Didn't we say this would happen? I'm telling you, the album is gonna flop. By this time next year, she won't even have 3 million in sales, mark my words. Basically, everyone who was interested in buying it has bought it. Now the album is so far down on the list on Itunes that even albums that came out months ago and years ago are ahead of her. Add in the fact that she released 2 singles that are flopping on Billboard and itunes as well.
I think it's safe to say that the album is officially a flop. The frenzy is over and no one is checking for this album any longer.

You can edit!
But, you might as well leave the typo up anyway, because in a few days, I'm sure it'll be true.

Oh yes, her star is falling. A whole year of hype "not album promtion" and she barely registered in the grand scheme of things. Another drive-by . She just can't stay on top these days. Poor thing.
If I were her I'd just give it up. Take the money I have, pay the major creditors I owe, file for bankruptcy and move to the north pole or something.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Disney princesses ousted Queen Bey from her three-week reign atop the weekly Billboard 200 album chart on Wednesday, as the soundtrack to Disney's latest film "Frozen" knocked Beyonce's self-titled album from the top spot.
The "Frozen" soundtrack sold 165,000 copies in the week ending January 5, and follows on the film's continued box office success since its November release, taking in more than $600 million (364.5 million pounds) worldwide. The soundtrack has sold more than 500,000 copies since its release in December.
"Frozen" follows the story of two princess sisters, one of whom later becomes queen of her Nordic kingdom but has special freezing powers, accidentally casting an eternal winter over their realm, which her sister tries to overturn.
R&B star Beyonce's self-titled album, released as a surprise without any fanfare last month, slipped to No. 2 this week with sales of 130,000. The album, which was released exclusively through Apple Inc's iTunes digital store on December 13 and was not available to other retailers until December 21, topped the chart for three consecutive weeks over the U.S. Christmas and New Years holiday period.
No new albums cracked the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart this week, following a quiet release week in the first week of the year. Overall album sales totaled 5.4 million over the past week, down 43 percent from the comparable sales week in 2013, Billboard said.

According to Nielsen SoundScan, the soundtrack's sales jumped 55%, making it a grand total of 165,000 in the week ending Jan. 5. It climbed from No. 4 to No. 1 on Billboard's album chart, knocking Queen Bey off her perch. Beyoncé's sales dropped 58%, with 130,000, making her grand total 1.43 million since the album's release.
With few album releases in the last week, Frozen has had plenty of wiggle room. The film blew over competition at the box office while the soundtrack made a strong showing on iTunes. Since Billboard's album chart started publishing weekly in 1956, only four animated film soundtracks have reached No. 1. The other three are Jack Johnson's Curious George (2006), and Disney's Pocahontas (1995) and The Lion King (1994).

^^^ The numbers don't lie, but Beyonce does.
I'd love to know ifthis album even sold an honest million. I'd also love to know what deal was reached with Itunes. What did Beyonce offer them in exchange for helping her put out a crappy album in that manner? It's not like Itunes stood to make a major profit off it. So what did she offer them?
Billboard has been known to shade Beyonce on the low and occasionally outright drag her so I wonder what she had to pay them for the little shine she got from them. Also I think Bey's team deliberately chose the quietest time to put out music so Beyonce had a chance of being on top of the charts for longer. didn't really work out seeing as she was knocked off by flippin cartoons. CARTOONS!

Her album, on ITunes, is now #39. How is it possible for "drunk in love" to be #15 on Billboards and not even appear on iTunes hot 100's? XO is now #72 and Pretty Hurts is #100 on iTunes list. Anyone to explain this? Can you still not buy a single off her album?

She's been selling singles now since the week after this album came out…I think the people that are into her have already bought the album and don't need the singles. Meanwhile the rest of us are aren't interested...  |

From pawsdownlittlemonsters.tumblr.com/  Beyonce’s album sold 746,000 copies worldwide in its first week. But she sold 617,000 copies in the US alone. Do you think you will be reading reports that she only sold 129,000 copies around the world? I doubt it. As a parameter for this observation, MDNA sold 740,000 copies in its first week around the world (only 6,000 copies less than Beyonce’s album). Madonna’s US sales, however, were a much more realistic and proportional reflection of her worldwide sales than Beyonce’s overly disproportional numbers: MDNA sold 359,000 copies in the US - the biggest musical market in the world (which represented 58% of the total digital music sales in 2012). It ended up selling 740,000 copies worldwide that same week. That, pretty much, reflects a proportional and realistic growth (saleswise). As for Beyonce, her disproportional numbers only make me believe that THIS theory is much more reliable than the numbers revealed as her US sales… Now let’s go to BASIC MATH: I’ll go easy on you (little idiots who want to give reductive Tina Turner a free pass): What is the TOTAL percentage of digital album sales worldwide? Oh! You guessed it right (I hope)! TOTAL means 100%. Good for you! Now let’s share this pie: The US represents 58% of that pie. The rest of the world represents 42%. Beyonce sales in the US was 617,000 copies (that’s that 58% from the previous paragragh, my little idiots). What’s the percentage of sales in the rest of the world? 42%, right? How many albums is that? Well, MATH says that if 58% means 617,000 albums, 42% should be 446,793 (math, folks, math. Logic. Not an opinion, okay?) Did Beyonce sell 446,793 copies of her latest abum in the rest of the world? No. Beyonce did NOT sell 446, 793 copies of her album outside the US at all.She sold only 129,000 copies (we are still talking digital albums, folks). That’s only 12% of the total worldwide sales (which should be 42%). That means that Beyonce’s sales ARE too DISPROPORTIONAL and INCONSISTENT. And isn’t that what this article is about? |
