Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’ Becomes 2016’s Only Female Album To Hit Platinum – In Sales

Published: Friday 3rd Jun 2016 by Sam

With the streaming era undeniably upon us, the music landscape is changing at a rapid rate. Case in point, the fact online plays now factor into chart positions and certifications.

Still, there’s a certain prestige attached pure sales – especially for artists fortunate enough to wrack up sizeable portions.

Beyonce is proving to be one of the acts at the forefront of this pack, particularly with her latest effort ‘Lemonade.’

Find out why below…

According to Hits Daily Double, the visual album sold 58,000 in pure sales in the most recent tracking week. A number that rises to 83,000 when factoring its TIDAL-exclusive streams.

The feat brings its total US sales over the 1 million mark (to be exact, 1,053,971) With SPS, it’s 1,486,221.

In reaching this major milestone, ‘Lemonade’ becomes the the first and only album by a female artist released in 2016 to go platinum in pure sales. It’s also part of a super elite list of releases, from any gender, to enjoy success – the most notable other being Drake’s ‘VIEWS.’

Whether the head of the BeyHive or her most stinging critic, it’s imperative to give credit where due. And there’s no doubt it’s due. Especially in a climate where phone companies are helping lacking acts buy Platinum plaques.

Congrats Bey!

      • BADDIEBEYMYFAV June 3, 2016

        Beyonce’s bank account still slays Adele tho!?

      • Rihboy June 4, 2016

        She stand for any fan bases she don’t want to rumble with. ? Artist as such are cordial to anyone. It’s smart. Now if you are like Mariah who shades every and anybody it’s a difference. Mariah is old money and can do that. But Adele loves everyone. She professed her love for Rih way before Beyoncé and said she was always anxious for new music from her. The Beyoncé situation was damage control for Wendy comparing them.

      • HailBeysus June 4, 2016

        LOL! Adele has been stanning for Beyoncé since DC! She was so star struck a bish had just about had an anxiety attack in 2011 when meeting Beyoncé lmfao!!!
        .
        “I was about to meet Beyoncé and I had a full-blown anxiety attack,” Adele said. “Then she popped in looking gorgeous, and said, ’You’re amazing! When I listen to you I feel like I’m listening to God.’ ”
        .
        The slavi always lying! Kiiii!!!

    DEATH AT THE STRUGGLE LMAO

    • Keri Qween June 3, 2016

      Kiiiii

    • LKNMRE June 3, 2016

      But Drake’s album also has like, the worst reviews, lol, so.

    • SlaveMaster June 3, 2016

      Actually Drake sold 800k in 1 week in pure sales. So shade, fail.

  6. JuJu June 3, 2016

    Sam is pressed. Rihanna did it in a couple of hours, #Nothingispromised is the 2016 Anthem, sit down!

    • MsYonce June 3, 2016

      He said in PURE SALES boo

    • Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

      How so when her album isn’t even Gold in PURE SALES???! We’re not talking about those free copies downloaded by broke ass navy bottoms! Beyonce actually SELLS and a $17.99 album at that!!

    • BADDIEBEYMYFAV June 3, 2016

      NO HoAX! You’re the one who is pressed. RHIWHURE cheated her way to a platinum certification by suvcking the D’ks of all the execs at Samsung. That lying coconut head ain’t shyt and neither are you. ?

    • Slayty Perry (Prism’s 5 Billion Streams) June 3, 2016

      Those Samsung sales are weaker than Flopga’s 99 cent deal, stop it

      • Jamon June 3, 2016

        Congrats Beyonce!! It would be nice if this album was just focused on Beyonce. Throwing jabsolutely at other artists isn’t needed or necessary. Both Rihanna and Beyonce are doing their thing, individually. I don’t care who you are, but anyone of us in Rihanna’s situation would have done the same thing, $25 million for 1 million albums is good and a good business sense. I’m sure she would have went platinum if she didn’t have that deal with Samsung. These artist are in it for the money and with today’s 360 deals, going platinum doesn’t guarantee you millions. You have all these artists who sell millions of records and wine up broke. While you’re sitting behind the computer, writing articles, she’s banking millions of dollar’s. Understand she doesn’t need your approval or could care less of your criticism. As the saying goes, “she’s laughing all the way to the bank”.

