Alicia Keys

[Wmosi]

I see her flopping.

Unless she comes with a mainstream lead single.

Beyonce did good with 4 in the USA. But thats it. So i don't consider Alicia Keys being more successful than Beyonce. Could be a tie between these two, or just weaker sales for Ms. Keys.

Worldwide? I don't know. She was really strong in the UK last era. She could do well there with some little promo.

Lmao.

Alicia's always been bigger than Beyonce, at least album sales-wise.
SIAM outsold Dangerously in Love.
Diary outsold B'Day.
As I Am outsold I Am Sasha Fierce..
TEOF outsold 4.

How amazing is Another Way To Die w/ Jack White, she needs to incorporate more guitars into her music

[truthless]

Many big names flopped last year...

Thats why i'm worried about Alicia.

A big big facepalm.

Guess you aren't aware of the fact, that these albums were released in different years. I agree with the first two albums of both. But i don't see how As I Am outsold I Am Sasha Fierce. Is that just US based or WW? WW I Am Sasha Fierce was stronger. TEOF was released in 2009... 4 was released 2011. A big difference don't you think? As sales declined heavily.

TEOF was released 1 and half years earlier. I think still TEOF did slightly better, but both did very similarly.


actually I was quite disappointed as TEOF could sell more. She only relased 3 singles.. and The album was back to #2 in UK when the last one relased..

truthless, stop trolling. If you hate Alicia why are you even here? Stop trying to start stan wars.

waiting for you to reply about Dreaming... (do not dare shade it)

[Plym]

I loved it, I even bought it off iTunes earlier.

[Titan3510]

Dreaming? Isn't that a Beyonce song?

[HBIC]

YAAAS, it's amazing, so underrated

Dreaming? Isn't that a Beyonce song?

Ch... do not even compare that horrible wretched mess to the masterpiece that is Alicia Keys - Dreaming. Look at the last page, I posted it

[Titan3510]

I just listened to it.

Dreaming is no masterpiece but it's a cute song. And it's a lot better than Beyonce's version.

Beyonce can sing her tail off but her vibrato can be extremely hideous...

[HBIC]

I want another Nas collab

[Titan3510]

I want another Nas collab

You like Nas?

[Brad]

I want another Nas collab

That would be cool.

[Eamon]

Her version of Dreaming is lovely.

Can't wait for the new album.

[Charmbracelet]

I hope she comes this Autumn with new music, her music suits the Autumn/Winter months so well (and I cannot wait any longer)

[GetBack]

I hope she comes this Autumn with new music, her music suits the Autumn/Winter months so well (and I cannot wait any longer)

This is so true!

[tada]

This is so true!

yes, the fall is pefect. I guess early November would be the best possible release date
First single should follow UN-THINKABLE pattern, i mean very urban and typical song of her

[Hype]

As I Am outsold I Am Sasha Fierce

no, it didn't? As I Am is on 6mil, IASF is on 7mil

The Element Of Freedom was a return to form for her after As I Am, which wasn't that good.
I hope she takes it back to music she did during SIAM & Diary, those albums are both incredible.

[TIfan]

Music is music no matter the sells. Alicia can sell a album better than Beyonce (atleast in US). The Diary of AK outsold Dangerously in Love around the world.... As I am had 1 top 10 hit and 3 top 10 R&B hits. it still sold 3.8 million in US and 6 million around the world. IASF has 4 top 10s and other multiple top 40s. Like 7 singles and sold 3 million in US with 7.5 million around the world.

This has to be her best live vocal everrrrr! Absolute babe!

Are people seriously comparing an album that came out in 2001(when album sales were still healthy)to an album that came out in 2003(album sales on the decline)?!? Considering Alicia Keys had a 3years head star as a solo artist, i would expect her to ahead in album sales. Amazingly, Beyonce has accumulated album sales with a short amount of time compare to some artists who've been out longer than her(solo wise)internationally, Beyonce album sales a lot more consistent than Alicia's.
Anyhow i hope Alicia can give us some versatility with her next album and step up her vocal game. I don't want a rehash of her past albums.

The Diary of AK is released later than Dangerously in Love. And as you expect, Alicia sold almost 9m copies more than Beyonce internationally.

[Storyteller]

According to wikipedia (I know not the most reliable source)

Alicia Keys: Worldwide
Songs in A Minor 12million
The Diary of Alicia Keys 9million
As I Am 6million
The Element Of Freedom 4million

Beyonce: Worldwide
Dangerously In Love 11million
B’Day 7million
I Am… Sasha Fierce 7million
4 2.1million

i don't care who sold more, B or AK.. I personally always prefered Alicia. Her songs move me more. Her Unplugged record is still unmatched by many and therefore outstanding.
