Americano and Bloody Mary below Hair? That was a lil bit shocking tbh. Not as much as seeing Judas ending at #3? I thought that it would have been outside Top 5.

Highway Unicorn (Road To Love) is a huge grower. It needs its time to love it.

Lose My Breath

Don't try to convince us you didn't vote Anastacia :kink:

It's not be relegated to a buzz single, if that is what you're trying to say there. It is still the first single, nothing has changed. Why are people assuming that it's been changed to a buzz single?

I suppose most people assume it is a buzz single due to the fact that hasn't made the hype that everyone expected from an artist as huge as Beyoncé, and secondly its debility to make impact to the audience. I don't support this, but i think it's how common people see it (aside people involved with music etc.).

The intro for Americano is ridiculously theatrical, and that's no bad thing, I love how OTT it is.

I think theatrical is the word that suits most to describe Americano. The whole build of the song, the tense of her voice, the music.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a Beyoncé smash hit this era. Every artist has their quiet phase. None of the three songs we've heard so far are really single material so this will have to be the most commercial thing on there... as of right now I'd predict that the album will sell a healthy 1.5 million in the US and platinum in the UK but won't come close to the dizzy heights of the IASF era. Which is fine.

Beyoncé is too clever to let the whole era die. If sales are not as high as she expects, she will easily make something ala "Bday" and re-release the album with a HUGE hit.

Don't get how it didn't go #1 everywhere^

 

I thought this album would go #1 in 15+ countries :P

Charts in some countries aren't based on the same week as everywhere else. For example in Ireland it entered at #1 with only 4 days sales. So probably this may happened in other countries too. Plus, in some countries they started selling the album before 23rd so i don't know if this counts.

First charting positions of Born This Way:

01 Australia

01 Ireland

01 Sweden

02 Finland

05 Netherlands

12 Poland

Everybody's Girl is too low -_- I actually prefer this finished version to the demo now.

Nah the rest are just way better to be below it. I like it, never skip it (i think the only song that i don't listen often is Good Hit) but after so many listens still can't reach the other ones.

How did i forget to do this rate? From fave to least fave:

11 Papi

10 Hypnotico

10 Charge Me Up

10 Starting Over

10 On The Floor

09 Invading My Mind

09 Until It Beats No More

09 I'm Into You

08 (What Is) Love?

08 On The Floor (Ven A Bailar)

08 Villain

07 Everybody's Girl

07 One Love

06 Run The World

06 Take Care

06 Good Hit

Definitely, one of her best albums, alongside JLo and This is Me...Then.
