There is nothing wrong with Beyonce's streams or sales.

 

Like I mentioned, her albums have numerous multiplatinum certifications so what is the issue?

 

 

They won't acknowledge how rare it is for an artist to score TWO multi-week #1 hits 25+ years into their career but then go on about streams and sales.

popular, sure

 

the center of pop culture? come on now lol

But what exactly is unbearable about her? She barely promotes, it's not like you turn on your TV and see her on every talkshow and commercial. Unless you go out of your way to look at her instagram, all you really have to bear is word-of-mouth discussion of her and her work with some infrequent promotional spots you can easily skip.

 

Which leads me to believe you maybe can't bear the idea of her, which is a you-problem, something rather immature that states because you don't like her, others liking her is more reason to not like her, resulting in this "unbearable" adjective you've put forward.

 

of course, this is all conjecture. you've not articulated your feelings well enough to really prove if your disdain is rooted in racism or just petty feelings...feelings of which you seem to exhibit quite frequently for someone who cannot bear the artist centered in threads you willingly enter.

So well said!

 

Some people are so full of hate that they need to spread it so it doesn't eat them from the inside. It doesn't really matter anyway - Beyoncé remains the legend that she is. 

Even when I went to music school for singing, they put Beyoncé as a benchmark. i think because shes extremely talented vocalist and she debuted after whitney and mariah and noone with that amount of talent and taking her craft so seriously debuted after. you know im not beyonce fan, but you cant deny that she put effort in everything she does. Her albums are concepts, her soundtracks are challenging the status quo, even Dreamgirls states is one of the most expensive movies in history, everything she does, you know you can count on A+ effort, even if you don't necessarily agree with her standpoints or like her music. no offence, but besides taylor swift i cant name many pop singers that are serious about their career in a sense that they respect themselves and their time and always deliver material that if anything will be talked about. 

some may say oh christina aguilera is vocally talented, but what did she do to be serious about her craft, she releases an album with 104920 age gaps and delivers subpar albums.

demi lovato although i love her quality of her output wasnt consistent either, for a long time she was singing disney songs.

you cant name one singer that is vocally talented like beyonce and is serious about her craft. dont get me started on adele because she also releases an album once a decade.

is she?

her streams are abysmal

 

Popular for what? Her music was popular in the 00's

This would make sense if her last two lead singles didn't go #1.  But they did...

30? so, you are telling me that Beyoncé sold only 115M albums in 30 years? Rihanna outsold her with just 10 years of career. Gaga is coming to outsold her with 17 years of career. even Katy Perry has better sales if we divide overall sales by years of career.
 

considering how everyone claiming that Beyoncé is so big, I'm surprised that her sales for 30 years are so low.
