i think she and ciara are great performers

So true, Sam!

^i'd agree. ciara and chris brown ain't too shabby either. and only have 4 years behind them

Yeah she is a wonderful performer no doubt about that! One of the best in the game, but she only sold over 500,000 in first week, compared to 1 million by Lil-Wayne, she can't be too much of the game! But everybody has their opinion, but she didn't out sell Mary J. Blige in her first week, and Mary J. Blige is one of the best female performers around. Beyonce is not the only damn female artist that can perform.

Let me tell you i love this bitch with all my heart and soul and she is so undeniably talented! Like she can sing, she can dance her ass off and shes beautiful! And then shes so humble this time around. Like i feel like we really are getting to know THE REAL BEYONCE..not the pre-recorded Beyonce, or the rehearsed what to say Beyonce so ppl will like her. She knows shes hear to stay so now shes just really being herself. I love how shes so open about her marriage and about Jay now (on Ellen)..omg i just love her and cannot wait to see her for Essence when she comes down here to New Orleans!

Beyoncé is big performer, but Madonna is the biggest performer on Earth

It was boring to me, I didn't even get through crazy in love.

the fact that she DIDN'T even do 500k with more promotion than any artist in the past decade is crazy to me. not even britney is doing all she did and brit comes out next week.

482k is well below her expectations.

Queen is still on the rise!
She could've sold alot more though.
What are Kelly and Michelle up to?

She is a great performer. But, I don't think she's that great of an "artist" overall. But, to each it's own. I find it very telling that she couldn't beat Mary and didn't come close to Alicia's numbers.

Madonna isn't that great she barely did 200k in her first week and she's been around alot longer than Beyonce. 482k or 505k depending on which site you believe is GREAT for anybody in today's market. She promotes and gets to perform on these shows because they invite her and know that she is a helluva performer...one of a kind. You can't put Ciara and C. Brown in a senence with her. They are good but need to improve their vocals while singing.

THAT'S MY BITCH!! SHUT TIME SQUARE THE FU** DOWN!! LOL

Mary, Alcia, and Beyonce sing different music and have a different audience and besides their albums came out last year. Today's economy is much different than last year. Besides Bey and A. Keys have similar overall album sales and they both beat out Mary. I think the artists prefer to sell more over time than just the first week.

ooo she sold less than 500000..thats reli bad..even taylor swift hit over the 600000 mark!!! weird...beyonce promoted it so much and there was suh a big buzz around it

maybe she'll score better with cadillac records...hope she gets the buzz like jenifer hudson did last year with dreamgirls

Lil Wayne sold a mili cuz he has been promoting for nearly two years...always on somebodys song sounding high and you can't even understand what the heck he is saying. He's wack!!

@8:49 that is so true. But like Sam said name another artist male or female that can out work her live and I mean truly live....

Bey is the BIZNESS!! So what Taylor is country and yall know them country folks gonna come out in huge numbers. Damn, if the numbers were 650000 yall would be saying she didn't even sell 700k. yall crazy.

@8:55 I'm with you! There is NO other artist right now that can sing and dance the way BEYONCE does. They just can't do it. Cici/C. brown can dance but doesn't have the vocals like Bey. A. Keys has an amazing voice and I like her music/buy her cd's too but she gets a lil boring in concert.

The game! Ha, she didn't even go gold with all that promo and ridiculous alter ego mess. Please! Alicia and Mary killed her in first week sales, 740,000 and 640,000 copies respectively and they didn't do have the promo she did. Not a good look at all!

Ok, so why is it that BDay and As I am have basically the same amount in overall sales??? When did selling 482K become not a good look? They are all good artists why put one down. I don't get that.

Ok, well Mariah sold 430k and she has more records and overall combined sales than anyone---so what does that mean. what point are you trying to make. If Bey did 80k Like Ashanti then that would be a flop or NOT a good look.

SAM U'RE RIGHT!!!! SHE IS THE G A M E ................


Curtains 4 Sasha's Fierces' glove on single ladies - dat was jokes HAHAHAHA!!!

@ anon 9:12... It's definately not a flop. It's just that Sam made a statement about Beyonce being "the game." She is a good artist and outstanding performer, but does that really make you "the game." That's like saying she owns this sh*t! And her record sales are not showing that she is owning anything. She did very well but it was so much hype. Alicia's sales have progressed from her first album to the 3rd one. But, Beyonce's have actually went down a little lower. I have to question whether she is becoming an "icon" or "just another pop star."
Also, I don't think she is comparible to Madonna. Beyonce is in the height of her career. Madonna is not.

