“Sayonara Sony.”
If a report published today is anything to go by, the above are words ‘Apple‘ hope leave Beyonce‘s lips soon, uttered before she leaves Sony Music to take a healthy bite into their business.
Why Columbia‘s Rob Stringer may have a fruity fight on his hands if said report turns out to be true?
Details below…
After delivering her first solo album to the label in 2003, this year saw Beyonce creep towards the end of her existing contract with Sony Music, with whom she has released five studio albums to date.
Unfortunately for label boss Rob Stringer, her success with the label hasn’t gone unnoticed by their rivals, who now seek to convince the star player to kick the label to the curb and sign with them.
Enter ‘Apple.’
Impressed by the superstar’s unwavering commercial success since her time in R&B supergroup Destiny’s Child, the company are reportedly making moves to pull ‘Yonce over to the record label they are said to be building, gearing up to offer she and her music a new home.
If accurate, the company wouldn’t even have to enter the record business to add Mrs. Carter to their roster, simply coming to an agreement that would see her hand over the digital rights to her bops, making her music available on the ‘Beats‘ streaming platform, shutting out ‘Spotify‘ and any other service it deems competition.
Should Beyonce accept the reported offer, their recently announced plans to push ‘Beats‘ streaming service to every iPhone in 2015 would see her lose a friend in ‘Spotify‘, as music lovers hoping to stream her music would only be able to do so with ‘Apple.’
So,

WHO GIVES A F***!MORE MONEY FOR HER EITHER WAY..SHE STILL RICH AND WE STILL BROKE!
I hate Apple with a passion, almost as much as I hate the pest. But most of her fans are basic anyway. So a basic stan base with baisc ghetto anthems on a smartphone with a basic OS seems to fit. I heard that her and JT are done with their contracts, but most labels aren’t offering anything big because music is dust now. So expect deals like this being made for huge artist and more going a somewhat inde rout.
Huntyyy Beyonce got you mad on Sunday morning
Only one bothered is you. Hint you replying to my opinion. Oh well.
Always trolling on beyonce posts, ALWAYS! Something is very off about you and Lovebird. It seems very intentional. But whatever, it’s boring now….get that money Bey!
I’m sure I give my opinion on a lot of post on here. You just get upset when someone don’t agree with YOUR thoughts. Deal with it on your own time, not mine.
I said what I said boo. You and Lb(prob the same damn person) are always the first perched in Bey’s posts…TROLLING! Then get mad when some Hive do the same thing in Rihanna’s posts. The hypocrisy. I believe yall work for this site anyway but I’m sleep zzz
If so, then send me my damn check.
Definitely not that serious
#TeamApple
Since 2007…..muah 🙂
Somebody didn’t get any diick last night nor this morning!!!!!!! She MAD
You hate “the pest”? Are you forgetting that you are on a simple music blog? It is for entertainment so it is nothing serious. If a bunch of commenters (you do not even know) bother you so much that you hate them with a passion than you have some serious mental issues.
All I wanna know is WHEN WILL YOUR FAVE?
Lol @Mark69, you really are a lonely bottom, and you can tell you’re sexually frustrated. Why don’t you do what you normally do for dic#, and that’s sucking homeless man coc#, you dirty pressed f#g.
Where’s that sour bottom Sam gone? Lol
No Beyoncé dont do it. Aople aint worth it. But s*** if u do, you better sign a fat a check n I just might change this galaxy s5 to a 6plus….lol sike
Don’t down grade and fo BACK two year in tech. Lll
Oh noooo I hate iphones. I love my galaxy. F*** apple lol
Not arsed
I hate all things Apple…Everyone has it because it’s popular. I’m not a fan….I make trends I don’t follow them….
Shut the hell up. People have apple because they want it. I hate pseudo hipsters .
Shut yo broke ass up.
So I guess you’re going to be trendy by getting an Obama phone?
Death isn’t that what most Beyonce and Iggy fans have?
GO BEY!!!!
Go to hell beysus
Hmmmm no…. Jealous cause your fave can’t???
Apple is the most overrated brand in the world and Bey is the most overrated artist in the world so this goes hand to hand.
