It's The Hives themselves that are not confident with B from what I've seen. I still remember everyone was predicting 100-200K back then like what the hell. 

!!! 

Weren't all the people expecting more than 300k called delusional here when she could have pulled 450k-500k had she cared. And that's not just fairytale either.

What! I never said Rih always did good pure album sales! I said she will surpass Bey this time around because she will capitalize on the Super Bowl in the right way. 

Okay. Joanne did 74K after the Superbowl. The sales boost is gonna spread across all albums. MDNA did 350K with bundles; and JT did 293K release on the same week as Superbowl.

 

None of this album came close to Lemonade and ST's 3 days sales. 

Like I said, y'all are so confident with other artist but always underestimate B.

I get its frustrating but we cannot be looking bitter and jealous. Rih is having her own ST/LEM moment. 

 

No one is bitter. Im so so excited to see RiRi back in action. 

Itll just always be annoying to see other pop girls rollouts and compare these to Beys. Even Cher does more during an album era than Bey and shes just as legendary if not even more

!!! And let's put focus on alternative/experimental. What are they even talking about. 

IASF and Rennie are the pop albums, still the first one has half RnB songs and the other still has songs like AHAP, Thique, Energy, Move, Church Girl. 

I love REN is a perfect blend of everything too.

And their excuses was " you're just setting her up". 

Besides, I don't see Katy or Gaga come close to B's touring numbers despite both had performed at the Superbowl. 

 

Oh ya and Bruno Mars too.

The comments seen on here recently only proves that most of you care about numbers than the actual music. Beyoncé is not seeing Rihanna in terms of overall commercial performance and that’s fine…

 Rihanna’s comeback is hugely anticipated as she hasn’t released anything in 6 years.. Beyoncé has never really left the scene so ofcourse her moment will be bigger. Y’all need to relax and let the girl have her moment. 
 

secondly an anticipated comeback does not mean longevity or that the music will be  well received. One can argue that Adele’s comback was more anticipated compared to Rihanna and now 30 is not even in the top 100 of billboard 200 charts. 

Love RIhanna and happy for her . Im not really comparing cause i know how B works these days, just wished there was a little more engagement or one Performance at least but nothing to extra also knowing she been in the game for sooo long !  Id just would like to have a little grasp on the teams thought/roll out of this Era . + Superbowl nowadays is def "bigger " than 10 years ago because of social media . 

Also American stans need to stop setting Beyoncé up. Great if you guys don't follow football but the rest of the world does, it has more money that much industries. To think they're not famous and put Beyoncé up for drags is ridiculous because hmm Ronaldo and Messi are massive and outside of the US every knows them and most worship them. That stupid tweet is still getting traction and getting her dragged. 

 

Let's hope some feel like streaming Renaissance after, we could use the streams.

Umm no. I don't remember The Weekend/JT and this year's performance at all. But I do remember the iconic dance battle in 2016 that actually went viral. 

 

Twitter does not equate to real world. Ask Normani.

A reminder nothing takes away from Bey’s 25 year track record of being a visionary, talent, impeccable performer, and how she churned out 3 recognized and acclaimed masterpieces the past 9 years alone. Some people don’t even have one body of work that will go down in history.

Also Rih has always been more commercially appealing since forever like  Her music is easily digestible for broader audiences. Why are we so shocked? 

I know someone did not just say Cher is more legendary than Bey… 

 

Y’all just be saying anything

No, I don’t mean you directly are bitter. 
 

I’m saying collectively (not just ATRL Hive) the impression gives off like we’re bitter at times. The frustration is valid but when we fall down the rabbit hole of “if Bey did ABC like Taylor’s XYZ …” its not a good look.

Bey is currently standing over RENAISSANCE, holding a pillow over its face until it suffocates and dies. 

 honestly I only want old songs and Ren; I don’t want the new acts and her back catalogue to fight for space. Remember how complained about her excessive use of medleys?

This! They’re so annoying. Like why are we even discussing Rihanna? Let the girl have her moment. Beyoncé did that with self titled and lemonade. There is literally no comparison.

It really be the delusional casual fans that be saying stupid ****, not the actual Hive.  We know her limits, her appeal, and don’t fall for hype Queen articles written by college interns. 

I've realized that as long as I'm away from here and Twitter, I don't think about Beyoncé, Renaissance, charts, sales, singles or those damn videos.

I’m from the US and even I know how big Ronaldo and Messi are as celebrities (bigger than any singer on the planet tbh). Like the numbers are right there:

 

Ronaldo: 483M IG followers

Messi: 362M IG followers

Bey: 275M IG followers

 

That study that said Beyoncé fans are dumb continues to prove true lolol 

Ronaldo and his family are Beyoncé stans so football Twitter are dragging for no reason. That hunty is bopping to Renaissance on the DL.

I finally have a top 3 from the album:

 

God's Groove

Pure

Cuff It

I know who Ronaldo is but never heard of Messi.

I love Rihanna but... R9 will have been in gestation for SEVEN YEARS by the time of the Super Bowl. If it's not one of the best albums of the century it will be a disappointment. Let's at least wait to hear sumn before comparing Rih to Bey in the 2020s.

The sports fan and Hive in me knows Ronaldo. And his fam goes hard for Bey. 

@swissman come back and deliver some positivity.