She's been Sasha for years so this is just for fun yall are putting too much into Sasha and the glove this, the glove that. So what she's having fun with it. Go BEY!!!

aliia shuts down beyonce every time ur such a beyonce stan sam its embarassing her sales are not that good considering all the hype around the album release. the album only reached number 10 in the u.k leona lewis shut her down her rereleased spirit album hit number 1. why not mention that i thought this was a u.k site. beyonce is not the game or even the hottest chick in the game shes just a good performer thats all. i dont c her as an artist either

man all the hate for bee anything this chick does ppl hate they always look for the little things that bee does or wears an then says she rips off someone else. all the other artist does the same thing but if bee does it it's a crime of the century. me i luv bee an i also saw her performance on trya show the the gay guys an it was fierce too.. excellent performances all round she is a diva

OMG lets jus appreciate the qualities all these artist have...

Beyonce is a GREAT performer/all rounder...
Very consistant and strong...

Loving when she does all the routines she looks hot..
Her dancers and band are on fire too so props to them also.

Halo(one of my favs) and Diva soon to arrive

Three No.1 Albums as well as one No.1 album with DC. Can't complian bout thoses stats sales or not..

The Worldwide Woman brings it to the stage..

Well she may not sell as much as A.Keys and MJB,but she sure as hell better than them...and yal know dat!

Sam you are so right.....You would never think someone can give you Crazy in love and Speechless, Deja Vu and Listen, Freakum Dress and Flaws and All, Baby Boy and At last....I mean this chick can deliver all day long....As far a her record sales...I am glad she got the number 1 album...If you combined Rihana, Ashanti, Kelly, first week sales then you get Beyonce first week sales....WHo cares what she sells, I love what she put out....I am in love with the Beyonce side....Sasha Fierce is the shit too.....

im still laughing at that Ashanti comment 80k dam i thought she atleast sold 100k. Its no shock to me

I don't think people really dislike Beyonce but they dislike her fans. Because they go overboard and thinks she Gods Gift to the music world. In fact, I do believe she is talented and a all around performer. Not original tho. But she can sing. In the music world, she had ok numbers but not great numbers they expected and this was a double disc album. She was suppose to go 700,000-a Million the first week and it didn't happen. She was everywhere and had great promotion and it wasn't enough. Mary J and Alicia who had less appearances and promotion outsold her. So she is not the queen yet! Not a hater but stating the facts.

Um Yes, A. Keys has been performing eveywhere because she re-released her album. She's been on all the late shows, morning shows, the view and everything so YES she does promote as well ans so does Mary. What's wrong with promoting ur music??? When you are in demand that is what you do. If they didn't want her (beyonce) on those shows trust that she wouldn't be there.
Why wouldn't they set the bar high for BEY. If I was her manager I would have said the same "yeah we want her to do a mili too", I mean who says we only want 100k?? That's stupid. YOu always set your bar high.
Um, Leona Lewis should have sold more than Bey in the UK, SHE IS A UK ARTIST!!!! If it was in the states that would not be so.

Beyonce has been doing this same wack preformace since this corny song has been out. This song is so wack and this beyonce album is wack. Why do you stans for Beyonce think the she is the greatest thing on earth. She not. She aint original this whole Sasha thing is JLO's style back when JLO was out. SHe aint original and Single LAdies is If I weere a boy are horrible songs and made for people that will not listen to anything else other than music for people with "dumb ears". This album is wack. Admit it. Its wack. Horrible. But you people only have an ear for subpar music.

WOW that grapejuice, you really played yourself by saying Beyonce is the Game right now... PLEASE!!!! Estelle's album was FIRE as was Solange's album and Alicia Keys album, but because yall must be on Bey pops payroll you will continue to make it seems that her wack music is the best thing. Its not, and Beyonce Preformace was wack and any person in their right mind could see that. Stop riding her and speak the truth. BEYONCE'S ALBUM IS WAAAAAACK.

Open your ears to real music.

I don't agree about setting the bar high as far as numbers because it makes it seem like that's the only thing you really care about (at least they shouldn't have made a public statement to Billboard about it). I think they really believed that she would sell that much opening week. I appreciate Kanye saying he's doing it more for the art and less for the numbers. It may not be true, but it sounds better.

Why wouldn't she do the dance for sinlge ladies when she is performing? I mean what is she supposed to do sit on a stool and sing an uptempo DANCE song? Most artists do a dance set for a song and continue to do that one because people know it and dance along.

