If 2014 proves to be half as fruitful as 2013 was for Beyonce, we’d say the star is on course to securing a very enjoyable year.
However, before her fans anticipate the next move she’ll make to promote her self-titled new album, Steve Forbes’ ‘Forbes‘ have decided to celebrate the entertainer by naming an ‘Industry Winner of 2013’ this week!
Why?
Details below…
With a sales run that’s already seen her move over 1.5 million units worldwide, one can only marvel at the fact that an album released no more than a month ago has done what it’s done, in the time that it’s done it in.
Sure, while some see her effortless surpassing of Miley Cyrus, Lady GaGa and Katy Perry as the ‘achievement’, we’d say scoring her fastest selling album to date 16 years into her career is what Beyonce may be most proud of this year.
For, without hearing the release before-hand or having press releases written in its aid shoved down their threats, music lovers purchased over 1 million copies of the LP worldwide- doing so knowing that what they’d be purchasing would be value for money.
With this in mind, we ask…
This ass kissing is get old like seriously.
getting*
Bestselling female Tour and album this year. I don’t see any lies.
Not surprised, The demand for her tour is high, and the album…no words. Imagine when she actually starts promotion, it’s going to be crazy.
I agree with @ICONIC, the asss kissing is old and boring now…
We need to buy all these people saddles for all the d*ck riding they are doing on t*********
My Queen. My God. My Religion
Beyoncé over anything or anyone…..
@Cake right its becoming pathetic. Beyonce bores me fast.
It wont sell like 21…. no album will in 2014. But Beyonce is a master piece … she will continue to break records…. Imma proud fan
Give it up haters… This girl is winning
Lady Gaga stans are bitter…
It will sell atleast 5 mil worldwide this year,
but not Adele’s 21 numbers.
You need the mature white audience,
that doesn’t illegal download, for that.
“BEYONCÉ” is way too urban for that crowd.
And we know that the majority of urban audience
only illegal downloads.
And ULTIMATE MESS at sam even thinking this trash will even see half of 21 sales.. This mixtape will sell at best 8-10 million WW
BOOKMARK ME!!!!!!!
i dont see it selling no more then 3 million tbh
Fruadyonce has managed to fool the world. expect me because i know the real t***** who lies underneath those costumes, wigs, makeup and lightning.
Aint no one pressed over this fraud..
I see no lies . Gaga and Ciara went head to head for #1 loser for 2013.
Congratulations QUEEN BEY!
So this f*** that lives in the slums of Rio left his slum and went to the public library in the city so he could use the internet to access TGJ. Now his credit is almost up and he though he could use the last remaining minutes to start sh*t with?? Nope, not gonna happen, NOT today. I won’t give it the time of day..
very proud of beyonce at this point. I have now stopped dragging for her. her success speaks volumes.
Worldcup 2014 here comes beyonce. haters will continue to seethe.
haters complain about an artist who has talent and releases an album every 3 yrs but stuck with a no talent who does nothing but release mediocre album every year, with more exposure.
It will sell 7 to 8 Million WW its too Urban
She deserves it for sure. She put in the work in 2013. Lets see what happens this year for Beyonce.
Death this mess of a album will do 3.5 mil at most Lmao 7 million my ass.
I’m actually in UK for holidays lady caca stan you tried… I don’t live in slums
Like ARTPOP will sell 3 Million ±. No way it will pass 3M mark
Beyoncé is killing these h***. She woke up like this. FLAWLESS!
ARTFLOP is the biggest flop eveer… I can’t wait for R8 to dominate like BEYONCE
if you actually think about it bey actually OWNED this year, when everybody thought she was going to release her album at the start of last year and ha everybody on edge for new material, and we got the Super Bowl, Life Is But A Dream, World Tour, Endorsments & endless snippets keep the stans & haters pressed and finally in the final month of 13 she drops a commercially successful album, bey has the deed and rights to 2013
you go bey may god continue to bless proteict you and your family for life thank you Sam for posting god bless you and this sight and more of bey happy post
then what the hell are you doing on her post if she bores you??i dont like gaga and hence you will never see me on her post,you are even the first one to comment on her post before her real fans could even comment… Sam i love bey but 21 sales are sales that i dont think this album will reach but we will have to wait and see..oh iconic cici there is a post where they are dragging your fave where sam said bodu party was named one of the highest selling singles only to find out its not even in the top 10..,ska re leka satane.
She needs to start promoting the album now …
Artpop will sell atleast 4.5 million worldwide Gaga isn’t local like Beyonce.
@Lesotho
A stadium of seats for you sis –> _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/
Choose one and sit your a** the fvck down!!
@Applause
Amazon is selling Artpoop for $6.96, and yet Beyoncé (album) is beating that s*** out of this crap everywhere at full price. So b**** you’d better spend your energy toward Artpoop. Gaga has been promoting that s*** for a year and nobody cares about it.
I see why Lady Googoo stans are pressed, just about everyone is shading her. Billboard, Forbes, VH1 biggest flops, Amazon most returned Christmas presents. LOOOL. Sucks to be a monster.
