Beyonce, for anyone who’s followed her career long enough, stands as one of the only ’90s newbies’ to hold more weight as a star today than she did ‘back then’.
A feat that many make the mistake of overlooking, recent years have seen the performer elevated to ‘living legend’ status in honor of her skills on stage- but more importantly- the military-esque campaigns that ensure she stays ‘on top’ even when on hiatus.
It’s for this reason many fans anticipate the launch of her fifth studio album next year, especially now she has been confirmed as Superbowl 2013‘s headlining act, ultimately giving the project no choice but to pull in ‘B’Day’ numbers come release week.
Now find out why she is already reaping the rewards for the gig, five months before it actually happens, below…
Upon sharing news of the gig on her official Facebook page, the post received 140,000 likes from fans.
This, forcing her five spots on Billboard’s Social 50 tally, which ranks the most popular acts on social media outlets that week by counting weekly additions of ‘Facebook Likes’, song plays, Twitter followers, video and page views.
Once the announcement had been made, Carter then welcomed an impressive 319,000 new Facebook fans in the hours following, securing her the #15 spot on the list which saw Adele come in at #3 and Rihanna hold court at #7.
An indicator of things to come for the Grammy winner, her ascent on the chart will come as positive news for brands hoping to capitalize on her forthcoming campaign, with her ‘Social’ stock set to rise even further nearer the performance (February 3rd 2013).
Let’s hope so. For, as the gargantuan success of Taylor Swift‘s ‘RED’ proves, strength in branding should always equate to strength in numbers- especially when that brand is as powerful as Beyonce‘s.
She won’t be as big as Madonna. She doesn’t cater to that wide range of an audience. She’s mainly r&b/urban with a few pop records here and there.
Actually Beyonce touches a BIGGER audience than Madonna from OLD to Young to 6 year old kids all know Single Ladies, from Black To White. No 6 year old watches Madonna or know any of her music. PLUSE Beyonce is GREAT to look at from the guys stand point she’s S***, Beautiful and has a Body out of this WORLD. Madonna NOT so much.
@MYA yes you better preach
No 6 years old will watch a granny takin off their clothes
LMAOOOO Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii #15??? such an accomplishment, this post is so un-call for. damm fossil really fell off and now scraping from the bottom of the barrel with the hoodhive. this is so pathetic yet sad at the same god damm time.

Congrats King Bey for being no.15 on the billboard’s social 50….Now this feat should get corporates to pump in millions of dollars to her brand…Is that all i’m supposed to say dear Samantha??
BUT SHE IS AT 15 IN BILLBOARD SOCIAL 50. WHERE IS THE NEWS HERE ,
WHERE IS THE ACCOMPLISHMENT. PATHETIC AT BEST
HOW MUCH IM LAUGHING RIGHT NOW . SHE IS AT 15 . AND THIS QUITE A BIG NEWS THAT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED . OH MY GOSH. HOW STUPID , HOW PATHETIC, HOW DELUSIONAL , HOW CHILDISH , HOW MANIPULATING
I AGREE…….
For once @ LAX
Why Can’t We All Get Along @The Navy & the @BeyHive???????
Anyway…….
CONGRATS BEY!!!!!
YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!!!
Kiiiiiii. 😉
Lets hope for her and the hives’ sake that the 13 minute superbowl gig does all the miracles it failed to do to all the other headlining acts that came before her…we are so amped for the superbowl 2013 that we wld rather watch King Bey than the actual game…
IF TGJ CONSIDERS RITA ORA A GLOBAL SUPERSTAR,THEN BEYONCE IS OBVIOUSLY A LEGEND ON TGJ……Food for thought Samantha,when a hot new urban blog with interesting articles shows up,guys like myself,faf,monstarebel,mc,s****** blonde,gilberto,rude navy,dossome,johnvidal,benron,lax and everyone else will leave your poor site for the hot new site…you’ll only be left with davidina and the great lacefronce (tgj icon)…..
lol! This!
