No, she doesn't. The records she broke with the release of her latest album should be enough to reinforce her superstar status to the GP.

What records are you talking about? She sold less than Unapologetic or Emeli Sande's latest album.

[Lyrical.]

She will never be a successful popstar. 1 4.76%

Hm, I wonder who voted this

[stronger23]

No. She had no HIT with 4 & still sold 1.3 million & 3million ww
No hit or single with self titled & it slayed every ones fav

She had only one moderate hit this era and look what happened. Her album is nowhere to be found on charts.

Yet still sold more than prism, with its number 1s roar and dark horse (which, according to you is bigger than any song beyonce has ever had ). She's doing pretty well with just a #2, I'd say

[UnusualBoy]

She may need hits but it's not necessary, she's said she's more focused on delivering a good piece of work instead of quick singles lacking of quality.

[D.M.F]

No artist needs #1s, but Beyonce wants, and tries for #1 hits.

Why not have both album sales and single sales like Katy, surely that's more riveted than only have album sales or only have single sales?

[Ariel.]

Her album and tour is struggling, so yeah.

[thirdward]

Nope.

Who cares if Unapologetic is selling similarly to Beyonce?

Does she need hits? Yes. Does she need #1s? No.

The surprise release boosted her sales, she would've been near 4's numbers if it hadn't been for that.

[accelgors]

she's doing fine without them. her album sold more than the other pop girls in the US, so in the US at least she doesn't need them. she'll eventually lose some relevance if she goes too long without one but for now she doesn't have a problem

ATRL needs to understand that singles don't make a career.

FOR 13 years of his career JAY-Z never had a Top3 song as a lead artist, while Nelly Ville, Kanye West and 50 Cent were all collecting multiplatinum singles smash and hits after hits. he never missed Platinum (never had a Gold album) 75% his albums are multiplatinum. and he lasted longer than those 3 rappers (Kanye already struggling for Platinum 10 years into his career). He was even a King and an hip hop icon before Empire State Of Mind landed @ #1 in 2009.

so yeah, Beyoncé will continue to watch her peers careers burried years after years and in 10 years time we'll all be like "damn, guys did you notice Beyoncé outlast "_____" and "______" and "_____"."

n

I think he/she was talking about records like being the fastest selling album on iTunes

[stronger23]

Rihanna - 13 number 1's , 20+ top 10's. ONE number 1 album. K

[Summertime Love]

She doesn't need them and she doesn't want them.