They are bitter everyone is shading lady caca .. The Gimmicks failed to help her lmao
She needs a huge controversy to sell save her flopping ass.. Isn’t she going to space to perform? Maybe that will help
She is Queen. She is the HBIC overall. Take that how you please. Keep you’re heels on their necks Queen Bey.
Happy New Year’s to all.
I think it’ll have huge consistancy worldwide, considering it’s only now getting released physically in the most of the world. And will make IFPI lists, so we get to know what the real overall worldwide sales will be.
I see NO lies!!! BEYONCE IS KING and the GAG fans are pressed kii
They Act as If it sold 3 M Since it got Released, Whoever wrote that, he/she is still shocked by the Move she pulled when she released it for iTunes to inflate her numbers.
and U know it is biased when he talked about “pirated”.
But no, this album won’t be her “21”, her “21” was DIL and that was a decade ago, She Need #1 hit(s) and many re-releases for her to do 5+ M as usual, good Luck B****! 😆
Oh and TGJ where is that overdue POLLSTAR post? The Queen STAYS winning. And I also read her fourth week sales are going to be at 250k as well.
Yea Sam where is that pollstar post chile? Keep the haters upset with Beyonce news.
The Pollstar Year End Top 20 Worldwide Tours chart shows Bon Jovi in first place, Beyoncé holding down the No. 2 position and Pink landing in third.
I thought y’all said Pink was going to beat Beyonce’
2013 was a record year for the global concert industry. Combined, The Top 20 Worldwide Tours took in $2.43 billion in primary ticket sales, a huge $470.6 million or 24 percent increase over the $1.96 billion generated in 2012.
More artists saw fat pay days in 2012. During the year there were 13 tours that grossed over $100 million, compared with only six tours hitting that monetary benchmark last year.
kiii when will Rihject do Adele numbers???
The bxth should be reaching 500 million record sold, with all those forgettable Generic #1’s kiiii
Beyonce coming for UNAFLOP’S wig EDFORTLESSLY!
I know why you mad 😉
LMAO!!!!! The monsters’ meltdowns continue! You will deal! Your fave needs to go back to making good music and ease up on the gimmicks!
Congrats Queen. Slaying basics since 1997 #DEAL
Dead at that one Rihanna Stan coming in every beyonce post commenting on album sales out of ALL things. The irony is that it took Rihanna 7 albums to outsale beys 4album discography. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Poproyalty still royally pressed!! Rihanna Will NEVER be on Beyonce’s level at the rate she’s going and you will deal!!
Everything Rihanna has achieved is all about her bulk release of albums. Beyonce will definitely have waaaay more records sold by the time she has 7 albums and so will many other pop stars.
@slay hive as if Rihanna had a chance in hell.
We all know this album want do Adele #. People please use logic. On the real Adele was lucky to do that.
@Slay Hive LMFAO the titanic tries to shade us using Adele but forget that their fave is on her 7th album and just crossed 10mill
I think the year winner is Justin Timberlake, Beyonce is killing the Pop girls but overall the year was ruled by men, happy new year everyone!.
I agree with this decision.
I don´t like the constant need of shade even from profesional journalists though (Forbes this time). You chose Beyonce, ok, why do you have to bring down others????? How was this supposed to be Gaga´s year? Why? That´s absurd. By that stupid logic the real loser of the year is Justin Timberlake (he obviously is not a loser either) cos he had the whole year on lock until Beyonce came and took the title. It´s truly absurd.
(Still can´t believe there are Rihanna fans who want to shede anybody´s impact or album sales… lol)
Here is the Top 20 breakdown with estimated touring gross as indicated (in millions):
1. Bon Jovi ($259.5)
2. Beyoncé ($188.6)
3. P!nk ($170.6)
4. Justin Bieber ($169)
5. Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band ($145.4)
6. Rihanna ($141.9)
7. Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson: The Immortal ($133.4)
8. Taylor Swift ($131)
9. Depeche Mode ($119.6)
10. One Direction ($114)
11. Paul McCartney ($113.5)
12. The Rolling Stones ($110.3)
13. Muse ($103.9)
14. Fleetwood Mac ($94.3)
15. Kenny Chesney ($90.9)
16. Roger Waters ($81)
17. Bruno Mars ($72.4)
18. Jay Z and Justin Timberlake ($69)
19. Elton John ($65.9)
20. Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo ($61.7)
@JohnVidal
How is Justin the loser of the year when nobody has been more succesful than him in 2013, Beyonce wins among the Pop girls but Justin have 2 platinum albums in less than 8 months, and just like Beyonce, his albums are not full of commercial material, but according to you, Gaga was the s***, last year, biased.
Happy new year S****** 🙂 and yeah,as a huge JT fan,both albums were a disappointment. But they did well considering there wasn’t a lot of radio friendly material
Not beyonce scalping taylor, justin bieber, springsteen and one direction with recycled moves (as the haters put it LMAO) and no album (back then)…..
Meanwhile…..
Pee Where U Want On My Body already has like 20 remixes. I thought she wasn’t making songs for the charts? But she stay squinting at the music sites/blogs and after critics said she sounded like Xtina she decided to feature her HOPING to score a hit. LMAO Lady Contradicted. Gaga is talented no doubt but she’s done. Even mentioning her name in a conversation is disgusting today like eeewww. Perhaps “Gypsy” might fare better on the charts if it’s released as a single.
