…and the good news keeps on coming!
Well, that is if you consider a fan of Pop Queen Beyonce.
One of the millions who purchased her latest self-titled CD?
Find out how you helped the entertainer outperform herself after the jump!
Four weeks after its release, the ‘Drunk In Love‘ backed ‘Beyonce‘ has gone a long way to prove the star stands as her only competition, by outselling her 2011 release ‘4’!
Billboard explains:
“Beyonce” sold 130,000 copies in the week ending January 5, 2014, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That brings its cumulative sales sum up to 1.43 million — hopping over the total of “4,” which stands at 1.39 million.
The latter album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 310,000 in its first week. It then held at No. 1 for a second frame, selling 115,000. In its second and third weeks, it moved 72,000 and 53,000, respectively.
To compare, “Beyonce” debuted at No. 1 with 617,000 in its first chart week (which actually reflected only its first three days of sales), and then moved 374,000 and 310,000 in its second and third weeks at No. 1.
Beyonce’s three previous studio albums, “I Am…Sasha Fierce” (released in 2008), “B’Day” (2006) and “Dangerously In Love” (2003), all hit No. 1, and have sold 3.12 million, 3.36 million and 4.91 million, respectively.”
Quite interestingly, despite its November 2012 release, Rihanna‘s well received ‘Unapologetic‘ now finds itself cowering in the shadows of the aforementioned chart topper.
Yes, rather unfortunately for the singer’s fans, their inability to push its US sales past the 1.2 million mark has seen it body slammed by ‘Beyonce’, which has now sold more units in one month than it has sold in over one year.
#NowPlaying: Prophetess Libra – ‘Break Me Off’…
But she cant outpreform Adele or Taylor…..
Poor Rihanna kiiiiiiiiii…
CONGRATS watch them come in and seeeeethe!
RIHANNA AND BEYONCE ARE BOTH GREAT. ALL THE CATTINESS AND SHADE IS NOT NECCESSARY. WE NEED MORE FEMALE UNITY WITH THE DIVAS, LIKE WITH WHITNEY AND MARAH.
And the Stan Wars are going to begin in 5…….4………3…….2……..1…. and they are off!!!!!
And the Navy thinks the Hive is mad lol.
lmao the navy is f****** pathetic only good for 1.29 singles… lmao
Lmao @ you messy shady F*** posting a gospel video. Ain’t nothing Christian about y’all. You all had the nerve to co-sign that Ciara letter when you’re the main culprits!
F*** Beyonce and the Hive. 😀 Yeah I said it!
Stan wars are played out. What does Rihanna have to do with this? Beyonce’s album has sold better than alot of other artists as well.. Why are u singling Rihanna out? THREATENED !!!! Using these two to gain hits is very tired. Sam encouraged all of this crap, do not feed into it..
True boss b****
* Sips ice cold sweet TEA*
WTF is a $1.29 single again??? 😀
Still no #1 single? Poor dat!
rihanna has been hiding out ever since Beyonce’s album release! Ha! Now more bad news!
must suck to be a navy
Ooop #KARMA for the Navy bullying her in the other post over something stupid. Don’t think they aint know.
Bey stays winning and she really hasn’t even started yet.
and don’t forget how beyonce got knocked off by an animated feature soundtrack called frozen which sold 165,000 this week!! and that album was released in freakin November!!
Ha ha to the f****** ha ha. WHAT NOW indeed!
SLAYONCÉ! BEYONCÉ SNATCHED THESE B****** FACES OF THIS ERA! JUST WAIT UNTIL THE QUEEN STARTS DOING PROMO !!!
Neither can your fav. That’s the real shade.
And Globally she’s surpassed Taylor, so let’s not. When it comes to black artists, this includes Rihanna, they do not sell as much to begin with because their target audience is smaller and within that audience, how many black people buy music? That’s no shade, it’s true. And don’t bring rap into this because the majority of rap fans are white. Ever been to a Kanye concert? Jay Z? Aight. So for Beyonce and even Rihanna to be selling the way they are is fantastic. And y’all love bringing up Taylor like she didn’t discount her album and was handing it out at local pizza spots for FREE. Let’s not doooooo it.
Congratulate Queen Beyonce and keep it pushing =)
Frozen soundtrack was discounted hun.. TRY AGAIN! kii
Oooooooooooooops.
