Though following in the footsteps of Tina Turner, Janet Jackson and brother Michael, Houston-born belter Beyonce is now on course to welcome an achievement placing her head and shoulders above them…at least on a financial front.
How?
A remarkable story below…
MTV reports:
“Beyonce is expected to make well over 200 million dollars by the time the Mrs Carter Show World Tour wraps up this year (2014). The tour, which was already the highest grossing concert by a female artist in 2013, is set to become the most successful of her entire career and make her the highest paid black musician of all time!”
If accurate, the tour’s seat-filling success will see her outperform feats scored by stage shows launched by Mariah Carey, Diana Ross and the aforementioned Janet, whose ‘Janet World Tour’ generated $80 million worldwide after its November 24th, 1993 launch.
So, with the above record in mind, we ask…
When will your fave tho?
Beyonce >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Your basic flop fave
All hail the Queen!
And what does her being black have to do with this? This is racial segregation. Black people want equality and civil rights yet there is still such segregation in the film and music industry. Her skin colour is irrelevant. We aren’t in 1860 anymore. We are in 2014 and in a very free world. I find this quite racist. The attention isn’t on Beyonce, it’s not on her tour, it’s not on how much money she made, it’s all about her skin colour. Yet black people want to be treated fairly? Is this fair? We are all the same underneath our skin, whether black, white, gay or straight.
Beyonce’s IAM tour which grossed 120M has already outgrossed Janet’s tour, same as The Mrs. Carter Show World tour which grossed 188M so far. Which was the highest grossing tour by a female artist of 2013 and the highest grossing solo tour of 2013. Keep in mind she didn’t any any new music supporting the 2013 tour.
You do know that with inflation the Janet Tour actually grossed $278 million? ???
She’s only 32.
beyonce the moment. some people make it big, and some musician don’t. areatha, whitney, janet, mariah, mary, britney was influential for their time. this is beyonce time to be influential.
4 was the supporting album. Just because she had a baby in between in between, doesn’t make the tour not supported by an album.
Hopefully she’ll use some of that money for singing lessons.
Her skin colour is very relevant. Black people weren’t even classed as equal citizens LESS than 100 years ago and there are people who can remember a time where the law ALLOWED people to mistreat black people who are still alive today.
The fact of the matter is that African Americans were enslaved and had to fight to be seen as equals so when an african american singer achieves something it is done in the face of the adversity the people who came before them faced, or did you forget that black people weren’t allowed to perform in certain bars no more than 50 years ago.
Recognising the achievements of an ethnic minority isn’t segregation, it is to REMIND all people of how far that ethnic minority has come since they were enslaved, r****, tortured and murdered en masse.
before ya lady’s start to come for janet just remember tickets sells was cheaper back then.
@AJ
4 was released in 2011, The Mrs. Carter Tour started in 2013, 2 years after 4. There was no NEW material supporting the tour.
This post is dedicated to everyone who said these following sad and false words :
Beyonce is old
Beyonce is done
She is too scared to release a single
Flopyonce
Beyoldnce
Rihanna is superior
She won’t get a top 10 single again
Her album sales will decrease in the 3rd week of release
You dumb stupid hos. Beyonce is the king. Bow the f#ck down
#Thatisall
Not the the most influential act of all time, but she is of our generation. Is this accurate, not to take anything way from her but, if we were to do an inflation of all concerts they would well surpass the 200 million mark. Janet’s Rythm Nation Tour I believe is around the same if not a little more. Congrats to her though. I’m happy it’s a real entertainer.
@MYA That’s because 4 was the material. It came after the release of 4. I don’t see how people are thick enough to not understand this.
And here lies to rest the “who’s the biggest star” debate (even though it was never a debate, just a navy delusion). Congrats Bey!! A REAL ARTIST such as yourself, it’s well deserved 🙂
Drunk in money
Queeeeeeen B!
DAMN! Now this is how a QUEEN is suppose to SLAY!
Her tour grossed over 200+ Million
Her album has sold over 3+ Million Copies Less than 3 Months
Her Net Worth Is 400+ Million & growing.
