**shoulder shimmies** WHO RUN THIS MOTHA!

& i dare sumone to call beyonce a flop after britney sold 276000 first week!

FLOOOOP! LOL!!!!!!! Lowest sales ever! I told you fools that she was done! Hang it up flop!

Beyonce is just AMAZING! She barely promoted the album in the U.S. and she doesn’t have a hit single from this album yet, it leaked 3 weeks before its release, but she still managed to sell over 300,000! For all the haters go kill yourself! I’ve said it before and I’ll say again Beyonce is a LIVING LEGEND! #EndOfStory

Album leaked 1 month early, no top 10 hit, and the albums 1st sales are still higher then those of Rihanna, Britney, and Katy…haters are EXTRA #salty right now

LMAO You Rihanna stans got some nerve talking about an album that went to #1 and sold more than LOUD did!……….. LOUD= 207,000 < 4= 313,420 YOU DO THE MATH!!!!!!

If Beyonce is a flop I guess that makes Rihtard a flop too…Loud barely cracked 200k first week

I had a feeling that this album would see her lowest 1st week numbers because of RTW being the lead single. No one was feeling that record. But the numbers are still good considering the leak.

@RihBaby, look at it in this way Beyonce’s album is SOLID. it’s experimental and is completely original of this day and age Rihanna went from depressing in Rated R to being the Only Girl In The World in LOUD, Rihanna isn’t a true artist in any form and 4 is what she wanted LOUD to be and the sales figures speak for themselves.

@cosmic Beyonce’s albums is FAR from original! Every song sounds like something from another artist – Stevie, Prince, Temptations – she is a copycat & America finally realised it!

AGAIN..we don’t argue with Rihanna stans. THE SCORES ARE THE SCORES! Beyonce wins. Rihanna looses. Keep pumping out those singles girl..that’s the only thing her career rests on.

Barely any promo in the US. Bad singles. Album leaked a whole 3 weeks before its release date…and she STILL outsold BRITNEY AND RIHANNA! Girl good day. The numbers speak for themselves. The scores are the scores. Keep basking in your delusion darling.

@RIHOEBABY Beyonce outsold BOTH Britney & Rihanna and they had multiple #1 singles before their albums release.. So save ya bullshit haters

Don’t feed the troll, people! RihBaby is a troll.
Anywho, I actually had a dream a long time ago that Bey released an album without releasing any singles prior to it, and still went to number one. This is kinda similar, no? The singles were severely disappointing, yet she still managed to outsell most of her counterparts. I’m so proud of her, and the album is amazing. I think people who are saying it’s boring are people who are probably used to music that sounds like it was recorded in a video arcade. 4 is a mature CD. Deal.

@BEYDAFLOP name a mainstream artist of this DAY AND AGE who has an album even similar to Beyonce’s? the critics gave it rave reviews and all commented on the old school feel of it and B said she was inspired by those you’ve just mentioned so your point is invalid completely.

Rihanna snatched this wig & took her spot! Beyonce, Ciara, Keri, Britney – all victims of Rihanna! Make way for the new queen!

@Cosmic Beydaflop is a troll, too. Don’t feed it. Let’s celebrate our girl’s success!

That rihtard has been going at it all day! You so mad but you have every reason to be! What bitch you know sold her lowest first week sales and still out sold your fav! Bitch die! #dontarguejustacceptit

just 2 let u other stan bases know.The beyonce stan base has nothing 2 prove.

I dnt understand these so called Rihannah Stans she has no talent and only puts out what her record label wants her 2 put out on the other hand Beyonce’s the boss she puts the music that she wants out and takes risks cuz she can afford to do that but if Rihanna would have put out that same cd it would have been no where near as successful as it is with Beyonce

Beyonce SLaying Yo Fave

Britney 2 hits singles= 275K/Not even scanned 600k yet
Rihanna-Hit Singles- Bigger Promo Tour-207k
Katy Perry-Hit Singles-Huge Promo-200K+
Beyonce-No Hit Single-A little Promo-3 week leak- 313k

Who Run This Mutha?

