Yeah, Beyoncé hasn’t had a hit of her own in what? Over 5 years. 

Hasn't had a solo number one in over ten....sad!

The Rih fans trying it in this thread.  I genuinely like Rih and her music, I really do, but to be a Rihanna fan thinking you could come for Taylor’s sales, of all people....

This isn't a Taylor thread. It's a HDD thread for the upcoming Billboard 200 chart, which Taylor, Beyoncé and Gaga will be featuring on. Though Gaga isn't listed in the OP because her 2-month old album is bombing out of the top 30.

 

We accepted no one was warming to The Gift a year ago but here we are with an album charting again while Gaga’s huge comeback and repeak lasted as long as Sour Candy’s runtime. They love to keep deflecting bringing up excuses for Joanne flopping etc but the truth is no one cared about Gaga after one week. That is pathetic

Not Brandy outselling Taylor Swift on her second week  

Taylor has no physical copies in stores right now, obviously her pure sales won't be high. Focus on the fact that your fave hasn't had a solo number one in ten years. Do that. You thought you did something here.

I can't believe stans of that legacy act Rihanna are coming for Taylor's album sales.

 

The Gift is a year old, anyone that expected big numbers out of it is trolling or braindead. 

I mean Lover was boosted to number 16 simply because of Folklore......The Gift had a whole production and huge promo.

Beyoncé’s last album is Lemonade and the gift is a soundtrack 

 

"Lemonade" [first 9 weeks] 1-2-2-2-4-3-2-4-3 [18 weeks top 10]

 

"Chromatica" [first 9 weeks]: 1-2-2-6-11-18-24-27-34 [4 weeks top 10]

 

At the end of the day, Beyoncé is still bigger than your fave so sit down

 

Beyonce's last two albums are The Gift and EIL. PERIODT 

If ya'll don't claim them then stop claiming Destiny Child's sales. Pick a struggle and make it make sense

EIL is credited as The Carters not Beyonce...so that factually is wrong!

Well to be fair Lover was boosted from the mid-30s, The Gift needed to be pushed back up from the dead, literally 

 

OT - First multi-week #1 album by a female artist this year

Considering the fact that people didn't even buy the one version that's out, am I seriously supposed to think it would've made a difference? 

Wow

[Broken]

Homecoming flopped.

Everything Is Love flopped.

The Gift flopped.

The Gift Deluxe flopped.

 

The consistency .

Homecoming was one of the most popular live albums of the streaming era. So no, this one did not flop.

[Norte]

Beyoncé , girl move on and deliver B7 

[Mirtilo]

It's amazing how Gaga once again failed to retain the little success she gained with ROM. Poor girl, her legacy becomes more washed up with time.

Well they’re completely different sounding albums for completely different audiences. There was no promo surrounding the album as much as the movie. 

[argos]

20 pages of Rihanna and Beyoncé fans fumes 

OT: Lord #1 for a 2nd week, and probably a 3rd even. Not everyone has that.

Chromatica will end up being a platinum or multi-platinum album, with one #1 hit, and two top 5. And you will seethe.

Why would it go multi-platinum? Isn't it at like 600k?

 

Also RollingStone has it nearly out of the top 50.