Well if she wasn’t a serious legend already, the WORLD MIUSIC AWARDS wouldn’t give her “THE LEGEND” award back in 2008.
And as you and me know,
The WORLDMUSICAWARDS >>>>> You opinion
😀
she needs a hit…the only people highly anticipating this SB performance are black women and sissies (no shade)…..she has to crossover again…
🙄
She needs a hit?
What do you call “Best Thing I Never Had”, which has to date sold 2.9 million digital downloads worldwide?????
Why can’t it be just considered a “HIT” while in fact IT IS???
You know the world is ending soon when ppl start comparing rihanna to BEYONCE smh that s*** blows me…
I love when you guys write like this.
OOOOOH i see the haters got here before the fans did, TYPICAL! And yes, B is the only 90s girl who is still slaying.
boy stop madonna mariah usher are still here on earth you just tried it and beyonce wasnt even relevant in the 90s #STOP
LMAO these FAKE AS* CHARTS make me laugh! 🙂
I told you ppl the MUSIC INDUSTRY & MEDIA work intandum to support or DESTROY an artist! So Bey’s appearence at Bearclaw along side her “beloved” husband didn’t boost her standing on the FAKE Billboard MANUFACTURED Social 50 Charts a few weeks back 0_o?
Again, it never fails whenever an artist who is also a “MEDIA DARLIN” produces a CD, a film or has an apparence, the FAKE, BIASED AS* MEDIA begins to promote the hel out of them. A lot of money is made during the Superbowl. I guess they want to make sure folks tune-in to make all the money they can…LOL
***Beyonce is going to slay during the 2013 Superbowl halftime show. IMO But its interesting to note just how FIXED & RIGGED the Media and Music Industry actually are, and how very closely they work together to deceive the public!!
You are clueless sweetheart, the social 50 has always been there and tgj even used to do posts when rihanna hit number one on it, so fall back b****.
Beyonce Is NOT a LEGEND.
dancing on a table and jumping off it WHILE wearing HEELS and being PREGNANT 🙄 and SINGING at the same time.
She’s A SUPER WOMAN , not a HUMAN.
The World Music Awards awarded her “Legend” in 2008. #Deal.
Nexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxt!
Oh and F**k TRAILER Swift. The chick is garbage and I don’t care how many CDs she sells, or LIKES she gets on Facebook or rigged views she gets on Youtube. Her music still sucks as*!
Gurl I ain’t that fan of Trailer Swift either, but :
Her FART > Christina Brown’s discography.
YES SHE IS COMMING THE QUEEN OF ALL GOOD LACE FRONT WIGS IS COMMMMMIN TO SNATCH ALL Y’ALL FAVES 23$ BAD WIGS (RIHANNA AND NICKI MINAJ AS AN EXEMPLE),…SHE WILL SLAY THIS PERFORMANCE. *DANCES TO CHECK ON IT* YEAH BABAYYY
Oh, okay……..?
Can’t NO ONE see Beyonce!!!! Look at that Performance. Who does it like her/ NO ONE!
Watc hher fans rejoice when if you asked them a wek before this chart was irrelivant.
LOOL the difference is You won’t see Bey fans putting this and TONS of other minute accomplishments among Bey’s great accompishments because it isnt that big a deal. For Rihanna on the other hand, there aren’t many great things she has accomplished…
Congrats to Bey but this chart is irrelevant and useless
Next year is shaping up to bey Beyonce’s year. Good for her.
If them dam Rebublican get’s in office
we all are going to have to run like Hell!
“elevated to ‘living legend’ status in honor of her skills on stage- but more importantly- the military-esque campaigns that ensure she stays ‘on top’ even when on hiatus”. She can never do what MJ or Whitney did. Even in their passing we can remember and rejoice in the timeless music. Beyonce will be remember only for ass shaking stage theatrics and bull doze marketing and promotion. Hmm what about her music? Stage performance is only a small portion. What will she leave behind musically to celebrate. Times change. Stans get older and move on. She keep focusing on that ghetto ass patyaweave club music. But shell be able to shake that ass for how many more years until a new wave of young listeners dismiss her for being old crusty and irrelevant. Lol that’s right u guys put it there. Imagine a career that spans more than a decade and yet she’s made no significant contributions to actual music. Damn shame.
wasnt finished. so double post. stans are free to go in on me because I just did. I don’t care. But you all know Im right.