LMBAO removed from the Number ONE spot by a Soundtrack Album hahahahaha…. Yasssssssssssssss!!!!!!! this post just gave me life!
That album aint hitting no 2x platinum in this decade so you BeeHive will have to try again
Watch sales slip below 50K next week
Its OFFICIAL… 4CLOSURE was a FLOP! and that album will not see 2x platinum figures period!
Good effort but every single is flopping and the sales will fade further next week
#WatchAndSee
Eaux neaux!
Great Congrats Queen Bey – You Are The Number One!!!!!!
Awww @TC that’s only because it was discounted for the week. Bey is still selling at FULL PRICE. Hang it up FLATSCREEN you can’t shade her right now.
Meanwhile she did so by offering a few million dollars worth of videos in the package
NO COMPARISON
Let Rihanna or anybody else release a video for every track for 16.99, then compare
Did beyonce even make back the $$$ put into the videos? NOPE
Always pitting the black girls against each other. There is no need to even bring up Rihanna. This site is racist and moronic. Congrats to bey
LMAO!! The navy is forever talking a lot of s***! Like they say, the numbers don’t lie 😀
And this is the s*** Ciara was talkin about in her letter and TGJ has the nerve to think Ciara wasnt talkin bout them this post is so messy and uncalled.
The Navy are only good for buying singles. #Cheap.
NOT the Navy coming for something their fave can’t even do AHAHAHAHA. This just gets better and better.
Nobody wants to see two black girls doing well theres only room for one.
LMFAO!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSS QUEEN!
Stop fighting! You should be happy black artist are winning. Beyoncé & Rihanna are black megastars that’s running the industry. I’m proud of both of them.
CONGRATS TO THE QUEEN! THE HIVE DON’T NEED TO CLING TO OTHERS SONGS RIGHT NOW YOU SEE!!!
This made my day!
Haha, I see the Rihanna stand still talking about Beyonce can’t get a #1 single. Chile byeeee Beyonce has had those and plus 17 Grammys so you tell me who the f*** is winning? #Oop
@No wigs snatched. Those videos didn’t cost millions because she was on tour in those places already. Please don’t pull figures out of your ass. Just acknowledge her success.
When it suits the Navy, it’s ok for them to drag Beyonce when someone drags Beyonce they start talking about unity. Elle oh elle!
WE WON! YOU LOST!
At the end of the day, its Beyonce. When has/will she ever fail? Ever her first “flop” CD [4] flipped above and Beyond your favs. So, email your fav and plead them to just stop trying.
But she cant outpreform Adele or Taylor…
—————————————–
Almost 20 years in the game (Longevity)
17 Grammys (Impact)
2 100mil+ tours (Impact)
Artist of the Decade(Impact)
5 #1 albums (Impact)
With only 5#1 singles – 36 weeks (in the top 10 of all time for most weeks at #1 accumulated by any artists ever) – Dat mutha F**king impact!
She won!
*waits for some desperate stans to bring up Pink (which none of them stan for)…
Truly shameful.
Watch the queen CONQUER!! All this while perched on a sofa unbothered about any promo or anything! Lawd Jesus, this woman is something else!! loves her!
OH MA GARRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH! The Queen is slaying so effortlessly. Rihanna hunty, I’m sorry about it!
Who needs a #1 single when the whole album itself is shitting Bricks made of Diamonds and rubies? Tbh.
Not the “queen” being outsold by a animated movie soundtrack lmmfao! Oh Bey.
Beyonce is great.
That goes to show you the power of Beyonce. These other girls need 100 albums and 1.29 singles to “seem” like they are slaying, when they ARE NOT!
I’m so happy Beyonce doesn’t have to d*** ride trends and lower her standards to chart with these LESSOR girls! kiii
She sales REGARDLESS!! LOOOOOL
f*** beyonce. f*** rihanna. Katy Perry is a true artist, and the queen of pop. The best performer since Michael Jackson.
TGJ wanna be shady as usual. Why dont you talk about how unapologetic sold over 10xs the singles “4” did as well as Unapologetic outperforming “4”s WW sales in less than a year. Wack asses just wanna start stan wars!
