No? I'm saying she didn't sell 200 records.
She did venture into the music industry in 1997 but she wasn't a solo act therefor the sales dont count towards her name or career. Sorry it just doesn't work that way.
Destiny's Child is not Beyonce and Beyonce is not Destiny's Child, it's really easy.

So therefore Beyonce has sold well over 200 million records since 1997. Thank you.

No, she didn't because she was in a girl group at that time so you can't credit her for those records.

[Child of Destiny]

Destiny's Child (album) sold 1 million just in the US back in the day, the album has sold 3 million after the release of TWOTW and Survivor Get urself together UWC. and Destiny Fulfilled sold 6.5 million between 2004-2005 I mean c'mon!


About Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, you CAN'T say Michelle has sold 60 million records 'cuz of DC, she wasn't on the first two albums, Michelle was part of the group since Indepenent Women (singles) and Survivor (albums). In the other hand Kelly Rowland has sold 60 million records with DC and 27 million records as solo so... 87 millions records world wide.

Seeing as IT WAS DESTINYS CHILD that SOLD those, the numbers belong to DESTINY's CHILD - meaning EVERY group member that participated in providing the product... and therefore NOT BEYONCE..

FFS.

the struggle with ANYTHING Beyonce. its ridiculous.

The fact that Lady Gaga has almost eclipsed Beyonce's sales in half the time is what you should be worrying about. . Not a foolish argument.

You can't say she's been active since 1997, but want to x her work from 18 years. Sorry dear that's not how the world works.

We're done here. Over 200M records sold since 1997 in her CAREER.

No, she actually did not.
Fact is, Beyonce and Destiny's Child are two completely different acts of music. One being a solo artist and the other is a girl group, therefor we can't merge their sales together.

Beyonce is a person, not an act....

[MusicandSoul]

Im talking about within the exact same time frame?

Within the last 7 years?

[QueenBeyoncé]

Beyonce, who started out in Destiny's Child before going solo in 2003, has cumulative sales of more than 29 million, according to SoundScan (17 million with Destiny's Child; 12 million solo). - Billboard from 2012.

To the organisations that count sales - yes she is an act. A brand. A product.

Her latest sold 3 mill or so. So its about 30/31 million in 17 years? Not that impressive - Mariah's at 25 years and is into the 150 - 200 million bracket..

Lady Gaga more or less done Bey's entire numbers in less than 10.




MESS
