Beyoncé is going to release her "4"th album in 10 days. I have to say that the album is good and contains some great tracks!

I have a funny feeling that this album might not sell as big as her last 3 albums.

Well, yes, maybe not... The Sasha album for exemple has hits after hits that's true... But with good singles picks it could have honnest numbers... I'm really glad the second single is "The best thing I never had", I hope the video will be good.

That's a good question. I don't know. I think if it sells well the first week, it's solely because it's Beyonce. It doesn't seem like any of the singles are catching on and I think she has three available for purchase on Itunes. It's a shame because people will start questioning her popularity and her next album will be considered a "make it or break it". All that stuff is so annoying.

The first single didn't do well on iTunes and on Hot 100.

Beyonce Makes History At Glastonbury Beyonce made history at the landmark Glastonbury show Sunday night by being the first female singer to ever headline the festival's main stage. She thanked her fans for making her "dream" come true as she performed at one of the biggest - if not the biggest - rock festivals in the world. She told the audience: "I always wanted to be a rock star, and tonight we are all rock stars… I still can't believe I'm performing at Glastonbury."Earlier in the week, she told the BBC: "I am the first woman to ever headline the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. Unbelievable. I didn't even know that. I was just told that two days ago… (I) never, ever thought I would be able to headline Glastonbury… I'm so honored that I am the chosen woman and I promise, ladies, I'm going to rock!"Source

How many copies will this album sell this week? I don't think it will be a million copies. I would say around 250,000-300,000.

Beyonce's '4' Set For No. 1 Debut On Billboard Hits Daily Double have predicted that Beyonce's '4' will sale somewhere between the 275,000 to 300,000 unit mark. Likely to achieve her lowest first week sales figure to date, '4' has received a heavy promotional push in Europe in the last week. While the figure may not be what fans of the mega-star were hoping for, it is worth noting that the "Run The World (Girls)" singer has always gone onto exceed sales expectations in the long term and '4' has already become one of her most critically acclaimed releases. Heralded by many as her best work. In the UK, the album is already selling its British competitors 3:1 and is also set to top the chart there also and has already been certified Gold in Poland and triple platinum in Brazil. Source

Beyonce Album Sales Will Offer "Vindication," Says Columbia ChairmanAfter reports of dissatisfaction, panic and other pre-release drama, executives at Columbia Records are feeling vindicated by the positive early returns for Beyonce's new album, "4.""All the speculation that gets around is frustrating when it's just not true," Columbia/Epic Label Group Chairman Rob Stringer tells Billboard.com. "The story about us being unhappy with the record and stuff is just not true. There's never been any doubt or conversations about moving the record or changing it... Those conversations never existed. We're really, really happy with it."The label is particularly pleased with sales reports from "4's" initial days of official availability. Stringer says early indications are that the album will debut at No. 1 in as many as 14 countries, including the U.S., and in the Top 3 worldwide. It went triple-platinum in Brazil on its first day of sale, while U.K. projections have it selling "well over" 90,000 copies in its first week -- which more than doubles "I Am...Sasha Fierce's" roll-out in 2008 -- and 1.6 million over its lifespan. The album's second single, "Best Thing I Never Had," is No. 1 on the U.K. iTunes charts and currently sits at No. 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 29 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. "The numbers are very good everywhere," Stringer notes. "We thought the record is great from the beginning, and some of the stuff that is happening now is vindication of it."Columbia did scramble when "4's" first single, "Run the World (Girls)," leaked and was released ahead of schedule, peaking at No. 29 on the Hot 100. The album, meanwhile, leaked in full on June 7, three weeks ahead of its June 28 release date, leading to reports that "4" would be delayed and possible altered -- particularly after a tepid response from the blogosphere and a feeling that, with more than 70 songs worked on for the album, there would be ample material to create something markedly different than what was being distributed online. "We didn't want the leaks to happen," Stringer says. "But there was never any discussion of this album moving. It has always been that date (June 28). It's been that date for four months now. There was never a conversation about pushing it back, bringing it forward, changing the songs -- none of it."Source
