No one knew about Beyonce's album dropping. She did no promo. It spread on social media like wildfire and sold over half a million digital copies in three days. I wasn't comparing RSO to Beyoncé FFS. It was just an example of an artist who successfully did what Thinny said can't/shouldn't be done.

And with that, I'm throwing in the towel. It's exhausting to have to break things down to the lowest common denominator because points (that are really not that complicated) go flying over people's heads. This isn't the first time, but it's definitely the last. I just can't stomach this forum anymore. Too much stupidity running amuck.
