Renaissance having more streams than Endless Summer Vacation is legit shocking the way ATRL disparages Beyoncé   

[MALAMENTE]

Is there something written or just photos?

[Solaria]

Future Nostalgia will be a classic album at the end of the 2020s decade 

[Jjang]

SOS coming for the top 3 and potentially #1 with the deluxe 

[satellites.™]

Not gonna lie, the way this forum talks I half expected Taylor to be the Top 5 albums.

[SlowGinFizzzz]

Dua Lipa 

Beyoncé 

Ava Max

Oops sorry. Can it be seen now?

[Moonlight Nation]

Great achievements across the board, but I'd like to highlight "SOUR" being the second most streamed (and 8th of all time on the platform) with only 11 tracks, no features, no deluxe, and no post-release remixes. 

 

What an iconic debut! The widespread popularity of many of the deep cuts reminds me of fellow half-Filipino talent Bruno Mars, whose debut "Doo W0ps & Hooligans" is also filled with album tracks that feel as popular as the singles in hindsight.

 

I felt "GUTS" was incredible too despite it not reaching the same commercial heights, but I'm sure time will do it justice.

I think GUTS will be benefited A LOT with the tour tbh even if it doesn’t snatch more hits the streams will be very high and consistent and she will end up being well despite not met the SOUR heights -who are so high and enormous to reach btw so it’s fine-

21. RENAISSANCE

48. PF2 

 

 

 

It's a major bomb by Nicki Minaj  plus her 2018 album Queen is doing slightly more streams than The Gift and Homecoming.

There were countless threads about Renaissance being a flop/underperformance for someone of Beyoncé’s stature, yet it out streamed an album with the number 1 song of last year

Olivia needs more content to compete.....

"traitor", "favorite crime, "jealousy, jealousy"... you'll always be famous 

 

Their performances being among the highlights of the tour definitely help! Missing my underrated girl "enough for you", though! 

 

That being said, it is odd that "GUTS" outside the singles + "all-american *****" isn't getting as strong a boost based on these numbers. Guess we'll have to wait and see, but the ongoing tour alongside the deluxe should help give it some overdue renewed attention.
