Lucyyyyyyyyy

Like you said, some of her peers outsell her in all forms so I have no idea.

I'm so tired of all these threads trying to downplay Beyoncé's TALENT by talking about NUMBERS. It's illogical. These threads about Beyoncé are so sad. Haters on ATRL are on the clock 24/7 trying their hardest to one day hear a hive member say "OK She's not that talented". It's never going to happen, sorry. We actually respect and admire Beyoncé's talent, not the number of hits and shady tweets she has.

This.

And BYE again. I came back but the foolishness is still the same so... see ya!

US is the #1 market and the most influential in the world.
nobody knows a music legend coming from Germany while everybody knows Aretha. let it sink.

But a music legend from Germany, or let's say, Barbados, who everybody knows and slays GLOBALLY > someone who slays only in the us. let it sink.

You: "How many copies did "Drunk in Love" sell?"

"Beyonce's tour outgrossed every other tour"

You: "How many copies did "Video Phone" sell?"

Beyonce covered Time Magazine, was placed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Legends' section and dominated the BET Awards and the VMAs.

You: "How many copies did "Get Me Bodied" sell?"

Beyonce cured brain cancer today.

You: "How many copies did "Get On The Bus" sell?"

Do you have anything to offer this thread aside from singles talk?

Continuing to bring up singles in a discussion about OVERALL career achievement only perpetuates the idea that your fave has nothing to offer but singles...

She aint said nothing but single talk

Please. Domestically, BEYONCÉ is the best selling album of BOTH 2013 and 2014!!

No other album has even sold half of what it did in its first week since its release.

Why are you comparing Bey and Ri in terms of touring? You know she $230M is much much bigger than $147M, or however much she did.

And the fact that even without any hit singles Beyoncé is still managing to be the most succesful album of her time.

Maybe you should just spend a little time reading up on Forbes and Times, maybe they can do a better job at stating why she's number 1. Or ask the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame why she's already practically inducted even though she's too youg atm.

Or ask the VMAs, the critics...etc.

Really? Bruno Mars, JT and Eminem say hi. Pop girls maybe

Let's kindly avoid WW

So someone who only slays in the us can outgross a global legend even without their us gross .

Her beauty and star power is what is driving her career now. It stopped being about the music for Beyonce a LONG time ago.

Slay Rihanna

Being compared to someone who is 17 years into career in touring department after only 7 years

She's one of the few remaining popstars from the 90s /early 2000s that's still relevant and has success. Plus, shes a great entertainer and vocalist who has accomplished a lot in a short amount of time.

Because dreams tend to reach further than money that the label ends up taking.

The fact that people after all that single success still prefer to go see Beyonce live.

Except no one was talking about Beyonce the performer, we were discussing Beyonce the artist incapable for selling a hit single since 2008.

You do know it's harder to sustain and tour after such a long time of being in the business. name another female other than Madonna & Tina Turner who can tour after such a long time in the business?

Currently, it's probably only Bey & P!nk.
