No, just like Nicole Scherzinger's sales shouldn't include PCD sales (if that was ever an issue)

If Destiny's Child was all about Beyonce, like everyone loves to say, there's no reason why their success shouldn't be a credit to her too.

[King B]

Well since Beyoncé is the one singing most of the songs on the albums, why not?

!!!!!! Like, thread after thread all day. It's funny really.

Anyway, do I think it should be counted unconditionally? No.

If you're talking about the sales of a particular act, then, no -- DC and Bey are two separate entities; however, if you're talking about CAREER sales, in that case yes. Beyonce's career didn't begin with DiL.

[lpd446]

No they shouldn't count.

So you're saying that Kelly and whatsherface shouldn't be credited for the ~40 million albums sold as well?

So can we say Michelle Williams has sold 30m+ albums? Can we say Melody Thornton sold 15m albums? Can we say Lance Bass sold 50m+ albums?

No, because Michelle wasn't in DC the entire time

I see no problem with that in theory even though DC= Beyoncé featuring local acts.

maybe I mean Beyonce did write and produce all of their songs so why not

[Brando]

No it shouldn't. Just like Paul McCartney isn't the biggest selling artist of all time because we don't add Beatles sales to his solo career sales.

The actual list of best selling artists is like this:

1. The Beatles
2. Elvis Presley
3. Michael Jackson.


But if we did, then the top 5 best selling acts of all times would look like this:

1. Paul McCartney
2. John Lennon
3. Ringo Starr
4. George Harrison
5. The Beatles

I hope this makes it all very clear.

When assessing her career total yes...otherwise she's only released 4 albums.

But the girls will say no cuz it's same question as asking: "Should Beyoncé be more successful than your fave".

[rihannabiggestfan]

Lol. no

[Shinning]

If DC's albums are factured on her metacritic score then her album sales should definitely also include DC's.

[Underdogs]

Any logical person would say No.

what else is new though? and idc either way her receipts are good with or without DC. although it's funny how people love to bring up the fact that she started in DC when it benefits them and when they're trying to shade her but somehow ignore that fact when it comes to her sales

They are just pressed that when its all said and done beyonce will end of selling more than their favs

[MrPeanut]

Scherzy should get credit for those PCD sales, too. She was PCD. Someone needs credit for those sales.

[Kisuke]

She gets payed for every single unit of the 39 million they sold and billboard counts them so yes.
They are hers

[toanythingtaboo]

Do people include DC's sales with Kelly or Michelle? No.

There's your answer.

[Queen Xtina]

Yes, same for Kelly.

But no for Michelle since she wasn't there from the start.

[Sunshine.]

And as for mentioning the other gurls...only Kelly has the right to claim the groups sales as well. She and Bey have been the only ones in the group from beginning to end.