Estelle, A. Keys and Solo all have great albums too but they don't perform like Bey. I think that is the point Sam was making.

Honestly Bey doesn't have to do any damn thing else she is a success as we all know however I think that her record sales tho they were not bad to me but its called "overexposed" Im sorry stans people are tired of seeing and hearing her and NO that's not hating thats with anything too much of anything will turn you away her video's on every hour of the hour on 106 &park ... video after video like that anthology disc from Bday yeah it may seem sheto on her grind and I won't knock that but DAYUM!! She's already a major figure in the game thats what make it so tiresome. It's like she's forcing herself time and time again.. and people are like over her and all the hype ...and I have to say it this is why people compare her to Rhianna not because of how good she performs BUT because Rhi doesn't have to force anything people just accept her and love her for whatever and Bey be on over kill ... just my opinion so please obsessed fans don't come at my throat with the blades!

Ill give A. Keys her props for selling over 700,000 compared to Beys 480,000. But if yo notice, Marys released her last two albums like the week before Xmas and then came out with huge sales...then they would fall off shortly aftre the holiday season..same reason why Jamie Foxx sold 500,000 in his first wk..cuz of the holidays....but anywho,,,,

As a Beyonce STAN, i can say i am not too happy about the 1st wk sales..i think they were belew her standards..i did expect somewhere in the range of 700,000 to a million..i just dont get it...i ent to target and ppl were literally picking up her album like hotcakes the first day...but the economy is getting worse so maybe thats a factor....idk..But i will say this is not one of my favorite looks for her..the whole straight hair, dress down sort of thing..i favor her BDAY days more..thats when the real Sasha Fierce was in force...right not shes being Beyonce Fierce lol and i dont think anybody but her stans and fans are feeling it as much as they were in her earlier days. but i STILL and ALWAYS WILL LOVE HER!!!!!!....

THE BEST IN THE GAME FOR ME TOO SAM!! i AGREE! love her obsessed with her don't care how much she sells all that matters is that she is NUM 1 STOP COMPARING NO POINT whats that gonna do for your life??? & I'M SURE SHE IS GOING TO BE NUM 1 ON THE HOT 100 TOO!! GO BEE LUV U

We are in a RECESSION people! And it WILL get worse before it gets better. The economy is not in the same condition as it was when Lil' Wayne released his last album. Therefore, comparing sales is not as reliable when the conditions are different. The automobile industry, which provides MILLIONs of jobs,is in a financial crisis right now. Many people have to think, "do I want to put a few gallons of gas in my car or jam 'Single Ladies'." The ones with sense are jamming it on the radio as they drive to work!

Beyonce is not the game. The performances were quite boring to me. I think it's maybe because she's been performing way too much since the singles were released. I have seen Chris Brown in action and I have to say he was way more entertaining. Beyonce needs to sit down for a minute and make people hungry to see her again because I think she's reached exposure OVERLOAD (too much promo). Still love her though.

First off Bey been out for 11 years and still able to sell $500,000 in her debut week excellent. MJb as much as we all love her overall sales aint nowhere close to Beys and she been out a lot longer. Lil Wayne along with folks like TI and Kanye did big numbers that first week but overall only about 2 or 3 million worldwide Bey does that in the U.S alone so heters what does first week sales really mean. You people are unbelieveable with the mess you try to come up with to down her or hate. Bey shut it down each and everytime and she is the best all around entertainer in her generation deal with it because you or your favorite artist won't stop her. Just look at those performances they say it all WOW. Why didn't yall make comments like these when Rihanna,Ciara, and the others who numbers where way lower came out, possibly because they aren't a real threat to anyone.

FIRST WEEK SALES DON'T MATTER, THE OVERALL SALES DO. WE WILL SEE WHO'S LAUGHING LAST WHEN THE YEAR END SALES COME UP. UNTIL THEN ALL OF YA'LL HATERS STFU

