Anti: 2 streaming hits that are the only thing keeping the album charting. Hyped for over a year with scrapped singles and fan-engaging teasers yet little to no actual demand once the product was released. Made available for free to 1 million WORLDWIDE, not just in the US.

Lemonade: All songs charted on the H100 based purely on track sales, #1 debut all based on fan demand with 3.5 days of sales, outsold Anti's entire sales.

I mean if you want to play it that way.

Let's not forget Formation was free for THREE MONTHS in both MP3 and Lossless quality yet still topped iTunes charts around the world including the WW iTunes chart.

Beyonce is selling a film not only an album ffs.

So what's the reason for Anti performing poorly worldwide?

Lemonade made Hot 100 History.

Most Simultaneous Songs in the Top 40
First woman to chart 12 songs on the Hot 100 at once


All while the album being #1. Which I might add it's STILL #1 on iTunes while being $18. So what's your excuse?

I enjoy Anti but that fact that y'all made it Anti vs Lemonade

Yes @ yall giving Trent the attention he craves

Still not one hit off Lemonade, Formation is a Judas level hit.

I mean if you wanna play that way....

And I can't take seriously someone who compares a film sales against a pure album.

And? Rihanna is selling a album with a 9 week number 1 single

But according to you



So what is it?

ATRL will stay predictable.


OT: The era did find some nice success with it.

iTunes
Sorry - #11

Needed Me - #21

One is selling more while the other is streaming more simply because it is available to be streamed.

LEMONADE era made a lot more money than ANTI era.

I don't think the future is earn less. At least not for Beyonce.

Is not my fault the hive is more obsessed with me than Rihanna and Beyonce combined

I didn't even mention Beyonce in the OP Jesus Christ

Why are people arguing about what's *currently* successful. The OP is titled the "future" of success. These deals will absolutley become more common as the rapidy declining industry continues to decline.

Why attempt to drag her for the samsung deal? she still got paid and it bought more attention to a streaming platform she part owns. While it's not recognised by billboard the samsung sales still count towards certification. It's a win,win.

Sorry is a hit. It is slaying ITunes and has good radio airplay

Film + Album

That's it!

Ikr ? You're such a star, truly the Kim Kardashian of this forum. Keep slaying hun

you are correct

I'm more like Beyonce, I bring attention without trying that hard

Anyway ANTI is the future of success, by next year everyone is gonna be praising the era and is gonna be the new standard of a pure streaming successful era.
