How is that low? 

 

It will be at 1.5M by June

[Hector]

Cuff It biggest hit from the era confirmed

[PrettyHurts]

achieved with no visuals or performances 

[Hallad173]

Disappointed with the album figure,  but it’s to be expected. 

[fememeist]

Kinda expected 2M at least :/

[Katamari]

No shade cuz I love Bey but BMS lack of longevity is kind a mess. It’s serving HIAM lowkey

 

 

[FightForTanas]

If she lifted a single TOE to promote the album it could have been above 1.5 million already.

In the same amount of time Chromatica was at 800k (HDD 2020 year end). So this is pretty good. 2m is possible for Bey this year if she continues the era w/ another single, releases visuals, and because of the tour.

Which there will be none of so I don’t even know why we’re highlighting it.

 

 

OT: The album figure is perfectly fine for an era that hasn’t been promoted beyond two VOGUE magazine shoots, a few private ‘Club Renaissance’ parties and a Grammy appearance.

Good numbers taking everything into account

BMS being almost double platinum? ATRL's lies exposed once again.

[Timeless]

Cuff It, the best song on the album did THAT The album itself deserves better though.

Is being almost 2×plat in the US enough to be called a global smash hit? There are many songs with more units that are deemed as flops here.

At what point in my comment did I mention "global smash hit"?

A two week #1 being at ~1.8m 10 months after release is a clear underperformance Gaga's Stupid Love reached ~1.5m during the same period and its widely considered a major flop.

A song that ATRL routinely states only achieved its #1 position because of "radio payola" is almost double platinum. In no way is that an under-performance, no matter how much you want to spin it.

Not you but that's what I have seen a lot of Beyonce fans claim BMS is.

Compare it to EVERY other #1 from any other year, including 2022, and its clearly at the BOTTOM when it comes to units, how is that NOT an underperformance?  

 

And even worse, when it comes to singles that spent multiple weeks at #1, then it goes down in history as one of the worst performing ones

So it's an under-performance for an artist who ATRL has claimed hasn't been able to sell singles in well over a decade?  No matter how you spin it, a song being nearly double-platinum after being claimed that it only achieved its performance due to "radio payola" isn't an under-performance. But I appreciate your concern.

Nobody cares boo, BMS was a major success and your comments won’t change this fact. The fact that she can reach these figures 25 years into her career and with literally 0 promotion is crazy. You are not changing anybody’s mind sorry

[littlebodybigheart]

them numbers are mediocre and that’s okay. the behive needs to stop the cap.

Stupid Love was at 1.5 Million 29 months after release....

 

It moved 500k units between late September 2020 & late July 2022. That's under 800k streams a week & that average is even lower now@MrLovett

 Why am I not surprised?

[BnPac]

I wonder if the album can go 4*platinum in the long run. Even 4 did it.

The way she’s treating this era is a damn mess.

That 1m figure does not include YouTube and its 7 months after release, not 10 months as I've specified

 

And even if you are right, what does SL not reaching 1.5m 10 months in its chart run, have to do with BMS being an underperformance?  the fact that you are pulling out receipts to showcase SL - a known flop, being a flop is in order to make BSM chart run better, is speaking VOLUMES

You made up figures for a (now exposed as false) comparison and now you're trying to act like a victim because @Armani? clocked you?  Girl.