She is the QUEEN of this generation.
Beyonce is the biggest artist on the planet RIGHT NOW!
Do some of you realize that Janet didn’t charge much for her tickets and didn’t even go to some places and didn’t add second legs in the same areas? Beyonce never toured for 4. This was the tour. It’s funny that Sam added Janet to this list when Janet broke these records in her 20’s. Let’s not forget that JJ still has the highest grossing debut solo tour of all time with Rhythm Nation. As a matter of fact, Michael didn’t charge much for tickets either! He only charged $15 in some places and he put his own money into them. This costed MJ dearly in the long run, but it’s not all about the $$$ to some artists.
Her skin color is VERY RELEVANT! Especially her being a black women, How many black female are topping the charts nowadays? Only 2, her and Rih. This is an phenomenal accomplishment for her, and for her to be only 32 wow. You guys better wake up. These white artists control payola and pop radio. Black artists have it harder than these white artists. It’s not racism at all, it’s the truth! Black r&b artists are flopping because pop radio doesn’t play their music, but if an white artist sing a “urban” song the would. Ex. Katy Perry Dark Horse is categorized as urban, but they don’t play it on urban radio! Wake up people and see whats happening!
@EDUCATED
But that’s what I mean. We don’t live in 1914. We live in 2014. Black people are very equal now, but there is a continued segregation in film and music.
I don’t even think about what skin colour a singer has. It’s completely irrelevant to me. If I like their music, then I like them. Simple.
Too much emphasis is placed on peoples skin colour, to the point where it overshadows their actual achievements.
We live in the past when it comes to skin colour. If everyone is equal and skin colour doesn’t matter, then why do Black awards for film and music exist? It’s called double standards.
I’m surprised you are insinuating that I’m wrong. I’m actually saying that I could care less is someone is black or white. As long as they are nice, thoughtful, caring people, does it matter?
I think you are getting things a bit twisted here. I’m quite clearly anti-rasicm and pro-equality. The only way that will be achieved is to move forward and lay things to rest. After all, enslavers of the 1860s aren’t alive anymore. People who are alive today didn’t do those crimes.
Ummmm Whitney Houston was the greatest singer of all time not just her generation! Lets get that straight!
Beyonce is a better performer than Janet Jackson tho…
Bey keeps on winning
The Hive told yall to bow down. But u didn’t listen. Now who’s slaying yall mutherfucking lives now?
Beyonce
Half-Brother Needs Food Stamps to Eat
Dad’s the Bad Guy
24 minutes ago BY TMZ STAFF
Beyonce’s dad is so far behind on child support payments for his illegitimate kid … his baby mama is destitute and has to use food stamps to survive.
We’re told Alexsandra Wright hasn’t seen any money from Mathew Knowles since we posted our story back in December — when he allegedly owed $24K. We’re told he now owes $32,135.90.
Wright — whose son is Beyonce’s half-brother — is now on public assistance … and gets $300 a month on a state-issued EBT card to pay for food and other expenses.
Congrats.
Lemme perch and wait for the Salvation Navy to come in and seethe.
Oh wait at the comment above me. They’ve already arrived.
@SMH, that is very true. Michael & Janet Jacksons tickets were very cheap compared to Beyonce’s tickets sales of today.
The Bad World Tour: Grossed 125+ Million $’s (Tickets avr. 30 bucks)
Vs
The Mrs Carter World Tour: Grossed 200+ so far (Tickets Avr. 100+)
Madonna charges damn near 3,000+ for her tickets thats how she is able to gross 500+ million from just 60 shows…
Michael & Janet tickets always was cheap & Michael Jackson also gave over 200 tickets for free for the disabled children
Also, Bey’s I am…Sasha Fierce tour grossed more than any Janet tour in she was in her 20’s, also the prices where resonable as well. I love Janet, but facts are facts. Janet is still one of the most influential artists to ever exist. It’s a sgame she isn’t selling concerts out like Madonna, but let’s not be mad a Bey because of that. Also, no.her numbers aren’t inflated, she is doing great. I’m proud of her.