      • Jamon June 3, 2016

        *if this article
        *throwing jabs

        Damn auto correct

    • SlaveMaster June 3, 2016

      When did Rihanna sell 1 million albums of Anti? Billboard, Soundscan, and HDD say her current sales are at 400k.

    • Caleb June 3, 2016

      Key word here is SALES, meaning something has to be sold, not given away for free.

  7. LOL June 3, 2016

    LOL SHE’LL STRUGGLE THE REST OF THE YEAR FOR TWO MILLION, IF SHE EVEN HITS 1.5 LOL

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 3, 2016

      JUST LIKE ARTSHIT IS STILL STRUGGLING TO HIT A MILLION…LMAO

    • Slayty Perry (Prism’s 5 Billion Streams) June 3, 2016

      But hasn’t she already outsold Chartflop? I won’t be surprised if her US sales surpass Chartflop’s pathetic 2.2 million worldwide

  8. LB June 3, 2016

    Congrats Sony/Columbia, and their team of 100 writers/producers.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 3, 2016

      You are really foolish if u think RIHCUNT has more say in her business than Beyonce……………Do u think they are happy with her that she did not do the traditional route of promoting for endless days and promoting her albums as opposed to focusing on the tour…or the fact that she did not release her videos on VEVO and put them on spotify………Bey is doing things her own way and u will either deal with it or GO JUMP OFF A RIVER AND DISAPPEAR.

      • LB June 3, 2016

      • Music is ev!l NOWsuk out the souls. June 3, 2016

        Thanks to people who created talent not this contest to fake it like it’s something real. She has people to thank, so many people like: Stevie Wonder, Micheal Jackson, Prince, Wham, etc and etc. Beyonce shared loops, loops and loops of peoples magical songs till it sound original. bawhahahahahah Eat that!!!!!!!!!!!

    • SlaveMaster June 3, 2016

      This proves you are illiterate and know nothing about credits. Everyone involved including songwriters, composites, producers, artists who were sampled and featured etc… received credits.

    • Music is ev!l now, suk the soul out of you. June 3, 2016

      Leave it alone, let them believe it. They have to believe in something.

    When will my faves?

  13. LB June 3, 2016

    So essentially this is the end of Fifth Harmony, good Camilla can now concentrate on her career. They way Harmonizers have harassed her is deplorable.

    Also, Sam-antha, are you going to address the 83% drop of Frapuccino Grande?

  14. K.Dot June 3, 2016

    Albums matter

  15. Del June 3, 2016

    Congrats Bey!

  16. King Mark 111 /.\ June 3, 2016

    One of my faves is a cheating c********* and the other is nothing but a pile of dust 🙁

  17. King Mark111 /.\ June 3, 2016

    But her stans said that she would do this in a week. Well over 4 weeks later, I mean I guess. What is a milli tho? Rohanna and Samsung gave that number out within 2 hours.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 3, 2016

      THE SHADE WRITES ITSELF….ITS JUST TOO BAD THAT U CAN’T READ.

  18. LB June 3, 2016

    Rihanna’s boost mobile deal and platinum plaque was all smoke and mirrors, Anti can’t hang and we need to stop being in denial and accept that Friri flopped, mark is gay, and I’m from Botswana

    • King Mark 111 /.\ June 3, 2016

      Yes i’m gay sis but that ain’t no secret

  19. HailBeysus June 3, 2016

    Just got the YouTube notification.
    .
    https://youtu.be/7CfEu18f5yo
    .
    Her stage setup is OUT OF THIS WORLD! She’s also been given alot of rave reviews for it as well. Another Untouchable tour of the new MILLENNIUM. When will your favs!?!?!?

  20. Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

    When will CANti and it’s “hit”?

    • King Mark 111 /.\ June 3, 2016

      When will you shove your d*** inside my mouth?

    • BADDIEBEYMYFAV June 3, 2016

      CANTI will NEVA!

