Cleanromantic Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 These are great numbers for anyone regardless of the fact that she's 25 years into her career and she's still to do any promo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovett Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 With only a 27.6% drop on US Spotify, hopefully the predictions will increase. It's serving great stability so far, I hope it maintains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuusLima Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 tbh I don’t think that this album will sell less than “4”, maybe she could do something between 350k - 400k with vinyl and pre-orders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeemoR Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 4 hours ago, Rotunda said: Don’t lie. This is more than Ariana did with Positions, more than Billie did with Happier Than Ever, more than Gaga did with Chromatica (and bundles). No woman except for Adele and Taylor are passing this number - and it’s cause they’re in a league of their own. Even some prominent men (Ed, Justin) aren’t seeing numbers close to it. Feel free to join us in reality when you get a chance. Nobody realistically thinks Bey is commercially bigger than Taylor/Adele, stop lying . We all saw how 25 vs. Lemonade played out, and we all saw how Taylor’s been able to dominate the chart with old ass songs. They’re untouchable. If Bey is doing better than any woman in the game sans 2 artists then I think she’s performing as expected. This is more than Chromatica (jockstraps and delayed tour tickets included) The jockstraps argument is all you guys have left at this point lol. OT: Low numbers, as expected given so many underperforming eras/singles since Lemonade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronelmaano13 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 No fraudulent tour bundles. She's still at the top 25 years into her career. Some popstars only last 4 years before they become irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: Low numbers, as expected given so many underperforming eras/singles since Lemonade. Obviously you’re bad at math so I’ll explain it for you again. Renaissance is projected to outsell Chromatica period. No excuses or caveats needed. For added context however, Chromatica had bundles. Therefore, Renaissance (which has no bundles) is outselling an album that has bundles… Even if we pretend that Chromatica had no bundles, it’s still getting outsold. Beyond that, BMS is projected to hit #1, and all Renaissance songs are projected to chart. The only people that are holding on to old drags are Bey haters, so enjoy the last week of those.

Theshigo Washidu Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 12 hours ago, PrudenceHCharmed said: Didn't y'all drag her enough after The Gift and Everything In Love? Also, she did more than streaming monster Billie, Ariana and Drake, did she not? Especially considering she's coming off a flop era? I remember HDDs prediction thread for Drake is almost cricket and y'all defend him too for his abysmal numbers. Adele and Taylor always have higher pure sales anyways, doubling Beyoncé's numbers so why is this shocking? And both of these artists at least make an effort to promote their albums and songs on televised performances. She could've been blocked by Bad Bunny who's 20 years younger but she did not. And why are y'all celebrating when the official number isn't even out? HDD could've been wrong (again) and the visual may be coming too. To be fair, Drake's latest release came out hours after he announced it with no single to push it first. Similar to CLB (which opened with 613k) from last year except that he announced CLB's release date about 5-7 days before. He's a streaming artist but his latest release was also critically panned and he never acknowledged it again after the Falling Back video. Obviously it's early days with Renaissance and the final numbers should be waited for, but the crux of the issue is that with the media hype and support Bey gets, the predictions should be a bit higher, that's all. She didn't surprise release this one and instead gave people one month notice. Is it bad to say, maybe 400k would have been doable for her? She may not promote, but she's not some obscure, indie artist either that people wouldn't know that she is releasing. Personally I'm not celebrating anything, neither did I "drag" her for EIL or The Gift sales (that I even defended given that it was an Afrobeat project and Afrobeats wasn't too globally big as it is now), it's just that there can be some pick-and-choosing and signs of hypocrisy when it comes to sales and depending on whether the artist is liked or not.

A bunch of random cultural critics from Vulture, AV Club, or Pitchfork making articles does not translate to 100k+ in sales. It just doesn’t. If you’re annoyed that people call her Queen Bey when she isn’t the top selling woman then fine, but critical acclaim, cultural relevance and reverence do not directly translate into commercial sales. Many of the legends were never the biggest sellers. Acting like it’s underwhelming for a 40 year old woman who’s been in the game for over 20 years to outdo everyone but 2-3 other women (none of which whom share her racial background, core genre, or tenure in the industry) is ludicrous. It literally requires the ultimate spin to think something isn’t adding up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
