-baby be sweatin' out my hair
Took 45 minutes to get all dressed up
We ain't even gonna make it to this club

I am still in awe of this album.
Pretty Hurts makes me cry.
I am PUSHING for it to become the lead single.
The video is perfection.

I had to check out at least one Beyoncé song due to all this hype, so I decided to check out Partition on YouTube. I'm slayed.

500K sales in 48 hours? Holy shit.
#BOWDOWN
Also, I am not against BLOW being the lead single. Good choice.
That, and Drunk In Love. What perfect strategy.
Looking forward to XO as a single in January.
But when will Pretty Hurts?
