Queen's album sold 3 million albums less when compared to a Taylor or Dele. Why? I'd like to know do the other Hive members have a reason?

'fas already works twice or thrice as hard for not nearly as much recognition or sales.

Meh

Y'all kinda need to let this go.

Kween gets recognition from literally everybody and is one of the best selling artists of all time.   


Even more so than a lot of whites. She gets praised downe.

This is the craziest thing. She literally bends over backwards, looks like Tyra Banks and will give you Lalah Hathaway vocals. Does videos for every damn song, and ends up doing a measly fraction of what Taylor Swift, Adele or Katy Perry sell.

She did all the big Award shows. And had massive marketing money spent on her projects. I saw banners and mess.

Just cause she ain't sat her ass on Jimmy Kimmel or Hot 97, doesn't mean she did not have a big machine.

Beyonce has done 12 million solo.
Taylor 26 million.

Both of them have 5 albums under their belt.

Again. 'fas works twice as hard , for half the sales.
and half is being generous. because it's a bit less than that.

I just don't get the obsession some of y'all have with r&b artists selling more :dead:

As long as great music is out there (which it is), why does it matter that other audiences don't use?

I think part of the issue is, that acts like Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Adele or Sam Smith who take from that music and come from that world are ruling music. And it seems for no warranted reason.
adele's music is better than Beyonces. It's simple :dead:

And a lot of blk ppl were going up and UP for Sam Smith. Didn't Mary duet with him :dead:

Yawl gotta start looking internally before saying, it's the whites that don't support or sabotage black artists.

Black ppl don't support themselves tbqfh

ForTheLoveofKellz

Katy calls up Dr. Luke does a few sessions, DONE.
Adele has her songwriter friend and they are finito.

Beyonc? has to fly in a whole armada of writers, steal ideas from people from the deserts of Sahara, and so forth

LOONA.

It seems that your problem is accepting that Taylor is a bigger album seller than Beyonce.

You don't have to search far for the proof of that. Just visit RIAA.

Let go of the stanning just for a couple minutes and observe the obvious :dead:

So are you saying that had she promoted properly she would've sold more? I'm remembering a time in 2008 when Matt had Queen literally every fucking where doing this and that and she still ended the year selling less than Taylor flat booty self. I'm not taking anything away from who she is because we know she's the best but she's not as good ass these white bitches if we going based on sales. She can get all the praise and recognition she wants but if she ain't selling the same as her white counterparts then it's irrelevant. No reason Bey shouldn't be on par with Taylor and Adele sales wise. She's the biggest artist out.

Y'all don't see it but I do. Especially when that dyke was awarded Woman of the Year by Billboard in 2014 when Beyonce was dominating.

Herb.

And Drais, worldwide sales would kind of be irrelevant in this discussion since we're talking about how hard it is for black artists in America, as far as appealing to people in a white dominated, white supremacist country goes. The bottom line is that Taylor is always going to be more accepted. And that's not Beyonce's fault, so you shouldn't feel any type of way about that. It's not an insult because its beyond her control.
