B'Day : released it on her birthday and used it as a marketing trick to force people to buy it out of sympathy
IASF : her alter-ego and that double persona she tried to push
4 : "her" baby
BEYONCÉ : surprise release, 17 free videos (cuz the videos were totally free right)
Lemonade : Jay-Z cheating rumors, a free movie ( totally free), BLM bandwagon etc etc
Publicity stunts after publicity stunts
Am not kidding when I say that I've seen people claiming all of these things here. That's why Beyoncé haters are amongst the dumbest and most desperate people that you'll find on the internet

Wait let's take it a step further with gimmicks.
Destiny's Child: Rap-singing tricked hip-hop fans with No No No part 2
The Writing's on the Wall: Stole from TLC for publicity, lineup change before the 3rd single to make it a hit out of drama
Survivor: Capitalize on drama and gain sympathy for Beyoncé
Love: Destiny EP: Used coordinated rainbow outfits to trick gay children into buying the album, only available at Target so richer soccer moms had more expendable money for Beyoncé to steal.
8 Days of Christmas: Released after 9/11 for sympathy sales.
This Is The Remix: Took advantage of Michelle by including "Heard a Word" on the tracklisting. Stole the name of Jessica Simpson's remix compilation that came out 5 months after Destiny's Child's remix album.
Dangerously in Love: Gimmick romance with Jay-Z, gimmick of a solo album from girl-group leader, gimmick of winning 5 Grammys in one night.
Destiny Fulfilled: Having solo-star Beyoncé in the group was a gimmick, having her collaborate with a gospel artist Michelle Williams was a gimmick, Destiny's Child reuniting instead of making their hiatus permanent was a gimmick, DUH!
