Imagine if 1989 had streaming to bolster its numbers even further.

1989 US-only pure album sales: 6,008,387

But the propaganda led me to believe that Beyonce was the biggest artist of our time?

Yikes..

The point of the streaming ban was to boost sales. Adele did the same at first but she gave some equally silly explanation that I can't remember.

Maybe Beyoncé comes on top once we add the cultural impact?

I remember when this video came out and everything changed for Rihanna. Beyonce was SHOOK.

Once the second set of "ella's" came on with her in the silver paint I knew pop music would never be the same again.

[Alexz]

Sales don't tell the whole story, though.

Music changed after Umbrella. The world had never seen a music star so prolific and longeve.

This really did take a blow a Beyonce's career
This was the beginning of the end for Bey, singles wise
After LOUD, she never had single success ever again which is crazy since her first three eras had huge singles and random soundtrack singles like Check On It smashed

[Alexz]

How did Check On It go #1? Was it because of airplay?

The song was everywhere. I remember always hearing it on radio.

It went #1 on radio & sales.

Rihanna has never changed music. She changes with music though
