Beyoncé is the artist in the race to 100m article that hasn’t been updated for the longest. I understand after the string of updates that you’re probably focusing on new artists like Deep Purple. But is there a plan to update her this year? Or is it unlikely.
I originally thought her numbers wouldn’t change much as streaming is updated but now I’m not sure after seeing the 8m jump for Drake and the 2m jump for Rihanna because of changes in sales tracking.
what kind of increase would you expect?
I‘m really curious to find out how her next solo album and its singles will perform on the charts. More mainstream oriented music or is she really over this? Surprise drop again (maybe in partnership with Netflix/Disney) or a traditional promo run with an upbeat lead single? Hopefully the Tidal exclusive drop is a thing of the past.
With Lemonade on Spotify and new side-releases, I think an update for her would be quite interesting right now.
You're talking a lot of smack for someone who hasn't had a hit in almost a decade.
No. Britney wins on tours and single sales records:
Destiny’s Child opened for Britney on her 2000 tour; even though she debuted after they did.
Britney’s 1/3 done & canceled 2004 tour outgrossed both of Beyoncé’s 2003 + 2004 tours.
In 2009, Britney’s Circus Tour outgrossed Beyoncé’s 2009-2010 I Am Tour.
Britney was ranked #21 on Billboards 2000’s artists tours while Beyoncé and DC didn’t make that list.
Britney had set records with her singles sales like highest selling digital single opening week when she released Womanizer, beating Mariah Carey’s Touch My Body from 2005, and keeping the record thru the end of the decade.
Britney, in 2009 released only the 15th single ever to debut at #1 with 3, which was never even promoted.
Circus closed out the decade-end IFPI reports for global sales as the #10 highest selling single of 2009, even though it was released in 2008.
Britney’s 1st 6 studio albums were from 1999-2008, not 2007…
A Greatest Hits album is a compilation album. Let’s focus on studio albums.
Also, if you are referring to her 8th as keeping its average, that’s unpredictable, and would still be below Britney, based on your own estimates.
Britney won fair and square, and Destiny’s Child released a 1999 album and didn’t sell well. So if peak selling years, as you put it, include 1999, then why didn’t DC sell well? The fact you suggest 1999 secured strong sales for Britney undermines her success, as DC proves that not all 1999 albums from popular artists did well…
DC even had the advantage of it being their 2nd album, so they already had a built in fanbase from 1998, but still underperformed.
TLC had gone Diamond a few years earlier, so blaming lesser sales strictly on the year is unfair.
I think Gaga only has 6 albums and outsold Beyoncé, and I bring her up since Adele also came out in 2008. Taylor, from her first 6 albums did better than Beyoncé’s 6.
Beyoncé still released mainstream pop songs in 2011, like Run The World, and featured heavily on commercial pop music like Telephone from Gaga from 2010, and even later in the decade such as on Ed Sheeran’s Perfect Duet. Sorry, but your argument isn’t honest.
She also collabs with many artists to capitalize on the increased Latin music market, hence Mi Gente.
Britney’s 1st 6 did better than Beyoncé’s
1st 6, so we don’t have to blame it on more albums.
You do know though, that The Writing’s On The Wall was their 2nd album, you’re referring to. It was a massive success, how the hell did this album underperform?
Did Gaga really outsell her? I don’t think so with her last few albums selling poorly with no longevity on streaming platforms beside Shallow and its soundtrack.
In which timeline is RTW mainstream pop in 2011?
Yes, her side projects were often Remixes of popular tunes during the 10s, but her own material didn’t cater to the masses, intentionally.
Ultimatey it doesn’t really matter, the fact is Britney had more success at her peak and Beyonce has more longevity. Plus they are two completely different artist that make different music. During the early-mid 2010’s Beyonce did transition to a less commercial style, but that was in a way necessary for her remaining a relevant artist and her living up to the incredibly high pedestal the world put her on. Britney on the other hand had iconic pop hits that still stand the test of time, but never really grew that much artistically and that’s possibly why her career is so front loaded, also due to her being a more teen centric star. l also think with the Free Britney movement, Britney could have a big comeback, but we’ll see.
But I don’t see why you can’t just enjoy your favourite artists and be excited to see how successful they are without degrading another.
IASF was just a smash era, goddamn. 4 is really impressive without a real hit song, I bet the knew back then, it would be a record for the long run, and she was right.
Wondering if in the next update the Dream Girls OST will be added to her orphan section since The Gift OST was also added and they are both soundtracks with her as a producer. If im not mistaken it sold 2M pure copies? That would be a great boost! Looking forward it it soon 🤗
In Pure Sales Lemonade sole 2M In US. The 3xP certification is Sales Plus Streams.
When will we get the update for Beyonce?
IASF could be closer to 8 million, BEYONCE pass 4 million, and Lemonade above 3 million.
Pois quando atualizar a pag dela eu quero que introduza o homecoming
E o todo mundo é amor. também colocar dados corretos sobre as vendas dela aqui no brasil, porque ela é gigante aqui.
