Beyonce is her 5th studio album stop with the DC counting as her albums mess
It counts. I realized the other day that it affects her career.
From the GP angle:
They've been exposed to her for almost 20 years. Fatigue comes into play.
From the artist angle:
Her "thirst" for success has diminished because she counts her successes with DC as her own.
Hence her promotion (or lack thereof) methods as of late.
