Took forever to catch up

Once again there are hive members that don't seem to understand stand the concept of selling both singles and albums, or more appropriately, promoting your music. Beyoncé does not lose anything when she puts a music video on Vevo or when she performs on stage at an awards show it can only benefit her. Singles help sell albums, look at what work did for Anti and now imagine what properly handled singles will do for the Lemonade era and her overall legacy. I just wish some of the people that will defend her decisions even when they're hurtful to her career would see that the things we're asking for would also benefit them. Do you not want to hear Sorry blasted on every radio station? Do you not want everyone in America/Europe to know the words to her songs regardless if they're a fan? Do you not want her to have another signature hit as big as Crazy in Love? Do you not want her to gain more career #1s? Do you think getting any of those things somehow diminishes her as an artist? Because it won't, and we're not asking for her to be in IASF promo mode but a video uploaded to Vevo and maybe the song put on spotify does not require her to lift a finger. Why should she have to stay loyal to tidal when no one else is? They all get to run around and enjoy using every tool to enhance their eras meanwhile bey is supposed to remain chained to a service that is run by the same man that cheated on her ass! Y'all really sticking up for Jay and all I can say is Bey has earned the right to not help out his business.

ur bragging about success which you clearly states you don't care about. All I'm saying is that the album hasn't reached all her casual fans because they may digest music differently than Tidal/iTunes

She's just giving them stats to let them now the album is doing fine.

Looks like hold up is the single in uk.

Meanwhile.. Australia's one of biggest radio chain 'Nova' added freedom and formation eventhought sony Aus sent sorry as single.

The best part of Sorry is the the bridge and the last 1 minute. Sounds like two songs in one. If there is one album I wouldn't have minded extremely long songs, this album would be it.

A complete mess. I find it hard to believe that her label cannot get this right - very amateurish - the way they're handling this.

That last verse is the best part of "Sorry" and probably one of the saddest and greatest verses in popular music.

BeamMeUp back with those Sorry stats yet?

If a single is played in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does the album sell to casual fans?

[Bey Admired]

The essays in here You'd think that Lemonade isn't slaying Who gives a damn about a number 1 single when you can sell albums and stadium tours?

[Slayonce]

Sorry deserves its shine since I was cheated on with a Beck.

He better call Becky with the good hair has a whole new meaning for me now.

Its part in the mv also slays.

Wish it were on VEVO for me to go view casually.

So not the point we were making sis maybe you should read again

Sorry has a special purpose in my life, especially since I used it as a point of reference for my last break-up.

It begins at 17:15 & ends at 20:35 so it's 3:20 min. So 33 seconds missing somewhere. It's not easy dragging through an hours worth of video.

Maybe if she released just one video to VEVO there would be less confusion among countries/radios. Js

It kind of is though. That's the underlying reason for this entire convo. Some care about the charts more than others. Some people can't compute how you can still be so relevant without a number 1.

'Put it on Vevo', they say. Lol. If you haven't figured out by now, Beyoncé couldn't give a damn about charts and she's certainly not going to let no third-party make money off her. In fact, she's probably designing her very own platform -YonceTube.

[Surfboardt]

Anyway for those of us who care, Sorry has passed Hold Up and Formation and is now no. 10 on iTunes USA

[50thStateofMind]

Sorry is better than Hold Up. Thatʻs a fact and yʻall will deal.

I used to hear formation heaps, but freedom seems to have taken over. I think it's going well, better than the BEYONCE era tbh. I swear they played blow for like a week and then never played another track. I wish sorry would do well here though.
