Just going to point out that Madonna at her same age (42) released Music with promo, performances, music videos, a tour, interviews, etc. Beyoncé can't even hit publish on youtube, which is the bare minimum of what we are asking. Her social media team should be taking care of tiktok, look at what some random people did with Cuff It

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I truly wonder who the haters are LOL.

 

Let’s go down the list of what the Bey defenders are saying:

 

1. she’s old and irrelevant 

2. she’s old and no one younger knows her music bc she lacks reach. 
3. She’s old and at least she’s #1 black artist 

4. She’s old and above everything that makes a legacy in the music industry LOL

5. She’s old and has kids and is the only rich woman in history who has to balance this phenom 
 

Do y’all not hear yourself on these excuses? There are 8 year olds today who can name a Michael Jackson song. Wtf are y’all talking about?!??  That’s a legacy that goes beyond being around in the 80’s lol. You really pigeonhole Beyoncé.

And since we are talking about truths here:

 

Lets talk about that stupid "shes the best compared to her peers":

 

A) wow, lets celebrate her doing better than a mentally struggling Britney for decades, an arrogant Xtina that completely turned off the GP with her growling and attitude, homewrecker Alicia, uncool Justin Timberlake, STD Usher.

 

Shakira, who was always considered a Tier below Bey, has caught up on her and is currently slaying her home market and even internationally. It is what it is.

 

B) People consider Rihanna and Bey peers, no matter the dates. These two are considered from the same gen for the GP. They dont care about semantics. 

And Rih has been demolishing Bey in terms of recurrent stats for the past decade, still outstreaming Bey despite her dropping 3 albums AND a live album post Anti. Let that sink in.

And say what you want about Ms Fenty: She completely COMMITS to any project she focusses on - whether it was music in the 2000s and early 2010s, or her Fenty empire ever since Anti dropped. Bey, comparatively speaking, is all over the place, has no focus and seemingly no strategy at all. 

 

These excuses need to stop, you are not doing Bey any favors.

so your defense is to trash her peers (who she's far ahead of) and compare her to someone that entered the industry 10 years after her because "it makes no difference to the GP"

 

Shakira is still a tier below Beyoncé. let's see what those football players say their favorite Shakira song is 

 

be so ******* for real

The gaslighting is strong with this one. 
 

Meanwhile, the data says….

the data says, Shakira is the queen of Latin music and she collaborated with the most popular Hispanic male producer to make a song about her extremely high-profile cheating scandal, involving one of Spain's most disliked football (soccer) players. 

 

is she touring stadiums? is she bothering to sing live? is anyone paying her $24M for a 60-minute show?

 

her most recent album (in 2017, btw) failed to debut in the Top 10 on Billboard. and it failed to top any of the major global markets, including Spain.

[kimberly]

learn what gaslighting is.

Ok y’all, after marinating on this album for a while I’m here to confirm:

 

 I’m that girl, cozy, alien superstar, cuff it OUTDOES the initial punch of Pray you catch me, hold up, don’t hurt yourself, 6 inch.

 

It’s just too epic. 

ITG, Cozy and Alien are enough, but let’s leave our good sis 6 Inch out of this 

[ScorpiosGroove]

in other news it seems to be confirmed Megan will perform with her, i really don’t care about her nor Savage and don’t think this will do more than a little one day viral moment on tiktok but at least she’s doing… something

I think you don’t understand what gaslighting is. You are using specific examples to undermine what we are actually seeing in the numbers isn’t real. 
 

And the data I was referring to wasn’t just about Shakira only.   
 

But let’s go down this list, yes she has toured stadiums, she just announced an actual world tour. She’s still incredibly favored by her main demographic and is a still able to garner massive numbers despite being older. Beyoncé is struggling in her main demographic, US, and can’t get people to listen to her old music. Shakira’s popularity is rising while Beyoncé is not even top 40 most streamed artist. 
 

How long will Beyoncé be able to tour stadiums if no one is listening to her music, new and old?

I'm happy for megan and she's being embraced. I worry about her mental health. 

 

It would be cute if they released a thique remix. 

[Mitsouko]

[Bicassie]

Imagine if she debuts a new song with meghan for ACT ll

the way them performing thique (in full) together would gag me so much more 

 

it’s not like savage will gain any big jump in streams from this anyway

Isnt she getting paid by Saudi Arabia to perform one song for $3M? Let’s say the performance takes 5min, then Shakira is getting $48M per hour  

 

edit: bringing up Dubai is crazy. Kimmy, you’re grasping at straws

ARE people listening to Shakira's old music or are bulk of her streams coming from Karol G and Bizarrap collaborations?

 

let's examine:

 

Daily streams for Shakira's singles from 2017's El Dorado:

 

Chantaje (with Maluma) - 270k

Me Enamore - 79k

Perro Fiel - (with Nicky Jam) - 110k

Trap (with Maluma again) - 10k 

Nada - 7k

 

WHO IS GASLIGHTING WHO MAMA?

[ScorpiosGroove]

was this REALLY that hard to do ? give the people what they want you mad woman

 

 

 

[kimberly]

compare those to Lemonade singles (sabotaged Spotify release):

 

Formation - 156k

Hold Up - 68k

Sorry - 70k

All Night - 46k

Freedom 32k

 

nothing to GLOAT, but even Lemonade album tracks like Daddy Lessons are out streaming her Maluma featuring hit single by threefold.

[Draper.]

Next month, Bey will be the second female artist to have two songs released before 2010 over 1 billion streams. The other one is not Shakira, just saying. 

 

 

[carameldelight]

It's cute people still think act ii is happening. This convo will be going on for a while because it's relevant. 

 

I did see a tweet that said Houston gets Megan and Travis and New Orleans will most likely get Big Freeda, what does that mean for KC? Hopefully the visuals.