Well you clearly dont know much about Bey’s music…coz last i checked her last album had not a single club-esque song…

Imagine a career that spans more than a decade and yet she’s made no significant contributions to actual music. Alica Keys has. In her defense she tried with the last two albums but it didn’t take. Because on top of everthing else she’s ingenuine. The only genuine thing about her is that dumb founded look she always wears when ever someone presents something to trivial for her simple mind to process. “uh uh uh I am so blessed.” LOL ten years of that. She’s just a pageant girl operating on autopilot and collecting checks. Damn shame. I’m sorry stans, I aint never been no fan of this girl. Her vocals are alright at best. You have other people who have way better vocal talents and even though they may not be celebrated on the level that Beyonce is, they’re still better. IE Christina Aguilera baby!
Sam must have really wanted to do a post on beyonce, lol.
ALL HAIL TO KING BEY……………FOLLOW @DRB821
Im so excited for Superbowl! and this upcoming era!
The social 50 however is a b******* chart.
OMG, this “girls” performance SLAYED! When she climbed on that table and jumped down w/no hesitation or misstep I was like my o my. She looked stunning and KILLED the chorography preggers and all. TAKE NOTES on how ot perform and STILL sound pitch perfectt. Cant wait til Feb 2013
BEYONCE WILL TAKE OVER 2013!!!
SUPERBOWL PERFORMANCE FEB 3…
SHE SHOULD PERFORM CLASSICS WITH NEW ARRANGEMENTS..
THEN SHE SHOULD RELEASE A NEW SINGLE A WEEK AFTER (SHE ONLY HAS A WEEK BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE SHORT ATTENTION SPANS.. JUST SAYING..)
RELEASE NEW VID: EARLY MARCH
RELEASE 2ND SINGLE: EARLY APRIL
RELEASE 2ND SINGLE VIDEO: EARLY MAY
RELEASE 5TH STUDIO ALBUM: EARLY JUNE….
THEN STAND BACK AND WATCH THE BEYHIVE STING! IT’S THAT SIMPLE… IF SHE IS SMART HER TEAM WILL DO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS!!
I SMELL A 5TH #1 IF SHE DOES THIS RIGHT!
She has to perform at least one new song during the halftime show. What bigger/better audience to intro a new song to is there?

GET EM BEY!
Haters stop talking s*** because you are in fear. You know Queen Bey is coming to slay that ass Feb 3rd. She will have jaws dropping as always. I know Bey has been preparing for some great material 2013.
LOVE THAT RTWG PERFORMANCE!
they coulda kept tht
Beyonce is electrifying on stage so I’m looking forward to the Superbowl next year boo.
She needs to step away from the Photoshop. Since when were her eyes.greenish hazel? That’s Rihanna’s color..her songs are garbage ghetto garbage. The only thing at this stage she could do to surprise people is if she changed her tired image, changed that damn wig she’s been wearing for the last 16 years.
This product has assaulted our community for over a decade
has further damaged the already low self esteem of its target market
devalued real values like education and modesty
promoted materialism, supeficiality and hypocrisy (someone giving a lap dance even if its for a performance on a married man, in front of her father, is NOT classy)
is back to decimate whatever esteem that remains
Rita Ora too, to further erode our sense of beauty, define our sense of beauty
We are tired of this and seen that it has taken us nowhere but down, anybody still trying to build us this fake, lying, scheming, copycat just doesn’t know any better, has no understanding of history and surely does not know what it means to be a strong, classy Black Woman.
I’m like . . . a serious fan of her, but that “Superbowl Performance” hype is getting crazy, TBH.
*Gives a dead stare* nobody missed this lying king as b****…*See what i did* walks away