  21. King Mark111 /.\ June 3, 2016

    And even when Beyonce finally does something, her stans STILL have Rihanna in their mouths. lol 2 X Plat Vs a plat album. #CanSheTopBothCharts #OnlyOneWeekAtNumberOne #TheyHaveToClingToiTunesLOL

    • HailBeysus June 3, 2016

      1,000,000—->400,000 id be mad to LOL

      • King Mark111 /.\ June 3, 2016

        Correction, 1.9 million = Anti #Deal

    • HailBeysus June 3, 2016

      By the way, reading is fundamental. The Hive didn’t mention nor think of Cheatanna that would be @Juju a slavi who brought up Sam saying he pressed over Cheatanna. Lol!
      .
      Also no it’s 400k she sold the HONEST WAY! Samsung saved her and Streaming did as well. At Least Beyoncé can go Platinum on pure sales alone. Streaming will be her second platinum and if she gets another wit wi be due to SEA TEA and Pure Sales!

  22. LB June 3, 2016

    LMAO Nice try fake LB, Rihanna got $28 million from Samsung and sold another 1 million copies, so essentially she is paid for 2.4 million albums SOLD on HER OWN LABEL, not the standard 7% Sony contracts, and this is even before 360s were a thing.

    • LB June 3, 2016

      I can keep telling myself these lies but i have to accept that Robyn will never

      • LB June 3, 2016

        Oh fake LB, you need to get your GED first before you even attempt to argue facts with me. I am simply your intellectual superior.

      • LB June 3, 2016

        I called views a masterpiece and hold Rihanna as a standard of excellence, intellectual superiority is something i can never claim

      • LB June 3, 2016

        There is a difference between taste and intellect. Again, exposing your stupidity for all to see, but then again Yonce fans are just as dumb if not worse off than you.

      • Keri Qween June 3, 2016

        @the real LB

        Thats rihslave using ur name.don’t waste your time with the homeless p*** babe

  24. Slayty Perry (Prism’s 5 Billion Streams) June 3, 2016

    I can’t even shade, good for her. KP4 will be the second album if we get a 4th quarter release.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 3, 2016

    • King Mark 111 /.\ June 3, 2016

      The delusion is real

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 3, 2016

        I can’e believe i’m saying this, but i agree with u. Katy will slay with her generic candy bop singles, but album will be a diff story especially in this climate. And i’m sure she will put it all streaming site which will reduce her pure sales.

      • Keri Qween June 3, 2016

        Screams @Mark ?????

      • Slayty Perry (Prism’s 5 Billion Streams) June 3, 2016

        As you cling to those Samsung giveaway units.

      • Slayty Perry (Prism’s 5 Billion Streams) June 3, 2016

        @Surprise Streaming will no doubt lower her sales but I think she’ll still do fine in physical/digital sales.

    • Abel Minaj (Arianator Barb) June 3, 2016

      *flatlines* *leaves on stretcher*

      • Slayty Perry (Prism’s 5 Billion Streams) June 3, 2016

        My same reaction when I read about Ariana’s 83% decline.

      • King Mark111 /.\ June 3, 2016

        Opp! (And that other mark is a fake BTW. Katy Kats are cool in my book.

  25. Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

    Lmaooo It’s ridiculous to have to include FREE album copies to your total. A fawking CHEAT!!?? Beyonce is selling an $17.99 ALBUM with little to no promo. ( No award shows, NO Ellen etc) she wins as usual!!! Bow Down biitches!!!

  26. IStan4Rihanna. (ANTI). June 3, 2016

    Congratulations Bey’.

    • LB June 3, 2016

      I need an update, how many streams for Anti to date babe?

      • Keri Qween June 3, 2016

        Yass Rihboy update us on the stats

        I know with SPS once you said Anti was at over 1 million

      • IStan4Rihanna. (ANTI). June 3, 2016

        “910 Million”.

        .

        She is 200 million streams behind “Prism” but she will easily surpass Katy Perry and be in the “Top 5 – Most Streamed Albums (SPOTIFY)” by years end. 😉

      • LB June 3, 2016

        Yassss, I cannot wait for her to pass Prism in streams.

      • IStan4Rihanna. (ANTI). June 3, 2016

        @LB/MARK/KERI/CHILE/NAVY etc.

        .

        “ANTI” is currently at “1,193,000” in SPS – stateside – and at “493,000” in pure sales. Hopefully, within the next two-three weeks it will be Gold in pure sales.

