Listen, when it comes to touring, Beyonce is indeed the Queen B but the commercial success of her projects are highly lacking. Despite receiving almost unanimous praise and unprecedented hype, Lemonade has yet to sell a million copies -- a feat that Views achieved in a matter of days.

Furthermore, the songs on the album (despite being commercially accessible) have failed to leave a mark on the charts. After a strong debut, most of the songs on Lemonade fell off the charts in the following week and to date, Sorry is the album's strongest performer, currently sitting at #39 on the Billboard 100 after briefly peaking at #11.

As you can see, the numbers just don't match the hype. Are the Beyhive just a loud and abrasive vocal minority or are radio stations refusing to give the girl some spins?

What say you, The Coli? Comment below.

I don't recall mentioning his name. :stopitslime:

I know that you use multiple aliases so it's hard to remember what you typed for what but you literally put...

So again, cool undercover Drake props thread.

nikka, that's a fact and I only drew the comparison because both works were released around the same time, with Beyonce receiving most of the buzz. This thread is about Beyonce and the surprising underperformance of Lemonade.

Beyonce is currently doing a stadium tour series while Drake is doing arenas and you're asking this dumb shyt?

Did you forget Beyonce's album is streaming only on Tidal? She is outselling Drake in physical copies every week and he's out here making up the difference with the fact that he's on Apple, Tidal, Spotify, etc.

Beyonce stopped making pop singles two albums ago. Drunk in Love was her last single designed to have billboard chart success. Other than that, what has she officially released and built up as a single? All those songs in the top 40 were off the strength of people downloading Tidal just to play her album. Once the iTunes dropped, that was obviously going to change. Don't be stupid.

Low key: You have a vibe similar to Napoleon about you.

She's selling out all these stadiums but according to the numbers, those people ain't buying or supporting the albums. :dame:

:duck:

Look at all this intellectual dishonesty.

:heh:

:dead:

You are so obsessed with him you don't even remember mentioning him and now you are back peddling trying to justify it.

This is probably your best undercover Drake thread yet.
