Because Lemonade is only available on iTunes and Tidal
And everyone thinks that better wasting their money to buy the album than subscribing to Tidal

Cause its the streaming era and Drake put his album up for streaming on all formats, hence why Beyonce cant outchart Views for her life

This. Not to diminish from her accomplishments but Lemonade is selling so well since it's only on Tidal for streaming. If it was available for streaming I'm sure it would be a monster there too.

sales=numbers
streaming=numbers

and you can't say sales are much more important when streaming is taking over.

Erm

17.99 > the pennies artists receive after the streaming services and record labels take their cut

And sales in 2016 are more impressive than streams

Don't y'all say Beyonce is the biggest star in the world?

You asked the question, not me. The Hive will probably have more threads like this when the BB200 year wnd chart is released and Views is above Lemonade

Right? OP is a mess.
Views remains slaying LEMON.

[MovinKindaSlow]

• Views can be streamed from Apple Music and Spotify
• Lemonade has a video for every song

and how do you know how much drake benefits for 100k streams/week?

and how are they impressive when his sales are below 50k yet topping the charts over bigger numbers? that just shows streaming power. keep your mind in denial.

Because there was a thread that showed how much artists receive from streaming on a bunch of services and it's not more than selling a 17.99 album.

And I never said streaming isn't powerful, I just contested your point that it was more impressive than sales.

No, your point is.
The most streamed artist last year only earned $2M for 3B streams.
That means 1500 streams = $1
But Bb counts 1500 streams = 1 album sale ($18 in Lemonade case)

I am just curious to know why an album with no big hits and with no promo outsells an album with two huge hits.

The Super Bowl? HBO movie? If anything Beyonce promoted more. Also Drake's songs are hirs because they GP make them hits. Beyonce just can't get them even though theyre both not really pushing their singles. But overall the Views era is much bigger, more talked abiut and will be more remembered than Lemonade

nnnnnnnnn the SB which happened 2 months before the album release?

[Erreur2 La Nature]

1. It doesn't matter and we'll see where both albums are in a year.
2. Views is No 1 every week. Lemonade isn't.