Reminder….. (approximations in units)…
Beyonce’s THIRD week sales = 250000
Gaga’s FIRST week sales = 250000
Miley’s FIRST week sales = 280000
Katy’s FIRST week sales = 280000
Ciara’s FIRST week sales = 57000
Tamar’s FIRST week sales = 110000
Ariana’s FIRST week sales = 120000
I see why Gaga and Ciara (Biggest losers 2013) stans stay mad.
Did drunk on love,I mean drunk in love top the BB hot 100 yet? How is RIHANNA able to release albums in the middle of Bey’s hype?Sam Rihanna is coming FOR WIGS this year..The navy is far from bothered.I have been waiting for someone to END RIHANNA since that whip my hair chick. Where is Rita ora? She was suppose to end RiRi. Bey has tried everything in the book yet RIHANNA still stands. First it was IASf, the GGGB rip off, she sent Rita Ora to take RIHANNA out, now the surprise release after RIHANNA’S 13th #1/ icon award slayage. SHE IS set to release a song with shakira.I can’t think of any black girl doing a song with shakira other than Beyonce. Rihanna has put a stop to Bey being the hottest black chick in the game.
Go bey! Thk u
LOL MEANWHILE BOTH SINGLES SHE RELEASED ARE FLOPPING HARD ON ITUNES AND BILLBOARD, THE ALBUM HAS SLIPPED FROM #1, AND RIHANNA IS STILL #1.
IN THE END, GAGA, KATY & MILEY WILL OUTSELL FLOPONCE. FLOPONCE WILL STRUGGLE TO SELL MORE THAN 4LOP LOL
Lol at all the haters that’s made cuz beyonce done came and took over again …rihanna has a large fan base but her sales don’t add up to the fans!!!! She can’t even get her so called navy to buy her untalented ass album !!! The facts remain no female in this industry is f****** with bey!!!! So keep naming all the pop whores u want they still have yet to out do bey!!!! But when lil mrs riri out sale bey let me know lol!!! All the navy can talk about singles!!! Hello news flash albums versus singles!!! Lol u do the math !!! Bey is killing the girls with no weapons just albums !!!
@LOL
You are the one that said the album would sale 195k in the first week! How have your predictions been working out so far?
How will she struggle to outsell 4, when it’s already outselling 4 on average? kiii
Miley Caca And Kathy have a long way to go before they catch up with Bey
Did you here 290k predicted for the FOURTH week! Beyonce is above a generic single!! CATCH UP HEAUX 😉
*hear
Good for bey
I wish the navy would stop coming for the hive & the hive would stop coming for the navy.
Rihanna and bey will both slay 2014
Really bragging about a number one single your fave is featured on and an icon award against someone who has both is just pathetic at best. Beyonce has more awards but the navy act like Rihanna’s icon award is so monumental. Beyonce has already been there done that.
If a troll tries to use that email, the avi will show up as “ratchet” Bey for now..I will later change the pic to Big forehead Rihanna!
Dont try it 😉
The rain just won’t stop. After December 13th anybody hating entire existence became irrelevant. The scalping will continue well into 2014 and nobody and their two albums and 3828091471290 #1 singles will stop it. Meanwhile you can look at who is ahead of WHO on almost every damn list this year. From touring to Forbes b**** has been scalping for her life. Lets get into the fact that with less followers on social media B is the real social media queen. Queen cuts her hair and makes it on CNN queen gets pregnant and it becomes the most tweeted about thing on twitter. Queen drops an album and it sells 80k in 3 hours and 617 in 3 days.Queen says the word b**** and it becomes the talking topic of the town because people actually hold her to a standard because she actually has impact. QUEEN goes on tour performing her same “old a$$” routines and out grosses h0es who are more “relevant” than her and is now sitting pretty in the top 10 biggest female grossing tours of all time. Queen was suppose to drop to her death in her second week and yet we are going on the fourth and she is still doing 290k and outselling their faves FIRST week. QUEEN is so local yet her album went #1 in over 111 countries and will be at 2 million WW in a matter of weeks. I would be mad to if I was on the other team!#bloop
Adele needs to release soon, to calm the storm and restore balance to the industry!

Beyonce won’t do Adele numbers but she’s been consistent. I congratulate any artist who can sell those magnitudes of albums but can you sustain through decades of changing music. Beyonce will sell around 7-8 million albums and addition 20 million in singles worldwide. Her tour can possibly top 300 million. She executive produced the album, writing credits….plus her production company shot the videos. Beyonce is working on a platform to build her continuously growing resume/empire. Beyonce will be in your children history books…oooppss wait,.. she’s already in the books…
@Slave_Hive
Correction Thiefyonce is a SELF PROCLAIMED KING. #NoShade
Don’t act like multiple sources of relevance don’t refer to Beyonce as the Queen Bey u stupid.
Is Bey not owning this year or what?!
Ok
The boldness was REAL, the impact was facts, the material was diverse to cater to all types of fans.

witch, witch, shes a witch!!
