The Ratings Are In: Beyonce’s HBO ‘Lemonade’ Movie Debut

Published: Tuesday 26th Apr 2016 by Sam
beyonce-hbo-ratings

With the masses drinking up Beyonce‘s ‘Lemonade’ in their (hundreds of) thousands, it’s clear the project’s movie component was a fruitful venture.

Unleashed on HBO this past Saturday, the concept short – which is based on “every woman’s journey of self knowledge and healing” – was announced one week ahead of its premiere.

Feverish anticipation ensued, but how many tuned in?

Find out below…

Via TV By The Numbers:

The release of Beyonce’s visual album/film “Lemonade” put up solid numbers for HBO Saturday, drawing a 0.4 rating in adults 18-49 and 787,000 viewers. It ranked in the Top 30 in the demo for the day.

 

Given the variables (see: cable channel, limited promotional window, and day of the week), the numbers are decent.

We’d be lying if we said weren’t wondering why Bey didn’t opt for a non-cable network so as to maximise reach. However, we imagine HBO cut the right check. Cha-ching!

Ultimately the premiere did its job in delivering respectable numbers, erupting discussion, and selling records. A win for all.

      Awwww poor thing. Have you checked her iTunes charting these last few days? 600,000 expected to sell in only four days. What are you screaming for? You found a mirror, perhaps?

  4. BubblePopElectric April 26, 2016

    Bey STAY winning! ??

  5. SMH April 26, 2016

    And here comes the spin for these pathetic numbers…

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 26, 2016

      THERE IS NO SPIN..SPEAKING OF PATHETIC NUMBER WHY AS ANTI NOT PASSED 450K SALES IN THE US YET..LOL

      • rosy3 April 26, 2016

      • Will April 26, 2016

        Rosy3…flopped single? You mean pretty much of every song in the top 10 on iTunes is Beyonce…and it’s a flop? And how formation is #1 on iTunes and Billboard said it’ll debut in top 10 next week…3 MONTHS after it was released…again…flop?? Damn. #youreaching

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 26, 2016

      What was your favs first week sales again? Don’t use Taylor or Adele either because we know you don’t Stan for either!

      • SMH April 26, 2016

        Doesn’t matter who my fave is. The point is your fave once again failed to attract viewers, and is predicted to sell less than this. So explain that please.

      • Rozel April 26, 2016

        25 million in the bank, and a generous gift to a million fans. If someone preordered and paid you 25 million for your work, would you turn it down? Rihanna best business woman in the game. 2016 and she’s making boss moves. By the end of this year with Samsung, puma and all of her other business ventures, she will be making major bank. Chaching! You all stuck on album sales alone, while Rihanna has already transitioned into a business mogul. Music is now just a small percentage of her impressive growing empire. She owns her entertainment company and masters, so at 28. This girl is set for life. Under 30 she did it in less time than your fave.

  6. Mariah The Legend April 26, 2016

    787k is a FLOOOOP. LMFAOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 26, 2016

      Now subtract 500,000… That’s how many copies Mariah last album sold!

      • Mariah April 26, 2016

        I’m no Bey hater but how is Mariah a flop? please stop with the foolishness. Mariah Carey last I checked that name is considered one of the TOP selling female artist of all time. Not beyonce! Please do not use Mariah’s current album sales. Please stop clinging to her bad vocal days because even Sam is praising her for her voice on this Tour and in Vegas.
        Just stop with trying to shade Mariah because at the end of the day she is NOT a flop.

    • Delores April 26, 2016

      Her and Rihanna are on the same team dummies… She makes more off Rijanna music then Rihanna does… Stop already!! They are both talented and don’t forget she owns ROC Nation… You sound dumb

  7. No favs, just here for the music April 26, 2016

    Beautiful photo. Now I’m humming ‘Hold Up’ ahahaha

  8. HailBeysus April 26, 2016

    SCREEAMINGGGGGG!!!!!!

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 26, 2016

      Same thing I did when I saw Rihanna first week sales for Anti. Same thing I did because Beyonce’s Lemonade will sell more copies in 4-5 days then Anti has in nearly 4 months lol! I’m screaming too boo!

    • Who gonna check me boo?? April 26, 2016

      A the her sixth consecutive number 1 album with a +500k debut? I know right

    • BEY>RIH April 26, 2016

  11. SMH April 26, 2016

    How is this a win if her first week sales are predicted to be less than this? #ijs

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 26, 2016

      Rihanna sales are less than Lemonade so who are you to talk?

      • SMH April 26, 2016

        Keep clinging to Rihanna to cover up beyonce’s latest fail. What happened to the million y’all swore she would do first week?

