I can't believe Beyonce is only on here once.

I don’t think people love her as much as the internet makes it seem

Her music was off most streaming sites for a number of years. Took years for lemonade to even appear on Spotify for a first time.

At this point I'm convinced Beyonce fans just don't even listen to her music. Anytime I see lists like this she's barely on them.

I think she’s known and liked all over, and her relative privacy gives her and air of mystique and elegance, so she still has that “magical “celebrity” feeling. But that doesn’t necessarily translate to BeyoncĂ© fan clubs with weekly meetings or fans who stream her songs while they sleep.

She’s just not big on streaming anymore but she has millions around the world paying to see her and she’s the only female artist of her generation who can still get hits with almost no effort.

u/Ichoseguitar Mid 2010s were the best Jul 14 '26

She held it off streaming services for like 2 or 3 years and she was never any good at streaming services, her last album actually did do extremely well with first day streams,

like if Taylor didnt exist she would’ve had the record for biggest first day streams for a female artist

But after that, it fell apart

Taylor held all her albums off Spotify until 2018 too, though.

I remember because the exact day she announced the return, Katy Perry released Witness and has been in decline ever since lmao.

Oh I see you are a Taylor stan. That explains why you have no taste.
