Anti-Hero has 5 remixes (Bleachers, Roosevelt, Kungs, Jayda G, Illenium), which, funnily enough is the same number that Break My Soul has (will.i.am, Terry Hunter, Honey Dijon, Nita Aviance Club, The Queens). If you're mistaking 10,000 for 5 then I think you need to go back to grade school.

No you

Why? One is a white singer with a rehashed pop album, teen fanbase and Tik Tok-viral lyrics while the other one is a WOC with a much more experimental record who has chosen to not promote it at all, as of now. Tells you all that you have to know, ya know?

lots of reasons, lack of taste being the main one

Cuff It has been smashing on the radio so if she wants to make a GP friendly song, SHE CAN. She just chooses not to

and its only hurting her.. She is surviving on Spotify only because of her pre-2010 hits.. Lemonade combined is getting less streams than Gaga's Judas everyday.. It really sucks to see her do so bad on Spotify. She will be forgotten very quickly if she doesn't switch back to gp friendly songs. Cuff it is also a hit only due to tik tok.

Y'all know damn well Renaissance is flopping all because of Beyonce herself, the ***** refuses to promote her album.

 

You honestly mean to tell me Taylor is doing the numbers she's doing without the obvious marketing appeal and advertising she's been doing for the past 17 years of her career? Outside of folkmore when did she ever not have a promo rollout? 

 

Beyonce just doesn't give a **** the girl was snatching Top 10 hits 10 years before Taylor even came onto the scene sit down.

Tik Tok is a main catalyst for hit songs now...So even if it was just a hit because of Tik Tok, that's because it has adjusted to the current settings of the music industry. So even if the song came out in 2012, it would've been a hit but for the different reasons 

 

Bey is in a place in her career where she doesn't care about the numbers anymore. She is Beyonce and can do whatever she wants. That's why she is doing her own thing while still being able to bag one of the most acclaimed and discussed records of the year  She could be like Taylor and still make rehashed versions of her biggest eras like IASF and BEYONCE but she is treating her era as it's own individualistic portrait, wherein all the control is by the artist and she is the one painting it. She clearly has a vision for this record and we just need to be patient.

Sorry but who was the one who put out 10,000 remixes for their song to stay at top of the charts and release 7 versions of the same album on vinyl?

Break My Soul has as many remixes as Anti-Hero.

What I don’t understand is as to why Beyoncé is unable to chart multiple albums from her catalogue? The factual stats and chart observations don’t align with her fan proclaim stats of power, importance and impact. The week that Renaissance debuted it was her only album charting and album debuts is when catalogues re-charts. She is no living legend.  

[chosensparkles]

not one of the most unlikely alliance in the history of stan world shading each other

but trying to pit the Monsters there?...

 

OT: I guess it wasn't the Renaissance everyone was begging for, CUFF IT still bops!

[PoisonedIvy]

Hey now. No need to attack Beyonce or the Hive. Beyonce is still finding success that a lot of women don’t get after 20 years in the industry.

The only difference one was able to sell 300K+ of them in pure sales, the other didn’t come close at all.

Both served different purposes: One was to elevate BMS to the top whereas one was to maintain Anti-Hero's position at the top.

[Pheromosa]

because taylor is white and it's the UK

You spelt MIDnights wrong. Now that is a trash album with lyrics like "karma is a cat sitting on my lap" TF

 

Quote

Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Mm, yummy, yummy, yum, make the bummy heated
Make a pretty girl talk that shitty
Whiskey 'til I'm tipsy, glitter on my kitty (Ooh)
Cool it down, down, down, my pretty
Bad, bad bitchy make the bad ***** glitchy
Fine, fine, fine-fine, fine-fine, fine, fine
Liberated, livin' like we ain't got time
Yadda, yadda, yah, yadda, yadda, yah, yah
Yadda, yadda, yadda, bom, bom, ka, ka
Blastin' on that ass, blast on that ass
Fan me quick, girl, I need my glass
Fan me off, my wrist goes click
Dimples on my hip, stretch marks on my ****
Drinkin' my water, mindin' my biz
Monday, I'm overrated, Tuesday, on my dick
Flip-flop, flippy, flip-floppin'-ass *****
Fan me off, watch my wrist go click
Fan me off, I'm hot, hot, hot

You don’t want to play the lyrics game

why act like Anti-Hero wasn't smashing streaming too? like literally still pushing over 25M US streams on the last weeks whereas Break My Soul peak was like 20M?

Sales =/= Impact. I thought we settled on this eons ago?

And one clearly worked better than the other. Also this thread is about UK, where Anti-Hero never needed the remixes nor had them on her web store or anything.

What might seem like gibberish to you is an ode to the marginalized communities who have appropriated such hyper lyrics in ballroom culture.

Okay so remixes didn't cut it in the UK. Got it. Still doesn't shun the fact that Midnights is a much more promoted project than Renaissance.

[ThisNihilist]

One has to care about sales and promotes aggressively. The other doesn't 

[lcylcy]

Adele and Ed are both equally huge there

So we ain’t surprised they have basic taste

Okay so Anti-Hero already had a greater advantage over BMS in the streaming aspect but she was still using remixes to keep her position?
