Radical Optimism surpasses Cowboy Carter in Spotify total streams. What happened?

[TayDuaStan]

Radical Optimism: 1.549 Billion streams

Cowboy Carter: 1.548 Billion streams

But I thought RO was an abysmal flop & CC was AOTY. What happened? 

[Popboi.]

Houdini will peak in January, ATRL never said of which year

[Bloodflowers.]

Wow, she did that with only 11 tracks too?

[vuelve88]

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

Talent won 

[Mordecai]

Because people stopped lying to themselves and admitted that RO is a good album

Pop star's 3rd album outstreaming another pop star's 8th album.....what an achievement

[EnigmaticAndroid]

Oh Duallah

 Were you really sitting at your computer waiting for the Spotify ticker to cross that exact number so you could make this thread?

 

Anyway I'm glad Dua (7 year into her career) album finally managed to outstream Beyoncé (28 years into her career) album after 9 months.

No. Just saw the DuaLipaHungary post

More people spent MONEY on CC. That's what happened.

 

Also, Dua Lipa's first 2 albums surpassed 10 billion streams. This is her 3rd album. Bey's 3rd album was IASF, which became her biggest album to date.

 

You tried. Try harder.

Now compare how many times each artist performed songs from the albums and released music videos as promotion. 

[l3disko]

wow, Dua's "flop" album did that with 16 less tracks. 

 

27 tracks is like 2 albums worth of songs (Compared to Dua's 11), almost as if RO was out streaming 2 new Beyonce albums.

Damn, when you put it like that...Miss Dua stays winning. Suddenly I love Radioactive Opium! 

[Blade Runner]

Mind you RO indeed is like the biggest flop ever. Beyonce's PR machine is CRAZY. 

[Kyoto]

Beyoncé is a LEGEND. Dua Lipa is just another girl that got luck with some hits.

[By the Water]

The Hive will write you an essay about how incredible Beyoncé's music is but will refuse to actually listen to it

[Katamari]

comparing a 2010s artist 3rd album to a 90s artist 1001 album

 

ok 

 

yall are not beating those allegations

[FrederickGa]

because Beyonce's numbers are always mehhh considering how twas projected by MEDIA as some sort of second coming of Christ or soemthng

[TeemoR]

To be honest, Dua Lipa barely surpassing Beyonce who usually flops in streaming is not a big achievement
