Top 10 after being given away for free is flopping?

Anti went #1 after being given away for free

Yeah Formation was publicly free for months.. people going out of their way to buy a song they already own just because they want to and making it top iTunes and making it go top ten on the Hot 100 kinda negates any argument on it being a flop.

Well Beyonce is continuing to out sell fRih in everything ( album, concert ticket, song) on, a weekly basis, effortlessly while fRih is continue to chart base off fRih a streaming service. I think we can just call it a night. Lol

Hot100 represents songs' popularity and according to them digital sales are nothing in 2016.

I'll take Billboard's opinion on yours anytime

Maybe if she releases a quick little single with Calvin

XO was more more of a "quick little single" than any Rihanna song ever.

Pretty Hurts was pretty much a Pitbull song if Pitbull were a pop girl.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be convinced that "Sorry", "Formation", "Hold Up" are any less generic, trend-hopping or radio-asslicking than the next will.i.am single, either.

Yes.

Anti was given away for fRih too & it's still in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200.

Poor Beyuki.

So lemonade just passed the radiohead's album on iTunes.

Poor radiohead, they can't even keep their era alive for more than a week.

Lol, a Beyst stan coming for Radiohead. She stole the surprise release idea from them like she steals everything else.

[Kh-Loud]

So anyway, Beyonce is outselling fRih in album, song and concert ticket on a weekly basis.

Goodnight

It was for free for one day only (per Artemesia)

everytime I'm reminded of the fact that Lemonade era might close with 1 week spend in the top 10 of Hot100

Nah Kiss it Better
Pretty Hurts wasn't a single
They're not generic because they tell a story and come from an acclaimed body of work unlike everything Rihanna has released

Is Ex Machina good? Someone with the tea?

This has to be one of the most tragic posts in this thread.

No artist would give away an album for free for many months.

Don't bring up Miley, that isn't an artist.

[collin]

Pretty Hurts definitely was a single.

No it wasn't. I downloaded it a week before Lemonade came out.

She cancelled it

People also think flawless and flawless remix were singles too
I mean maybe urban

[Ash12345]

Lemonade-1.024m (in 12 days)
Anti-909,000 (in 4 months)

and rih actually had the better album , the way bey always wins

[collin]

Both of those were sent to Urban AND Rhythmic radio.

In that case, Needed Me isn't a single.

It's good. Really well-shot.

The story is so-so & expected but it's entertaining.

[chilicheese01]

One of the worst songs ever...? Literally what is good about this?

[Skywalker]

Alicia Vikander should have won her Oscar for Ex-Machina instead of The Danish Girl.
