Maybe it's cause I'm not from the US but Beyonce being above drake just doesn't sit right with me at all

She already had 9 #1s by the time he debuted. Iconic music videos, renowned live performances, the first woman with an all-stadium tour, pioneering how music can be released in the 21st century etc.

Beyonce is a cultural icon. Closest thing to MJ as an icon probably.

I think that's fair, I think I maybe have a different definition of popstar to billboard/others though

like Beyonce & Jay Z together really struggled selling out stadiums 6~ years ago, meanwhile The Weeknd is like 15 slots down the list doing it for fun etc, whilst also having his music listened to probably 2-3x more than Beyonce in the last 10 years

Beyoncé just had another stadium tour 1 year ago, in case you don't know...

Didnt he drop on Monday so it is not a real 2nd week. It's half his first and half his second.

So this is is Beyoncé's "flop" tour? lol $310M... she's really superior wow...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Run_II_Tour

Five stadium tours now, sixth is coming

• Mrs. Carter (stadiums+arenas): $295.63 million (132 dates)
• On The Run: $140.29 million (21 dates)
• Formation (first female all stadium tour ever): $325 million (49 dates)
• On The Run II: $310.62 million (49 dates)
• Renaissance (one biggest tours ever): $579 million (56 dates)

massive #1 hits in the 2000s that everyone knows

all time classic albums in the 2010s

and her streak continues into the 2020s

Yea she deserves it

LMFAO

Yeah that's the one I was talking about, I remembered she had to discount tickets to like $20-30 on the day of a lot of the shows

I was wrong tho cause Renaissance tour made up for it & more. This plays into my theory about how touring is just way easier now than pre covid. Comparing those On The Run II numbers vs Renaissance is insane

Doesn't work like that. The tracking week ends on Thursday and begins on Friday. While he only had 4 tracking days in the week the album dropped, he had the full tracking week for the second week.

Imagine thinking it isn't at least arguable, we're talking about the #1 certified artist, most #1 hits artist here lol.

Beyonce has been a megastar since Drake was in middle school please be serious

Thinking Drake is arguably bigger than Beyoncé is the definition of chronically online

Midzy

And I say that with 0 ignorance of Drake’s certifications and chart stats

Nah fr she was already having hits when I was a little baby

Every day that user proves he has no real world knowledge about anything regarding music and just gets his opinions from charts and statistics
