DIL is not at 10 million, not even 11.

No one said it's at 11 or 10 million on MT, it's actual mark is 9 million.

Most of its sales came from the USA so yeah, it was pretty local,

Explain how if most of an album's sales come from the states then it's local though?

Even if that album sold 4.1 million OUTSIDE the states, on MEDIATRAFFIC (a site which only counted sales from a few tens of countries before 2005), means it's local?

I mean . . . Aren't 71% your fav's albums YET to sell that in the entire world, let alone outside the states?

You are a LOL!

the singles were successful just in the USA.

I don't give a fuck on singles performance but this's a HUUUUGE lie!

Is that Billboard which said that Beyonce has sold 13 million albums?
4.9 million, “Dangerously in Love” (2003)
3.3 million, “B’Day” (2006)
3 million, “I Am … Sasha Fierce” (2008)
1.3 million, “4″ (2011)

I don't see anything on this list of Beyonce US album certifications which disproves what Billboard said in a couple of their articles, when they added DC sales to Beyonce's solo sales. What are you trying to do?

Just quit it, you are embarrassing yourself wiith that. If I want to know about DC sales I can read about them on Wikipedia or somewhere else. We are talking about Beyonce here.

No the only one embarrassing theirselves here is YOU trying to discreadit Beyonce from something she put her soul into and spent near a decade working on, specially when she's clearly not YOUR fav!

1$ songs make part of record sales and bring you money so why not? Actually a platinum selling single brings you 1 000 000$ just in the USA, imagine other countries. ^^

Still, album and DVD sales is what matters.

DIL is not bigger than GGGB era, even if you take in consideration that GGGB has sold 8 million and DIL 9, GGGB had more successful singles and Umbrella was the biggest song of 2007. It has sold more records than DIL era. I mean, is Crazy In Love 2xPlatinum yet after 10 years?

Single again? :lol:

Singles performance matter but tour gross doesn't?

:arrow:

And who cares if CIL is 2xp in the states or not? After all it did it's thing and sold 8 million WORLDwide so . . ..

LOL This has to be the fakest comment ever. Yeah, really. You probably didn’t know about Umbrella/ Don’t Stop The Music/Disturbia/Sos/pon de Replay when most of them are bigger hits than almost all Beyonce hits. You heard about her when she released Hard which was only US single? tztztz, like really?

Where're the lies? lol

I live in a stank ass 3rd world country in the Middle East where American pop music is only popular among a few number of people, and I wasn't one of them BEFORE 2010. In my country, the only song that almost everyone knows about is Usher's "Yeah".

I discovered Beyonce and Rihanna in 2010, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Whitney Huston in 2012, and there're still so many very well-known legends and icons that I still don't know about!

I think most people haven’t heard about Beyonce until she released Beautiful Liar and she can thank that to Shakira ;)

IDK.. but I'm sure not 7 billion / 7 billion people know about Rihanna and Beyonce already!

And you can thank and give creadits to whoever you want, it still was a BEYONCE song, released from a BEYONCE album. Your discreaditing Beyonce ONCE AGAIN doesnt make any sense!
