We should've never let Black Is King flop the way it did - that must've truly GOTTEN to her. I even remember Ms Tina posting about it and how Bey only had the best intentions. Ugh, only because of some dumb marketing decisions along the way (like naming the album "The Gift" )

Well she certainly didn't act like she wanted it to do better commercially. If she did, why wasn't she out there spamming the **** out of it like she used to with her music?

If flopping gets to her, then that is all on her. If she cares about arts and not the charts that is all fine, but don't expect to have huge numbers for everything either.

@kimberly come get ur juice

I'm surprised no one noticed, but Cuff It hit a billion streams on spotify between the main and wetter remix, it's right at 1 billion as of the other day.

With a little boost from a new release this year, the main version could hit 1 billion on it's own this year, easily

Halo will hit 2 billion this year, and CIL will be close, or will hit 2 billion by the end of the year

ms tina always catching a stray

The main version is probably still hitting 1 billion with it's current streams without a boost tho. But Irreplaceable could use that boost, since it'll end the year close to 950 million streams.

It's kinda sad that every album has it's own song on its way to 1b (Irreplaceable, Love On Top, Drunk In Love, Cuff It, Texas) except for Lemonade.

I Am Sasha Fierce will get 3 songs with over 1b at some point too, but it's the only album that lacks an album track over 100m (the closest one being Ave Maria at 70m). Literally shows the difference between the singles-focus/album-focus approach.

@Lose My Breath clocking into @beyonceparkwood's "Set up Beyoncé" shift

Yall don't give SELF TITLED enough love.

When are we gonna talk about it being a better era, visual and album than Lemonade.

The only hand Lemonade has above it is the story telling and concept.

Come to think of it ST deserved AOTY more than Lemonade.

I love XO so much, such a beautiful song. It lowkey deserves the success Halo has received (lowkey I wish she didnt have the challenger audio at the start... I get the purpose but I don't think it needed that)

XO is great and I really don't mind the intro lol, but XO will NEVER be equal or better than Halo.

this how i feel abt XO

XO is such a bop!!! I think Drunk In Love cannibalized it with that dual single mess.

the way people dare to disrespect Solange in here...

What's your favorite non-performing moment from the last two tours?

Mine is her Renaissance birthday speech followed by Diana Ross' entrance singing happy birthday.

For CC it was the gender reveal. The way she was trying to interpret the sign before reading it out loud . A close 2nd is trying to read everyone's sign during Ya Ya.

For Act 3 tour I hope she still interacts with us unlike that other lady. But I predict she will ban signs and push the stage even further away from the fans and raise the stage higher.

that renaissance date she got humbled when the hive screamed julius name more than her

The ending vocals in YA YA gives me high hopes for Act III, and that she's going to blow us completely out of the water.

I see the truth now. CCT Film is still coming. She'll have a cowboy hat on for the MET Gala to tease it. MY HORSE.mp3 at the end of it. And act iii is not coming until Jay does his cute little concerts in June and Solange releases her new album. So 2027.

You are a demon sent to torment me!

If B ever did interviews again, I think it would be cute if she did some podcasts like Good Hang with Amy Poehler, or Table Manners with Jessie Ware. Something very low key that probably wouldn't even feel like an interview - as there's never any gotcha moments.

Do you know how crazy viral a clip of B having fun and laughing would go? It would be insane. And she's so damn funny.

Lemonade had more than just story and concept though above ST. Its live performances are MILES ahead of ST's.

Really only the BEYONCÉ MTV Vanguard performance is a truly great performance of her's from that era (Grammy's DIL was cute, XO at Brits was boring, Partition at BET was pre-recorded from tour). The X10 performances were great too I guess, but that's a separate thing.

Meanwhile Lemonade started with one of the most iconic performances of her career with Formation at the Super Bowl, continued with a bombastic Freedom BET awards performance, peaked (perhaps) with the 2016 VMAs medley, gave award-show-level performances to a TIDAL concert (6 inch and All Night) and culminated in a true work of art with Love Drought/Sandcastles at the Grammys.