HOW ARE YOU PUTTING THE ONLY TWO BLACK GIRLS WHO CAN SCAN A MILLION IN AMERICA AGAINST EACH OTHER? NO WONDER WHY WHITES LAUGH AT US WERE TO BUSY BEING AGAINST EACH OTHER THEN UNITING BUT WHATEVER.
The Navi are such flops. Just look at all the shame you caused your fav.
Not only was Frozen discounted, it only sold like 30K more. And Beyonce profited $7 million more lol. THAT is the real shade.
Still selling like 75% of your favs highest first week sales. KIIIIIIIII.
Chile NOT Rihject only having 1 #1 album with 800 albums! kiii
The shade is, if she would have released her album last week, She would be sitting in THIRD place! BYE
How funny! The Navy want to play nice and talk about black women sticking together now? You weren’t saying that when you dissing Beyonce and Ciara in all the other threads were you?
Mariah Carey looks like a big ass albino whale. She hasn’t a hit since 1755. Flop b****.
Oh so now they wanna talk about black girls uniting just because this post isn’t to your advantage. Tf outta here.
Why are the C Section laughing when Ciara has been relegated to the baby mama league?
@Jay Scorpio but when has Rihanna stayed on top of the charts for 3 weeks?
But she also slayed Lana Gaga Ciara and Katys album so why are yall laughin like yall really bandwagoning for bey this hard no noticing she slayed ur favs too.
All stanning aside, the Navi look real stupid talking about unification when they spend most of their time pitting their own fave against Beyonce, Ciara and PromiscuRita.
How can she out perform Rihanna when Rihanna didn’t release anything this year? Hive logic smh.
$16>>>>>>>$1.29
Yet the navy call the Hive broke and ghetto? Ironic much?
Nothing’s worse than Angel Haze’ flop though.
When has rihanna stayed at the top of an album chart ONE WEEK after 7 tries?? kii
She also outsold your faves
Ciara…Tamar…Elij oops Nevermind his albums never dropping 😀 …Rita Ora
Rihanna is unbothered and will continue her reign long after this album is forgotten! NEEEXXXTTTT!!
WHY CAN’T RIHANNA AND BEYONCE BOTH JUST BE 2 GREAT WELL LIKED ARTISTS. WHY THE CAT FIGHTING???? SOOOO, YOU HAVE TO BE NAVY OR EITHER THE HIVE???? I KNOW I LOVE BOTH AND SUPPORT BOTH FEMALES THE ONLY BLACK FEMALES IN THE GAME ON THAT LEVEL. JUST BE DAMN PROUD OF THEM BOTH!!! STOP COMPARING THEM.
Lovebird don’t play dumb you sissy
So Beyonce sold more in one month than Rihanna sold in a year? Ha!
I like both Beyonce and Rihanna, therefore I congratulate them on all their success. What I don’t understand is why people have to put Black artist against each other instead of uplifting them. You have all these successful White artist on top of their game selling millions of albums w/o the media trying to start rivalries between them. It seem as though with Black artist there is only room for one artist to be successful at a time, and that’s not right. TGJ GROW TF UP. PS didn’t y’all just praise Ciara for her letter about cyber bullying….Hypocrites!
The title was uncalled for, although it’s true. I don’t understand why black women are pit against eachother, especially these two. I have never heard of Rihanna and Beyonce having any altercations, only kind words towards eachother. But, congrats to Beyonce, well deserved. A lot of people counted her out during the 4 era, but she came back hard. Take notes Gaga, don’t whine about your album underperforming to the public, just regroup and come back harder next time!
7 albums and only one of them went to #1. What exactly does she reign over Flop Bird?
rihanna didn’t release this year because she KNEW the Queen was coming! 1.29 singles weren’t going to save her the embarrassment of Bey’s album sales kii
Run along 😉
Yaaaaasss Navi, BEG us to be your friends now that we whooped your asses on the charts! Your fake asses didn’t want to make the peace when you thought the King was flopping did you?
SINGLE ARE TO PROMOTE ALBUMS
WHO NEEDS A NUMBER 1 SINGLE WHEN THEIR ALBUM IS FLYING OFF THE SELVES????????????
RIHANNA GOT ALL THESE NUMBERS ONES AND HER ALBUM IS SITTING. STAGNANT. LMFAO.
IMAGINE IF SHE DIDN’T HAVE A #1. PROBABLY WONT SEE SIX DIGITS FIRST WEEK. I AM CRYING.
