Let’s be real, Beyonces albums are overrated and that’s why she doesn’t win AOTY

I personally think Beyoncé is one of the most overrated musical artists of all time, behind people like The Beatles and Kiss. Her fans latch onto literally anything she puts out and act like it’s the greatest thing released in years when in reality it probably doesn’t crack top 10 R&B albums of the year it’s released.

I wouldn’t dare say this on Twitter or to my mother and sister cause I don’t have the time or energy. But I’m tired of pretending like it ain’t the truth.
So like every other fan right? What are your top 10 R&B albums of the year?

Renaissance is hurt by the weird rollout. There’s no visuals for the album. Beyonce didnt Do any press. she didn’t even perform any songs in Dubai


Lemonade is a good album tho it Just doesnt have Enough bops. Sasha fierce is her worse project tho

I can’t believe they thought faking a cheating scandal was a good way to sell music
hmmm... i wasn't into the i am/SF album, but bday and SF are the two works from her that put the most points in the paint, the singles from those albums were doing numbers and everywhere, and it gave her one of her top 5 iconic songs, Halo

She deserves all the praise available for Bday. She made Swizz beatz listenable

SF has big singles but it’s not a good project. I guess double albums are always going to be the weakest album from an artist

Beyonce music is elevated by the performances. For all the free promo and coverage she gets by the national news media, her sales history is extremely lackluster :sas2:

She's getting by pure hype and the music doesn't move without the concert visuals imo :hubie:
How is her sales history lackluster

B'Day is somehow slept on for whatever reason. The same way people talk about self-titled is how I think they should that album. Every song is a hit.

Her lowest selling album is 3 million prior to this new one, and that’s lemonade which was a tidal exclusive for a while lol

other than that she avg 5 million per album lol

they did different things, beyonce was like real grown ass beyonce, music got a lot sexier and and she stopped presenting herself as the super perfect media trained artist she had been from DC days to 4, it was a surprise after a 3 year break, which was long for her at the time. plus the whole surprise drop.

bday was a chartbuster (just saw she had 14 different versions of this album :dead: ), but it was very expected music expertly crafted by all the top writers and producers, like you better chart well with the dream, neyo, rich harrison, sean garrett, pharrell, dark child and good beat swizz beats all on one album - they made a shiny package of pretty radio songs