Hows Chartflop doing???
He didn’t lie h**
Coming from a f****** Lady GAGa stan. The irony…. The motherfucking irony!!!
Lady Gaga is overrated and overcooked. She is WELL DONE!
Kinda like Iggy sis? Sherry you’re a basic thot and nothing but a Molly/Mark wannabe.
I don’t stan for Iggy lol but I love to get under the Bratz skin by referring to her as the queen. I stan for real talent. BTW, you are the same person as applause, so I would appreciate it if you took your trolling elsewhere. #BLOOPBLOOP.
Applause? b**** please… I’m sick of b****** like you . Nicki shits on all your favs especially that t***** Iggy.
Nicki will FLOP on 12/15. Mark my words. Beat me in the sales post, don’t meet me there! #Gaga #Nicki #FLOPS
Is ArtPoop platinum yet?
Lol I own Apple products so if it WerQ for her it already Werq for me!!
Would it be her new music going forward or all of her music?
I’m a apple girl honey ..Apple Mac Pro , iPad , iPod , iPhone everything Apple
I love my Apple! I go all the way back to the first iPhone in 2007 and the iPod nanos!
Yassssssss
Does welfare checks pay for iPhones ? The HIVe are screwed.
my lord!!! That’s what I was saying, half the hive is going to need government assistance to get that iPhone lol plus those contracts for 2-years lol the irony n agony!!! Lol I swear they are the most broke and stunting ass fans known to God n mankind lol
If you already have her albums, would streaming truly matter? I only have one of her albums “BDay” – which is her best.
Bday is far from her best.
In your opinion, that may be true. But as for me honey it’s the only album of hers that I can listen to all the way through. Stephy is my boo, don’t come for him.
I agree BDay and 4 is her two best along with her first albums! Now those Sasha Fierce and Beyoncè album not so much.
I don’t think the ghetto hive will be able to afford an IPhone. Maybe the iPhone 3GS
Congrats! maybe they can offer a better catalog of songs. Maybe she will actually get that number – song she so desperately wants. They played her new song 7/11 in the club last night and the crowd booed the dj. She needs to put yonce in a coffin and go back to being just her. Not those f** bags around her. Moreover, and back to topic, Apple is getting kind of played out. Most I know who have Apple regret leaving android. Including myself.
You know damn well that didn’t happen …… They played it in the club Friday and the kids went crazy!!!!!!!!!
You so jelly Sis r8 coming
No they did…. It went from trap music to bey. In a split second the crowd booed until he mixed back. Ive tried to interpret the jobberish in that song but I had no success. I was looking forward to having a decent something to cling to until r8 came out. Oh well.
@Richie I went to a straight club and everyone was turning up 7/11. I can only imagine what it was like at a gay one. The gays love them some Bey.
@RihboyTheres nothing into interpret. It’s a bit fun, I mean I try to interpret the meaning behind umbrella ella Ella Ella everyday and that’s one of your faves biggest hits,
7/11 was garbage! People only rock to it because it’s BEYONCÉ. Had it been anyone else. The video looks exactly the same as the h** that dissed her. Low budget and filmed from a Boost Mobile phone. Bey needs to do better than that but she knows her idiot fans will live for anything so 7/11 is really an insult to her fans
Actually songs like that are hits by unknown rappers^
Well all my technology is Apple. But I don’t think She should do this! Compliment though. Beyonce is a sought after Queen.
Beyonce needs some better writers heard her 2 new songs and omg what a mess especially 711 lmao I can’t with that ghetto Houston Texas hoodrat .
Beyonce is just fine as she is.
Beyonce is not signing to Apple and she isn’t going to resign to another major. She is going to follow Jay-z lead and go independent. What Jay does when he is going to release an album, he rents out a major label promotion department and use their factories to print cds.Essentially he cuts out the middle man. They don’t need a label to fund their projects.
Not a fan of Bey ,Apple, or that s*** Sherry.
I love how you’re so pressed over lil ol me. I hope you put as much energy into purchasing your “favs” album on the 15th.