This is just a testimony that the Beyhive don’t need #1 singles ($1.29) kekee. They actually buy the whole ($16) that’s dedication. Beyonce is killing these h***. If you think #1 singles mean anything, you’re fooling urself, they don’t mean s***, especially if you can’t even score a #1 album.
Go Beyonce!! I hope she outsells “Red” and “21” as well. Yass comin for ya
Rihanna is just as talented as Selena Flopmez and should accept that she will never be greater than Beyonce.
Also Beyonce ducked and dodged the competition.
She decided to release in BOB and skipped Miley, Katy and Gaga week.
Rihanna gets shaded because of ALL the subliminal shade she throws towards Bey on twitter and instagram!
Let’s not forget her Salvation Army as well!
We’re NOT here for Unity. Where was the unity last year, or the two years before that? kii
SEETHE
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHA.
You Rihanna stans really should have bit your motherfucking tounges in the Itunes post. Now you looking like damn fools.
After BOB week, she had 3 weeks to herself seeing that there was 3 weeks of no new releases.
She didn’t beat the competition, she just timed it well and her non US sales prove this.
Preach Kimbella!!! So petty!!
The hive and navy are both jokes TGJ using you dumb h*** for hits and yall fall for it like always.
Only one who dodged competition this year is RIHANNA. The weak goat resorted to being a feature artist. Pathetic.
B**** Beyonce had NO competition. Check her first week sales! kii #REACHING
Who was Gag’s competition in November?
Who was Viley’s competition on Oct 3?
Who was Kathy’s competition on Oct. 22?
Who was S******’s competition on Dec 3rd!
REACHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG SEETHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I can’t stop laughing at the Navy!
Wow TGJ….really? This was uncalled for and highly immature. I’m a Beyonce fan (not stan), and it’s fun to rub Beyonce’s sucess into the haters faces, but this is over the top. Is this site run by 16 year old queens? Gotta be…
Tgj yall look like hypocrites for cosigning Ciara letter then doing this…
Congrats Bey.
The shame of it all.
@Rosegold i blame the navy and hive the only reason TGJ does petty things like this cause they know the dumb hive and navy will fall for it every single f****** time…
CICIBODYPARTY Best comment Ive seen so far
🙂
Lol. #Risingleshanna.
She didn’t slay the competition, she dodged them.
Ciara fans really should be careful about what they say about TGJ, everyone knows how y’all depend on them since nobody else gives a damn.
Wow…. I mean Sam just cosigned on Ciara letter about what this post is based on. Seriously Sam what does Rihanna have to do with Beyoncé sales? You are a very sad sad individual and a true hypocrite. You just a follower of your blog. You are a HUGE turn off.
@Lovebird I agree, Rihanna certainly did
@SWS Girl I was thinking the exact same thing.
I love Beyonce with all my heart. But I hate this comparison between Bey and Riri. I think Bey’s album made history and that was awesome. I think Beyonce can perform with her eyes closed and sing with her mouth closed. I just hate that BeyHive will always bring Rihanna in. Riri is doing f****** well for herself. Also setting records mother Bey is failing to set. I appreciate that. Rihanna is dope too in her own way. Sisters doing it for themselves. I love it.
And still nobody was forced to buy the album.
Congrats Bey.
@lovebird
Seethe, sweet girl. You are upset that Beyonce proved why she reigns supreme. HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME SINCE SHE STEPPED ON THE SCENE and you are MAD about it. After 16 years she’s STILL outselling these new girls and you are bothered by it. Lol. Be upset. Competition don’t mean anything when she’s STILL selling more than her peers. Even if they were to release at the same time she’d STILL sell more, as the numbers show. Now go be mad about it somewhere else. I understand your fav is mediocre but don’t put your anger towards Yonce The Great.
Don’t put us all in the same box, I love TGJ so don’t act like Molly represents us all.
I want to leave the Rihanna Navy and join another stanbase. Like the BeyHive.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
I WILL BE PERFORMING IN THE PARKING LOT, DIRECTLY AFTER THE SHOW!(GRAMMYS)
WILL BROADCAST ON YOUTUBE, FROM A BLURRY CELLPHONE CAMERA!
f*** THE HATERS AND BLOGGERS. I’M WINNING B******!
LMAO
My name is Lovebird and I have A***.
