It would not have sold nearly as much because none of the songs are strong. No one talks about the album and she only has one single out. When that Drunk in Love song came out it took it a while to catch on because it is not a strong single but Viacom is shoving it down regardless.

It sold that much quickly because she dropped it without letting anyone know about it. She dropped it after Justins, Gaga's, Perry's and so forth. Her camp purposely dropped it at the end of year.

All marketing tactics. It was great marketing, she just wasn't the first to do it.
