Bears01 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 4 is the only album of hers that didn’t perform that good for the era in which it was released. Overtime, it did decent on streaming, but it’s the only album of hers that didn’t go multi platinum in pure sales/units in the U.S. An argument could be made that Lemonade is her least memorable album among the GP and had the worst longevity, but it absolutely smashed in 2016 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Rose Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I’m honestly not sure but 4 underperformed but thanks to streaming got the last laugh. Lemonade smashed but was withheld from streaming so it’s kinda the reverse. what a flawless discography tho when you put it all next to each other. we are so lucky 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade just kinda became forgotten by the GP the moment the 2017 Grammys ended. That’s why I voted 4 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatyPrismSpirit Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I believe it's 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sis, it’s spotify streams are terrible Even now when she’s touring, it’s struggling to pull 500,000 streams per day. The GP doesn’t care for useless arguments pertaining to it like “impact”. They just don’t care to listen to it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armani? Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 It's in between 4 & Lemonade But Lemonade has a WW Tour, so I guess 4. That said, 4 is still 4X Platinum so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talento Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 Not 4 winning when Love On Top is one of her biggest classics Even RTW and Best Thing I Never Had are lowkey GeePee darlings I fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears01 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Just now, Wewee said: Renaissance Renaissance has: consistent streams, a legit streaming hit, and has had great longevity on the charts, on top of an absolutely massive tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgos Groove Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 This is actually so hard. 4's singles underperformed, but its longevity was so impressive that it's close to ST in CSPC units. Lemonade's streaming recurrents are weak, but it was one of the biggest albums of 2016. If we're going purely by units, Renaissance is, but it still produced a #1 and a top-10 hit, as well as a massive stadium tour. I genuinely can't choose.

Bussea Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 4, sadly. It’s unfortunate bc it’s one of her best albums along with ST. Should’ve been I Am… Sasha’s Feces 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erreur2 La Nature Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 It's a tie between 4 and Lemonade. 4 kinda flopped at the time and Lemonade was mainly a US thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsouko Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Lemonade because she sabotaged it. She saw to it that that album had no legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t see it as an album that would do that great on streaming. Other than “Hold up” and “formation” (because she performed it at the superbowl). It doesn’t have great replay value for an album in the streaming era. It kinda worked out for her because it did up selling great right before album sales essentially died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feanor Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) 'Lemonade'. 'RENAISSANCE' technically has less units right now, but it'll 100% end up bigger in the long-term. Edit: Also screaming at the misspelling of 'RENAISSANCE' in the OP image… Edited September 9, 2023 by Feanor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 It's Lemonade. Front loaded and did not stand the test of time by her own doing. Poor recurrent streams on Spotify, poor radio play, poor playlisting. The only way to listen to it for years was by purchasing a $18 album or having a Tidal subscription. By the looks of it, Lemmy will never pass 4 in streams despite being closer to the streaming era and 4/IASF are the music referenced when the locals say they "miss her old music".

wowsignal14 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 the people saying 4 are delusional. yes it came after IASF and its singles did not have great peaks, but it has two of her most recognizable songs globally "love on top" and "run the world". it's actually neck in neck with self titled in EAS (~10m) Lemonade as iconic as it is, is a non event outside of the anglosphere, its songs have terrible recurrent sales/streams. and none of the songs on it are hits. Formation had the potential but it was ruined by bey herself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
