Lol.

[Stitches.]

well, I think this has been obvious since her "4" days.
For me, the last time she cared about it was during the IASF days.

She's been in control for ages really, it's just that it wasn't until 4 she decided to break away from the mainstream.

Are you saying that Run The World, Drunk In Love, XO, 7/11 etc. aren't mainstream?

[PULSE.]

"Beyonce has passed on more hits than you can imagine and no melody or famous producer means a thing to her. She is all about the lyrics; it has to be honest and raw."

Respect. A true artist

Yes, Bey so desperately wants a hit. That's why she's kept the "Formation" video unlisted and put it up for download for free for 3 months, following her Super Bowl performance. That's precisely what you do when you want a hit. Right?

Okay but during the 4 era she performed RTW at the BBMAs, Love On Top at the VMAs, pretty sure she performed 1+1 on some TV show too. And then during the BEYONCE era she performed DIL at the Grammys, XO at the Brits. Let's not act like she did nothing to promote her singles before the Lemonade era.

Nobody said that though. But it's pretty clear that she isn't chasing hits...

Beyonce's lyrics are the weakest parts of her songs, almost always so sloppy and clumsy!! And we know that at this stage she just wants to make the music she wants and doesn't think about radio and hits. But ironically enough she has a knack for wanting to work with the new HIT people (artist,writers,producers).

What is this mess

People on here wouldn't know real art if it hit them in the face.

I feel like she hasn't cared since after XO.
She really sabotaged hold up.

[robotdanger]

She literally said this during LIBAD. Bey doesn't even service her singles like many of these pop girls do, and she could care less about being VEVO certified. Formation still isn't on VEVO, and Hold Up was delayed for weeks.

Between that and the countless producers confirming that she isn't concerned about hits, what else do y'all need?

[Planet Mars]

It's been painfully obvious for a while now, Beyonce purposely sabotages her own singles performance, the fact that 'Formation' went unlisted that long, and 'Sorry' and 'Hold Up' took ages to hit vevo

But Beyonce has transcended hits and anyone who denies this is being dumb. When you can go on a WW completely sold out Stadium tour it shows that her audience is intact and will see her regardless of what the radio is playing.

Beyonce's most recent music also doesn't sound too commercial and she's 35 years old, radio isn't really here for her like it was 10 years ago obviously.

As Beyonce doesn't give many interviews any more, how much does he get to speak on ha behalf all the time?

I doubt that, seeing as the magazine is about to hit the stands.

[Trent W]

From all the artists that claim or pretend to not care about the hits and avoid promotion, I feel like Beyoncé is the only one who genuinely doesn't care anymore.
