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 “? 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 ? LP did.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.
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.
-
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. -

Thats not surprising.
Bey>>>>>>>>>>>>>Nicki -
I don't why you all are arguing about her business practices. This is a good album to me and I had never brought a Beyonce album before this one. That "Heaven" song is beautiful.
-
The only other Beyoncé album I bought was Dangerously In Love. I've heard all of them, but I think this album is her best one, so I don't agree with the criticism in here.

I aint peep it yet but even ? Bey fans I know been
Clownin the ? outta this album. Is the ? that bad yall? -
Lol and then we got...

2013: The Art of Letting Go - DID NOT CHART
2012: Triumphant (Get 'Em) - DID NOT CHART
2010: Angels Cry - DID NOT CHART
2010: Up Out My Face: #100
2009: H.A.T.E.U: DID NOT CHART
Stop tryna make people care about Mariah. You're better off spending your time buying The Art of Napping on iTunes. It's not too late to make it chart somewhere. -
Why people act like she is a Disney character who is asexual. She a grown ? woman, literally. Lol
Its like the miley cyrus ? , people want to box these artists in like they cant evolve. -
Lmao ? Menace mad

Its not that's. The fact is its something completely left field for her and her fans. Its good, but a little unexpected. I think sometimes she tipping the line on following the trend. Beyonce never had to be super sexual for her to sell, so why do it now.
Miley is just so over the top that's why people think its a problem. -

Look at those false stats. Where's your girl at? That ? is officially done she's flop status. -
The art of letting go didnt chart because it wasn't Realeased to the radio Mariah just shared the song she hasn't done promo for it yet other than being on jimmy fallon
