Jay Z grossed the half of it don't discredit him, and all main pop acts fan bases can make the artist bank about gross those hundred millions is normal for established acts

Ugh. She's so succesful.

....and you would know this how? You think the only people that go to concerts are stans?
It doesn't explain why her tour with *targeted fans only* is grossing MORE than the *real* global girls with both *targeted fans* and "the GP" on their side.

IDK... she's pretty famous where I live. Everybody knows CIL, Single Ladies, and even her flop Love on Top. Keep trying tho

Beyonce SEEMS like one of the biggest artists of all time... but when you look at the stats..

Incredibly on point

She's sold the least records this decade out of the "big girls" like Taylor, Rihanna, Gaga and Katy but she's as big if not bigger than some of them in terms of celebrity status

15 years in the industry honey, you can't expect her to top every year-end charts, can you?

Lol @ this thread. Knowles has everything: name, money, popular husband, producers, brand. She's like a factory, industry itself. Yet her sales numbers are not that amazing when you look at them and compare with her fellow pop girls. People are not interested in her as much as you think. She is ubiquitous in media whether we like it or not. She may not attend big galas or do many interviews, but her marketing team makes people talk about her family problems (which do not exist, we all know that), baby Blue and everything. If Knowles was an artist, her success would be far bigger compared to her celebrity status. People just don't care that much. I aint saying she does not have fans, but we non-fans consider her a factory. We go to her shows for a show, to see what's the result of the money invested in her tour, for visual effects. She can sing, not perfectly, but definitely can. But it takes more to become an artist. Knowles, so far, is a celebrity.

Girls, still mad because their faves are one trick ponies and Beyonce isn't?

No. 1 tours
No.1 Films
No.1 Dvds
No.1 Film dvds
No.1 Fragrances
Huge endorsements
No.1 on TIME
No.1 on Forbes
etc.
Your faves can't say the same.
Every area Beyonce has had success in

Well it's clear that her celebrity status got bigger this decade and you can't deny that. It's just that she's a very big celebrity when she's least successful in her career. And even in the peak of her career she was never the biggest seller, that's where idkher's point comes to play. She's had a very successful career overall but she's currently a bigger celebrity than a musician nowadays

She has sold over 200 million records. Named most grammy nods for a female artist in history.

Are we still mad that Beyonce has impact outside of the billboard charts? And your fave doesn't?
Some girls have it, and some don't

Grammys don't mean a thing, she records safe music, award-friendly. The thing is she never set trends when it comes to music, even her "iconic" Single Ladies video was not an original idea.

Go through my post I said she has a very successful career overall but that she hasn't been as successful as she was in the past this decade for instance using your Grammy example, she's only won one Grammy this decade compared to her 16 she had the last decade.
And she hasn't sold 200 million records 
Not even with DC
