Youtube views have been growing A LOT exponentially every year. Only a few smash hits from 2008-2010 have views higher than 500M. But they still had very huge number of views relatively back then. So we can say that almost any smash hit from those years will look tragic because they seem 'new', but they have much less number of views in comparison with recent smashes. Like BEP's hits and Gaga's earlier hits.

Bey's could be a lot better. I'm surprised that Yong has more views than most of self titled videos (including ***Flawless which was a huge song on the internet). I'm also surprised that XO insnt certified yet.

Ya Bey 's views prescription run the world were actually really bad. But then run the world saved her streaking power and other songs got more views after that. Self titled did not get many views because there were too many videos released at once

True. I wish there was a way to inflate mv views for 2015 standards on those older music videos. Like they do with tour grosses

Beyoncé - Party, 52m

I know it was a flop but so were Countdown (84m) & Dance For You (72m)

most of ST's videos [including ***Flawless] were released all at once a year after the album came out, remember? Partition would have crossed the 100M mark long ago [as it was gaining at a rapid pace bc it was sorta controversial] but it got flagged on YouTube for months. Only one w/ disappointing views is XO but that's bc the song bombed. PH did well considering it was cancelled as a single and was never pushed at all.

How can Gaga's views be tragic? She has 6 videos that are over 200m+ views and almost all of her videography is vevo certified and over 3 Billion views on her channel.

Y'all are weak

[Bounce]

Kesha's are really tragic tho, only one video over 100m views?

[Raphy23]

All the Canadian acts that only release music to Canada. Some music videos don't even make 1million views.

Pause. XO was swallowed by Drunk in Love, not promoted with the exception of the Brit awards and subsequently bombed; how is it surprising that it's not certified?

The ST videos were unceremoniously thrown on YouTube a year after the album was released; plus most of the demographic that would be driving recurring clicks already owned the album which automatically came with all the videos already. Pretty bad example.

All in all, Bey is a much stronger and consistent streaming artist than most of her pre-digital era debuting peers. Bey's Vevo is currently #9 overall with 4.13 billion cumulative views, 13 certified videos (would be 14 if her team weren't flops and put the first upload of 7/11 on her Vevo and not her personal) with another handful between 85-99 million so she will be closer to 20 certified within a few months.

The only major pop girls with bigger overall video views are Rihanna, Taylor, Katy and Shakira (who has the huge Latin American driven views like Enrique Iglesias). The vast majority of Bey's peers from her era -- Britney, Alicia, Justin, Usher, Christina, Pink aren't anywhere close to her views. The only one stronger is Eminem.

Even comparing to some artists that blew up at the height of the digital era, Bey is stronger -- like Gaga for instance. Comparing 4 era to BTW era videos (Bey's "flop" era vs. a successful Gaga era and all of the videos were uploaded within the same time period 2/3rd quarter 2011), Run The World, Love on Top and Best Thing I Never Had all have more views than Born This Way -- a massively promoted #1 hit.

Far from tragic, boo.

Basically just about everyone who peaked pre-Vevo has middling to tragic views compared to current hits.

omg dont do my country like that sis. let the secret of our nation stay unknown

[Lights and Waves]

Y'all are so defensive. Do Vevo views actually matter that much?

[hot mess]

68,423 views

[keerbyriri]

All of the local pop stars have low views.

[prunejuicemontes]

Madonna. It's really a mess though. Some songs are on VEVO, others on madonna, some blocked in countries, some not even uploaded, etc.

She should've just uploaded them all on her channel.

[PhreshDiamond]

Beyonce's are very tragic :/ kesha's aren't great either