LMAO. AND YOU GUYS THINK RIHANNA ISN'T ON OVERKILL?? 3 ALBUMS IN 3 YEARS?? BEY WAITED 3 YEARS TO RELEASE B-DAY AFTER DIL, AND 2 YEARS TO RELEASE I AM. NOW HOW IS THAT OVERKILL?? BECAUSE SHE DECIDED TO TOUR FOR A WHILE AND CONTINUE TO PROMOTE HER MUSIC?? WELL NEWSFLASH PEOPLE, THAT'S WHAT YOUR ARE SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN YOU ARE AN ARTIST. PROMOTE YOUR CRAFT. ANY ARTIST THAT WANTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL SHOULD BE DOING THE SAME SHIT BEY IS DOING, THAT'S WHY SHE IS SO SUCCESSFUL. PEOPLE HATE IT BECAUSE LIL MISS SUNSHINE WILL NEVER BE ON THE LEVEL OF MRS. CARTER. SHE LOVE WHAT SHE DOES WITH HER WHOLE HEART, AND THE SHOW COMPLETELY WHEN SHE IS ON STAGE. I ADMIRE HER FOR THAT, BECAUSE SHE HAS A PASSION FOR MUSIC, NOT FASHION. PEOPLE LOVE HER BECAUSE SHE IS AN AWESOME SINGER, AND IS HIGHLY RESPECTED BY HER PEERS, NOT BECAUSE SHE KNOWS HOW TO ROCK THE LATEST TRENDS. NOBODY GAVE A DAMN ABOUT RIHANNA IN HER "PON DE REPLAY" DAYS. SHE GOT A HAIRCUT AND A GOOD STYLIST, AND NOW EVERYBODY ON HER NUTZ. SHE IS HONESTLY THE MOST OVERRATED OF THEM ALL RIGHT NOW IF YOU ASK ME

Uhm, hello? ALICIA KEYS!!!!!! Beyonce sold damn near 500,000 albums which is fantastic, but Alicia Keys sold 900,000! Check your history. And Alicia doesn't just get on stage and shake her ass like a banchee. Granted, I love me some Beyonce, but ya'll need to quit with that she is the best thing that happened to music mess. She's talented but she's also superficial, and THAT IS THE TRUTH. Ms. Keys IS the game right now.

@ MRSJONES, I agree with you. Rihanna is on overkill, she's cute and stylish but the talent is not there. The live singing is not good. Saw her on Kanye's tour and she was the worst act. Lupe and Nerd Killed her performance. Why is she on like 10 videos for the same album, dayum out on an anthology if that is what you want.

@ Anon 1:29 - A. Keys NEVER sold 900k in her first week. Her last one did 700k or maybe a lil more and that is GREAT. But why is that her first week is so high but in the end they (Beyonce) they still sell the same. CHeck your facts. A. Keys is good but her live performance is boring after 30 mins. I'm sorry I don't wanne see her sitting at the piano the whole time. BTW: I am an A. Keys supporter as well but her live show has nothing on Beyonce.

@ Anon 1:06 PM you are right. I agree with you. 11 Years and still BAD!!

NOBODY! dnt get me wrng-ALICIA, JANET, CIARA will giv u a GREAT SHOW!! I LUV EM ALL, BUT live singin & dancin? NE YO comes close 4 males, Usher may stil hav it as well, BUT BEYONCE IS THE GAME, U SAID THAT! :) ha/HI HATERS!

Nobody is taking anything from alicia she's good but as an all around entertainer don't think so. Who wants to see her sit at a piano for 2 hours in concert to play a piano. She doesn't entertain on stage that's why she never really does big tours. But once again she's excellent and very talented can't take that from her but if you want a real show you will see Bey point blank period. Alicia first week numbers are a little better but once again not her overall numbers and that's the key. Pay attention they are two different artist who both do big numbers but Bey has been out longer yet she still brings the numbers in when you wouldn't still expect her to be able to sell at all.

You people are crazy if you don't think 482K is not good! With today's economy she did phenominal! I mean times are rough, I was not able to get her album last week but I do plan on getting it. She is a great performer and she always gives 100% I mean she fly down a flight of steps and got right back up with her leg bleeding and still pulled off a outstanding performance. I know not her biggest fan but when props are due you have to give them up! I am always going to stan for Bran-Bran though just had to throw that in.

You can tell she was tired. She didn't give her all in these performances. Though I love them I'm kind of getting tired of them.

At the end of the year the album's score will be 5 milli copies...

The black cat suit reminds me of Kelly Rowland. She wore a cat suit during quite a few of her promo performances for "Ms.Kelly". One in particular was the House of Blues performance. It may still be on youtube. I think I'll go watch it now.

