Y'all having melt downs over Gaga's streaming success but I just peeped at their base and saw this:

 

Gaga's albums with album tracks above 100M streams:

 

Mayhem: 2, about to be 3.

Chromatica: 1 (if you count 911)

Joanne: 0

ARTPOP: 0

Born This Way: 3

The Fame Monster: 1

The Fame: 0

 

 

Renaissance 15/16 tracks have over 100 million streams.  BMS, Cuff Hit, AHAP, and Virgos Groove are singles. And we all know VG wasn't treated like a real single and none got TV performances, appearances, award show moments, just temporary radio push... I just checked BRAT and less than half its tracks are over 100 million and that is Charli's lane. RENAISSANCE SMASHED so much harder than we give it credit for.

 

Cowboy Carter has Bodyguard. Tyrant & Jolene and coming within the next 2 months. For such a lengthy album it's expected for streams to be stretched out but she's still doing way better than what we see above for Gaga. Gaga has always had higher highs but Beyonce has always been the most consistent superstar EVER besides Taylor Swift. 

 

Now with that said I am embarrassed that YA YA is stuck at 76 million streams. It had an Olympics commercial on opening night, was the most viral moment of the tour, and a clear fan favorite yet Thique outstreamed and mind you All Up In Your Mind is also stuck at 76 million.

So calm down Hive. After this Act 3 mess is over, electronic is clearly her calling.

after the trilogy she's entering her legacy act phase with her making music only she likes and not the GP

 

it's gonna be a return to R&B forever

act lll needs bey with blood red hair 

rocking only black fits

sis needs to give darksided diva

Spoiler

i actually dreamt a couple of days ago that she announced act iii

In a cute world, Bey would perform her own TinyDesk and would include a cover of Olivia Deans "Man I Need" or "Nice to Each Other" and completely anihilate that cover

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't think Tiny Desk has enough reverb for Beyonce, she loves her reverb, and that room just eats it up - despite that, of course she would still be the best that program has had, of course.

When I hear legacy in regards to Beyoncé, I hope she revisits that shelved Fela Kuti album, spruces it up as only she knows how, and releases it: a companion score to a Fela Kuti biopic/documentary would be ideal as expectations are lowered and she wouldn't have to advertise vinyls/CDs beforehand. 

 

Also, as crazy as some of the Black Gospel genre has been to Beyoncé (accusations of witchcraft, Illuminati, selling her soul), all of the big artists love her: Mary Mary, Donnie McClurkin, Shirley Caesar, Kirk Franklin, Tamela Mann, The Clark Sisters.... you name it. Maybe she can repackage "The Fighting Temptations" soundtrack into a 30-year Anniversary Expanded Edition with a bunch of new gospel collabs, the four songs in the film that didn't make the original soundtrack*, a vinyl release, etc.

I see what u mean, but then i think of how her voice soared in that hospital and i realize that Bey will sound gorgeous no matter what. She can project her voice like no one else i know. A true top-tier vocalist. A setting like TinyDesk would allow her to flex her vocals once more and just gag a lot of naysayers who keep dismissing how insane she actually is.

You know what? I can definitely see this coming, we're already in the tranches so I'll keep my hopes up once again

 

And the IG post of her wearing red.. she's not slick

Blow is a bop.

Why can't she announce visuals instead?

I feel like she's done with the ERA as evidenced by her latest photos.  She's country free 

not seeing her in cowboy drag after 2 years is so refreshing, it feels good to be alive indeed

I dunno… these pics were also taken and uploaded during the cowboy Carter era:

 

 

she's not been cosplaying as relentlessly as we might think. 

 

until she officially launches a distinct new aesthetic, we're still in act ii.

 

and even then, she debuted her cowboy Carter hair at the Renaissance premiere. There can be crossover and blending between trilogy acts. 
 

point being, just because she looks hot and honey blonde doesn't mean we're definitely not getting a live cowboy Carter project

go show becky some love, this is her first time listening to bey and she didn't expect to like it this much (because, and i quote, she thought beyoncé was mostly just upbeat, very poppy stuff ). she also didn't know any of the songs not named crazy in love nnn

 

 

but she loved speechless so she gets a point for that

I don't trust her. I'm sure she'll start making faces when Beyoncé goes #black. Her reactions felt forced. Very buzz feed "Queen bae is better than the Beatles and this is why!"

Anyways, I left Twitter. Is there any tea on if she's going to attend the Emmy's and take a picture with the host of Survivor Jeff Probst tonight?

Yes? No? Maybe?
