Paid stream vs free stream. This is why Apple Music streaming equals more units for Billboard and RIAA. Spotify been around a lot longer and the music sounds better on Spotify to me so I can’t say I’m surprised. I use Spotify more than I use Apple. I don’t know why I’m paying for both tho 😭

Beyoncé already grossed 100m from the renaissance tour. Make room. She’s at least coming for the 4th spot depending on how many shows she wants to add

Hurt her ability to perform but it helped the public reception for why it wasn’t as show stopping.

It’s Madonna so I think people will like it but the Madonna show started so promising and then it fell into unnecessary guests. Personally, I prefer Rihanna’s.

This simply can’t be true. She’s local. It’s all a PR stunt. It’s smoke & mirrors. She hasn’t had a global hit since Telephone. Surely the Local Chanteuse isn’t doing global touring numbers like this 20+ years into her career.

Adele, Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Taylor were kinda the MPG 2014 and on which was the rise of streaming. We cycled between who was the 5th (Ariana usually). We just never really had a term for it since we used Main Pop Girls for usually Brit/Bey/Rih/Gaga/Katy lol.

the remix is still gaining on AM. I expect this to have some longevity in the top 10. Both the Cuff It Remix and AHAP are starting to take off on TikTok.

Neither. Rihanna is a decent performer with the ability to put on a good show. But, performances were never the make or break for her success. She’s much more known as simply a hit maker and as long as it’s decent (which it will be), the show will do it’s job as a certified stamp of decade long amazing hit-making career before she became an entrepreneur. So, I don’t think it will be a huge boost for her, but I don’t think it will tarnish anything. She’s already solidified atp with or without SB.

You can add Rihanna to the list as well probably because she made euro friendly dance-music and leaned more pop pre-Unapologetic. But yeah, they call almost every black artist local.

JT was definitely on the path to legend status after 20/20 experience, and he was considered Beyoncé's male counterpart. Usher is probably the other closest male version but he’s considered more akin to the Aaliyah/Brandy/Monica time than the late 90s teen influx. In my opinion, Beyoncé lasted longer than JT because she knew when to stop appeasing commercial radio. Even though people made fun of her lack of pop hits last decade, it’s almost like her moving away from it made her more appealing to the masses and pop radio at times too. After a certain amount of time on top, people will turn and when that happened with 4 she threw the rulebook out the window. Which is why she’s not dependent on them like others.

I think this will definitely be a grower. It’s slowly gaining on Tik Tok too. It’s going to help Cuff It’s longevity a lot.

Right. The Hive on TikTok/Twitter made it a thing to increase sales. Fortunately, Beyoncé is so in demand for the tour some people fell for it LMAO. But either way, the remix has been viral for a long time and people have been begging for it. People miss R&Bey. I think it was just perfect coincidences.

Isn’t AM like accumulative? It might take a bit of time to get to moving on AM.

If this has insane longevity, it wouldn’t be impossible for the YE top 10 I think. Hopefully, the remix gives it a good boost for weeks to come. The original is still gaining on pop and the remix can help it regain on Urban and Rhythmic radio.