@RihBaby but yet her album shot up to #1 in 23 different countries. It went to #1 on Itunes in the US in less than 10 hours when your faves album been out ever since last year and isn’t even in the the Top 10. Beyonce and flop doesn’t even mix! #WhoRunThisMotha

Beyonce ain’t going anywhere so you haters might as well deal with it! To all the Beyonce haters, I BET IT SUCKS TO BE YOU RIGHT NOW

#1 … Slayed ur fav with no hit single… I’d be embarrassed if I weren’t a Bey fan.

TO ALL THE HATERS: ” I BET IT SUCKS TO BE YOU RIGHT NOW! ”

King B 4 ever!!!

All you BeYAWNce fans could say what ever you want but at the end of the day Beyonce is declining, has no hit singles and her career is lower than ever. Rihanna sold more than 4 million worldwide with LOUD and is STILL get smash singles. Every song was a hit!

BEYONCE STAYS FLOPPING! LOL!

Why do stans find it necessary to belittle other artists to prop up their fave? It’s immature and STUPID.
I’ve not always been a big Beyonce fan, but I do like this album. I think the fact that she sold this much with no hit single in sight, a leaked album almost a month in advance, little to no promo in the US, and all signs pointing to a dismal first week is to be commended. While this is her lowest opening, it’s still surpasses quite a few others.

Some of you need to get a LIFE. Sitting around on the net everyday trashing artists who don’t give a shit about you.

I STAN FOR NEITHER BEY NOR RIH BUT I WILL SAY THIS
RIHBABY IS BEING DISGUSTINGLY STUPID RIGHT NOW
RIHANNA HAS BEEN IN THE GAME FOR WAY TOO LONG AND SHE IS STILL NOT REGARDED AS A BUDDING ICON, SHE DOESNT REALLY GET THE RESPECT THAT GAGA AND KATY GET IN LESS YEARS. THATS A SHAME
DONT GET ME WRONG,I LOVE RIHANNA, BUT A RIHANNA STAN HAS NO RIGHT TO COME FOR BEY CONSIDERING THEIR BACKGROUND. LEMME KNOW HOW MUCH RIHANNA WILL BE SELLING WHEN SHE IS NO LONGER THE IT BLACK GIRL BECAUSE TRUST ME SOMEONE NEW WILL COME ALONG , AND WHEN HER LOOKS START TO FADE, SHE WONT HAVE THE TALENT TO BACK HER UP
BEYONCE MIGHT HAVE HER LOWEST SALES YET BUT ALBUM SALES ARE GENERALLY VERY LOW
IN CONCLUSION, ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT U KNOW U ARE THE SHIT WHEN PEOPLE CALL YOU A FLOP EVEN WHEN UR ALBUM SALES ARE THE 3RD HIGHEST FIRST WK, DESPITE THE FACT THAT U HAVE NO HITS AND UR ALBUM LEAKED ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE

Beyonce will never flop. Jay-Z got to much money to let that happen.

beyonce didnt have to promote her cd in the US because she klnow she have DIE HARD STANS who will purchase anything she release. Even if the music is mediocre. And coming from beyonce this is a flop but her stans wont admit it, LOL As I said in another post ADELE is shitting on so many HOES, including beyonce. LMAO

YESSSSSS!!!!! Who’s #winning now? Ms. Beyonce Knowles Carter. ROFL!! At the comments and it’s from the pathectic, low-life , non-existent. Rihanns stans. Seriously y’all thought Bey was going to flop but the sells show OTHERWISE. And by all means when I say OTHERWISE and I mean OTHERWISE. This generation is backwards y’all talk about albums sales and how much successful and artist its. Back in 60s, 70s, 80, and hell fucking 90′s NOBODY cared about sales. Whatever y’all will stay dumb and clueless since y’all don’t know shit. 313, 420 is a lowest but it damn sure ain’t a flop. Haters stay #pressed because y’all think she would really sale below expectations. Her fans bought it regardless of you muthafuckers, critics, and naysayers. It shows fans will buy music regardless of album sells. Bey is selling because she’s a brand and has established herself as an artists. Other artist my have attained a brand but lack establishment aka Rihanna. Rihanna is a brand but she is not and nowhere near an established artist. She has a great team beind her alright, heavy promotion, loyal fanbase BUT she can’t have a number #1 album and the only way she’s popular because of hit singles that have number #1. Explain this to me Rihanna fans. How come she has all the loyal support and franschise but she can’t obtain a #1 album? Why she has to put in so much effort that and work that regardless of hit singles she still hadn’t obtained a #1 album. You rihanna stans are making your fav look bad and if y’all continue with this ignorance she will end up going downhill because you pyscho obessed trolls. lol! I not mad because Bey still got y’all #pressed and #deluded no wonder why ppl keep hoping she takes a break because they know for a fact she fucking #SLAYS. Let’s hope those numbers increase and she remain #1 or if not that’s okay. Bey IS still #WINNING.

