Albums The Carters (Jay-Z & Beyoncé) - Everything Is Love (Discussion Thread)

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

I gave this album one listen and thought it was kinda corny.

 

[True Blue Moon]

I don’t think I ever even listened to this but nikkas in here gave it 5 mics

None of those Beyonce collabos you mentioned sold 8 million like Drunk In Love. Terrible comparison. The fact that you mentioned the Jay Z and Alicia Keys song which sold Diamond confirms that Jays star power to sell a song was it's strongest around the early 2010's like I been saying over and over again. Bottom line that Beyonce Jay album would have sold way more then gold had it dropped in the early 2010's. Beyonce was faltering in the late 2010's, Her Live album, the Jay album and the Lion King album all went gold. Beyonce and Jay were not going gold in the early 2010's.

She released 2 albums since then, the last 4 years, both are multi platinum

Of course if they released a joint album in their prime it would have sold more

EIL biggest problem was the rollout

Not even mad it being a surprise drop... considering the success she had prior ....444 I believe was also a surprise release

You should look up the difference in how singles were certified. Back in the days it was actual sales, since 2010s it’s streaming numbers including YouTube. Which is why singles go 5, 6, 7 or 10x all the time now. While a Billie Jean barely went platinum back in the days.
Empire State of Mind didn’t go diamond off the bat, it’s due to it being Jays most streamed song, still in 2026. It went 3x in 2010, 9x in 2023 and diamond in 2024. Crazy in love went gold in 2004, 6x in 2022, 8x in 2024.

Like I said, all 3 songs were among the 9 #1 songs Beyoncé has released, that figure is independent of technology.

Thank you. This is what I been saying. Don't know why dude's in here really trying to argue against that.

Naa, 444 was not a surprise drop. A thread was made anticipating it weeks before it dropped.

You can't convince me this album actually exists.