Imma need the CSquad to worry about her career instead of worrying about what the next b**** is doing. The Navy laugh at us all the time so this is karma.
Death @ B***** dropping to #2 and only selling 130,490 . I remember the hive saying she was gonna sell 250k in fourth week. Lol. It’s the beginning of the end for this album. And the fact that it passed 1 million in digital sales this week shows that no one is picking up physical copies. Poor thing. *prays for it*
Navy don’t be upset. Just accept that Beyonce is better than me!
I accept it! I have to release albums every year just to keep up with her and I’m still behind 🙁
My music doesn’t last longer than two weeks and I’m tired of being second to the Queen!
Why can’t i sing?
Why can’t i perform?
I want people to respect me like they respect the Queen!
Yassss slay my queen! Death @ her doing better in her fourth week than Britney Jean in its first even in the Jan sales freeze.
Bxtch Bye! come back when Mooriah finally releases her flop album, after releasing singles since 2012! kii
130k in JANUARY without a DISCOUNT is great. WTF are you talking about dummy? kii
Not be people clinging to Frozen when it was discounted that weak and still only sold 30k more with a huge box office.
If you can’t see how TGJ works you are silly. They don’t hate Rihanna at all but know that stan wars make them money and give them comments so they play on the rivalry that’s already there. I’ve clocked their game so stay away from their shady posts and only read their positive ones because that’s when I think they shine best as writers.
I would say don’t fall for their tricks but 104 comments in half an hour tells me you already have.
People should just stop whining especially when their fav is losing. Rihanna promoted the hell out of that album and TB joined Navy to get her a #1 (we all know why) She never had a #1 album in 6 tries.No 7 was the one. Beyonce as debuted at 1 almost tripling what Rihanna got… in three days, THREE DAMN DAYS.
And every one of her solo 5 albums are no 1…so stop the bs.
The Stan wars aren’t over by a long shot. I see it everyday. Of course those that stan for someone else what to play nice. No one expected Bey to do what she did not even her stans. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t be proud of her or sting back at those that have been very nasty over this year. Be mad but Be Real.
Week*
Aaliyah is the Queen Of Pop . Your fave could never get on a plane singing girl in fire while falling 300 feet to the ground.
typo corrected:”want to play nice”
@SLAYRIAH
I am laughing because y’all are so full of poo. Didn’t y’all say sales were gonna drop dramatically second week because this is “just hype”? That didn’t happen. Then it still remained #1 for two more weeks and y’all were real quiet. It sold 130K it’s fourth week meanwhile these other pop girls are pushing 200K FIRST week. So let’s not go there. Y’all want her to fail so badly, it’s strange. Why can’t you just admit that she’s superior to everyone else? It’s simply a fact. Just WAIIIIIT for her to start promoting this album and her singles. Y’all will be silent and logged out then. Bask in her greatness babe.
Like clockwork slariah here to bash and hate on Bey with the same illogical tired shade. Yawn…
@RiriCouture Thank you sis, I’m glad somebody else noticed this. Like I wouldn’t come here everyday if I thought they really hated her.
Chile TGJ don’t like rihanna! They have shaded her for YEARS! kiii
Say whatever you want to make yourselves feel better 😉
The fact that Rihanna who is Only 25 is considered a rival to 32 years old Beyonce is a big accomplish to Rihanna. I mean when beyonce started Rihanna was like 12?. Beyonce’s fans do her no favors by falling for this cheap stunts by Sam.
Beyonce is awesome and has been around for a while, she should be like a mentor to younger artist like Rihanna. They both have strengths and weaknesses, and obviously on this site Beyonce’s strength are highlighted more than Rihanna’s.
As for Rihanna being a feature artist, that has to be the dumbest thing ever, I mean Beyonce has featured a lot of artist I cannot even begin count, obviously this guys want Rihanna on the song, like her or hate her she is a hit maker. Most of her notable no 1 songs are solo. As we all know Stan’s are irrational extremist who rarely see facts.
“4” came out in ’11 and has sold just under 3 million albums and less than 3 million singles. Yet Unapologetic came out in ’12 and has sold 3.5 million albums and over 10 million singles. This is according to wikipedia and not my opinion, if theyre right then TGJ be telling lies.
@Danielle
I didn’t read that long ass essay. Please keep it short. I didn’t keep “quiet” actually. I’ve been the main person hear getting the hive together so let’s not.
