Beyoncé was named female artist of the decade 00s. Like

She's shifting those album sales, not everybody has that and dont act like all her singles are flops when they are more known than some Quick little singles forgotten after a few months....

You've already said that Drunk In Love was a hit, and either way, your single focus is a moot point. She's sold a respectable amount of singles and still gets good airplay, so I guess this is just you clutching at straws.

So basically hit = Billboard Hot 100 #1? Because she's had plenty of top 20s, Formation went top 10 with one single promo performance, and DIL peaked #2... That's in addition to all of her albums going #1 for multiple weeks and outselling most of her peers, not even mentioning the touring stats. If you have the nerve to say that's not successful (especially compared to the new "it girls"), you've really revealed yourself to be lacking in objectivity.

Who are y'all trying to kid? You can count the people that are able to compete these days on one hand.
