Well Mrs Carter was two? three? tours merged together under one name, so slay Rihanna!

Uh, are you serious? Drunk in Love was nearly a smash and she performed it once.

I think it's safe to say that if she had announced the single, released a lyric video, released the music video at the right moment, performed it on various television stations, did interviews, etc. it would have been bigger.

The fact that she didn't try and it was still a hit negates your assumption.

Nearly a smash isn't a smash. Anyways, it was released when Dark Horse was beginning to smash. Dark Horse would've overshadowed it either ways.

I'm honestly tired you people thinking that singles are the be all end all of a person's career because every "legend" be it Michael, Madonna, Mariah, Janet, Whitney or Prince reached a point in their career where the hits dried up... and then what? If you have to keep reminding people how many Swedish #1s you have, or how many followers you used to have on Facebook, what exactly is the point of your career? The majority of Beyonce's current peers' careers are solely dependent on securing hits and without them, they are dead. We've seen what Beyonce can accomplish without hits. At a certain point your in your career, your impact and talent should speak for itself and that is why Beyonce is placed above her peers.

NN , the girls upset that without *hits* Beyonce without trying can outgross their faves, go platinum and get the most noms at shows like the vma .

yes she still goes Platinum with her singles and iif you think it's mediocre just remember it's the certification Rihanna got on all her albums even with #1 hits.... at least Beyoncé doesnt rely on radios anymore.

Not you comparing album certifications with single certifications

. Keep grasping for straws girl. It's not that Beyonce doesn't rely on radios because she's certainly tried, it's just that radio doesn't want anything to do with her

. Can you blame them for wanting to play smash hits instead of overdone rehashes from albums past?

Yes, that's why I said it wasn't a smash. But if Drunk in Love was a bonafide hit with 1 form of promo why do you think more promo would do nothing for it? Where is your logic?

It was 1 tour with various legs. That's pretty normal. Don't be foolish.

. Pink sells more albums, singles & grosses around the same in her tours yet nobody thinks of her in that way.

It's so funny that you keep clinging on to singles to prove a nonexistent point.

Pink seems pleased with her career and Beyonce seems pleased with hers. As I said Beyonce's career speaks for itself and all of the women you brought up have praised Beyonce, some have flat-out said that Beyonce was the Queen. You're trying to argue against the general public and you will lose so you should find a better use of your time.

they're lacking arguments

Green

She's the most respected artist of her generation.

KingSasha

Someone says about Rafael Nadal (the tennis player) it's also true in her case :"Beyonce doesn't not fall for her own hype/greatness". She gives her all on stage although she carries herself with class.

No matter how big she became,she still has alot of respect for others.

The logic that not being able to get a smash hit despite desperately trying to every era is somehow commendable

But she doesn't promote her singles though.