Poor You!!! You can’t even buy Cierror singles or her Albums that’s why she’s a flop. Sorry to all those Hive and floppy CSquad talking sh*t Rihanna remains unbothered and still standing and sitting among Legend. No Hot 100 N01 for bey since 2008 poor you Hive. We all know most Navy don’t even know TGJ cus its a s*** blog. Then if you think we #RihannaNavy always comments in some s***** argument then you’re joking cus we don’t have time for that. I comment when I like sometimes I read you ppl funny comment cus it makes me laugh. Sometimes we derived laughter from you s***** Sam/ Stans comments. Bye Rihanna remains unbother so don’t worry. Music is a Want not a Necessity b****.
And not them taking about discounts and price cuts when Beyonce pretty much has the cheapest album of the year. 17 music videos and 14 tracks….
Beyonce Can’t go head to head with Rihanna, Katy, Miley, Gaga; she knows she’ll lose. Just look at 4.
@FreeBreezy what about all those other flop albums before GGGB? Oh we’re just going to pretend they don’t exist?
Instead Beyonce released in BOB week, dodging Katy, Miley and Gaga.
And had a 3 week no album release advantage.
But still cannot match their non US sales.
“DemiQueenVato
January 8, 2014 at 3:53 pm
Rihanna is just as talented as Selena Flopmez and should accept that she will never be greater than Beyonce.”
But Selena, Rihanna, and Beyonce all sold more than Screami Fatvato. Find your oven shaped fav’s career. How is Neon Lights doing? Still not pass 90 on Billboard?
Girl please. THIS generation is not Beyonce’s generation and she’s still superior to this generations “hottests”, so that is more of a compliment to Beyonce, if anything. Look at Beyonce’s peers: Britney, Xtina, Ashanti, Usher, JLo etc….where are they NOW. Nowhere near her. Beyonce has managed to remain relevant and supreme for over a decade, going on to two.
Awww Lovebird and Slayriah the usual pressed haters looking for any way to discredit her. So pressed.
Congrats Beyonce, her achievments are amazing this era.
Beyonce destroyed the lessor girls first week sales! She had NO competition! FOH
NO album promo, No single, NO performance, NO interview, NO release date, NOTHING!!!!
Beyonce is winning>>>>>>>>>>>>
And what makes this all the more amazing is that she didn’t have to spend millions on promo! More money in the bank! Boss b**** s***!
Not to talk about having the most critically acclaimed pop album. Time the haters give up!
So she’s afraid of Gaga, Miley, Katy and Rihanna that she decided to release when the coast is clear in BOB week, oh and giving away 17 free music videos.
Grow some balls Bey.
Why can’t she release in Miley, Katy, Gaga, Rihanna or Lorde week?? Because she’s afraid of competition.
Lovebird
You are so bothered like I am literally laughing. Beyonce proved herself, just ADMIT IT. Who was Rihanna’s competition when she was flippity flopping down the charts with all of her 7 albums during her first/second/third week sales? Who was her competition when UNA sold 200K first week? Like are you purposefully being delusional? LMAO. What you don’t seem to understand is….EVEN IF Beyonce released with those girls, she’d still sell more than them. Let’s compare week by week, shall we? Or do you not want to go there. The point is, there was a high demand for her music. Even her peers, both KATY AND GAGA were praising her. If her peers can praise her, I’m sure you can to. But you gotta get out your feelings first =)
* I know when you were little girls, you dreamt of being in my world, DON’T FORGET IT, DON’T FORGET IT, respect that, BOW DOWN B******!*
Heyyyyy Rihanna
Bestselling female album of 2013. Off nothing but her name. Bawsette.
HIGHEST GROSSING FEMALE TOUR OF 2013 (with a “flop” album) oh, the irony 😀
FASTEST SELLING ALBUM IN ITUNES HISTORY! (didnt need a #1 single or promo) 😉
Dead!!! When Rihanna Winning The Navy Get Cocky And Calling Other Artists “flop”, Or Laughing “Your fav Could Never, When Will Thiefyonce Charts Again? T********* Will Never…”
But When Beyoncé Is Winning And They Have No Choice To Deal With The Slayage Then They Want Peace And Star The BS Like “Stop The Stan War Both Black Girl Are Winning And Yadayadayada” F****** Llllllooool!