    • Who gonna check me boo?? April 26, 2016

      Are you really asking how an artist with a 20 years career span about to have yet another number 1 album her sixth consecutive one to be exact with sale from 500k to 600k in 4days is wining??? In the current musical climate where artists celebrate 150k first week this Bytch who started in the nineties is pulling massive numbers you all gonna need to stop hating and give her her dues.

      You all always forget that Beyonce contemporaries are not the Rihanna’s Taylors or Adeles. Her contemporaries are Brandy Jlo Britney usher and co where are they now musically.??
      Beyonce is such a queen that she is constantly compared to current artist because she is it as relevant or more than them.
      So again how is 500 to 600 k in 2016 not winning???????

      • Kris April 26, 2016

        This is nothing but the truth. It’s almost a waste of time arguing with Beyoncé haters. They just look pathetic. Constantly trying to knock her because their faves will never see her success again in their careers until they die. Bey keeps it poppin. She’s addictive. Sorry, Hun!

      • Rozel April 26, 2016

        Well she should be doing those numbers after 20 plus years in the game. It would have been an embarrassment if she wasn’t doing those numbers. Adele and Taylor swift still slay her first week sales tho. But you all never talk about them. But always trying to come for Rihanna. But besides beyonce? What other black female even doing what Rihanna is doing? Rihanna Don’t need to compete with Beyonce. It has already been determined that when you factor in worldwide sales. Rihanna slays beyonce every time. Rihanna is a marathon seller. Beyonce may be quicker out the gate but Rihanna keeps on selling, while beyonce fizzles out.

  12. TheBeysusImpact April 26, 2016

    Slaying all over iTunes as we speak ?????????????

    • Rihboy April 26, 2016

    Wasn’t HBO free especially for that try-hard abomination of an artsy short film? 787k? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 26, 2016

      Rihanna album was free too yet Lemonade will outsell it in 4-5 days!

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 26, 2016

      No it was not, HBO always offer free subscription when a new season of game of thrones is about to come on. Try again…..now has ANTI PASSED 400K SALES YET???? ASKING FOR A FRIEND.

  14. RICHIE_RICH April 26, 2016

    Don’t know if I that good or bad. All that matters is people are buying lemonade!!!!!

    • Kris April 26, 2016

      It’s not bad. Lemonade went off a week of hype.

  15. Rima April 26, 2016

    This b**** can never pull in viewers. I believe she’s buying her own music.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 26, 2016

      WHO DO U STAN FOR???? JUST ASKING

    • RICHIE_RICH April 26, 2016

      She isn’t Rihanna . Samsung said hello??

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 26, 2016

      Rihanna got somebody to buy her music who what’s is the difference?

      • Rihboy April 26, 2016

        I’m pretty sure Samsung came to her. They needed help selling their lame phones. Tidal needed subscribers. Million copies downloaded. Plus 300k plus albums sold. So regardless. 1.3 were obviously interested. Platinum album no matter what refutes you guys make.

  16. RICHIE_RICH April 26, 2016

    I will also say a lot of people don’t have cable tv as well. Most people have Apple TV Netflix Hulu. So I say the # are good.

  17. RICHIE_RICH April 26, 2016

    She is slaying iTunes for the gawds. The music is selling and that’s what matter!!!!

  18. Queen Barb April 26, 2016

  19. © Centurion (YEW KNOW I got the SAAAWWWWSE… Yew know I’m SAAAAAUUUU$$$$$$YYYYYY) April 26, 2016

    Wasn’t HBO free especially for it? Didn’t HBO advertise it all over Times Square? MESS @ 787k. I bet HBO lost a lot of money from this.

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 26, 2016

      Just like Rihanna is on her Flop Tour!

      Lemonade>>>> Anti
      200k first day>>> Anti less than 400k after 3 and a half months!

  20. RICHIE_RICH April 26, 2016

    It’s funny how most of the navy was Mia yesterday.. Now all of a sudden they wanna pop up lol.

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 26, 2016

      Exactly!
      Formation was #1 (so they couldn’t use that tired ass drag anymore). Album sold 200k first day and on the course to sell 500-600k they were pressed! Now they found some new shade which is weak. Album sales bring in more money and she is selling plenty of them. Mean while Anti still scrapping for Gold after nearly 4 months of being released lol!

  21. ???Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??? April 26, 2016

    I can’t wait until she performs “All Night” live tomorrow on the first date of the tour. I swear I’m gonna cry. ?
    ______________________________
    Also, she BETTER go super s*** and hard on the “6 Inch” performance. I have a feeling it’ll take inspiration from the “Partition” performance.

  22. IStan4Rihanna April 26, 2016

    I still think she should have sent it to FOX or NBC etc. and I was expecting higher numbers but these are cool either way.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) April 26, 2016

    Beybøla is not someone you should conduct business with. She’s only food for the music. Fashion, Film, Television… she flops in every single one of them.

