I have seen the light. Love the sound of this album a lot more than 4.

Pretty Hurts, Haunted, Partition, Jealous, Mine, Heaven, and Blue are my favorite tracks. I especially love Haunted. Beyonce should consider making more tracks that sound like it.

Finally got my physical copy a few days ago and watched all the videos. Bey really outdid herself, not a single video bored me. Pretty Hurts sends such a strong message :heart

The videos are SO important to me: Beyoncé always makes the most amazing music, but sometimes I just need months of listening to really get into the songs. She doesn't make easy-listening music for my ears. But with the videos... BANG. I just feel every. single. song.

I watched the entire set last night. Loved nearly all the videos. Ghost was my favorite, so gorgeous.

XO has become my favorite off the album. Just love the energetic and upbeat atmosphere of that song, along with the optimistic tints it has. Love love LOVE!

Where do they even sell the physical copy? Finding it is quite difficult for me, and I've been searching for a while now.

I loved how she quietly and stealthy slayed almost everyone this year. This is loads better than 4. I don't even remember a single song from that... thing.

I got mine at Best Buy. Target and Amazon are being dicks towards Beyoncé in regards to the release so they're not carrying the album.

^but don't you live in America?
In canada, best buy and futureshop sell it online only.

I got mines from Walmart! I know HMV also sells them...and the Best Buy in my town carries them as well. You just have to look around, really; most stores should be carrying them by now though.

Oh didn't realize you lived in Canada lol

Um something about how the album was only available online at the time (with the unexpected release) therefore her company wasn't allowing anyone to actually pre-order physical copies through the company websites and Target/Amazon got their panties in a wad about it.

BEYONCÉ will be released in Japan Feb. 12, I wanna see how it will do on charts there :)

I've never really took an interest in her music but this whole surprise album has got me interested...

Same. I've always enjoyed the songs she has released as singles, but never really enjoyed her albums as a whole. But this release...flaw-free. Love the visual concept as well.

US album sales:

Week 5, #2 @Beyonce, Beyoncé 78,881 (1,510,763 total).

It is so much better than 4! Even though I love only half of the album, Haunted is mu current fav! :3

best album of the year 2013 AND 2014

cant wait for the grammys parformanceeee

I'm freaking out over which song she's going to perform... Partition tbh.

she's gon perform something with Jay-Z and i think it is Drunk in Love

It'd be sweet if they did a mash up of all of the collabs they've done together throughout the years
