Don't be surprised if you get banned from this thread. Wtf? Are u on sth? What are these insinuations? Disgusting and literally reportable. Ur literally making it seem im racist, I hope ur aware. Ur insta banned for me for that. Horrible and despicable. For YEARS I have praised Bey. Ive been here since 2012 and have always supported her, always praised her, always been in awe. When Rennie dropped, I gagged and LOVED IT. AND YES this era is **** to me as a fan, consumer and someone who loves seeing her. And yes ive been very vocal about it, sure. But where u just went there shows u have 0,0 emotional intelligence. Im literally appalled. And what has Dua and me bopping to Future Nostalgia to do with anything? Where have I said shes vocally better or anywhere close to Bey? Im honestly shook at ur post. Bye Scorp

I think they’ll eventually add more because the demand will be overwhelming, but it’ll be down to Bey if she wants to do it. what about any SA/asian/african/AUS dates ? cause the girls deserve and it would help her streaming power a lot
period sis Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 LMAO. I feel so gaslighted when people try to drag Beyonce's streams. It's comparing a 90s act, who's entire discography aside from 2 albums (1 of which was absent for years) debuted before streaming and acting like she's supposed to be matching Billie or Ariana's numbers
Lovett Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 I went to a new gym tonight for the first time and there was a DJ blasting "Before I Let Go". A dream.

It’s not their fault she DEBUTED Apeshit on a tour night. Or dropped the album after tickets were bought. Or started incorporating non-singles like Summertime and Black Effect (she so crazy for that!) in the set list. I will never regret enjoying these songs alone, especially transcendent ones like Black Effect, but a whole stadium worth of hand waves and singing “higher higher higher higher” would have made my night.

Thank goodness Naughty Dog did what he needed to do in the UK. But the erasure is REAL. It’s easy for anti-charthive to disregard the GeePee not knowing anything off of EIL, The Gift, or Renaissance. But I want them to imagine playing CIL to a room of confused faces… that’s how I feel. right? I went on a road trip last week of december and i SO badly wanted to play a couple of songs from rena but it was crickets when cuff it came on shuffle (we were singing along to every other song that played before) it was so awkward. And mind you cuff it IS doing relatively well she makes amazing music that SHOULD be smashing if she just put her damn ego to the side and go all out. You wont lower your celebrity by promoting Bey

Not that I expect Miley numbers but a boost could happen if handled right. 1 billion is good for 6 months, what are you doing lol no other female from Beyoncé’s era is doing that. But no he’s comparing her numbers to like ariana grande and billie eillish with less than 10 years in the game instead of her actual peers Edited January 17, 2023 by bijonse

Beyonce is not doing back flips to make sure Spotify users keep her in the daily Top 10 (which is what this is really about) when its meaningless & yields no results. didn't she already address this? "if I gave 2 fucks about streaming numbers...i would've put Lemonade on Spotify....F***K YOU!" PREACH! Not to sound elitist (because we all occupy the same online space), but some really don't get that the streaming receipt brags and drags have little to no importance outside forums and stan Twitter. At the same time, streaming does have a degree of importance given how much sway it has over the charts . But I'd say it's more about streams of present music rather than catalog. One thing the complainers ought to remember is that Bey's audience is generally older (and trending older as time goes on). They don't stream as much, uphold her strong physical sales prowess, and sure as hell show up for her tours. It's all about...perspective. Bey is anomaly (in a good way) because she's managing to compete in the current climate (scoring #1s and top 10s) with her present music while benefitting in other ways by the established success of her catalog hits. Sure things could be better, but I'd rather take my wins with Bey where I can rather than try and measure her relevance, power, and popularity by the same metrics used for Ariana Grande and them girls. Context people, context.

bijonse Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Beyoncé is a 90s act that had her chart success peak in the 2000s when she went solo. That is reality. Like, you don’t see people saying MJ and Paul McCartney debuted when they went solo. It was with their groups
Shelter Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 I mean her streams aren't even bad. People are just listening to the haters too much. Other artists who came out around the same time as Bey can't even get their single to 50 million.

I will never regret enjoying these songs alone, especially transcendent ones like Black Effect, but a whole stadium worth of hand waves and singing “higher higher higher higher” would have made my night. I guess I am over-estimating the casual fan, I just cannot imagine having tickets to see two artists (even if I bought the tickets on a whim) and then the artists release a new album and I don't listen to it. Obviously they were just coming to see Beyoncé and Jay-Z do their old hits, but the solution would be to release the album months in advance, promote it, release multiple singles, promote them, etc...which is just not something Beyoncé was going to do for this side project. Anyway we are a bit different because I actually don't enjoy fans singing along at concerts. I pay to hear the artists, not fans screeching. A couple key lines, sure, but if people don't know "I CAN'T BELIEVE WE MADEEEE ITTT" then again, it's not Beyoncé's fault (other than releasing a joint album no one really asked for) because people knew Lemonade lyrics and multiple new songs were there from the very start of the FWT.
