WHAT KIND OF RANDOM ARGUMENTS.
Beyoncé barely promoted this era and during 4 era radio snubbed ha. Rihanna had both form of promo for Diamonds/Stay.
this doesn't impress me at all for someone who got +200m Al and make Pop music, Katy and Adele do better.
you don't want me to come with the album sales especially in US.

And Rihanna preformed Diamonds 3 times and Stay 2 times.

He didn't scalp anything other than spew lies and non-sense. When was "I Care" released? I didn't know Love On Top was pushed mainstream? or Party? or End of Time?  News to me and I'm a stan.

What? Are you talking about in America only though? I'm not sure about Stay but Diamonds was performed like 5 times.

and what about the 0.69 discount? that didn't even help it top the US itunes? talk about airplay oriented single

I'm so tired of all these threads trying to downplay Beyoncé's TALENT by talking about NUMBERS. It's illogical. These threads about Beyoncé are so sad. Haters on ATRL are on the clock 24/7 trying their hardest to one day hear a hive member say "OK She's not that talented". It's never going to happen, sorry. We actually respect and admire Beyoncé's talent, not the number of hits and shady tweets she has.

"Beyonce's $15.99 album has outsold almost every other female album (without discounts)"
You: "How many copies did "Drunk in Love" sell?"
"Beyonce's tour outgrossed every other tour"
You: "How many copies did "Video Phone" sell?"
Beyonce covered Time Magazine, was placed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Legends' section and dominated the BET Awards and the VMAs.
You: "How many copies did "Get Me Bodied" sell?"
Beyonce cured brain cancer today.
You: "How many copies did "Get On The Bus" sell?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have anything to offer this thread aside from singles talk?
Continuing to bring up singles in a discussion about OVERALL career achievement only perpetuates the idea that your fave has nothing to offer but singles...

Because she is the most talented of ALL her peers. By far. And the most consistent.

How is she above their dreams when she sells about the same?
