instead of having all these dramatic meltdowns, redirect energy to streaming the album.

Backlash?!? You mean the bullying and attacks she got while being pregnant, and after giving birth. The same bullying, and attacks her daughter(who was just a toddler at the time) got for her hair. After all that unwarranted mess, I don't blame Bey for wanting to protect her family and peace of mind. I'm glad accessibility to her became limited.

The belt and harmonizing she does towards the end of Summer Renaissance, eclipsed any vocal feats on Lemonade.

The album is being well received all over social media. Of course you can't please everybody. Definitely the album of the year.

Easily Beyoncé. She sold more albums(back to back multiplatinum albums in pure sales), concert tickets, movie tickets etc. She was an around consistent success, globally and domestically . Plus she's got the critical acclaim and cultural impact.

Punch thru Bey!

A house beat, over a gospel singing style with an infusion of bounce music. Beyoncé's musicality unmatched. Break my soul is fire!

Well deserved! Her tours in 2010s had all the elements of an immaculate tour. Proving she's the definitive vocalist & Entertainer of her generations.

Probably their own error. She's credited on all the metrics for this song.

Chile! This isn't what happened. This all speculations and gossip from blogs, back then. As a person, who witness and experienced that era firsthand. The anticipation for Bday was massive, she had just score a #1 single with "Check up on it", earlier in 2006, with a #1 box office hit movie(Pink Panther). However, this was also the era, when blogs became extremely popular, and some bloggers were posting anything without receipts. Also when the Beyoncé hate train started up again(with the dream girls era). Once Beyoncé revealed she did her album in 2weeks, the gossip mill and negativity went into overdrive. With rumors of Matthew and Columbia records being unhappy with the album. All unfounded rumors. Of course Bday gets released, and slayed the competition with it's first week sales. Deja vu was a moderate hit(it did what it was suppose to do), peaking at #4 in the Billboard hot 100. Ring the alarm might not have been a hit, but it showed her eccentric and versatile musicality. By the time, irreplaceable was released, in late 2006, Bday was already approaching the 2m mark in album sales (domestically). Irreplaceable, simply gave the album much⁷⁷needed boast. Also Bday did score favorable reviews

Bey, a global touring force!

A legendary album! Not too many can scan a multiplatinum album in pure sales
