Beyoncé is still the center of pop culture almost 30 years into her career, why?

  • It certainly isn't because of people listening to the music, given her stream stats.   She's become more of a 'Kardashian' of the music industry.

    This being an achievement.  Perfectly describes the Beyhive, lol

    Because no one else can do what she does

She's honestly the Kim K of the music industry… only known nowadays for her name and PR stunts:giraffe:

I would genuinely love to know if you ever stop lying? Even for just a moment? Her last two eras have literally pumped out #1s across the world on both the singles and albums charts, with record-breaking tours. Your statement is so categorically false, I don't even understand the point in you wasting your own time to post it. :deadbanana2:

People whining about no one buying or streaming her music when all of her albums have multiplatinum certs.

 

:redface:

Nobody cares about her outside the Anglosphere, and even there her streaming numbers are depressing. The hype around Beyoncé feels manufactured. She has some great songs, but she's already a legacy act. She hasn't been at the center of pop culture for a long time.

And who's dupe is this?

Maybe her name. Can't say the same about her music though. Her music's consumption is in the trenches and not even her fans know her songs it seems :sabrina:

 

 

Is this supposed to be a drag ? Thousands of people have bought tickets (not to mention how outrageously expensive they are !) to her concerts based on her name and reputation as a top-tier performer and vocalist alone. It's a great thing because once she becomes a legacy act and stops collecting hit singles and albums, she knows that people will still go see her on tour.

Break my soul and Texas hold em were absolutely forgettable hits.  The former being generic and the latter being a tiktok hit that is literally cringe if heard out loud in 2025.

Both songs remain #1 songs in multiple music markets across the world. So, again: the statement is categorically false.

 

You failed to dispute my point in another thread, don't make the same mistake in this one too.

My point was already made in this one and is correct.  I hope Beyonce thinks about you as much as you do about her :heart:

It's not lost on me that specific fandoms try to compare the most talented singer and performer of the 21st century to Kim Kardashian. 

 

They so desperately want what she has.

not to mention the CC tour was only a 'record-breaking' tour if you consider it a country tour, which many people don't.

Maybe in the USA but then again Taylor stomps on her so IDK. 

The center can be shared, and Beyonce is definitely there with Taylor.

Yall, Lovette hasn't responded and it's been almost 20 minutes.  
 

I don't want to jump the gun but I think she went outside and touched grass.

As per usual, you didn't have a point. You tried (and failed) to dispute mine.

 

Also, kii at that last statement as if your entire posting history isn't dedicated to trolling Beyoncé. :deadbanana: The irony.

The tour remains record-breaking, regardless of the genre that the Guinness World Records and Billboard confirmed it to be. :heart:

Let's be for real, she may not be center-CENTER but it's almost impossible to go some days without seeing/hearing about her in some way or another if you're into all things pop culture. And that's because she supposedly don't make noise with her music anymore so i wonder WHY she's still on people minds, kinda impressive huh? She's not forcing anything either, she just drop things and go into hiding. No music videos in 5 years. A big witch-hunt almost a year ago and she left unscathed. She crazy.

Beyoncé has been a hot topic since before this site even existed and probably will be long after it.

The versatility of her career from girl group to solo and combining commercial success with critical acclaim

 

You can really see the evolution through her discography and she doesn't use gimmicks for quick sales or cheap sales tactics and truly cares about the art

 

Too bad the Spotify overall daily streams don't reflect that. Even Nicki Minaj is in the news for some reason or the other. Does that mean she is the centre of pop culture? No. 

She's one of the very few (I'd almost say the only tbh) female popstar from the 2000s that has been masterful and keeping people entertained, intrigued and reinventing herself to always current with the times and trends. A lot of pop stars, understandably, step away at some point from the spotlight, u can't be #1 forever and then they focus on having kids, etc. even when Beyonce did this she still kept her pulse on what's happening in the world of pop culture, to still be relevant after sooooo many years and decades is not easy and that alone speaks to her talent imho.

Because people have been praying for her downfall for decades and it pisses them off that it's not going to happen.
