That definitely happened with Single Ladies, I don't think it happened with 7/11, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzswiftie Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 But ATRL told me Telephone was her last hit and the song with 500m views and 300m Spotify plays wasn’t a hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 If she hadn't messed up the video release back in Nov'15, she would have had another easy top 10... maybe top 5 hit Ahh my messy self-sabotaging fave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainsskyscrapers Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Based off of Kworb... she still has 2 7/11 videos listed on her page: One from her personal account (the one above 500M) on the day the song dropped, and another 50M+ video that was released to her Vevo when all of the ST visuals were released. They should really merge the two. Same with the Private Formation video (50M+ views) and the public one released around Grammy nomination time (167M).

I love how she let her brand do all the jobs, no marketing gimmicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Beyonce is proof that you don't need chart hits to succeed. Some of the biggest classics of the 2000s also flopped on the charts. The Scientist by Coldplay is arguably in the top 3 biggest classics of the 2000s and it didn't even chart on the Hot 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the fact that "she hasn't had a #1 in over a decade" yet remained one of the most relevant and beloved musicians of her generation and it has nothing to do with legacy and EVERYTHING to do with what she has produced in that decade since Single Ladies. THAT is legendary, that is superstardom that goes beyond the confines of statistical data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
