The songwriters and producers get paid UPFRONT and will get royalties down the line, probably already are since the album sold so well.
Beyonce has writing credits on her music, meaning she gets paid, duh!
Macklemore still pays iTunes a cut, a bigger one than Beyonce I bet. Beyonce made her album through her own company, Columbia gets a baby cut.
And EVEN THEN, BEYONCE still will profit like 9x what Thrift Shop will, meaning she will win.

You don't know ****
The hive needs to quit with this mentality that hit singles mean nothing anymore. Those hit singles are what sold Beyoncé as an artist in the first place

And lets not pretend Bey wrote any of these songs
r u talking about the 14 songs she has writing and production credits on?
BEYONCE has already made more revenue than a 7x plat single.

noun
1.
income, esp. when of a company or organization and of a substantial nature.
synonyms: income, takings, receipts, proceeds, earnings, sales.
This is so stupid. With an album, you get money from sales mainly and barely anything else.
With a massive hit, you get money from sales, airplay, usage in movies/tv, streaming, covers, youtube views etc. Many one hit wonders spend their lives living off royalties of their one hit.
It's very possible that Beyonce has already made more money, but if you wanna make a comparison don't be ridiculous by claiming singles only make money from sales.
