The UK choosing basic generic oontz oontz music over Beyonce... I've had ENOUGH 

[BnPac]

Ugh. 

 

Still great.

And a big applause to the UK Hive. 

[Lovett]

A huge achievement!  It's a shame it didn't snag the #1, like it's predicted to do in the US, but a very respectable peak nonetheless!

[Armani?]

What are the units?

[Riot]

Her first top 3 hit since Best Thing I Never Had (the taste that the Brits displayed here)

[WildAmerican]

i thought it was going #1, what happened?

No you didn't, considering the highest it was in the midweeks was #2.

It was #2 in the midweek chart, not sure what you're talking about

Afraid To Feel & Break My Soul are both house songs though?

The fact that as soon she went back to more poppish songs the public was here for her again like no time has passed

Oh wow, didn't know that you held Beyoncé to such a high standard GLOBALLY!

It's a shame that the song had much better stats in the UK since its release compared to the US, but failed to snatch the #1 spot there. Clearly the British GP were here for her in the beginning more than Americans were and I would have loved the chart peaks to reflect that.

When she serves us a “Music” or “Hung Up” on ‘Renaissance Part II’.

 

 

Spoiler

Hopefully Rihanna gives us a Donna Summer-esque “Hot Stuff” or “Bad Girls”.

 

Biiiiiii*ch…

ohh at least the gap wasn't crazy close

 

album units on the other hand are quiet disappointing...

[glamrock<3]

UK Hive only had one job  welp, at least it got to #2... and CUFF IT and Alien Superstar made it in the top 20  I'm more proud of her having the #1 vinyl this week (tbh).

Now that I see it, it is quite underwhelming but at least it went #1 and it's the best selling vinyl this week as well?

Very much! I'll be happy to see it not be #1 anymore