    No wonder Topshop made a 50/50 partnership with her. It was to protect their own interest, kinda like a 360° recording contract, and they absolutely made the right decision as Ivy Park clothing are collected dust everywhere in the world.

    These are my very early predictions, based on streaming, sales and airplay estimates, for the Hot 100 next week. There will be an influx of various Prince songs within the Top 10 – 30 of the Hot 100, and the same may apply to Beyoncé as they’ll both completely dominate the digital songs list next week, which will shuffle the now 10 quite drastically but the week after next their will be a numerous backward bullets and most of these songs will fall off. “Purple Rain; Panda; One Dance” will all be vying for the #1 position next week.

    .

    1. Purple Rain 446 (+16)
    2. Panda 445 (-1)
    3. One Dance 444 (+1)
    4. When Doves Cry 360 (+16)

    • Metzo April 26, 2016

      What the 400 numbers mean?

      • IStan4Rihanna April 26, 2016

        They represent ‘data-bullet points’ – how high a song rises once sales and (now the most important factor) streaming data has been put into play alongside the average spins a song receives on radio.

        .

        I usually compile my own estimates of what the Hot 100, particularly the top 10, will look like in any given week. I do this on ‘Microsoft Database’ and I’m usually 83% correct on average, or shall I say I have been the last four months. 🙂

    I love how the article’s being released on the Numbers all say the same thing. These are solid numbers for Premium channel. Also the HBO Now and Go app was downloaded 1 million times in half a day. Hmmm wonder why that’s never happened before. Also their are shít ton of videos on YouTube of people watching Lemonade through Tidal.
    .
    Oh btw Beyoncé now has the #1 Itunes song in 40COUNTRIES. LOL!!!!
    .
    600 Points away from taling the top spot from Prince.

        That’s ok anti served its purpose. Of being a tidal/Samsung ploy. Pirated and streamed. The music is out there. And we all know it can chart. Seeing that work, the so called worst song had a 9 week reign at the top. Let’s see what song o bey spends atleast a week

  56. Theman April 26, 2016

    Mariah is doing great. She’s about to do a stadium with classic music. And she was out way before all of these mediocre chicks. Beyonce used a ploy to sale her album too.. MC has outsold Beyonce a gazillion times over. So GTFOH with that. Adele’s album is still selling incredibly well. She’s pushing 20 million worldwide. That is out of this world. Beyonce ain’t ever seen those numbers. Tf y’all talking about.. Make this album quadruple platinum & get her a few more number ones……

    She is selling all over the world with lemonade . I could care less what her HBO special # are. The ALBUM is selling. People are spending $18 for lemonade. Joke on y’all . The real question is can Rihanna do this?

    • Navy Captain April 26, 2016

      After a leak and over a million free copies I do think Rihanna could have had these sales due to the anticipation around Anti. After all of that I think nearly 200k is impressive in the current album buying world as sales have been decreasing for years. It’s very feasible. The albums were not released on the same playing grounds so it’s unfair to compare the two. I don’t think she would have outsold Bey but definitely would have had similar numbers and had her first blockbuster opening sales week.

  71. toeknee April 26, 2016

    Its still funny how the navy still talk sh1t here, the fact that the singles queen can’t even sell singles no more & her poor rihtards only afford $0 streaming.
    Everything abt ANTi is a failure>>>> failed tour, failed album, 0 income, carters s****.
    Am sure evrn beyonce controls riri career.

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 26, 2016

      But I’m sleep though…

  73. Gee April 26, 2016

    HBO did have a free preview weekend this past weekend if on the run was deemed a flop with 888k viewership 787k means less viewers how is this not considered a flop because it’s Beyoncé face it world Beyoncé is not going to win every battle honestly her name should have guaranteed more viewership just because this entire project was highly anticipated.

  74. B2B April 26, 2016

    Those number are great for a Saturday night. I recorded it so I am not sure as to how that is factored in and I’m sure plenty of others did the same. Really does not matter tho, the album is #1, FORMATION is #1 and at the end of the day Bey is slaying the top 10. This is how you put your FOOT on the competitions neck. If Formation keeps on it will go top 3 this week. This album is sooo good and Bey has made me so proud!

  75. Honey G April 26, 2016

    Those numbers are great !!
    I can tell you guys, I’m a french Caribbean boy and people all over the world tried to watch LEMONADE on stream sites but HBO shuts down every site !!
    The only solution was to watch on Periscope. Can you imagine ? PERISCOPE !!
    So don’t try hard with your hate because actually Beyoncé slays !!

