Easy on me and SL are both terrible songs

Yet EOM outsold, and will be remembered as one of the good features of Adele’s discography. 11 weeks at number this decade, 13 if it wasn’t for Godriah, not everyone has that.

Easy on Me is kinda MEH, but it's HUGE debut numbers show there was true hype for Adele's first lead single in 5 years! Beyoncé should have made at least HALF of what Adele made after a 6 year studio album hiatus. 

 

Stupid Love is one of Gaga's worst songs... and it only did 20% worse than BMS 

 

BMS is not a one of B’s best either. Adele is a whole different story. Easy on me is really not listenable to me while BMS is

[Donquizote]

This is a rude awakening for Beyonce and  her stans. Her god complex who thinks that the world will stop when she releases something is no longer applied. The GP has moved on.

 

 

No matter how her stans are trying to spin, the numbers are not that good. It's already free falling on itunes and apple music too.

She's not Adele or Taylor who doesn't need promos to get a hit. She wants a hit and she needs to properly do a promo like the rest of other pop girls.

It still is not a good song sis. It puts me to sleep. If she debuted with something like that, it would have flopped

You’re here to act native and be a contrarian, and I refuse to play your game. 
 

The fact is, Beyoncé’s god complex has been her biggest downfall. When she doesn’t live up to the “King B” status, it is easier to drag her. That is a fact. 
 

You’re acting like she’s Mariah and coming off of 4-5 flop studio albums. Her last album was a AOTY nominee, hurrahed by many, the most praised in her 25-year long career according to you all, and it accompanied a massive tour. So let’s not act like there wasn’t much anticipation for Beyonce. Comparing “the queen” to Gaga is child’s play. 

 

So….you admit that Beyonce isn’t the giant flop that you’re painting her out to be, just because she didn’t meet the standards nobody but you said she had? You’re confusing sis, and you spending this much time foaming at the mouth over an artist you hate is weird, please for your mental health, get a life. 
 

Anyway: 

Something that might meet your insanely high standards you have for her

That’s literally all we are saying. I couldn’t give a damn about SL.

I don’t live in Brazilian and couldn’t careless about their charts. 
 

You’re too busy with your stan cap on, ducking and dodging the truth, and assuming that I am out to get Beyonce. I’ll let the facts speak for themselves.

But somehow Hives are trying to argue these are great numbers FOR Beyoncé...

 

No, they aren't. She's being put on a pedestal as the KING of the music industry, and she can only get 20% more than Gaga's worst lead single?

 

A random song by Taylor apparently got 4.2M streams, and this is the best the KING can do after a 6 year solo album hiatus? It's really disappointing, but I'm not surprised. The song is awful. I'd be happy if the song was underperforming if it was good at least, but it isn't. It's the worst single Beyoncé's ever released.

No matter how you slice and dice it, B still outsold Gaga. Stay mad

It’s #4 on the biggest streaming service in the United States…for a song released on a Tuesday. I get it Amber heard Stan, you don’t like to use logic, but once again, you fail to do just that

There’s a whole world outside of the United States, I guess having success outside of the us is a bad thing in your book? Make it make sense (and also get a life)

This!

I’d like to see the posts where any of the hive said they were expecting it to do half, or anywhere near Easy On Me. @NausAllien would you care to show us please?

Huh? I take it you’re not a fan of ballads judging by who you stan. Adele has always been a ballad singer. So if you don’t like her offering, doesn’t make it bad. It’s just not your cup of tea. You all need to learn that. Moreover, any emotional song that makes someone cry (male or woman), is a good song. It means that the intended audience connected with the song. I learned that in songwriting years ago. 

 

Beyonce doesn’t have the vocal ability nor the believability to release an EOM. Her ballads are her weakest offerings, but I digress.

All these users voted it'd debut with more than 9 million streams:

 

Are there no Hive members amongst those? I know @manwhore is one for sure.

Most of Gaga’s leads are bad. Lol 

 

Gaga and Bey are more similar than comparing her to Adele and Taylor. They don’t play it safe unlike the other 2. 
 

Funny how she is being compared to them 2 and not her actual peers who couldn’t get even half those streams if they tried.

OT: cute numbers for her standards  I’m proud of her

Well Beyonce already has a #1 single that charted for at least 10 weeks. 2 actually when you count DC. She is the female artist with the 3rd most weeks at #1 for singles as well.

So congrats. But Bey isn't competing with anyone at this point. The girls have had so much success during their respective years while Bey is still HERE. 25 years now. 20 solo. 

[Tistotal]

I'm so confused, since when 5.14M is the same as 4.2M. Y'all are ridiculous 

Excelent numbers for Bey.

Adele doesn't even have the vocal ability to sing her own songs. Hence why she can't show up on that stage to SING after 12 years of a career.

 

Beyonce can do Adele’s songs no question. Could Adele do Beyonce's? And none of that subjective "tone", "soul" and "emotion" b.s applies here. Can she or can she not?

Taylor Swift's solo career started 16 years ago and a random song that wasn't even a proper single almost outstreams Beyoncé's highly anticipated first lead single since 2016... 

 

I guess this is what happens when you release a Chromatica b-side...

 

[Mr. Specialist]

I can’t believe this thread is already 20 pages long. A lot of y’all are surely paying attention hard to an artist who y’all claim is irrelevant, washed, and over. Y’all have been perched for days. The jokes write themselves. Try all you want to convince yourselves these numbers aren’t great for an artist who has been in the industry for 25+ years. You’re only fooling yourselves.

[ScarletWitch]

These are actually horrible numbers coming off Lemonade  

It only did more than Stupid Love (considering that it leaked 5 weeks prior with way 25% less playlisting), did way less than Willow and Easy On Me
