In reply to X,Y, "and Z".

If we look at the facts, Beyonce's "4" is certified platinum in the USA, Poland, Ireland and Australia and is certified gold in Canada, France, and Russia.

If we contrast that with Chris Brown's "F.A.M.E", we find that it is not certified only gold in Australia, Ireland and USA. By looking at the facts, we can see that Beyonce's "4" did WAAYYY better than Chris Brown's "F.A.M.E" which, looking at the facts, was a huge flop.
