very impressive

New Rules

Exactly. Jay wasn't playing when he said that "new rule" **** over the summer. I know these label heads are uneasy right now.

The only downside money is that a digital sale is worth only a third of a physical sale.

Wow, seriously? I always assumed it would be cheaper to put on iTunes so it would generate more money. Never knew that.


Can't believe she's over 822K. Never could imagine this. Breaking digital records and all, wow

My wife is a huge Beyonce stan (so much so that she purchased the album on both her itunes acct and mine, ) but she told me a few months ago about Beyonce and Jay Z shooting on a beach while on vaca, with a bunch of people around, and they told the the people if they promised not to snap pics or record anything that afterward they would stay on the beach and chill with em.. this came to my memory when i saw the vid for "Drunk Love".. STILL shocked no one snapped a pic, it was only shared on somebody's twitter back then.. Her fans are something else though she is running the Game

Yea some lucky girls posted it on her instagram back in August... But no one knew what it was for or even recorded it...

Yeah that's how the digital game works. Believe it or not nicki minaj talked about it on hot 97 last year. It's a direct result of the industry being stubborn and not wanting go the digital route early on when steve jobs made em a sweet offer. They were stubborn and by the time they were forced to go digital, steve jobs and digital retailers punished em. This digital game is terrible. I saw a story of some artist that had millions of streams on spotify and only made like $1300! lol

Final sales are in. 618K in the states, plus a little under 210K around the world. Very impressed with that. Physical copy in stores on the 20th and there will be plenty of stans that will want the physical copy next week so that's gotta be a second week of around 200K

why they reporting first week sales after 5 days?
