People that are prepare to give hundreds of dollars for a concert sure as hell know the lyrics of the songs performed in it. What can't you understand?

Ain't nobody going to a Beyoncé concert to hear her recent flop singles. People go cause she's a good entertainer with multiple superbowl promotion and they want to re-live the Destiny Childs, "Single Ladies" & "Crazy In Love" glory days.

Come on now!

Anybody thinks that RogerWaters/PinkFlyod is filling stadium for his new music?

smh!

And the fact that they're self imposed limitations negates the fact that they existed, how? And you're feigning density pretending like Rise and Formation would have been in the same boat purposely ignoring all of the other listed points.

Moreover, it was released on radio.
And how did it fair again ?????

[Crescendolls.]

Jesus Christ. Beyoncé is a current act. Pink Floyd isn't. Yall are tiring.

smh!

it was literally called The Formation World Tour
and the tickets went on sale right after she performed Formation live at the SuperBowl

and your argument is that new material played no role in inciting people to go to the concert...

like...

do you actually think about the **** you say or do you just be talking to be heard

Lets not act like the hugely successful Mrs Carter tour was driven by new music. Tour sales will never be receipt for single/album success.

People on here are so damn thirsty getting giddy over something she flat out forfeited, pretending like there was no obvious glaring reason why the charts didn't reflect the popularity of the songs she released this year.



Formation topped every single female sales debut this year after 1) being permanently unlisted on YouTube, 2) withheld from Spotify, 3) given away for free for MONTHS prior you are absolutely out of your ****ing mind if you think Bey would not have had serious and longer lasting chart success had it been available across all platforms that contributes to Hot 100 points.

Nobody in 2016 smashes without Spotify or YouTube; Bey forfeited one or both of those elements for every single one of her releases this year and yet still managed to move 900k tracks in one week and have every song on the album chart simultaneously off pure sales and Tidal exclusive streaming.

First week sales

"Nobody in 2016 smashes without Spotify or YouTube"... So you're admitting that Bey didn't smash this year? Besides, Work reached #7 on the Hot 100 before it was made available on Spotify or YT.

This is cute and all but she could call her tour 'Beyoncé farts in your face for 10 minutes' and she could still sell out stadiums.
Ain't nobody looking at the title or her latest album, truth is a lot of people come just because she's a great entertainer, even if they only know the lyrics to CIL and SL.

But this is the case with most big artists tbh, no one I know listens to albums as a whole anymore. Most people don't even know what song is off what album.

You know it, that's enough.

[JonginBey]

Okay...?

[BubbleGomme]

It's true. So ? No shame in it. Bey remains successful regardless.

[chris1991]

It's true, formation has cultural impact but it wasn't a smash hit. It get what he's saying. Know song but not like a radio/musical hit.

[QueenBeyoncé]

And yet 2016 still belonged to Her. Getting some of the best acclaim of an artist career could have. She wins.

And still sold over 4M tracks in the US.

[Jaxsin]

He didn't lie. It was still her year so who gives a ****

True ... if you're quick lil singles artist, not so much for artists of Beyonce's virtuoso.

And formation reached No.10 during a more competitive chart period. You definitely need to Spotify/YT to sustain a top 10 chart position.

[feelslikeadream]

OK, anyone who could read a chart knows that this is obvious?

Cause If that was the case artists wouldn't have downsize their shows.

White music journalists are ejaculating in their pants writing about Lemonade and the end of the year lists. So what if some DJ doesn't use her song?