      • Navy Captain April 26, 2016

        Idk why we still have this conversation with the BeyHive. WORLDWIDE Rihanna has sold approximately 200 million album and singles combined out of that 191 million are actually certified….Beyoncé 85 million albums and singles WORLDWIDE 79 million are certified. I will take Rihanna’s numbers over Bey’s any day. Bey has done amazing deals and has sold more albums and her bank roll is hella long but sales wise Rih wins…..NOW can we let these two queens co-exist??

    • B2B April 26, 2016

      But, they did care enough to purchase her album, while she is still alive. Cant say that for either of your faves. Go buy KIB its not charting on itunes at all!

      • King Mark111 /.\ April 26, 2016

        It’s #70 on BILLBOARD. Flopmation still haven’t charted… STILL. lol

  77. Hello It’s me April 26, 2016

    Lol I love when people here say that Rihanna is only a single artist and that’s the most important is to sell albums to stay revelant… Haha do you guys remember how many copies of Prince album Purple rain sold his first week?Do you remember how many copies of Marvin Gaye’s albums sold or Diana Ross or Madonna first albums? The most important things are the Hits people will remember purple rain, people will remember sexual healing people will remember I’m coming out, people will remember like a virgin. N’sync sold more albums in their first week than Beyoncé but I can’t even remember one song. Sorry if you think that the numbers you put the first week is what make you an artist, Thriller is the only exception. So please stop the b******* that Beyoncé needs hits song and keep in mind that one day she will have to do a greatest hits, as you can see with Prince after you’re dead it’s the only album that really matters

    • King Mark111 /.\ April 26, 2016

      What’s the #1 album this week? Purple Rain or The Very Best of Prince? What went #1 when MY died, Thriller or Number Ones? Whitney or The Best Of Whitney? Hits always matters, albums do too, but hits are what you’re known her at the end.

  78. WhosBad April 26, 2016

    Why does the Navy do this to themselves lol you’re trying to drag these ratings not even realizing this just makes her look even better. So her music sold off of people wanting to purchase new Beyonce music not “hype” or “promotion” which was the excuse you had cooked up in your little brains to use to discredit her the moment you saw those predictions, and can the reach with the 1 million drag stop, like really your fave can’t even reach that WW without Samsung becoming captain -save- a -thot and buying her albums. As much as the Navy brags about that 25 million dollar deal (which didn’t go all to her pockets clearly they don’t understand what a sponsorship deal is lol ) it will be funny to see everybody on top of her on Forbes next year. We also all know why the Navy likes to bring up Taylor and Adele they know outside of singles they have nothing else to try and drag with. Last but not least to the liars talking about Rihanna being the slow winning turtle cut the BS if she was a better seller than B why are they damn near tied in album sells when one has more albums than the other. Basic math skills would show you that that would mean Beyonce sells more album per album than Rihanna does kiiiiii if they always sell the same in the long run call me when Anti sells as much as seld-titled LOL

    Singles- Rihanna
    Albums- Beyonce
    Acclaim- Beyonce
    Tours- Beyonce
    Deals- Beyonce

    That is all.

  79. Anti(hives scared of R8) April 26, 2016

    Rihanna is not a big album seller but she can sell albums.Rihanna will never get dropped.I thought we’ve been through this.My question is “how much will this album sell in the end?”
    This album isn’t doing Taylor Swift numbers.What? Stall at 3 mill or 4mill. B**** I’m expecting 10 mill with all the sh*t the hives talk.She is all hype with big first week numbers.The pest always talking about Anti.Work #1 Anti #1 with free downloads.Rihanna received 26 million, it’s all good.

    • WhosBad April 26, 2016

      So what does that make Rihanna when only 2/8 of her albums have sold over 4 million WITH hit singles and tour accompanying them? How are you going to try and drag selling 4 million when Anti isn’t seeing it ever even with that #1 technicality chart position she got? How are you trying to drag Beyonce when she has had more albums sell over 4 million than Rihanna 3/5 (lemonade to be determined) ? Stop dragging your own fave and clinging to Taylor swifts numbers. (BTW you should really learn how a sponsorship works , her PR release statements clearly stated the money would go towards promoting the album, her tour and ect. I don’t know why y’all keep bragging about that like she pocketed all of it and like B didn’t do a 50 million dollar pepsi deal like a couple years before her lmao)

  80. Reb April 26, 2016

    Let’s be honest those number are horrible for the amount of hype and it being Beyoncé and all that’s a flop. Stop sugar coating the obvious. Had this been rihanna you’d have been singing a different song…. Smh!

  81. Joenysmith April 27, 2016

    Lets not forget Adele sold 2.5 in 4 days. N o one will ever do this again in todays mark only person might be adele but who knows. Lemonade is an amazing body of work tho my fav songs are All Night and Daddy Lessons
