At least their fan fiction doesn't have to be pretending that their fave wasn't in the pants of little boys.

This week,

14. Anti
33. Lemonade

No thank you

Beyoncé was the most successful female artist of the year in terms of 2016 releases. That battle is long over and she already won. Nothing that happens in 2017 for these releases will matter bc they'll both be overshadowed by newer albums. Are we really dragging Bey if she's not trying aka not putting her album on Spotify/AM?

Anti sold more, was streamed more, has the more successful singles, was more acclaimed and without grand promo or album and singles discounts. All that is known.

The question is why you keep acting like none of this is the case when even y'all know that?

Joanne sold more in 11 first weeks than ANTI.

ANTI was streamed more.

And to the Monsters, please stop. It's really embarrassing. The final nail will be put into the coffin after the Superbowl.

Scalped.

It is considering no one is buying her singles but buying the album. I'm a Gaga fan myself but the fact that she's still able to push albums at the same rate as Rihanna is quite good when none of her singles are close to Gold.

Weren't you the one just talking about excuses?

How is it that you don't understand that a two month old album that was released in Q4, that has been discounted multiple times already is selling only 2K more than an album that was released a year ago without any discounts and with no promo the last five months? All this sounds perfectly fine to you?

Not once did I mention SPS and ya'll are bringing up all these numbers That's the funny part.

Joanne is selling on par with ANTi throughout the first 11 weeks. This is a fact.

During black friday and the holidays, what a stupid comparison

Also sales are dead and buried

It did flop?

Over 1M free copies download in less than 24hr and 460 sold in 12 minutes from Tidal and still went on to sell 600k. 2x platinum. Grammy nominated. Spent half a year in the Top 10. 3 Top 20 hits from the album. A #1. 2 mult-platinum hits. It'll return to the Top 20 this upcoming week. and how many times did she promote? It must feel good to flop.

They're dying yes, but many artists are still able to push sales.

Is that even the total gross?

Considering that the album is in the top 10 of the biggest albums WW really shows you what state the industry is in.
So yes it's definitely a success.

Ok so the low standard for Rihanna are getting lower and lower each year

People still believe ANTI only did 460 in a week?
Whatever makes you sleep at night.

Where was your fav in Forbes' list those past 2 years?

LMAO!


OOPS!

Forbes?

It's hilarious to me that the Monsters are really trying their best to defend Joanne. This era came and went so fast, it's sad. The way her team abandoned "Perfect Illusion" only to put endless amount of promo behind "Million Reasons" and it's currently #64 on iTunes. Just go to her YouTube page. What is the official video count now? 4 videos to promote the song?

Let's not even begin with how the album is under-performing.

Meanwhile, a 4th single from an album who they try and call a flop is sitting pretty at #23 on iTunes without a video or promo.

The monsters and the hive just having a meltdown. What a tragedy

Bey not having her album on there is the only way she can beat Bey. I would not be bragging about that.