Congraz Be!!!!!
-The Second Highest rated Super bowl performance( second to madonna)
-FIVE #1 albums in a row!
– Score of 85 on Metacritic (New Album)
– #10 on Greatest Voices of All time
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
“BEYONCÉ” is the ninth album to sell 1 million digital copies. It’s the first by an African American or R&B artist.
BREAKING RECORDS!!!
The album’s doing incredible, name me one more artist that can sell that much in January. The only reason Frozen was #1 this week was because of an iTunes discount. Even if Bey did open on the same week as any other pop girl, she still would’ve probably beat them.
And not Borde being considered competition. Almost 80% of her sales come from 3 countries.
Get ur fake ass Mirage a Grammy please!!! This between the Navy and the Hive so take ur fake ass and phuck the hell Outta Here B****.
There’s Always people like this who try to compare two artists who are both amazing in their own individual way. Annoys me sheesh
Whitney Houston is the Queen of rap! Nicki Minaj who?
Michael Jackson is the QUEEN of twerking! Miley Cyrus who?
Congrats to Beyonce but this album is not even her best or second best album. 4 was a much better album in every way shape and form. I Am….Sascha Fierce takes second.
Jay Dumbass Seeeth Bytch Scorpio……C*nt u will bey EATING THOSE WORDS!!! THE QUEEN will reach 2X by the Summer or earlier. She garnered all these sales without any promo. Bytch u betta pray she doesn’t perform @the Grammys, The Brit Awards or any popular show. That’s “BIG” numbers for ur delusional stank rotten ass.
I Stan for Paul Walker, Your fave could never crash into a building burning alive.
The queen keeps slaying and you b****** with continue seething!!!
@Legentina but this album has more critical acclaim than ALL of Christina’s albums so please sit!
LMFAO @The Lesser B****** stans. That includes the poptarts like Hoeianna, Jlo, Ashanti, The Non Factor Squad Fav, and that Dried Up Use To Be Singing Diva MooMoo. When The Art of Flopping drops. It probably won’t see Citranny sells of 57K lmao. MooMoo might as well head to the barnyard. THE QUEEN IS DRAGGGGGGGING EVERY LESSER B**** THIS YEAR! #2014…..THE YEAR OF THE IMMORTAL QUEEN
BWAHAHAHAHAHA THE QUEEN CAN’T B STOPPED!!!!! DID ANYBODY TAKE A LOOK @HER OLD ALBUM NUMBERS???? THE B**** IS THE ONLY FEMALE FROM THE EARLY 2000S TO CONSTANTLY SELL ALBUMS! BOW DOWN B******!! BOW DOWN B******!!! BOW DOWN B******!!!! BOW DOWN B****** SHE’S SO CROWNED BOW DOWN BITCHESSS! #QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
I NEED THE QUEEN PERFORMING TO JUST PUT THESE H*** N THEIR COFFIN!!! #GOODBYE H***
Looking at bayonce’s sales, it’s clear that Taylor Swift and Adele and Rihanna are running the show. Taylor last 3 albums totally destroys bayonce, Adele is already Diamond and Rihanna digitals sales are so high it’s impossible for bayonce to catch up.
Bestselling female album of 2013 is enough to run the show.
Well, Well, Well ….Congrats Beyonce, Let the games begin
Just wait til she starts promo……
Get it right bish, Rihanna has 8 number one albums in the uk alone. And several #1’s across the globe.
Lol Rihanna has not had 8 number 1 albums in the UK. Not even close. She doesn’t even have 8 albums.
Really c-squad???? Really……
Lol, I can’t with these Rihanna stans saying Beyoncé album got knocked off the #1 spot by a soundtrack. But their fave has 8 albums and only one of them reached #1 and lasted there for 1 week lol.
Lol at these Rihanna stans bragging about Beyoncé still not having a #1 single. FYI, singles are released to help promote albums and their sales. Bey doesn’t need a hit single because her album is slaying – 1.4 million in just 4 weeks!
I guess that means ‘4’ beat Rihanna also.
