lol at yall acting like one of teh best selling and teh most praised 2016 release is suddenly a flop. i swear teh same people must have been worried about self-titled's destiny back in 2013 and it is still talked about and remembered, isn't it? or y'all going to pretend it was a flop as well?

It's a decent album. Her third best perhaps after the glorious 4 and self titled. I really love Hold Up.

oh yeah, that's "what happened to Lemonade..."

Oh please both Britney Jean and Artpop are more talked about than Beyonce and that doesnt make them a success

No one but the (50?) people in this thread right now are talking or even thinking (hi guests!) about Lemonade..

I'm sorry but I can't seem to understand how that's possible. We're not a community of special snowflakes.

girl what is this?

No sis, self-titled is remembered as teh groundbreaking success it is while these others are remembered for mockery and lament by teh fans. Keep it cute.

Lemonade did well

but it's Beyoncé guys. Her album multipliers from first week have consistently been week. So she sells high first week and then it doesn't work seem to have legs for long

Not putting it on Spotify hasn't helped as well. I've only ever heard Sorry from the album because it was a single which is a shame since I need to hear more before I buy a pop album

The shade was kind of weak though.

YOU WISH

No quality.

why this poll doesn't allow multiple answers?

atrl's very own version of Godwin's Law.

Wasn't it #9 in pure sales this past week? It's doing fine as far as I can see.

Maybe is just here after all both Artpop and Britney Jean went gold and Beyonce didnt

You're right, BEYONCÉ went double platinum.

huh??

You mean the highest selling album this year that is currently nominated for 4 Emmy awards and 11 VMAs?

"Becky with the good hair" made more impact than ANTi in it's entirety.

Im talking about Mexico, here Beyonce only has one gold album, the rest are uncertified, guess the certified one

Why not? Listen to Glory or ARTPOP or ANTI or PRISM then Lemonade and you should hear what sets Beyoncé apart. Lemonade alone takes you on a tour of musical genres and styles, even beyond what self titled did. We can call it a pop album sure, but that is doing it a disservice. Same is calling her a pop act. Doesn't this very thread question why she isn't acting like a pop act? Why she isn't conventionally popular? She doesn't care about streaming, singles, or promotion, but you seem desperate to label her among peers which need all of those things to survive. The difference between Beyoncé and the pop acts is she has put all her effort into making quality and acclaim her best and only asset, while everyone else needs a good dose of payola, performances, streaming deals, social media hype for months, etc etc.
