Streaming is not about revenues... It's about knowing who is checking up for your catalogue....

This being the most obvious case...

We talked about Rihanna selling-out stadiums... which she did. You jumped to revenues like you made any profit off it... I don't care about how much money she made... Rihanna has objectively sold-out stadium venues...

You will NEVER re-write history

Notice how it's always the SAME date being used... I know you tired of being clocked...

She STILL became a SOLO act in 2003... That's where her solo trajectory started. We don't be counting Jackson 5 as MJ's career the same way you guys do...

Wait... I pay for my streams... this spotify subscription ain't free try again

Rihanna and decline in the same sentence... Pray she does not announce a tour because you know damn well in 2026's standards she'll sell tickets like it's nothing...

Not you acting like 2013 didn't exist just to fit your agenda... But yes Rihanna also sold-out stadiums in 2016... must suck to be wrong....

Destiny's Child debut album was in 1998... they were being opening acts for Britney Spears at that time. Beyoncé was NOT a household name yet. It helped her launch her solo career, yes. But household name is a reach.

You guys need to stop discrediting streaming to this extreme... That's like people invalidating digital sales because they used to go and buy physical copies...

I don't know love, you tell us ?

You're mad at... facts... Beyoncé became, in fact, a brand of her own, in 2003...

The other girls also have vinyls/CDs out... And still their streams are higher...

Beyoncé debuted as a solo act in 2003. Rihanna debuted in 2005. Taylor in 2006. Shakira in 1991.

Something very interesting about Beyoncé is that she can draw huge audiences to her concerts, yet her recurring streams are surprisingly low compared to her peers, especially for an artist who consistently sells out such massive tours. You'd expect her catalogue to follow... but it doesn't... Daily streams: Taylor Swift - 46,489,739 Rihanna - 30,228,617 Lady Gaga - 16,365,003 Katy Perry - 17,416,808 Shakira - 17,233,421 Beyoncé - 11,934,599 Why aren't people supporting her catalogue as much as her tours? Would they rather see her put on a show than listen to her music?

"Wrote some songs about Ricky Now I listen and laugh" I'd be mad if someone I dated wrote this about me, only to switch up... She needs guidance, she's just out of pocket...

When speaking of CURRENT relevancy in the music scene, touring is indeed irrelevant... All you need to be successful when it comes to touring, is having a name big enough and a catalogue of hits... People are willing to go see ANYBODY to be entertained... Well, even Tate McRae had a sold-out arena tour and she has less hits than Dua? Dua is 3 studio albums in, and the numbers were already shaky by the 3rd album. But she secured enough hit songs to make a name for herself. That is completely irrelevant to how her next album is going to be received...

I hate that touring has given you guys wings like this... Katy Perry has recently sold-out an arena tour, even though she's been flopping for the last 3 albums. Touring is not a reflection of current popularity, we've had legacy acts selling-out massive venues... In most cases, people go to see pop girls without listening to their latest album...

Like I love my girl Zara, but she NEVER had a direction whatsoever...

Her music is absolute trash... and I love her... But there was even a point in time, where she would take pride in not caring for a music video having meaning nor a song. She'd even argue with her label that lyrics did not matter... Perhaps she was definitely young. But nowadays, she's getting noticed for her visuals & talent more than the music itself. So I'm curious to see how she's going to play this in her favour.. Deep down, i'm rooting for her.... so i hope it works...

She was the most active pop girl during COVID, and it played in her favour... But the way people gave up on her with Radical Optimism when lockdown was over... Welp... Like people just did NOT care... in the US at least...

She does, but she still is giving featured artist on a radio hit nowadays... Her brand was strong during Future Nostalgia, but it fell apart with Radical Optimism...

She's NOTHING like Rihanna, because she does not have Rihanna's versatility... When Dua released Houdini, people were not surprised at her single choice after Future Nostalgia... Because she truly is a one-trick pony, no shade... These new girls really be showing you guys how good we had with Rihanna. She was serving more switch-ups than these girls...
