The hive is so pressed that Rihanna managed to adapt with the spotify market while Beyonce is too afraid to release there like even my friend who has never bought a song in her life was using Spotify the other day...

Yes Frrrrih!!1 but in the current year, Rihanna's music is more popular than Beyonce's.
Like already a billion streams this year don't lie

Lemonade has moved in pure sales what ANTI has moved in album equivalents WW and Lemonade is far from over

Rih has only been bigger this year because of the other singles she's featured on (This Is What You Came For, Famous, Nothing's Promised) and her upcoming hit, Too Good.

Just like Drake is the bigger artist in 2016, Rihanna is the one with by far the bigger charting history. However, being a feature is not the same as being the lead artist.

If he was the one singing 75% of the song including the euphoric tropical chorus which made the song a hit, I would wholeheartedly agree.

Up until then, this is really not a good look for you.

One Dance is going to be top 5 YE, if not #1, and his album will be 4x Platinum just in the U.S. Work wouldn't have been half as big without him.

singles singles.... singles

why aren't these singles selling the things they're meant to sell?

Amalie Arena Tampa, Fla. March 13, 2016 $773,994 10,079/12,905 (78%) 1/0

and HDD said the European tour will be an even bigger bomb

only like 4? sold out dates so far and she had the biggest song in the country for 9 weeks

only like 400k sold in the US and she has 3 singles out right now

I'm not saying Beyonce wouldn't have done good, I'm just stating what it is. If Rihanna would be over in 2016, her music wouldn't be popular. You can't call a woman that gets a billion streams (only counting Spotify) after being in the industry for 11 years, over. It just doesn't make sense.

The US tour will do 40 million from 40 dates... Definitely not flopping

I didn't ask why she's bigger, I just said she is. I don't need reasons, all I know Rihanna is not over and her music is still big.

How much of Lemonade's sales came from outside of the US? Wasn't it like 20-30%

Work, Needed Me, LOTB all alone would've all been enough for the Anti era to be bigger than the Lemonade era this year. It just helps that Rih's features take off. That doesn't happen with every artist.

[bijonse]

yeah, its kinda stupid to assert that beyonce would be doing awful had she made the songs available to stream considering she's one of the biggests artists on spotify from just her back catalogue (ST was put on Spotify a year late and it still has great streams)

[Ramos]

The fact that Rihanna has 4 songs higher than Beyuki's highest charting single in the Hot 100.

[bijonse]

the US and EU dates combined will not surpass beyonce's IAWT from 2009 from back when tours weren't as successful as they are now

[Ramos]

Poor Beyuki.

Has he also moved 200 million songs worldwide?

Someone send this user to Rih's receipts thread This is so embarrassing.

Lemonade is around 980k in the U.S. and over 1.5M WW.

ANTI has moved 750k WW and around 1.5M with album equivalents, including VEVO. Beyonce has moved over 1.8M with album equivalents.

If Beyonce would release on Spotify/VEVO, her album sales might drop, but she would crush Rih without a hit

When the only department you're winning in is one the other isn't even on then you def. are not the more popular one

Nobody has.

Remember this space. Everything I've said about Gaga will slowly start coming true. If she underperforms with this new album, y'all are going to see the real Gaga, a Gaga you won't expect even in your worst nightmares.

Yeah those Rihanna numbers are fraudulent. They include streaming and are massively inflated
