Yet here you are celebrating this even tho Gaga debuted more than 10+ years after Beyonce, YET overall she fell of way quicker, cannot compete with Bey unless she collabs with bigger artists and has less successful albums than Bey ever since Fame Monster. How about you just keep it cute and thank Ariana, Bruno and the success of ASIB? That would be the smart thing to do 5 3
Havoc Posted Friday at 05:39 PM Posted Friday at 05:39 PM (edited) Gaga genuinely seems to struggle when releasing songs without an A-lister and Beyoncé does not. That's the point. Edited Friday at 05:39 PM by Havoc 7 3
naval23 Posted Friday at 05:41 PM Posted Friday at 05:41 PM So 16/30 are solo? We love cognitive reframing 1 1
Aden Posted Friday at 05:45 PM Posted Friday at 05:45 PM So if we don't count collabs, then Bey's ten biggest hits according to Billboard are all from pre-2010. ddddd this took me out The fact that if you took away Gar's collabs, her biggest solo hits would be pre-2019 (pre-2023 of you inclide Bloody Mary). Oh Billboard-certified hitmaking longevity by Lady GaGa. 1 1

This maybe applies to release weeks and chart debuts but commercial bomb Disease has already shown more promising legs than Break My Soul and even Superbowl-promoted Texas Hold Em

Burn Posted Friday at 06:30 PM Posted Friday at 06:30 PM 32 minutes ago, Aden said: This maybe applies to release weeks and chart debuts but commercial bomb Disease has already shown more promising legs than Break My Soul and even Superbowl-promoted Texas Hold Em Because of Spotify streams? Has it ever occurred to you that streaming, and especially Spotify is only one way people consume music - and it's hardly news that Bey's audience gravitates more to Apple Music or downloads. Besides, Disease is still a long way off matching Texas' total Spotify streams so why don't you wait for Disease to pass it or even BMS before bragging prematurely? 6 1 1
IVY Posted Friday at 06:41 PM Posted Friday at 06:41 PM (edited) Actually Beyonce has done a pretty good job in the streaming era. Since the 2020's she had two big streaming hits that were trending with Cuff it & Texas hold'em. Edited 9 hours ago by IVY 4

Which was then proven to be FALSE: 6 hours ago, OrgVisual said: Sheeran noted that the song, which was released Dec. 1, has actually been in the works since May. "Obviously she had twins [in June], and we finished [the song] in September, so I've been holding onto it since then," Sheeran said of the "Perfect Duet," which was released on Dec. 1. Perfect (solo) was released as a single in September. Y'll are just saying anything at this point So sit your ass down and be quiet the next time grown folk are talking. 4 1

So you didn't actually read the article. They ranked her songs based on how high / how long it was on the charts. It says her ten biggest hits are: 1. Irreplaceable: 2006 2. Baby Boy: 2003 3. Crazy in Love: 2003 4. Check on It: 2006 5. Single Ladies: 2008 6. Naughty Girl: 2004 7. Bonnie & Clyde: 2002 8. Me Myself & I: 2003 9. Savage: 2020 10.

If the focus of the thread is on the recency of her biggest hits, why is the title about the number that are solo? Also, why is it bad that her core hits are from before 2010, when the 00s-early 10s is the period most of this site associates with the peak of pop music? Edited Friday at 07:13 PM by Rotunda

The focus is not recency, the focus is the numbers get skewed in a very stupid way if you only 'look at solos'. That means you'd have to discount Bey's biggest hits (like Crazy in Love or Baby Boy). Or claim that TTPD 'had no Taylor hits' because its only hit was with Post. etc

And the majority of MJ's and Madonna's biggest hits are from the 80s. What exactly is your point? Beyonce was the most successful female Hot 100 artist of the 2000s, placing at #4. That doesn't even include Destiny's Child who were #9 for the Decade. Combined she was #1. Was she somehow supposed to beat her peak success by doing non-commercial albums in the 10s and 20s? 4
Burn Posted Friday at 07:54 PM Posted Friday at 07:54 PM Also OP @hawx23 - just a minor correction it's 13/30 collabs not 14/30, I guess you possibly miscounted when titling the thread? I'm sure you'll be so kind to update your thread title. Using the source you provided I've bolded the collab songs: "Ego" "Love in This Club Part II" (Usher feat. Beyoncé & Lil Wayne) "Partition" "Ring the Alarm" "Sorry" "Diva" "Until the End of Time" (With Justin Timberlake) "Best Thing I Never Had" "7/11" "Déjà Vu" (feat. Jay-Z) "Beautiful Liar" (With Shakira) "Cuff It" "Mi Gente" (J Balvin & Willy William feat. Beyoncé) "Sweet Dreams" "Perfect" (Ed Sheeran feat. Beyoncé) "Texas Hold 'Em" "Break My Soul" "Drunk in Love" (feat. Jay-Z) "If I Were a Boy" "Halo" "Telephone" (Lady Gaga feat. Beyoncé) "Savage" (Megan Thee Stallion feat. Beyoncé) "Me, Myself and I" "03 Bonnie & Clyde" (Jay-Z feat. Beyoncé) "Naughty Girl" "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" "Check on It" (feat. Slim Thug) "Crazy in Love" (feat. Jay-Z) "Baby Boy" (feat. Sean Paul) "Irreplaceable" 2 1
