But a lot of artists scored diamond sales in the 2000s and outsold all beyonces discography with just one album. beyonce never went diamond in USA, she was never the best selling artist in any year. You can see in Google trends that other pop acts were ridiculously more relevant than beyonce. She is good but too much hype hurts her, it makes people go like "wait a sec, is that it".