You look about 40 babe why are you trolling on this forum.
Stupid b****
How am I trolling LOL. You stupid idiot. How do you look? I know I am snatched, beat and fierce. Only a hater would state otherwise! *bats eyelashes*
Now poof, vamoose…son of a b****! 😆
If Beyonce does this it might be the downfall to her career.
A Kelly Rowland fan should know all about downfalls.
LOL, let me get this straight; so @FAG111 got the email that a new t********* post was up, he clicked the link, wasted his data, and typed a long a** essay to tell us how much he hates t*********?? LOL OK!!! 😀
Loooooooooool, I can’t.
He’s calling your fav a t***** and you’re laughing? you hive b!tches are a joke
@Molly, coz I know Bey isn’t a t***** which is not something I can say for He-ara or Aunty Art-artflop. She’s just mad coz Bey stays winning and that’s why I’m laughing so hard. #salty
go find get gaga a hit sis
I won’t drag u because I love cheryl. Kindly exit my reply box
I would drag you if you, and Manly Gaga weren’t scalped already
If you want to then collect them coins Bey.
smack it Smack it in the air. I say stay with Columbia, they respect you and they let you work at your own pace, though you do want them to give you better reasons to stick around. Apple just sees coins when they look at you, don’t fall for that, a beats endorsement deal, good, recording contract… NO!
I really don’t know about this. This is just a example of how huge and in demand Beyonce is. After all of these years, she is still here and a lot more relevant then these “Fashion icons” who are suppose to be musicians. As you can tell a number single and fashion hasn’t been the main drive behind Beyonce’s success! She has the talent and acclaim to be here with the young girls she inspired. on btw RihBoy is lying…lol We need a video of the DJ being booed.
She needs to cut it out with the lies
LOL I know they are so salty and it’s obvious. Rih taking too long with their album. She trying to take the Beyonce route with the secrecy but she’s under pressure and so are they. 😀
It’s A Big ? Mark with R8.
Rihanna is a flop
Stay with Columbia
Who cares She is a thief who can not outsell trailer s***
Everyone outsells Ciara though. You tried.
LMAOOOOO
LETS BE HONEST HERE!
Beyonce really hasn’t sold that many records as a solo artist over the years. Her second, third and fourth albums can’t really be considered commercial successes and she can’t be considered as important as Carey and Dion were to Sony and Columbia back in the day. Beyonce’s power has been in her touring and in her brand makertability which would probably make her an excellent fit with the Apple brand.
I really don’t see Beyonce having another major album in her career to be honest. But her brand is worth gold. Sony can’t use her brand the way Apple can so I would suggest she goes.
Are you on fuckingg drugs? I don’t stan for this broad but she is one of the best selling artists ever. By default. This is the 21st century, if you can go GOLD, you are technically considered commercially successful. Y’all think you have to sell 10+ million for one album or 200+ million records to be a commercial success. There is reason why all these labels and cooperate company’s want a piece of Beyonce. Because she is one of the most commercially viable acts STILL after almost 2 decades. Open your eyes.
B’day sold over 7 million copies worldwide.
IASF sold over 8 million albums and over 35 million singles alone.
35 + 8 = 44 million records. Not including her dvds and ringtone sales from that era.
Well clearly half of you all are confused on “singles” sales and “album” sales. You don’t ship out singles, they’re only utilized for promo and they’re separated from albums sales. You albums (CDS) in stores therefore you shipped them out you don’t ships out singles lol! It is possible to sell 100,000,000 singles but it does not always mean your album will sell that much RIAA certification tells you stans that if you look it up
In the meantime, ChartFlop STILL isn’t platinum. And Cheap Too Cheap isn’t gold. Oh well.
Don’t forget rihanna still lacks talent.
Gaga > Rih
Didn’t know meat dress and throw up was talent. Rihanna still HERE, where’s Gags the album seller? Even Bangers sold a million. Lol
Honestly don’t give a f***. Beyonce will remain a rich b**** while her stans remain broke and stupid.
Ariana platinum yet?
