@Vinny. This is Itunes, A digital chart. That means Beyonce sold more in the physical department. I Am…Sasha Fierce and Single Ladies were released in 2008 also.
Wait till Billboard release their end-year list, because that’s the overall sales, then we’ll see how Bee did.
Congratz to my girl GaGa. She’s killing it!

omfg, Empire State of Mind is soooooo overrated, i can pick 10 songs in 1 minute that were better than that song this year, god i’m sick of jay z getting so much praise, he is garbage
All The Above by Maino shoulda been best hip hop song of the year, 10x better, the only reason it isn’t is becuz it never got to #1 becuz maino was unknown by mostly everyone before that

@GYANNIA
Yeah, you failed to realized I am such a serious flop counted each sale twice
so in actuality she only sold 1.25 million
and her debut was technically 250,000
Face it, Beyawnsay has seen her better days. She’s stale and predictable. She’s not dominating, heck she has a clothing line and Riihanna has been crowned a fashion ICON. Poor Beyawnsay. LOL!!!! She so overrated and all that copying and stealing did nothing. She better pray for more endorsement deals because her sales are gone-zo!!! and she’s getting too old anyway to be relevant in this fickle world!. LOL
