It really was an a-f*cking-mazing performance. It came just in time for her album in the UK too! It would've sunk without trace otherwise, but now it looks like it's actually going to get off to a great start!

BEYONCE’S 4 SCORES

Diva Headed for #1 Debut, Big Sean, Selena Gomez Next

June 29, 2011

Fresh off her triumph on closing night at Glastonbury, Columbia diva Beyonce’s 4 will debut at #1 next week on the HITS album chart with between 275-300k in first-week sales. Her previous album, ‘08’s multiple Grammy winning I Am… Sasha Fierce, debuted with 463k, but that was during the Q4 sales rush in November.
Those figures are based on one-day sales from those music retailers around the country not augmenting their income by selling illegal fireworks out of the back door.

SoCal rapper Big Sean’s Finally Famous: The Album, his feature-length debut after a series of critically acclaimed “Finally Famous” mixtapes, is the first release under Kanye West’s new deal for his G.O.O.D. Music label, through Island Def Jam Music Group, and should do in the 90-95 range.

Hollywood’s Selena Gomez & the Scene return with a third album, When the Sun Goes Down, which will debut with an estimated 75-80k in sales.

Seventh season American Idol winner David Cook’s second 19/RCA/RMG album is looking at estimated sales in the 45-50k range, a far cry from the 280k debut for his first album.

Warner Bros. Long Island emo band Taking Back Sunday’s fifth, self-titled album and second for WMG, is slated for 28-32k

That’s the same amount as this year’s American Idol winner Scotty McCreery’s five-track Walmart exclusive, which includes his debut single, “I Love You This Big.” The EP will sell for $5 at stores and walmart.com. The other Idol finalists, Lauren Alaina, Haley Reinhart and James Durbin, have also released five-track discs for the retailer.

Warner Bros. hip-hopper Curren$y, the former New Orleans rapper once signed to Master P’s No Limit label as part of the 504 Boyz, recently inked a deal with the Bunny for his Jet Life Recordings imprint. The latest release, Weekend at Burnie’s, his sixth studio album overall, is on target for 23-27k.

Interscope’s veteran rap-rockers Limp Bizkit return with Gold Cobra, Fred Durst and company’s first new studio album since 2005’s The Unquestionable Truth, Part 1, and first proper full-length since 2003’s Results May Vary, looking at a 23-27k debut.

Fantasy/Concord Music Group’s Rave On Buddy Holly, a tribute album featuring a star-studded cast that includes Paul McCartney, the Black Keys, Florence and the Machine, Patti Smith, My Morning Jacket, Kid Rock, Lou Reed and Cee Lo Green, is on target for 20-23k.

Universal Latino Puerto Rican Latin Grammy winner Luis Fonsi’s Tierra Firme, not based on the Guy Hand private equity company, is eyeing a debut of 14-17k.

The market was down 6% vs. last week, down 2% vs. same week last year and now flat year to date. And we all know what flat is… Everybody, “It's the new up!”

Pretty good result considering the lead single pretty much flopped. The second single seems to be taking off now, so it'll be interesting to see if the album has legs.

Yeah I really like the album now too. It's not a classic or anything like that, but when I'm in the mood for some Bee, it really hits the spot. It just needed a couple more club bangers for some variety, but even as is, I enjoy it. The only one I don't like is that Diane Warren abomination "I Was Here".

Sasha Fierce is also back in the Top 40 in the UK. It's 3x Platinum in Brazil in one week. She may even be #1 for a second week in the US. She's know tied with Britney Spears for most consecutive #1 albums.

Billboard: Beyonce's 4 To Debut at #1 in 14 Countries


Beyonce Album Sales Are a 'Vindication,' Columbia's Rob Stringer Says

June 29, 2011
After reports of dissatisfaction, panic and other pre-release drama, executives at Columbia Records are feeling vindicated by the positive early returns for Beyonce's new album, "4."

"All the speculation that gets around is frustrating when it's just not true," Columbia/Epic Label Group Chairman Rob Stringer tells Billboard.biz. "The story about us being unhappy with the record and stuff is just not true. There's never been any doubt or conversations about moving the record or changing it... Those conversations never existed. We're really, really happy with it."

The label is particularly pleased with sales reports from "4's" initial days of official availability. Stringer says early indications are that the album will debut at No. 1 in as many as 14 countries, including the U.S., and in the Top 3 worldwide. It went triple-platinum in Brazil on its first day of sale, while U.K. projections have it selling "well over" 90,000 copies in its first week -- which more than doubles "I Am...Sasha Fierce's" roll-out in 2008 -- and 1.6 million over its lifespan. The album's second single, "Best Thing I Never Had," is No. 1 on the U.K. iTunes charts and currently sits at No. 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 29 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.

"The numbers are very good everywhere," Stringer notes. "We thought the record is great from the beginning, and some of the stuff that is happening now is vindication of it."

Columbia did scramble when "4's" first single, "Run the World (Girls)," leaked and was released ahead of schedule, peaking at No. 29 on the Hot 100. The album, meanwhile, leaked in full on June 7, three weeks ahead of its June 28 release date, leading to reports that "4" would be delayed and possible altered -- particularly after a tepid response from the blogosphere and a feeling that, with more than 70 songs worked on for the album, there would be ample material to create something markedly different than what was being distributed online.

"We didn't want the leaks to happen," Stringer says. "But there was never any discussion of this album moving. It has always been that date (June 28). It's been that date for four months now. There was never a conversation about pushing it back, bringing it forward, changing the songs -- none of it."

Stringer says the company is looking at an 18-month campaign for "4," which will include "extensive touring" by Beyonce. Just back from a successful overseas run that included three concerts in France and a closing-night gig at the U.K.'s Glastonbury Festival, she'll roll out a documentary, "Beyonce: Year of 4," on Thursday on MTV and BET, then perform Friday on ABC's GMA Summer Concert Series. She'll head back to the U.K. for a July 9 show at Scotland's T in the Park and a stop the next day at the Oxegen Festival in Ireland.

"The main concentration for the next few months is to get this record working everywhere," Stringer says. "She's well versed in being a global artists. The touring plan is extensive. The promo plan is extensive. We also know we're going to put out a lot of singles and...shoot a lot of videos from the record. There's enough positive information that we think we can work the record for another 18 months, and hopefully over that period we'll all be proved right that this is an important record and a commercially successful record."