Everyone saying stay with Columbia don’t see the bigger picture. It’s about being independent and having control, just look at the moves her and Jay have been making. Traditional labels are about dead, she doesn’t want to ride with that ship. Why do you think she created Parkwood Ent., she pretty much answers to herself.
All Columbia does is promo and print her cd.
Beyonce should take the independent route. Her recent album proves that that would work wonders for her. She doesn’t have to promote. She has one of the strongest fan bases and it only increases as the years go by. Beyonce won’t take this deal she’ll be fine.
I’m beyhive and owned my own home by the time I was 20! Majority of the hive members I know work! They pay their bills and can actually afford to by an album past $10. The navy are the ones you see that are truly welfare queens. T***** prostitutes LOVE Rihanna,so please just stop! Majority of these hateful comments come from Loose Booty(LB)
Mark 111 and stans of lessors
Lol why are you lying?
What is there to lie about? Just because your bum ass don’t own your own doesn’t mean I don’t! Why are you mad? Touched a nerve? Can’t afford your own home? It’s called saving your money and spending the right way. Being a blog regular gets you nowhere! I used some of my student loans to do a rent to own if you must know..maybe you should try it,instead of hating! I’ve had my home for 7 years…So um yeah!
Lol I struck a nerve.
A) You can’t even afford a free Gravatar
B) If you have to go through all of the explaining, then it must not be true. I know multiple people including myself who have their own home in their 20’s. I just closed on mine two months ago and I will be 23 December 4th.
C) I wasn’t referring to YOU, I was referring to who you claimed to be Rihanna’s fan base.
Thank you I’ve bought my 1st home at 24
Do you want a cookie ma’am?
@HeHe Goodies
No, we want to see Ciara perform in something other than a bathroom stall
Black Queen
I would personally go with a huge check and deal from Live Nation. She’s building herself as an icon and touring artist. I see her going down the same road as Madonna and becoming the top female touring artist of all time. Either route she go, I’m on board. I’m open to whatever my Queen B does.
Samsung Galaxy S5 > IPhone 6
Samsung Note 4 > IPhone 6+
Samsung Alpha > Any crapple phone released
The Pest probably have Nokia Lumia 510s or whatever budget phone their 3rd world country has to offer.
This goes to show you how HUGE Beyonce is. But Columbia will put up a fight for her.
How can the Hive be from third world countries but are able to afford Beyonce a double platinum album in the U.S.? The navy can only chip in a dollar for a single tho…icant
Lol thank you! The Marines can’t even spell double platinum. Yet, they are worried about the Hives coins. Bish pleeeeaaassseee
You don’t have no coins
@Hehe Goodiess
Sorry but I don’t speak 67k
Bey! Don’t do it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Stay with Columbia.
Why is this news? A lot of artists switch labels after their contract is up. Mariah switched three times and Columbia/Sony was her first as well. Either way this b**** gon get money
@Hehe Goodies
No, we want to see Ciara perform in something other than a bathroom stall
You are so pressed. Cici just perform in dubai to a sold out crowd while you staying in a one room studio apartment over top a hood carry out
Rather than worrying about the Hive, you should have put this much effort into purchasing “Ciara”. Because it’s collecting DUST at the bottom of the shelves.
LOL! Not a bathroom stall! I don’t hate Ciara, but her stans are always trying it! You would think the b**** was Madonna or someone. Please sit down because Ciara’s goodies expired 10 years ago.
Hahaha tbh the bring it on themselves. The nerve of the one person army…oops I mean, the C-Squad lol.
Everyone wants a piece of Bey!
LMAO I doubt the hive can afford any Apple products. Hell the closet they’ve gotten to an Apple product is when Beyonce’s switches hers iPod on (whilst switching her mic off) at her concerts
So, if Beyonce does sign to Apple will you still be spending your coins on her? Lol
Pay him no attention. He purchased her album and stanned out on 12/13/13.
And yet the Hive got Beyonce to outsell, outgross and outwealth your fave. #Bloop.