        .

        “910 Million” album streams – Globally – on ‘SPOTIFY’ thus far collectively.

      • Slayty Perry (Prism’s 5 Billion Streams) June 3, 2016

        Prism still has a cumulative 5 Billion streams, the most for any album ever.

    • King Mark 111 /.\ June 3, 2016

      B****

  27. Keri Qween June 3, 2016

    Oh I thought it’d be 2x platinum by now like Anti

    • Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

      B**** FOH with those imaginary numbers! We’re talking about PURE SALES!!

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 3, 2016

      AND I THOUGH KERI WOULD BE A NOBODY AFTER 2010……OH WAIT..NVM

    • Keri Qween June 3, 2016

      Streaming =demand get over it

      1500 streams =one album so ppl streaming Anti definitely should count towards her total

      • LB June 3, 2016

        This is too advanced a concept for the hive to understand. You’re speaking gibberish to them LOL

      • Keri Qween June 3, 2016

        @LB

        Kiii illiterate like their fave

      • Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

        Lmaoooo B**** fans spending actual COIN on your work shows demand boo. Bey only has her album on one streaming service ( Tidal) and still slaying fRih. I can’t at these excuses. If y’all considered 4 a flop, what do you consider Anti- legit certifications????!!!!

      • Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

        B**** music so wack, people would rather stream it than purchase it. I need receipts of Rihanna selling a $17.99 album in this current industry selling climate. Being able to do that, is what you call demand. Selling out a STADIUM tour and making $61 million from eleven shows, is DEMAND biitch!! When will fRih??

      • HALF AMAZIN June 4, 2016

        They aren’t intelligent enough to understand the concept or just deep within denial. All music will be streamed pretty soon. I’d like to hear the responses then. Dumb asses

  28. MsYonce June 3, 2016

    The fact that Lemonade is selling for $18 and is still in the top ten on iTunes is crazyyy…. I think Bey was smart niy putting it out on other streaming sites. I mean she’s part owner of tidal and with Lemonade selling so good in pure sales she’s getting her money, while Spotify and these other streaming sites clocking most of y’all faves money Bey is getting hers slayyyy

  29. Stephon Jackson June 3, 2016

    As I stated on Twitter, great for Bey but sad overall. I mean, only one black female is pretty much selling albums these days. Just sad. Diversity is gone. There’s only 3 black women in today’s music industry that’s having big success. Far cry from the days of Alicia Keys, Toni, Mary J, Erika Badu, Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, Faith Evans, Aaliyah, Missy Elliot, Lil Kim etc… All being able to have success at the same time. Bey, Rih & Nicki are the only ones… And, honestly they’re not real representations of your day too day African (American) females. They’re more-so exotic white washed “black women”. We don’t really have a neo-soul down to earth kinda sista of this era, slaying hard. Mainstream that is…
    —–
    Anyways, congrats Bey. Either way, Beyonka gon’ get hers! Them box office numbers on her tour looking REAL nice. #Slay

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 3, 2016

      I have to agree with everything u just said…AND IT’S EVEN A SHAME THAT ONE OF THE THREE U MENTIONED CAN’T SING TO SAVE HERSELF FROM ANOTHER DOMESTIC ABUSE IN A CAR.

      • HALF AMAZIN June 4, 2016

        And one has a cheating camel for a husband and can’t bare her own children. Awww

  30. MsYonce June 3, 2016

    “Rihanna has her own label and her masters” and yet she’s still releasing music through Roc Nation. She signed a contact with Roc before all that and yes they still getting a cut of her money. Be seated navy she’s still UNDER roc nation

  31. LB June 3, 2016

    Roc Nation is a distributor and her management, not her label. An example, nothingis promised was released under Westbury, licensed to Interscope and most likely distributed by Universal.

    This is not a difficult concept to grasp. If such simple matters are difficult for the hive to understand, what more difficult complex concepts. Why do I even try to converse with these people.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 3, 2016

      LOL…SO U THINK BEYONCE HAS NOT RELEASED ANYTHING UNDER PARKWOOD BEFORE WESTBURYSHIT WAS FORMED.

      • King Mark111 /.\ June 3, 2016

        Shut up, she’s a label s****, a 7% puppet.

