it's just beyonce stans on twitter having a meltdown, nothing more.

Wait... You're trying to compare first day post-release iTunes sales of an album that cannibalized those sales with a month-long pre-order and physical release and leaked a few days early with the first day sales of an album that was surprise released and initially available only on iTunes. (And yet it still came close.) An apples and oranges comparison if there ever was one. Or to continue the fruit metaphors, an extremely cherry-picked statistic. Honestly, this comes off kinda desperate.

 

Also, it's not clear to me anyone in the industry actually separates out pre-orders in calculating first day sales.

 

At the end of the day, everybody knows 25 outsells Beyoncé in any scenario given the same release strategy. So this is pretty useless.

This album is soooooo good. "All I Ask"? All I ask is that you slit my throat because I'm not worthy of hearing this beauty. Such a beautiful song wtf.

I started listening to 21 too. All it did was start the waterworks again :'(

[Coney Island King 26,003]

i hadnt heard 21 for a couple years in full [i played it 700000000000000 times]. i replayed it a couple months ago and it is such a stellar album, a classic, perfect from start to finish.

She is going to demolish that NSYNC record. Already at 2.3M after 3 days of sales.

i know people don't really care about background singers, but the background singer with the longer hair is named Amanda Brown, and she was on the 3rd season of the voice and was eliminated on the same night as Melanie Martinez, she has an amazing voice and her cover of Dream On by aerosmith went into the top 10 on itunes when she performed it, she is an amazing vocalist and deserves at least a moment of your time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmrIQueFogk

It's a pretty good album. It's just missing that "One and Only" Pt. 2, for me. Still, I've grown to like some of the tracks. I don't think she'll top "21". That album in itself, the way the right elements just came together, was such a rarity. It's hard to replicate that same impact without being forced and she seems to have not been bothered by that. I enjoy listening to "25" early in the morning. I kind of think of it as the day album while "21" was more of a night album. Some of my favorite tracks are: "Hello", "I Miss You", "Remedy", "Water Under the Bridge" and "Love In the Dark".

It's sold 530k+ in the UK so far but I don't think it'll beat Oasis' record (696k) not that it matters

[sweetie 6,627]

She's so beautiful. Literally flawless. Age done do her good.

After processing the first sales reports from Monday, Nov. 23, the album has already sold at least 2,433,000 in pure album sales in slightly more than three days. That sum beats the single-week record for an album since Nielsen began tracking sales in 1991, set by *NSYNC’s No Strings Attached, when it debuted with 2,416,000 in the week ending March 26, 2000.
