How did Lemonade become Beyoncé's most unpopular album (outstreamed by ARTPOP)?

[Born to Run]

Lemonade:

- The best-selling album of 2016, according to IFPI

- first female to cross 100M streams in a week (without Spotify)

- won more than 100 awards including almost unique honors for female singers such as GRAND PRIX LION by Cannes Festival, PEABODY, CLIO and GOLD PENCIL

- won 2 Grammys, 10 BET, 8 VMAs, 5 NAACP, 5 Billboard Music, 4 Soul Train and 1 BRIT Award

- #10 on the Apple Music 100 Best Albums list

- #32 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list

 

ARTPOP:

- features guest vocals from T.I., Too Short, Twista, and R. Kelly

 

 

How did we allow this to happen?

Have you taken a look at what's dominating charts these days? The GP has lost taste and sense of adventure. They are big ass FLOPS

Is this a setup thread to get disease dragged?

Because ARTPOP is miles better  

[Trent W]

I still love Lemonade, but the album is just too 2016

 

And also the film and controversies overshadowed the music

 

And the cherry on top is that with so much social justice fatigue in the GP not many people want to go back to an album dedicated to that

 

Honestly being outstremed by Artpop is really bad

Because it was never that big outside the US

[GraceRandolph]

Because ARTPOP has G.U.Y. 

 

[Prodigal Self]

Because she withheld it from Spotify for years and ruined her relationship with them with tidal shenanigans  Like was it not obvious to you?

The album doesn't work as well without the film. Musically, it is weaker and only a mid-tier Bey album. Had it not had the controversies and film it probably wouldn't have done that well.

Disease is gonna outstream Cowboy Carter (album) at any minute...

ARTPOP mention aside...

 

It aged poorly for me. The film is fantastic, and the music works well in the context of the film, but it has probably dropped to my third least favorite Beyonce album. I just never have desire to revisit it. Even my best friend who would die for Beyonce is no longer a fan of it. But it's still an important piece of her artistic journey.

ARTpop is just better

[Blade Runner]

She's just endless PR. Her stats are pathetic. 

 

Like how is the whole of RENAISSANCE being outsreamed by Poker Face?

Low key weirder Disease is outstreaming Renaissance, since Renaissance is relatively new and the tour barely just ended.

She's in the top ten most streamed women on Spotify of all time.

Her stats are pathetic. 

She's the 8th most streamed female artist of all time (on spotify)   that's not pathetic for someone who debuted in the Clinton era.
