It’s sad that yall still feel like you need to compare women to each other. Let’s look at the men in the industry - Drake, Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Kendrick. All are allowed to be simultaneously successful. Nobody compares them to each other. But yall feel like out of Ariana, Gaga, Beyoncé, Taylor etc., “there can only be one supreme!!” and you have to criticise one just to uplift another. And these ladies are well aware that this is what yall are like too which is why they all pay their fans dust these days.

 

If you can’t just say “congratulations” and go, you need to ask yourself why.

Outstreamed Smile at least

I read a few more pages from this thread...   wow 

 

The Obsessed Gaga Worshipers (OGWs) are truly toxic and delusional. I'm surprised most are not banned, they contribute nothing. They did set themselves up though for when first week numbers come out

Good numbers

[luckythisway]

I’m sorry but this is a complete bomb. If Gaga did Bey’s numbers & vice versa, the narrative here would be MUCH different

Meltdown?   

 

Delulu observation and response from you

[liquiddiamonds]

ugh these numbers are GREAT, regardless if you place bey as a 90s artist or an early-00s one. the fact people can only mention taylor, rihanna and shakira as possible peers and that’s supposed to be a drag. these are 4 people in an industry of thousands. these 5 saw people come and go and are still standing toe-to-toe with the newbies. if that’s not legend behavior…. 
 

as far as the 90s go, in truth only Eminem has the same pull as Bey in the american market to attract people in 2022 to check their new material, even outdoing the people they have influenced. that’s ******* remarkable

 

L*d* G*g* is also a legend in the making. She’s outlasting everyone that debuted around her era too. These two deserve better fan bases because they support the **** out of each other and have influenced each other for years. This is the most random, elderly stan war in the whole ass internet. At least britney vs xtina MADE sense because they hated each other at a point lol

Cute debut, smashing on AM.

[genio]

Those are good numbers. Let's not forget she's smashing on AM as well and still hasn't released any visuals.

 

US Spotify numbers are extremely fantastic.

Good thing Spotify isn’t the end all be all for the commercial performance of this album. 

[illia]

I expected more but the numbers are still fine

chromatica did 34M without the ariana and blackpink tracks

 

OT: amazing debut

Pfffft not this argument

 

Let's take those out and follow your logic =  No BP/Arian = 11 tracks 34M = average (3 mil per song)

 

REN = 43.25 / 16 average 2.7mil per song (times 11 = 29M)

 

Still less  

 

But regardless, well done Beyonce, both ladies did well but the hypocrisy of the Beyonce stans (and ones that hide behind her) that came for Chromatica in 2020  

 

 

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

Wow, it's so disappointing  

 

Not The Hive desperately trying to make us think these are good numbers.

 

WOW @ Bey doing less than a certain artist who's currently touring. 

 

So bad

Typical OGW behavior, going into people's posting history to attack them instead of sticking to the thread's topic  my response to the OGW, if you have time to read people's old posts on atrl.net, then sounds like your life is lacking if you have time to waste like that  I stand by all my posts - past, present, and future

This will be the last response you get from me in this thread, this thread is about celebrating RENAISSANCE's great first day numbers. 

 

Beyoncé accomplished this without promo, videos, or trendy features. Something most artists could never pull off

 

Congrats Beyhive on this victory

Exactly, especially when a winner was declared many many years ago. RENAISSANCE solidifies that  

 

First week's numbers will be exciting. This release will improve Beyoncé's overall streaming numbers.

43M under no circumstances is a "complete bomb". Certainly not for a 40 year old woman.  If you want to attempt to formulate an argument that it's an under-performance, by all means. But this is higher first day streams than Billie, Doja and Ariana (with Sweetener) had. Nobody considers the performance of those albums a 'complete bomb'.

 

The dramatics are wildly unnecessary, especially because the numbers between those two artists are extremely close. Not to mention the utter domination Beyoncé's currently showcasing on Apple Music.

[Hector]

Just dropping this here:

 

 

[Pheromosa]

yall do too much over free streams 

[Aethereal]

I expected 250K SPS for the first week. Those numbers are not great but they are not horrible either. The symptoms of the overall album with the lead single have been there though. 

[Comedor]

Solid debut and around expected. Most predictions I saw had it around 40-50m.

 

Do we have the split for each song? Do we usually get that sort of data? I’m curious about what songs are GP favorites. 

[Darkgalord]

Bey has inserted her name into huge streaming hits such as Perfect, Savage remix , Mi Gente. Etc.

I really don't understand why the hive are now looking down on collabs when Bey has benefited a lot from collaborations with big streaming artists. 

why are they shading ROM and SC  

Gaga herself  wrote and worked on these songs.

These numbers are fine but we were expecting more tbh.

AM Numbers are amazing. Since 4 that’s Bey’s audience and they made sure to make that album a sleeper hit when the yts dropped her from top 40. She’s doin great and first week numbers with physicals will be nothing to look down to. Cant wait for the next chapters, especially if they’re other genres. She’s flexing and showing range with this project.