We can’t afford apple products?? Maybe not but we can afford to get our fave multiplatinum albums!! When was the last time Rih had one?? We can afford 2 get our faves tour in the top 5 highest grossing tours by a female artist of all time!! A list Ms.Global Icon Stadium Status is nonexistent on!! We can afford 2 get our fave 2 have the highest grossing tour by a black person of all time!! A list Ms.Stadium Status is also nonexistent on!! We can afford 2 have our fave sell 33 million albums & 140 million records WW with 5 albums while Ms.Global Icon lags behind in album sales & is ONLY 10 million records ahead with TWO more albums!! We can afford to get our faves 11 month old album to outsell yur faves 2 year old one in less than 1/2 the time!! I don’t know why your talking when anything that cost more than 1.29 is 2 much for the #Rihtards 2 afford hence the reason Ms.Rihanna is lagging behind Beyoncé on every front except singles!!
Ain’t nobody got time for that novel
Clearly you do have time, since you’ve written more struggle paragraphs in this post than that one comment.
But I’m sure you read it!!
If was quetioning anyones cheapness it would be the the navy. The jokes about the Hive coins are dead. Especially coming from them. That $16 album just outsold your faves $6 one and the Hive can afford their faves MULTIplatinum album and gave their fave TWO 100 mill plus grossing Tours in the space of 12 years (outgrossing stadium status)…. Everyone knows Beyonce doesnt sell cheap. Sooo wheres the logic?

And yet the Hive got Beyonce to outsell, outgross and outwealth your fave. #Bloop.
‘
Correction, my taxes got her to do that seeing that you were using social assistance and skipping out on rent to go queen out to those ratchet horrible Beyonce songs.
Yawn.
LMAO Gurl bye, the hive cannot afford $16 for a damn CD, especially if it takes Beyonce ducking the competition and tricking the public to pay attention to her for 15 min.
‘
Hell you hos can’t even afford HBO, sit.
But they still purchased it either way>>>>_/
If the hive can’t afford $16 for a CD then how did self titled manage to outsell Una in 1/2 the time??
I think Beyonce should take it. Get yourself more involved with social media and todays marketing routes.
Also it looks like BEyonce got her GED earlier this year and that’s why it took her so long to release because she had exams.
Maybe this deal is for a photo-editing app that will rival Adobe’s photoshop. I mean Beyonce is the perfect and obvious candidate for such a product, for obvious reasons of course.
@Blue,
‘
Well at least she got through that GED, hopefully soon she’ll start her ESL classes.
SCREAMING at the read down Mark111 just gave the hive. The hive were queening to a below basic song like 7/11, but just like all her 684843843843 singles, it’ll struggle for a Hot 100 entry, hell it’ll struggle to top the bubbling under charts
The Hive is so broke yet…
Beyonce OUTSOLD Unpurchased (and will continue to do so.
–
Beyonce OUTGROSSED Diamonds.
–
And Beyonce OUTWEALTHED the s**** (who doesn’t even know when her albums dropping).
And they want to talk about money when the only thing they can afford is cheap 99c singles because in every other avenue their fave falls short against Beyonce. That is a REAL reason the SCREAM. The Navy drags themselves 99.9% of the time.
I think she will just go independent and do her own thing she practically did it this era alone.
Im not here for this Apple deal though. But it just shows how commercially profitable Beyonce is. You know, the success which is fundamentally based on fans investing in you.
I do not think Beyonce will agree to it IF its true. I mean at the age of 26 (the same age as another reliant puppet), she set up her own company (Parkwood). I agree with people saying she’ll go indie if anything. She pretty much did this era alone.
The Marines are obviously just mad because Beyonce is Winning.
Rihanna can’t keep up because CB beat her body so much.
And we all getting a cut right apple ??. After all is this a way of telling customers; we are getting insentives??
The Mrs Carter Show’s earnings>>>The Cubic Zirconium Tour’s earnings
“Beyonce”>>>”Unaflopagetic”
The only thing that’s good about Apple is that Samsung always loses their contacts and your phone deletes everything lol so don’t be surprised if you purchase that soon to new album and your galaxy crashes lol and you have to factory reset your phone lol btw Bey should stay with Columbia it would like betrayal if she left after all this time especially since that’s where it really all started
