You can't be the biggest popstar in the world if you haven't had a single WW hit in nearly 6 years, you might've been able to use the album excuse if it didn't barely scrape 3 million and of course someone will have a huge tour gross if they tour for nearly two years please 
Beyonce is not the worlds biggest popstar, Taylor is. And when Rih comes back, she will be too. |
Because they're the ones on the charts right now. But look at even Katy not being able to outsell Beyst. And it's almost a given Rih won't be able to do it (but that's a discussion for another day). All things considered, Bey is selling in-line with all the other major artists. P!nk, JT, Taylor, Katy, etc. All this without singles to get casual fans interested. That's a testament to her musical draw.
This is what I'm talking about. With the right push most any single can be a hit. Line up the radio slots, with the VEVO premiere, and the spotify streams, etc. But Bey has done NONE of that this era. She's letting things fall as they may. That was the whole point of the surprise release. And she's STILL successful musically.
She told y'all in her documentary, she told y'all on her tour, she told y'all on her hot pink lettering album...**** your charts, bruh. Why can't ya'll see the bigger picture?
and that's what matters basically
