when it sold like 650k it's first week and tbh I was kinda nervous but paying attention to album sales this year Bey pretty much ended up on top. I specifically wanted to see how other huge stars like Bruno Mars & Lady Gaga did and they got less than half of that and they promoted their albums + had multiple streaming services unlike Bey who was complicated as hell and only allowed people to listen from Tidal until she released it on itunes after the hype died down.
People need to realize the days of selling millions of albums in the first week is over with the exception of Adele & Taylor Swift (or Drake I guess). People just don't buy music anymore so unless you're America's sweet heart, enjoy the 6 figure sales (for the first week!). #Lemonade
lemonface Don't forget about B'day! That whole album is a BOP. But yes i'm mad at how 4 is so underappreciated. Idk what happened but it sold half of all her previous albums. I think people wanted stuff like Single Ladies and were disappointed lmao
although i also love 4 which is super underrated. timster