  32. MsYonce June 3, 2016

    The navy use to laugh at 4 yet Anti can’t even outsell it lmaooo y’all better cling to those streams cause that all y’all will have from now on……With this new streaming rules Rihanna’s pure sales will be even worst as people will streams and not buy Lool y’all better cling to those streamssss……..???

  33. RihYonce June 3, 2016

    The queen slays yet again ! And she will for sure go 2X platinum hopefully there’s a platinum edition of lemonade coming soon

  34. MsYonce June 3, 2016

    Right now I’m glad Bey didn’t put her s*** on Spotify cause they really clock most of these artists money. At first I wanted her now but right now I’m glad

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 3, 2016

      ME TOO…BUT I WANT HER TO PUT THE SONG ON THERE THO, NOT THE VISUAL ALBUM.

  35. SWISH June 3, 2016

    LMFAOOO Sam was pressed as f*** typing this article up

  36. Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

    Just bcause 1 million broke biitches downloaded your album doesn’t mean 1 million people would have purchased it. fRih and her salvation army trolls are pathetic!

    • Keri Qween June 3, 2016

      Lies because she’s always went platinum in pure sales before Anti

      • Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

        And Beyonce ALWAYS goes platinum in sales! Lemonade ia NO different! Can’t say the same for CANTi b****

      • RihYonce June 3, 2016

        Yea in 2012 which also took her months !!! & aren’t you a Keri fan you shouldn’t even be in a PLATINUM discussion ??? bye

      • Keri Qween June 3, 2016

        What does that have to do with anything ? U said just because a million people downloaded Anti doesn’t mean they would have bought it but her previous albums have always scanned platinum at least

        @rihyonce have a seat fatty who was talking to you ?

      • Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

        B**** what does her previous albums have to do with her current one flopping in pure sales??? Lol

      • Keri Qween June 3, 2016

        Because u said u dont think a million people would have purchased the album dumbass. Her previous albums prove otherwise why wouldn’t this one BALDY?

      • Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

        Like I said slow bitxh. What does her past album sales have to do with the current one flopping, you dumb t*****?? Since all jsd albums go platinum, why is this one stuck at 400k in pure sales. That 600k less than Bey with more time! Lmaooooo #TheEXCUSES

      • Keri Qween June 3, 2016

        Because she gifted a million copies moron and that hindered her sales.

        And its not stuck its Still selling every week p***

      • Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

        So basically what you’re saying is her fans would rather download the album for free than to pay for it and support her??? I bet your broke ass was one of the ones who downloaded the album for free. lmaoo Why couldn’t Anti go platinum in pure sales like Lemondade, even with a nine week hit? THE EXCUSES

    • Molly June 3, 2016

      Broke? You bums can’t even keep a Beyoncé song in top 10 more then a week.

      • Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

        Biitch get your bipolar confused ass out of my reply box. You change Stan bases like underwear. Unstable hoee!

      • Molly June 3, 2016

        Kiii you mad i dumped you f*******?

    • Caleb June 3, 2016

      In fact there’s no way all those ppl would’ve downloaded that anti album in the first week without it being free. Someone is completely delusional if they believe Rihanna would have sold 1.4 million albums in a week. When has she ever debuted with even a quarter of that?

  37. Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

    Anti is currently $11.99 on iTunes and the deluxe is $13.99. She should slash that price by 60% and maybe she’ll reach gold in pure sales. A gawking flop!!

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) June 3, 2016

      No, ITS SUMMER, the NAZI have to spend their money on taking their annual S** medicine.

      • Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

    • Slay_Hive June 3, 2016

      Lmaoooo ?

  39. Cough Cough June 3, 2016

    This is definitely Beyonces weakest vocal cd to date. Very vocally unimpressive and uninspired and boring. But I gotta give credit to her, I will always love her and glad she is still able to be successful. Still she needs to step up her vocal chops next cd and stop doing duets with people who can’t sing and are vocally beneath her. I’m disappointed in this cd, as a true Beyonce fan from day 1 of Destinys child. I see what she was going for but I’m bored after a month. So many better cd’s out now

    • Molly June 3, 2016

      I can’t with those struggle vocals on sandcastles. Riri sounds better on higher.

