Is that why her tour is the 4th grossing female tour of all time. And she grossed over $300M in a year? Then why is Beyonce the most nominated female artist in grammy history? Why does Beyonce have 5 back to back #1 albums? Why is Beyonce the 2nd most awarded artist in VMA history? Why can Beyonce drop an album out of the blue with no single, no warning no nothing and it tops 111 countries on iTunes and went on to become the fastest selling album in itunes history? Is that why she sold over 100 million singles?

I'm not saying that she hasn't achieved a lot with her music career. She has. I know that. She's extremely successful, and like I said, I'm not shading her.... I love her. I stan for her. I agree with everything you're saying. But regardless, how many people are aware of all these achievements? Look at someone like Adele. She's well-known for having a huge album and hugely successful singles and a divine voice, because she's a musician. That's all she does. Beyoncé, however, does a tremendous amount of things. She's a singer, she's an actress, she was voted People's most beautiful woman a few years ago, I mean... She does a lot. She's famous for being Beyoncé. Yes, she's achieved success with her music, and she's undoubtedly one of the most successful recording artists of our generation, but I'm just saying that overall the general public acknowledges her more as a celebrity than an artist because she's Beyoncé.

Nope, a lot of people I know are like, "What does Beyoncé even sing?"

I love her but here she's just famous for being Beyoncé (which is a huge achievement already). She's (overall) really sucessful music-wise anyway so I wouldn't take it as shade.

Exactly! Great minds think alike!

The fact that they need to make "assumptions" just to drag her instead of cold concrete facts is quite telling.

[Lyrical.]

It's just something ATRL tries to use as shade, it's pretty funny that that's all they can come up with.

[Ressti]

"What does Beyoncé even sing".... ... Hmm, idk... some of the biggest radio hits of all time maybe?

Please post more y'all.

Obviously in the US everyone knows that she sings, but in other countries there is a lot of people that come with those kind of phrases. She needs to start getting hits so people know that she sings in other countries.

Robin Thick and Pharrell had thee biggest hits in the past 5 years... How are their albums doing again? Oh.

[Lord Blackout]

No matter how many receipts you post, it still doesn't take away from the fact that she as a celebrity has more universal appeal than her music which is generally unknown.

[Cupcake.]

I feel as if her catalogue wont be as remembered as her brand. Much like Janet Jackson.
She hasn't done anything for the music industry like Britney, Christina, Madonna and the rest of her peers have.

[Adele Addict]

^ Right! I don't know why Beyoncé's fans are getting so pressed about this. I'm not saying she's not known for her music, but the general public as a whole recognizes her as being famous for being Beyoncé than for anything specific she's done in music, regardless of the impact she's had. I mean... Other than her fans, you don't hear people saying, "Oh, Beyoncé is the most Grammy-nominated woman of all-time!" It's not something that people know about. Practically everyone loves Beyoncé just because she's Beyoncé, but not everyone loves her music. Does that make sense? I'm not taking anything away from her as an artist, but the general public doesn't necessarily acknowledge all of her achievements as a musical artist as opposed to her celebrity status.

[LeonaSlays]

Her name is bigger than her sales. It's as simple as that. Media hype does that from time to time.

But Beyonce has outlasted those 2

And still having big success in music and still go platinum and has be honored in music more than Britney and Christina.

But she earned that celebrity status coming up off of her music, voice and performances, yes? She has all the talent to back up the praise, love and attention she gets. The people you guys are trying to compare her to don't. None of you make any sense.
