Beyoncé is part of DC's legacy, whether you like it or not.
Why are you so pressed over DC, though?  Oh, yeah, you're a Britney stan...  Pure Beyoncé sales are still available in the receipts thread so stop being pressed.
I don't know what you're talking about. 
Don't you know that "real album sales" only concern a minority of markets in the world?  It's all about shipments in most countries.
Anyway, not gonna waste my time... The fact you dare come for anyone when you shamelessly inflate your fave's sales. |
Took you awhile to gather your argument but please don't deflect
I don't want to take away from your thread by excluding as a matter of fact you can add 50M more and that's fine with me. I just know it's not accurate and that's ok. You have stans that put her "total sales" pre BEYONCE era at 120 (including DC3) then after a few months of the BEYONCE era used 140 then 150M and now your current amount.
I need not say more.
I'm very well aware that Beyonce is part of meaning 1/3 of that legacy.
I stanned for all of DC3s eras and Beyonces first two so I would know.
While i'm on the subject Happy face and Fancy deserved to be singles. Bleep Emotion. that basic cover.
Back on topic. I'm not pressed about DC3 sales. For the longest time I though they were the top female group while I was a stan and deluded until the stats showed Spice girls and even TLC being higher in rank. I just think it's a disrespect and discredit when people use group and solo sales as if they don't know in the music biz those are two separate entities for more than a handful of reasons. It's almost like saying 1) your fave did good but not great so we are going to amplify or 2) your fave did great but we are greedy and want to amplify.
I wouldn't like it if MJ, Justin timberlake, Gwen stefani, Fergie, Will i am, Nicole scherzinger
did that either.
I would have been appalled if Michael Jacksons Number ones compilation included the Jackson 5 songs that went to #1 because it's like he would try to take over as if the others didn't exist and don't matter and that he was always a solo artist in his entire career and that's not true.
Bottom line: you don't have a real argument which is why you continue to deflect.
You LOST when a) you made an excuse for inflation by marginalizing it b) you then questioned a well established music business ruling because you are not satisfied with your faves stats and want to jazz it up a bit and that's fine.
I say amplifying more to 400M records I don't care BUT there are threads that are built on accuracy and I will give them credit and for those that aren't...I will use them as examples of what not to be
I want to say that I can somewhat respect that you admit your inflations but your logic comparing features/coolabs to solo vs individual and the stale drag of using my stanning for britney doesn't really say much when im not the OP of her receipt thread and I never go higher than what multiple credible sources use as their figures AND the thread run by Anticipating uses the low figures not the highest figures.
Please understand that you came when I didn't send for you tripped up on a wire admitting your stats include inaccuracies...don't deflect when I was a fan of Beyonce from 1998-2008 and I'm not reporting the receipts as inaccurate. I encourage you to continue to inflate your sales...
I just won't use it as an example when I refer to bases that are fair and accurate with their faves statistics
Cheers, Beyonce did a great job at the festival by the way. Let me make nice nice after I split, shifted and snatched.