I can’t help but laugh when I see Rihanna stans calling Beyonce a flop when Rihanna’s album sold less than 4! Yeah ok then, when Rihanna debuts at #1 and sell more than 300,000 in the first week then you can talk to me, until then STFU!

Rihanna fans make me HATE Rihanna. I would like her more but the evil nasty attitude of her fans make me frown when I see her. You can worship her when she reaches ICON status as Ms. Bey has. If Bey don’t sell another damn album she is that bitch! Rihanna on the other hand if her can easily be forgotten at this point. Loud is doing well but other than her relationship with Chris she is forgettable….easily forgettable. She has yet to hit a stage and turn it out like Beyonce does. She will NEVER be able to touch Beyonce’s ability NEVER. There is NO comparison at all. Bey is at the point in her career where she doesn’t have competition…there will never be another Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Madonna, and there will NEVER be another BEY. Rihanna is factory made….take away the label support and she will CRASH. She has no real talent just beauty.

*edit* I meant @Tracie

I’m still trying to figure out why y’all arguing on here.. how in the hell can u compare rihanna to beyonce? Beyonce is the American dream. Work ethic, married, money, fashion line, acting, modeling, perfumes, albums, tours, stage performances, grammys, academy award nominations, ascap awards, internationally recognized, talent, energy, drive, inspiration, looks, maturity, vocals, clean image, not slutty, not gettin beat up by bf, family is famous, husband legendary rapper, florence and the machine and grace potter sees her as inspiration.. WTH RIHANNA GOT ON BEYONCE?…ill wait

@JAY If Beyonce didn’t have supermodel beauty looks and was darker than India Arie nobdoy would give a fuk how hard she could p-pop on stage. Beyonce is image driven…she’s the pretty light skin girl that was always popular it just so happens that she can sing and has some skill at choreographed dancing.

If u black.. u should be ashamed of yourself for real. Beyonce is an important part of our black history.. and no, I’m no super obsessed stan but an educated college student that has been studying beyonces career since I was young… she’s human and make mistakes but no one can ever compare to that woman in the music industry. She’s not out there being a slut, or a camera whore, or kissin all on girls.. she’s a respectful young lady that follows the dumb of the bible because she realizes the importance of marriage, working hard for what you want, and treating others with so much respect.. she represents so much more than image and u should really realize that… she is going to be in our history books one, people will be studying her life well after her death.. light skinned or not she’s a huge part of black history

y’all are a trip!

Beyonceflops has a point also y do yall tear down our other girls when they work just as hard to get some shine

Trent, those are HDD #s, Soundscan is the official #s used by Billboard and should be out today. Her #s could be more less and yes this is a decline but not unexpected. She has a way to go to top IASF and I don’t think she will do it

i really dnt understand why you people hate on beyonce sooo much and most of you are americans i am just a south african man who adores and respect her craft she is too talented i am not comparing her to anyone and the writer of this article was not doing that he or she just stated that beyonce has once again released another no 1 album thats all nothign else and now all you people are trying to tear her down for what for being succesfull ? that is the craziest thing i have ever head you are americans you should be proud of a woman who has honest success cause many countries aspire to have an icon like that .stop comparing her to other artists cause when other artists released albums you never gave them such hate well its not hate its jealousy grow up people

@RihBaby, stfu – “We don’t need to defend QUEEN RIHANNA because her numbers speak for themselves!” the fuck are you doing now then? & Rihanna’s first weeks are nothing to Beyonce’s and even after that they still aren’t shit, sit the fuck down and recognize who the real queen is.