Beyonce stans always bringing up Rhianna! What!, do you all feel threatened because Rhianna is the new "it" girl. To tell you the truth, I don't like either one of them. In my eyes, they have more similarities than differences. The only difference is that Beyonce can sing. Other than that, both of them have been pimped by the industry, and their image means more than anything. Just give me the good old days, I don't want to see what you look like, just as long as you can sing.

i've been saying 4 a min now that she was gonna do 490k and instead she does 482k lol damn i was close lol but the truth is not everybody is feeling beyonce like they use to and that happens to every artists

wtf 1st week sales have to do with anything. Rhianna's GGGB sold 180,000 1st week debut at # 2 behind T Pain, but she end up as the best selling artist who release album in 2007 with 6 million worldwide. If you have good songs on the album, the album can still sell a lot. Rihanna still selling over 20,000 a week after almost 20 months. I don't think that 500,000 beyonce sold includes digital download.

I wonder why they had her mic up so loud!??

The male performers that consistantly deliver are Chris Brown and Ne-yo. They give it to you everytime.

Bey is okay but she isn't "The Game" as you say, Sam. Sure she can sing and dance well but she isn't all that.. Also, there are better performers out there its just that your site seems to favor Bey the most.. I like her but I wouldn't go to a concert or buy a cd..

@ 2:17pm I have seen Alicia in concert and she does not sit at the piano for 2 hrs singing, believe that! She gets up and dances too. You shoulda seen her on her last US tour, if you didn't. She can dance and work the stage! One of the best concerts I have ever been to.

She a great performer, but the only reason she's on top is because everyone else isnt that great at performing!! I bet if these companies would actually prep some of these artists they to can perform at her level. ( I really dont think Rihanna is is allowed or encouraged to actually perform that would be too much competition for bey). I like them both.

Just imagine how good Rihanna would be if she could perform. The way she dresses on stage and her looks!!

LOL @ RiHORROR stans! Umm yea if Rihanna could perform and sing and dance like Bee OF COURSE she would be at the top along with Beyonce. BUT she cant! That's why she just needs to stay in the studio and make hot and lukewarm hits. She doesn't need to go on tour (oops, i forgot she doesnt/cant do that anyway lol), or try to sing ballads at award shows. She should stick to modeling and doing commercials. Or she can try getting into acting because if there's something RiRi could possibly do better than Bey is acting! But way, Beyonce is the game! Point blank, end of story!

Im a fan, not a stan. And I think Beyonce is really trying TOO hard. And what's with the new look on the album? Its wack! Beyonce can perform. I love her performances. I went to her concerts. And its great . But, I dont think the whole album is great. I hate her new style, it doesnt fit her. She has one excellent album, and that is only Dangerously In Love.

LIL WAYNE OUTSOLD EVERY SINGER & RAPPER, NO MATTER WHAT GENRE WITH HIS MILLI. HE ALSO CAN'T SELL TICKETS TO A HEADLINING CONCERT, MUCH LIKE THE MAJORITY OF THESE FEMALES IN THE GAME. SO YOUR POINT IS MUTE CHICK! LOL!!! FIRST WEEK... MJB & AK... TRUE. HOWEVER :-D SHE OUTSOLD MJB & AK IN TOTAL ALBUM SELLS FOR THESE ALBUMS BOO BOO. CHECK HER STATS :-)

& YOU'RE RIGHT SAM! SHE IS THE GAME LOL

OH WELL... SUCKS TO BE FANS OF THESE OTHER "SINGERS".