      • Cough Cough June 3, 2016

        Rihanna will never sound better than Beyonce- ever. Because she’s vocally inferior by a big margin. Don’t get me wrong Beyonce sounds good on every song she just isn’t singing FOREAL, FOREAL. She’s doin a lot of talk singing and lazy singing. there are no vocally challenging songs, as if she’s not trying to be recognized as a vocalist anymore

  40. HailBeysus June 3, 2016

    Yas @SlaytPerry getting her lashings in! The Slavi coming for Katy with no Katy Stan in site. Also congrats on your favs 5BILLION STREAMS!! THE MOST FOR ANY ARTISTS EVER!!! THE TRUE DIGITAL QUEEN! ????! She’ll be getting another DIAMOND single this upcoming era unlike a the Queen of Singles.

    • Thetruthemeritus June 3, 2016

      Platinum because of Samsung buying copies? Beyonce is not selling due to streams. She is actually pulling on mbunbefs from physical sells.

  64. Diabetic Coma June 3, 2016

    Rih never got $25 mill BANK. The only way that would be possible is if Samsung bought 1 mill copies that rih herself owned, that would require free to buy them then sell them breaking even. In other words $25 mill went on the Album not to frih. Also Rih would have struggled to go plat in the US (as usual) if not for samsung, even if it did it would have taken forever. Lemonade was also free released on HBO. Also it cost $18 lemonades profit is way higher than Anti either way u slice it. Lemonade probably even sold more individual tracks. The most critically acclaimed album of the year will be the highest seller of 2016. Both views & Anti are lemonades lessors.

    @mark

    Assuming yur not just trolling, & really are to stupid to grasp what i was saying. Simply rih didnt get $25 mill out of the deal as athe navy make it seem. Whether she owns masters or not Frih got what she couldnt get otherwise, a platinum cert. he did SPS +TEA but why can Bey go plat without it & not rih???

  79. No favs, just here for the music June 3, 2016

    Slay + Beyonce= Blay? Lol

    Congratulations! Beyonce is pretty much the 2016 Queen of BB200 thus far. Much respect to this woman. Much respect.

  80. Royalkev June 3, 2016

    Congrats Bey! This is why I pay Beyonce hate no mind! I really got to this point with the self-titled era! Beyonce’s career is brilliant! People don’t want to give her well deserved credit sometimes, but we’ve seen this woman evolve masterfully. Her resume and talents screams LEGEND whether the world is in agreement with that statement collectively or not! Let’s review how Bey’s cancelled all her haters and why she’s been twirling on them for 2 decades now.

    ‘Lemonade’ marks Beyonce’s 6th straight platinum + selling album.

    It’s also Bey’s 6th straight #1 album on the Billboard 200 (she’s the only female artist to do so)!

    Beyonce has won 20 Grammys (she’s the female artists with the most wins in one night, along with Adele)!

    Beyonce has 2 tours grossing over 100 million+ (very soon to be 3)!

    People insist that Beyonce need all these new #1 songs, but we forget that she’s accumulated 36 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 already. That makes her 7th on the all time list… Btw, dominating the Hot 100 is not one of her strengths as an artist, but she’s still made a respectable showing in the record books obviously.

    Since the Hot 100 is a topic, let’s be clear on something … Beyonce is one of the few artists that has scored a 10 week stay at #1. ‘Irreplaceable’ is one of only 33 songs to stay at #1 for 10 weeks or longer (Bey’s stayed at the top for 11 weeks with DC).

    Beyonce was the female artists of the decade (2000’s).

    I can go on and on…

    At the end of the day, it’s evident that Beyonce has enjoyed a well rounded career and is doing fantastic for an artist thriving in the new millennium! When people downplay her success, it really comes across as desperate! Haters can nitpick and demand that Beyonce accomplish near impossible feats (selling diamond albums, which is extremely uncommon and damn near unattainable for more than 99% of the music industry right now) or even those that she’s obtained before (#1’s singles, when Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor are the type of artists that are obtaining them today). Bottom line is that Bey’s slaying almost 20 years in! Deal.

