I'm surprised Bey is even at #1 considering that she had no #1 single to push her album, she's not promoting and is urban RnB.

This Bbryonve era, although it Slayed, was a real hot fucking mess. Bad single choices, bad promotion. Just an overall mess.

Had she released DrIL as the lead single on December, then releases 'Blow' as a summer anthem, her album would have crossed 5M Mark by now.
--
1st U.S Single: DrIL released right after album dropped (Dec.)
2nd W.W single: X.O released around March/April
3rd Single (US or WW): Blow, summer anthem to hold the album over until end of summer
4th single W.W: PH Released just in time for the 2015 Grammys (Jan.). Plus a brilliant performance at the Grammys to boot sales.

Then may be partition, Mine and Jealous as forthcoming singles. I'm pretty sure the albums would be at least 5 Million with good promo n single choices.