YOU PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT RECORD SALES. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY ARTISTS WOULD KILL TO SELL 482,000 THE FIRST WEEK AND GET #1. WHEN DID THEY INVENT THIS NEW SPOT ON THE CHARTS THATS BETTER THAN #1 CAUSE I SHO IN THE HELL WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT IS . SHE COULD HAVE SOLD 2 MILLION THE FIRST WEEK AND YALL STILL WOULD HAVE FOUND SOME DAMN WAY TO HATE. RIGHT NOW ITS REALLY HARD TO TELL WHO IS THE GAME CAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT RIGHT NOW AND REALLY BRINGING IT HARD. NO DOUBT THAT RIHANNA IS REALLY DOING HER THING AS WELL AS ALICIA. AND WHEN IT COMES TO MARY I THINK THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT LISTEN TO HER MUSIC IS WOMEN SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 30 AND 50 WHO JUST WENT THROUGH OR MAYBE STILL GOING THROUGH MID-LIFE CRISES AND NOW THERE LIFES ARE JUST FINE. IM JUST SAYING THE SHIT GETS A LIL OLD, MARY WE KNOW YO ASS HAPPY DAMN BUT HEY ITS A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT. BUT BACK TO THE POINT I DONT GIVE A DAMN WHAT YALL SAY CAUSE THATS A BAD BITCH RIGHT THERE AND IN THE BACK OF ALL YALL HEADS YOU KNOW IT AND REGARDLESS TO WHAT YOU SAY SHE AINT GOING NO WHERE AND I DONT GIVE A DAMN HOW MANY MORE RECORDS THEY SOLD THEN HER SHALL WE GO TO THERE REAL WALLETS CAUSE THEM BITCHES DAMN SHO CANT HANG THEN BUT WE AINT ON THAT I JUST THOUGHT I'D THROW THAT OUT THERE SINCE YALL ASSES GOT OFF TOPIC FOR EVEN BRINGING THEM UP. BUT N-E WAYZ ALICIA IS TIMELESS, BEAUTIFUL AND HAS GREAT MUSIC AND AN AMAZING VOICE, BEY IS GORGEOUS AND A PERFORMER WITH A VOICE, AND GOOD MUSIC, MAYBE JUST NOT AS GOOD AS ALICIA. AND WELL RIHANNA HAS GOOD MUSIC..UMM....AND... SHE HAS SOMETHING ELSE IM JUST NOT SURE WHAT IT IS (OH YEAH SHE IS HOT) BUT THATS WHERE IT STOPS. ALL IM SAYING IS THE LADIES ARE DOMINATING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY RIGHT NOW CAUSE LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT BRITNEY CAUSE WE ALL KNOW SHE GONE SHUT IT DOWN. GIVE CREDIT WHERE ITS DUE AND QUIT HATING IF THE ARTIST YOU LIKE GOT #1 THERE WEEK BE HAPPY FOR THEM DONT TRASH OTHER PEOPLE WHO GET IT.

P.S. TO ANONYMOUS NOVEMBER 26, 2008 9:39 PM,
YOU MUST AINT SEEN THE NEW CLIPS FROM CADILLAC RECORDS CAUSE IDK WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT CAUSE FROM THE LOOKS OF IT BABYGIRL DONE LEARNED HOW TO NOW.

man bee is the shit man this chick making history on billboard charts with t.i an the no.1 album in the country right now let bee do her thing i never even thought single ladies would be on too of the hot 100 charts wow bee do ur ting girl

Ok Ok Ok it was all fantastic right but i just have an questions to ask ... and it only take 4 words... :)



















WHERE IS MICHELLE WILLIAMS?

I agree with MrsJones . . . first off, Sasha is not new . . . it's simply a safe haven that gives her the confidence she needs to show her ass on stage . . . she is just doing something different and bringing both sides together to say I am Sasha Fierce . . . as far as the glove, I think is has been blown out of proportion and hopefully she will remove it to symbolize that the gloves are off . . . as far as the first week records sales being 482,000 . . . it was still #1 and that counts for something . . . you guys are forgeting that it has been 2 years since she dropped an album. To compare her to MJB and A. Keys is unnecessary, all 3 women are great in there own right . . . not to mention they are constantly competing for the same awards . . . I have seen A. Keys in concert and that was a hell of a show . . . she doesn't just sit behind the piano, she entertains you . . . promotion is something that is major and she does do mad promo, but she is a major part of the promo for Cadiallac Records . . . which she only has a small part in towards the end of the movie . . . but she is such a huge name, they are counting on that and her fans to go see the movie, hence the reason she sings At Last everyway . . . killing two birds with one stone . . . the girl is talented and to take that away from her to uplift another artist is uncalled for . . . MJB is the Queen of R & B, so she has made her place in the industry and some refer to her as an icon . . . you guys even put Rihanna in this . . . she does not belong in the same category as the three women at all . . . there are enough fans for them all

Hold up Sam and CO. I remember reading a source that said Beyonce debuted at 505k...
so, which source is real, and which isn't?? And Btw the economy isn't the greatest right now, so we will see what happens. But she basically debuted at Gold. which is good, when sadly, her girls of DC3 and her sister can't barely make gold, which is crazy. Michelle and Kelly had really great albums, and it saddens me they didn't get the proper treatment or promotion.

She freaking flop. Go Alicia and MJB.

DO THE SALES INCLUCE BOTH ALBUMS 'I AM SASH FIERCE' AND 'I AM SASHA FIERCE (DELUXE EDITION' ??????

CUZ IF IT ONLY IS THE FIRST WEEK SALES FOR ONE ALBUM THAN THE OTHER ALBUM WHAT ABOUT THE SALES FOR THE OTHER????? AYEEEE???

SHE DOES HAVE TWO ALBUMS OUT YAA KNOW!

LOVE YOU BEE

On Stage Beyonce kick everyone's asses !

Maybe her cds are not great but her stage presence have always been there since the beginning.
