But Loud outsold every Beyoncé album on the list. She also has only 2 more albums yet 10M more sold. Could a member of the Hive, who love to constantly downplay Rihanna's success, enlighten me please?

You guys always gloat about how Beyoncé is an album artist, and then complain about lack of singles hindering her success ? You can't have it both ways.

But we did not bring singles here. You brought them here. And you did not even bring singles to begin with but transform album tracks into singles.

But sis, that is still a big promotion.

...

We all should be happy though, all of our faves are on the list 👏

This is true though

Me or him? Because Beyoncé has definitely released pop songs this decade to boost her album sales. Rihanna has also released urban/dancehall songs which is way less mainstream, while slaying everyones fave

Rihanna isn't a bubblegum pop artist and so the genre card can't be used

Who does a whole film that premiere on TV for debuting the album ? That's huge promo, and huge work from Bey don't see how she's sabotaging herself. The fact that Adele's lil quick commercial did so much more

As far the PR thing you're just playing dumb. Again good for her she has a lot of publications on her side, but facts are still gonna be facts regardless of how much good publicity she can have.

Queen Bey can't be that limited in the genre she would explore in her conceptual creative coherent body of work, right ?

I'm a Britney fan I know a thing or two about sabotaging and having an HBO premiere isn't it.

Girl, she has done nothing but sabotaging herself this decade. This doesn't even ****ing matter, she still sells well

You're acting like all the albums released by Adele/Rih/Taylor are generic bubblegum pop music? You shouldn't use genre as an excuse

None of them makes RnB music. They're all pop artists wtf are you even talking about. None of them is an RnB female, especially not Swift. I'm not even using RnB as an excuse as to why are sales are "so low" according to yall. If anything it shows why they're impressive. Think about rnb singers who debuted at the same time as Bey. Where are them today ?

You sis. I think genre is never an excuse. ;-)

Excuse me ? It's one of the Hive who brought up the numbers of singles released saying Beyoncé released less single on average so that's why she's selling less albums. You'll need to get your narrative straight to be honest

Precisely, that's what PR does. Then reality kicks in, and..well.

PR doesn't work if you don't have a leg to stand on. "Beyoncé is the biggest artist of this generation" isn't going to hold much merit if it isn't true. However everyone knows her songs, everyone knows she's an amazing singer, everyone knows she's an amazing dancer, everyone knows she's an amazing performer and everyone knows she's globally super successful.

She has done a lot of questionnable decisions, she's not the best at promoting her stuff I'll give you that, but she's NOT sabotaging herself. Superbowl twice, the innovative release from ST, the premiere of TV, like are you even serious ?

Like I said, not all Beyoncé singles are RnB so you can't use it as an excuse. Many of her singles have leaned towards pop instead of RnB (and pop sells the best).
