In reply to Jasmine.

Caleb IT IS THE SAME. Remember, Ciara's new album was released INDEPENDENTLY. That means her sales are the equivalent of Bey's album since it was released on a major label and in conjunction with a major film.

Also, your attempt at putting Bey's sales in the same category as MJ and Madonna is a FAIL. At 37, MJ was selling 15 plus MILLION albums! At 37 Madonna was selling 10 plus MILLION albums. They would never and have never FLOPPED THIS HARD, especially 3 flops in a ROW.

Beyonce's 'talent' is inflated, her ego is inflated, her importance is inflated, etc. The public reacts to artists who constantly push their music on them nonstop without giving them a break by not buying the sh.it. America loves a comeback story. Time for Bey to take an extended break and go for a comeback rather than constantly being in the public's face! Look at how Adele puts out music. She takes her time, nit picks until the music is quality, releases it / tours, and then disappears for a few years so that other artists can shine. Bey don't do that. She is always in the public's face which is why she got the nickname ROACH. I like Bey but damn go somewhere. I'm tired of seeing her.
