I'm surprised at how much she talks about sex on it. Its just okay to me, but I only gave it a quick listen. What I do like is how R&B it sounds, everyone wanna be pop, but this is nice.

 

[DarthRozay]

this shit already sold like 430k

She killed the game with this one. LOL @ randomly dropping an album with no promo or mention of it and it's about to do numbers...while Mariah and them struggling to announce release dates. She dropped a music video for every single song too. Gotta respect it.

Speaking on my girl again?

Funny how all the singles she put out go plat alone? Mariah is set with albums she can still put one out but shes set. Now for your girl Nikki shes flop status. Better wish she dont drop anything cause its going double wood.

Same here .. After becoming a mother her lyrics became more sexually explicit I wonder why

Album reminds me of Janet's All For You with the freakiness .. But not as good

Interesting having the Nigerian author/novelist Ngozi Adichie on there.

The album is nothing ground-breaking (musically). Its a Beyonce album only difference is she dropped 'em without any fanfare (reports said they were 80,000 downloads via iTunes just 3 hours after release) .. .

Beyonce Bound for No. 1 As Sales Soar Past 400,000

By Silvio Petroluongo | December 14, 2013 8:28 PM EST

Beyonce’s self-titled surprise release, which hit iTunes exclusively on Thursday evening (9 p.m. PT), has now sold over 430,000 units in just over one day, guaranteeing it the top slot on the Billboard 200 once that chart’s top 10 is revealed mid-week.

As reported yesterday, "Beyonce" shifted slightly over 80,000 in the three hours from 9 p.m. PT to midnight on Thursday evening and on Friday sold another 350,000, according to industry sources putting the total at 430,000. With two more days left in the sales tracking week, the title could sell over 600,000 before the buzzer sounds.

The iTunes exclusive “visual” album, retailing for $15.99 contains 14 tracks- not available for a la carte purchases until Dec. 20- and 14 accompanying videos, along with other bonus video content.

At 430,000, "Beyonce" is already set to become the biggest debuting album by a female artist since Taylor Swift sold an astounding 1.2 million copies of "Red" in the week corresponding to Billboard 200 chart dated Nov 10, 2012. And if predictions in the 600,000 range hold, the set would grant Beyonce the best debut week- and best sales week period- of her career. Her 2006 album "B'day" started with 541,000 in September 2006.

Which Songs Will Be the First Singles?

December 13, 2013 7:18 PM EST

When Beyonce’s fifth album arrived surreptitiously Friday morning at midnight, it was without the aid of an advance single, marketing campaign, radio airplay or TV performances. But now that it’s out and setting iTunes ablaze with a weeklong, album-only exclusive, which of the album’s 14 tracks will get the single treatment?

Starting next week, it will be two -- the Pharrell Williams-produced “Blow” at Top 40, and the Jay Z-assisted “Drunk In Love” at R&B/Hip Hop, starting next week, according to multiple sources who confirmed plans to Billboard. “XO,” a rousing ballad penned by Ryan Tedder and The-Dream, will follow later in 2014 as the second single at Top 40.

This is a dope album. Great production, dope/interesting videos. This one actually bumps more than any album I think she's released so far. Glad to see her return more to her hip-hop roots. One of the best albums of the year. Props to Beyonce.

Why you getting all pissy with me bro? I was just making an example. :-[ Mariah tries to get hits and build buzz with trends, repressing singles, and having the flavor of the month on her songs...and she's still a flop and shook to drop her album cause it's gonna tank worse than her last shitty LP did.

Beyonce just straight up put the "no promo" excuse to rest cause she's about to do 600k in 3 days with no prior promo or build up. The power of her own celebrity is all she needed.

LMAO @ Mariah dropping Platinum singles. You know 5 of her last 6 singles never even made the Hot 100?? And before that her last single to chart had Nicki on it :laff:

@killacham might be a little shook cause Beyonce just put out a better Nicki Minaj album than Nicki Minaj.

 

[xxCivicxx]

I read her label turned down the album she sent in finished and told her to re-group ..

Maybe she said 'fuck it' and dropped 'em just like that

Those label execs are gonna look like idiots if this album does crazy numbers, gets heavy rotation, and multiple awards.

But it won't tho. Her last few albums have been trash IIRC. From what I hear she still plays a lot of her 10+ year old hits during her shows

Huh?

Her last album sold 5 Million copies in 2011.

Oh my mistake. I don't really listen to beyonce

I think she might be tryna trend follow when she doesn't have too. She's Beyonce to be honest she can make trends. Maybe she has become more comfortable with sex.

It reminds me of Dangerously In Love a lot with the more soul full sound. I wish she would stick with that sound. It does remind me of that Janet CD, but not as good. It lacks the flow and consistency of that CD.
