Aaaanndd?

Most major artists have had a flop album. You can't deny this fact.

It's just that Bey's biggest flop still managed to sell 3mnl units. It even outsold Born This Way last year...

Of course.

My point was that Bey's career at this moment isn't the healthiest out there.

Not sure what the Born This Way comment was about. Neither was released last year and neither managed to pass 1 million units world wide for the whole year. In total it is still 6 million vs 2.1 ....... not really a fight.



(Not sure where your 3 million units # is coming from.)

Bey sold that much with no hit single? :O

Yeah I was surprised. Checking the charts the total number of albums sold is probably between 2.1 - 3 million. Though 3 million would be a maximum and I think its much closer to the lower end.

She sold about 1 million in the first month so it had fairly decent legs.



It is important to note that her first two singles actually did fairly well in the UK. Which no doubt helped her sales.

I think there's a receipts thread over at atrl.

Total 4 sales only in Uk & Us are 1.9mln

I'm sure that if you'd count the sales in the other countries you'd be adding at least 500k sales for sure.

Probably. it was 2.1 million WW at the end of the year in 2011.

It has probably sold a couple hundred thousand since then. I am skeptical that it could have gotten up to 3 million though.

2,1 mln ww by the end of 2011. And we know that she sold almost 300k albums last year in NA . So that's 2,4mln ww for sure. That's not even including the other countires in 2012. And the album seems to have great legs. I'm sure the album will peak at 3mln tho.

And I really hope she'll be debuting new material during the half-time.

Receipts thread says 2.4-2.6 million WW depending on which tracker you use.

I agree. She better debut some new material or I will rage lol.

Only reason I am watching is the possibility.