  81. Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) June 3, 2016

    Beyonce got 99 problems but selling albums ain’t one!
    Get with the winning team h***

  82. Alex June 3, 2016

    And far All these people talking about Rihanna going platinum first??? She did with STREAMS!!!! BEYONCÉ is the FIRST to go platinum In PURE sales!!! Dumb f****!!!

    • HALF AMAZIN June 4, 2016

      The RIAA doesn’t differentiate. So, you’re dumb actually. Have a nice day! ☺️

  83. Ayyseify June 3, 2016

        That ain’t answer the question

  84. Nobo June 3, 2016

    To watch the gays argue over two female singers is hilarious. Yet, most will be borrowing $20 for the club this weekend.

    Purchased, downloaded, streamed… Regardless, they’re wealthy and you all will still be on TGJ arguing who is better.

    Another day, another broke gay in acid wash jeans.

    • Ayyseify June 3, 2016

      You mad or nah?

    • Music is ev!l NOWsuk out the souls. June 3, 2016

  88. EvilEye June 4, 2016

    It’s comedy that Rihanna’s flop album has been out since January and 6 months later hadn’t sold 500k. Just goes to show what people actually think about her and her “talent”. Flop.

  89. Sherrele June 4, 2016

    Congratulations Beyonce!! Pure Sells! No matter what the haters say, she is doing the damn thing, and change the game.

  90. myloyaltybelongstoriri June 4, 2016

    who cares??still haven’t listened 2 the garbage she released .would give Beyonce a listening ear d moment she becomes a true artist and not steal peoples work

  91. Annalise June 4, 2016

    How didT I miss this dragging hunty?! I CAN’T @ Molly-the-maid getting draggedT into oblivion by her type 4c nappy bi-racial hair, lmaooo! -10 points for the human sewage!!! 😆 . Oh and if the Ashes-stan thinks for one second that I forgot about her funeral, she has another thing coming. 11:00pm sharp boo!!!!

  92. Annalise June 4, 2016

    Hol”’ up waymentttt!!! Is @Møldy still claiming she left something she was NEVER a part of? LMAO and if I recall correctly, she was scalped by @Tyler and @CareerEnder months before she left her lil punk-ass comment. Stay madT b****!

  93. nico June 4, 2016

    Congratulations beyonce haters, are,diying this is so good to the flop album with price of 18 $

  94. Diabetic Coma June 4, 2016

    Bey has only 9 #1 hits (cowriting more than half of them) accumulating 56 weeks on top hot 100 1999-2009. The timing of beys end of being A POP STAR came at the perfect time cuz now shes an ARTist above hits & makes Albums something she her self said in her Doc that most artist dont do and instead push singles (an obvious jab at Rihsceduled). Plus bey is the FIRST to go #1 6 times str8 not first female so far has 9 if u include DC & Dreamgirls soundtrack.

  95. Diabetic Coma June 4, 2016

    Plus bey actually takes more risk & even more daring & obnoxious than Gaga was in her short run. Probably why the public is over her, why fall for gagas shock factor gimmicks when bey already does them but as a real artist.i already see the Dont hurt yourself viddo hurting careers if it drops on vevo.

  96. #JACKIE June 4, 2016

    Crying @ this post.

  97. DatDude June 4, 2016

    No shade its only the middle of the year we got plenty of more artist to drop something and if Adele was to release a album or deluxe album this year she will slay let’s be honest!! Bey last album was waayyy much better and slay much more than this Lemonade crap ijs let’s be real.

  98. wtuck001 June 4, 2016

    The funny thing is this article is inaccurate. According to billboard lemonade is still under a million in pure album sales. This album is all hype and really not performing well. It will end with the same numbers as 4

  99. Sherrele June 4, 2016

    It has sold a million in pure sales

  100. Sunni Day June 5, 2016

    All Hail Queen bey!

  101. Anonymous December 17, 2016

    @ the end of the day, call it what you will, Rihanna’s album has gone nearly 3x platinum so even if y’all want to take of a million – it’s still more…. look at the charts too btw, Lemonade is nearly in the 70’s while Riri still reigns in the 20’s…. Lemonade is months newer yet already disposable asf…. it’s wack and she’s an overrated b****.

  102. Anonymous December 17, 2016

    Oh & Lemonade hasn’t even sold 1 million yet….
