There's more gloating and celebration than what her success is really worth though.

Yeah it's not like DIL Harlem Shaking its way to #2 on the Hot 100 changed anything. The BEYONCÉ release weekend was a real victory but this falls kinda flat. It only shows they were really bothered by the "no top 10" drag. So actually it's a victory for the haters.

From my point of view it's like

She had just opened the Grammys, the biggest promo slot one can get besides Superbowl
Her performance generated controversy, which of course made more people pay attention and stream the track
Only 150k people bought it, less than Applesauce, less than even Work Bitch

The song somehow goes to #2 thanks to Billboard's ****ed up rules and suddenly it's a hit.
No. It's outside the top 10 in the US and all other major markets, besides 2, on ITunes
Barely a hit.

And why is nobody talking about how the Grammys gave her LESS THAN 1% sales boost?
Wasn't she supposed to go #1 after the Grammys? Not drop one position like she did?
What is going to give BEYONCE a boost if Grammys didn't?
The album is going to keep declining and will struggle to reach 4m

So how is she the #1 chick in the game when she's not selling the most albums? When she is not selling the most singles? When nobody remembers a song of hers WW since Halo last decade? How?

Those are the answers I need.
And don't talk about her wealth, endorsements etc. We are not talking about brands here.

a top 10 is certainly not everything and there's so, so, so much more to bey than a top 10 but it's wonderful to have one

Does this apply to the Navy when Uncertified went #1?

I love how people used the top ten drag as a serious indiciation about where her career has been in the past few years, but now they're discrediting it greatly like it means absolutely nothing.
Get a backbone.

Of course, it goes both ways.

Beyonce getting a #2 on the Hot 100 is a victory for the haters.

I don't know whether to laugh at you or to genuinely feel sad.

hmm. That's a nice analysis. But I'd venture to say it's a victory for the Beyhive because Beyoncé has reached music Nirvana.

Single success
Album success
Critical success
Press success
Touring success

the only thing that was missing was single success. And now Bey has it.
Musical Nirvana.

Her fans and a lot of ATRL think those basics have much significance which in reality they do not, that's why.

BYE @ video views.

It'll probably end up having more views than Blurred Lines in the end, will that mean it's a bigger global hit?

Her global relevancy has always been overrated as hell and the way CRTFY is performing around the world with the help of a megastar like Rihanna speaks volumes. Let's not.
