Gagas Chromatica - 3.1m WW

Is this the last week you can thread this?

Not you sneaking Gaga in there…

Ren was a hit. Could be a bit higher if visuals were release or she put in literally any effort to pad the era outside of some random remixes and radio push.

And this despite all the money spend on payola 

Cuff it is still on TTH while not even charting on Spotify global  

No it's not. Unless you mean another TTH? I don't use Spotify but it's not on this playlist.

Not enough Coco Canail

No it's already done. When you include pure sales which are missing.

Literally nothing. It's certified platinum, it has a tour thats likely gonna gross 500-600M worldwide, it has a No.1 single and another WW smash hit. ALL 25 YEARS INTO HER CAREER AND WITH NO PROMO WHATSOEVER.

 

You can't and never will spin this into it being a flop or an underperformance. Beyoncé won and she will continue to win. 

Facts. You can tell this person isn't a Taylor Swift fan, Taylor has so much going on right now and you're worried about a woman late in her career having fun and creating records for her fans?

Compare Renaissance to the last albums of other people who debuted 20+ years ago and it's even more impressive.

 

What's embarrassing is compared to Gaga's last album -- someone who debuted in 2008 mind you -- it's already overtaking it in less than a year with no music videos, no televised performances, no mainstream collabs, nothing. Bey just did an IG post and went about her life and is still doing this well.

Its at 3M, "Cuff It" was a big hit for her and could end up as a classic in her discography + shes currently on a huge tour. I'd say alot went right. Also, no one ever called Sour a flop. Just lying for no reason.

But what about Beyoncé's last ten years implies she truly cares about this?

 

Beyoncé has largely operated in a "if you know you know" style of marketing wherein the connection people have to her music is informed more by personal opinions than having the songs drilled into your consciousness through a rigorous promotional campaign. What this achieves is a cult-like adoration for her work. This may mean lower streaming numbers, but also puts a larger focus on the artistry itself, not its commercial appeal.

 

And still, RENAISSNACE is a #1 album with a #1 hit, a massively steady follow-up hit, major acclaim, over a billion streams and a hit tour.

Can someone update me on the monster's obsession with Beyonce? What's the origin story? Why are they hiding behind Taylor? We need a story board thread with how all these things started. Because none of the MPG are threat to each other

It isn't for you? That's quiet interesting, because she appears for me between Nonsense and Here with me, close to the bottom of the list.

Oh, I see it now. I'm pretty sure I didn't just overlook it because I both scanned the list and did a search on the page for it, and then even tested searching for "Olivia" to ensure that the search-on-page function was working correctly. Not sure if it was a glitch / oversight on my side or it just updated for me, but either way I am corrected. Thanks!

Maybe you should focus on artists you like and use your brain capacity to store information about them instead of Beyoncé, who I don’t think I’ve seen you say one positive thing about. Give it up.

Not releasing the videos

Everything went right but we still need the visuals 

Nothing it’s incredible how far into her career this album took her on the best stadium tour this decade with not even any visuals not everyone has that

I would tell you to worry about your fave, but you’d be bored!

Did it do worse than Lemonade? Because this album is better

I stopped reading at "heavy promotion" lmao

The album is sitting at around 3million units worldwide, currently outsold by the likes of competitors and some other artists that the Hive deem to be flops (Rihannas Anti - 11m WW. Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour - 4.5m WW. Gagas Chromatica - 3.1m WW, to name a few) despite heavy promotion, a worldwide tour to promote it, and a rigorous push by radio stations.

 

The album failed to live up to her previous success, why is this? Is the GP over her? Is America still sleeping? 

Wait I didn't catch that you're comparing the total sales of an album that is less than a year old to ones that at the least is over two, and at most, over seven.

 

Why?

Okay, then shall we compare it to midnights?
