I stopped reading at "heavy promotion" lmao

Well I don't know about you but when I saw her perform BREAK MY SOUL at the BET Awards I was sold, I immediately bought three copies, and pre-ordered the album. Then, when she dropped the visuals on release week I couldn't stop playing the album, and though I took a break for about a week from it, when she performed that medley at the VMAs, I had to buy a vinyl. And later when CUFF IT was being promoted and she appeared on morning talk shows to catch the GP, I finally became obsessed with the track, and was so excited when she released the remix and its associated music video in the fall. I expected her to perform at the Grammys, and was not disappointed. Her performance was amazing, and me and all my friends didn't stop streaming the album. There was just so much great, heavy promo!!!

quite literally nothing

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? 

Renaissance is about to outstream chromaticas 3 year total in a year. I think the better question is what went wrong to where you have to hide behind a taylor swift avi to avoid people associating you with your own fave on an Internet forum?

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

He lies all the time.

Lol nothing

Not OP comparing Renaissance's less than 1 year total units to albums that are anywhere from 2-7 years old with higher sps over time. 

 

Yall need help. Bey is 40 and isn't campaigning for streams and chart success. 

Threads like this are so unserious 

What went wrong is that she didn't release music bad enough for her to not smash so some Monsters are scrambling. 

Why is it comparing album sales of albums 3-7 years older as if it will Sit at ~3.5m forever? It’s among the top 5 best selling albums of 2022. Beyoncé has always been among the top 5 best selling albums of the year for almost every solo release for the last 20 years. (BDay being top 10 in 2006).. most MPGs can’t relate.

Nothing went wrong. She’s literally set to have one of the biggest tours in history.

Too many things

Album being full of RuPaul tracks being the first

 

not rupaul tracks

 

the album just sucks and everyone is over beyonce.

The album is good

 

The way she did anything in 2022 to promote, no videos was a big let down, no Award performances 

 

 

She gave us minimum for this era 

Nothing. It’s still pulling a good number of daily streams while the tour is continuing to smash and sell well. But I guess I’d be mad too if my fave dropped an instantly forgettable dance album to purse an equally forgettable career in acting

Say it again without crying 

Lack of good music =/

Annoying pandering songs like BMS and rip-offs of Levitating like Cuff It. As well as her over reliance on sampling.

an over 3 year old album selling as much as a barely 1 year old one… is "outsold" in the room with us ? 

 

 

"heavy promotion"  

 

OBH really live in an alternate dimension where we got plenty of tv performances, visuals and interviews over the past year instead of getting : nothing 

Gaga already did house music more effectively with Chromatica! (Beyoncé tried to copy her by snatching her producers, but the result wasn't as effective!)