So wait? when did 4 come out? over 2 years ago? and it is only at 1.39 but Rih’s Unapologetic came out last year and is at 1.2 but you somehow try to flip this story. I know that the fools on here don’t have good common sense, but the fact remains, that 4 was a serious flop, no chat toppers, and it is now 2.5 years old and it is only at 1.3, that is the real story, let’s see what Rihanna’s final numbers will be next year for UA, whoever writes this crap, really depends on the ignorance of the commentors. Geesh!!!
That’s interesting especially since your fave can’t seem to sell one. She will NOT have not 1 song go to #1 off of this album, all smoke and mirrors.
What a boring post. This is why black music is in the shitter, cause they ONLY two black females that are doing well are put against each other. For you Bey stans to compare a 32 yr old/15 year career to a 25 yr old with 7 years career are shading yourselves. Now Britney (same age as Bey), Gaga, Katy and that other pop chic released albums less than 2 months in the same year as Bey, but nope, y’all want to compare Beyonce to an album that came out a year ago. It’s like comparing Usher to Cracj Brown, like them, Bey and Rih are two different generations.
And if the HIVE want to take it there, Rihanna got here on her own, she didn’t need to step on 5 other girls just to get started. If Bey was so great, why didn’t she go solo from the start> Aaliyah did it, Brandy did it, Monica did it at that time. Cause she didn’t have IT, she became BEYONCE, she wouldn’t even had a chance to those other females.
Beyonce fans are such hypocrites.. They call other artists songs flops, but because her album is doing great she’s excused.. GTFOH.. There are quite a few artists that sale albums/singles.. She’s an AirPlay artist, which is still good though. Her single sales increase as her AirPlay does.. Meanwhile, Beyonce’s album did what it did because of how it was released.. Of course she hasn’t done any promo, shooting all of those videos was her promo.. Her album sales are making up for all of those videos. The way she released her album is strategy in itself. The album would have sold well, but it wouldn’t have sold as much, had it not been released digitally first.. Speaking of Mariah, “Beautiful” went platinum in terms of actual sales not YouTube views. Leave MC out of these silly debates.. HER IMPACT ALONE IS >>>>..
Another thing about the “Frozen” soundtrack is that it wasn’t the only album on sale, many other albums were also.. It came out of nowhere to go to number one, very few soundtracks have done so recently.. Beyonce fans hate give to give credit.. As soon as another artist accomplishes something, they always say its because of this that and the third.. Is it that hard to just say congrats..?? Y’all expect people to do it for her.. Could u imagine IG Pink,JT,Taylor or Emim released their albums the way Beyonce did??.. Credit to her for how she pulled this off, but this was certainly very strategic..
Congrats Beyonce for topping US Billboard 200 for a 4th week and having a 100k fifth week even in January ….. 16 years into your career.
I wonder will her full-scale promo plan push this album to multi-platinum …. Hope so
always trying to hate on rihanna for what? rihanna doing her damn thang making her coins of course beyonce is going to sell more because beyonce is the best performer no reason to try to play rihanna its tired..
B**** ,Rihanna unapologetic come to beat 4 released 3 years ago ….
And if you think Rihanna is s*** and compare Beyonce to Rihanna , is mean that Beyoncé is also a s*** ! bye
“We be all night LOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE”
Drunk In Love = Yes
Drunk In Success = YES
Rihanna has 7 number 1 albums consecutively in the Uk. Did Beyoncé ever do that? Yes Beyoncé may be big in the Us, but behind her there is no other black female in the game doing it but rih. It took her 8 years and Beyoncé 16. But she’s holding her own on a global scale.
@Eve no she hasn’t had 7 consecutive #1 albums in the UK stop lying. I am from the UK and I can vouch for that
I hope Rihanna and Beyonce do a song together so you delusional as* people can stop. These are two black woman doing it big, why can’t we celebrate that. Why does it always have to be a black woman against another black woman? You never see this with white artist, only black artist, on this level. It is annoying that this is condoned. Rihanna has never bashed Beyonce, she has always praised her, so what is the problem. Ya’ll are just bored and in need of a life, that you are trying to live through Beyonce and Rihanna.

I think Rhianna is much better. She may not sell as much, but she is going well for her age of 26 and only been in the game for 7 years. She is off the hook with her style, and always changing her hairstyles.
Beyonce always look the same with the blonde hair, and shiny performing outfits. She need a makeover, and I agree with others from up above, if it wasn’t for Destiny’s Child and her stepping on others, she wouldn’t be where she is today.
