Thor Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 Yeah the numbers are bad, especially since the predictions had her in the 500-600k range. Hopefully they go up significantly so that it doesn’t serve a “it was shipped, but got shipped back” that it is serving currently with these projected numbers.

Are we really going to act like that 600k prediction wasn't a clear set up for her? Making +300k on a single week in the US alone is something none of our faves bar Taylor will be doing 24 years deep into their career Edited July 30, 2022 by gustavothehuman

JBJT2786 Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 the clownery from HDD I said 300k+ and it looks like itll go that way. but i hope it destroys those predictions and reach 350k.

I don't think any female artist has debuted with higher after they stopped counting bundles, sans Taylor and Adele. The fact that Bey could do around Sour's debut (295k) is amazing. Right. And artists usually have peaks then can’t sell after a certain period, doing this 25 years in shows longevity and consistency which is better
CaptainMusic Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 The 500k predictions were ridiculous but fantastic numbers, more than I expected

Klein Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 These numbers are good. She deserves a lot of success for this excellent album. Still hoping for 350k+ though.
Starshine Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 I expected 250k a month ago and upped it to 300k given the lack of promo, messy rollout, no visuals, utter silence on her socials and random new IG accounts promoting it for 4 weeks straight instead of her IG with 250+ mill followers . Also this isn’t Bey’s forte and most of her stans are within the R&B demographic so it may have been a turn off. I hope this has longevity and resonates with newer people.

Bey'Knight Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 Not surprised, Bey did nothing to maximise first week sales. It’s good to know she’s not desperate for chart validation but it would’ve been nice flex for the fans since she doesn’t feed us much promo either. Announcement 6 weeks in advance and it seems the vinyl is only available on her site as opposed to major retailers.

sourtwink Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 this is very good for someone so far into their career! olivia did roughly the same numbers with her debut album so it’s good to see bey keeping up with the new girls
