If you're not Beyonce, don't do it like Beyonce. Kid Cudi learnt the hard way :-)

On Dec. 13th 2013, Beyonce dropped her fifth studio album Beyoncé at midnight with absolutely no prior promo or warning. The album sold 828,773 copies worldwide in 3 days becoming the fastest selling album in iTunes history.

On February 26th 2014, Kid Cudi decided to pull a Beyonce by dropping his 4th album 'Satellite Flight: The Journey to The Mother Moon' on iTunes with no prior promo and no mainstream support.

Well, the numbers are in...and some artists really need promo before releasing an album. According to Billboard magazine, Kid Cudi's album has moved only 87,000 copies first week, making it Kudi's smallest debut sales week in his solo career.

  18. ****************************

    Don't be fooled!

    Her world tour was the promo!!

    She dropped the album in the middle
    of a sell-out Tour plus she's so over-exposed.

    Kudi isn't big enough to pull off such a move.

    Gaga & Riri could tho

  59. still better than beyonce doe

    ReplyDelete
  60. Linda do you also know that he his independent ,and his going to make more money than dudes who are signed,and 80 thousand is not bad for an album without any form of promotion

    ReplyDelete
  61. I don't understand the much Hype on this Beyonce, especially Linda. I like kudi if he sold 1copy or not, Beyonce is an R'N'B singer while Kudi is a rapper, Beyonce sales more cos both female, some men and gays will like her album and Kudi only men and a few of girls that like Rap. And which album did she sell is it the one she stole Future's demo and produced it before him that man the poor boy remove the track from his upcoming album abeg make I hear word everyone acts like Beyonce is all saint and has no skeleton in her cupboard mtcheewwww. Come rain come sun I prefer Rihanna and Gaga they are better than her cos they are creative and vibrant and can do any music of their choice Full stop

    ReplyDelete
  62. 87k is pretty impressive...... Do your research....... Most rappers don't sell that much even with promo......

    ReplyDelete
  63. LOL, but Kid Cudi is shit tho he wouldn't have sold out regardless
