Bey will be the 2nd female this century with 5 albums to sell over 2 mil in the US.
Bey will be the 2nd main female this century with 3 albums to be in the T40 on critics' year end lists, likely #1.
Those are very impressive achievements that I've been talking about.
Nuance and lack of total blindness about an artist can in fact exist. I mean, the Kats can do it, and I'm admitting that despite hating Katy.

What exactly furthered your point?
Quantifying achievements & ranking which are noteworthy (based on personal preference) doesn't necessarily suffice

QUEEN BEY'S ALBUM MATCHUP
Columbia's Beyoncé will once again top the chart with her latest release, Lemonade. Though it didn't have the sneak-attack jolt of her last album, 2013’s Beyoncé, Lemonade is currently projected to sell somewhere around 500k albums, 900k tracks and generate up to 45m streams. While those album sales represent a 19% decline over her previous first week, Lemonade is likely to come out ahead when revenue is compared, thanks to the addition of TEA and SEA.
Beyoncé, the album, was initially bundled at iTunes without the ability to purchase individual tracks. Streaming at the time was still in its infancy in the US. Neither of these components contributed to first week sales.
Lemonade, however, will benefit from both the sale of tracks and the album being available to stream at Tidal. Lemonade is also priced at $17.99, two dollars more than Beyoncé. Here’s the revenue breakdown.
Beyoncé sold approximately 618k in its first four days of release at $15.99. Assuming the standard 70/30 split for digital albums, Beyoncé generated $6.9m in revenue. Lemonade, selling at $17.99 and projecting to 500k, will generate $6.3m in sales. Lemonade, however, has the two additional revenue, um, streams. 900k in track sales will generate $810k in revenue at 90 cents per track. Tidal is expected to generate up to 45m streams for additional revenue of up to $250k. This gives Lemonade a total of $7.36m in revenue in its first four days, which will beat Beyoncé by nearly $400k

Y'all always looking for a reason to be offended. It's rare black artist simultaneously have this type of success on the charts, nothing wrong with acknowledging that.

TBH i expected a lot more but I blame it on the price & The fact that she allowed singles to be purchased.
BUT THAT ALSO MEANS FORMATION IS GONNA BE TOP 10

You did? Why?? She's had it streamed 45million times. Of course sales are going to take a dip.

Um, no, the prediction quite clearly says 475k to 525k in pure sales, possibly more.

Beyonce Could Be the Only Artist to Hit No. 1 With First 6 Studio Albums
"Lemonade" would be her sixth straight album to debut atop the Billboard 200 chart.
Beyonce’s on her way to making Billboard chart history with her new Lemonade album.
The diva’s latest release is set to debut atop the Billboard 200 chart dated May 14, according to industry forecasters. If Lemonade arrives atop the list, she will become both the first act to reach No. 1 with her first six studio albums, and also the first to debut at No. 1 with her first six studio sets.

Very disappointing. Such a polished effort. I know she pushed herself. Why does Bey think she has something to prove. She is BEYONCE. That is why her first visual album was just a MOVEMENT. Cause she has POWER in her name.
