Ask him. And "Crazy In Love" already lost and this was discussed to death. I understand if you were upset you missed the thread but we've already come to a conclusion.

Yes I'm upset that I missed an ATRL thread. My life is over

No, if we're comparing their total careers (DC + solo) Beyonce has sold nearly as many albums as Britney. And we're talking about NOW sis, NOW.

one joke at a time now sis

The amount of life y'all get from ATRL polls.

Crazy in Love remains the better seller, more recurrently played AND streamed, more acclaimed and referenced with continued presence in pop culture regardless of what button some kids on a forum thread decided to click. Flex that poll win tho!

What exactly did the Army start? The Hive created the poll, lost and is now backpeddaling and creating flamebait threads to try and derail the argument...all while still trying to push CiL.

But P!nk's last album was released in 2012. Don't act like she's gonna have another 6M seller in this climate especially if her next album doesn't have a JGMAR-sized hit. And if Beyoncé didn't surprise release it probably wouldn't have gone platinum.

Edit: actually I know it wouldn't! There were no real hits to push it there and no buzz around it aside from the release

So Drunk, Partition, and Flawless weren't hits?

welcome to the 2010's

The lie. A platinum album is immensely more impactful and lucrative in comparison to a platinum single.

Beyoncé and P!nk can still put on amazing vocals, choreography , good music, and are excelling at what they do despite being older of the relevant Pop Girls.

Their peers aren't exactly much of performers anymore, don't make great music, and don't excel anymore.

Still holding on to the past, when we are talking about the present ...

And where did I say y'all "started" that or any other poll?

I couldn't care less about who made the poll. I'm just addressing the facts that all negate your claim of Crazy in Love's "inferiority" in comparison to the lesser selling, streamed, recurrently played, referenced and acclaimed (...but ATRL poll winner!!!) Toxic.

Beyonce and P!nk are still worth stanning for.

Not to mention them having more acclaim, still selling out world tours, etc.

And fonts in here know it too, which is why they're bothered. Be a loyal fan to whoever you want but don't come for women who still love what they do and are still winning just because your fav tapped out early.
