Mr. Truth

Beyonce having two versions (a clean and parental advisory one) so her sales are separated. This means that they should be combined at the end of the week to get her full total, right (as it is not a remix)?

Well it is for Beyonce. God anything she puts out stays in the top 3 for an age in the US. This show this song is very poor. And, it doesn't matter where it gets in the this country, it matters how well it does in the US (because thats her biggest market, if they don't like her stuff there, it will be changed- probably highly likely now). And, if the lead track is performing rubbish on iTunes there is no hope for the album. You cannot deny that good sales on the hot digital tracks, are normally now representative of how well albums will do (with a few exceptions). Once this single has been labelled a flop which it has been on US radio (my friends over there tell me), the album won't push much.

It was in the top 5 for 1 week- for her and other established artists that is very poor. It has bombed on iTunes and continues to drop like a stone. Maybe the album won't be called B'day then? Because if they want to destroy her career, then they should proceed! I for one won't be buying it, in its current form and I was really looking forward to her new material! :rolleyes:

Well it was mentioned in the SCP thread and I've seen things on websites. But, on the whole I think the album should be scrapped and she should come up with something totally different, because the tracks I have heard have been rubbish! I tried my best to like Deja Vu but, its not vintage Beyonce. I'm not suprised it's bombed in the US. Her 2nd track should be called "Ring the PANIC alarm" if she proceeds with this drivel!

Deja Vu is C-list Beyonce at best, but she probably will still march all over Shakira, this week.