But where that #1 though?? The last #1 she had was in 09.
Even after stripping and bouncing around the grammys stage naked, she still couldn’t get that #1. She was beaten by Generic Perry to that #1, who delivered a s***** vocal struggle performance on the same stage.
Shame at the t********* struggle
ALL HAIL THE KING!
yes i stan down for miss Bey, but i’m also a realistic stan too. this report is awesome, but I would like a more scientific approach when it comes to saying “all time”.
For example: consider inflation. the cost of tickets are higher now, some stadiums are larger, etc.
also, consider revenue. just because HER TOUR GENERATED THAT MUCH doesn’t mean SHE GOT PAID THAT MUCH.
lastly, consider NUMBER OF DATES. if janet (at her peak) went on a tour with 60 dates and made 80 mil, but beyonce goes on a tour with 100 dates and made 100 mil, who really made the most money?
More paid nonsense that her uneducated stans will eat up
This is an attemppt to overshadow the fact that her brother is on foodstamps, its no way she is worth what is reported as noone in the family, and noone meaning Matty would be short on cash.
It says PAID (not what she will take home) she is leveraged to the hilt and her brand is in need of major cash thus the Struggle Draws, the incessant touring and that other cheap merch on her site that is starting to look like Dereon, evertying marked down
This is also meant to overshadow Rihanna’a RISE and her upcoming 3rd vogue cover and the fact that she is truly in demand not these weekly hype up fests
It will convince her uneducated fleahive but the rest of the world know better
You will not find any so called ‘billionaire”s father (on bad times or not) unable to pay child support.
Even that so called bracelet Jay gave was a paid endoresement from that company, just like the vegan thing, paid to be seen in the restaurants, they are struggling for cash
This is PR classic, create the illusion of wealth so people won’t think their money matters, well it does and most are not giving these 2 their money anymore
Ofcourse the stans will be they need much more than that to cover what they owe in lawsuits, unmet projections on every product that have shilled, lifestyle, ongoing costs, etc…
Nice try Camp. Can’t fool us all.
MESS at Katy spending 2 weeks atop of the BB100 while t********* continues freefalling like a brick
^^^ long story short, cuz i know u kids hate essays:
beyonce is the greatest of her generation undoubtedly (sorry stans of xtina, britney, rihanna, gaga).
BUT…of all time…i wouldn’t put her in the top 20 and she is literally my favorite singer. i just keeping it real. Michael, Madonna, Barbra, Whitney, Elvis, Tina, Diana, Aretha, etc. money and sales do NOT equal greatness
Some people are always trying to discredit this woman.
Janet Jackson’s highest grossing tour still grossed less than $20-$30 Million less than the I am tour. The I am tour isn’t even Beyonce’s highest grossing tour, that would be The Mrs.Carter Tour.
So what if she didn’t charge as much, and who the hell cares if she didn’t add an extra leg to the tour, maybe it’s because her tours weren’t as in high demand.
Give credit when it’s due and move on if you’re salty about beyonce slaying the f*** out of Janet(Whom I love) tour wise. Janet is still the better album and single seller, you can’t have it all!
LOL@ people always pressed and waiting for the #NAVY. #basics. Anywho, I’ll believe it when a credible source confirms it. AND After you put Michael and Janet’s name in his article you ask is Beyonce he most influential artist of all time? Easy. No. And definitely not on the level of the Jacksons no matter how much money she makes. They are the pop music staple.
@SlayRiah, bitchh you always starting something!
Go and purchase OUR flop favs new single “Flop Mine (EternalFLOP)
Beyonce >>>>>> 2010s Moooriah!
Lol NO she’s not the greatest of all time. I knew thatfruitjuice had obsessive compulsive disorder over her but this is taking it to a new level of insanity.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
She is, most definitely, the MOST influential vocalist/performer of my generation.
I am so happy for her.
😉
Billboard 200:
7. Beyoncé – Beyoncé
56. Lana Del Rey – Born To Die
59. Lady Gaga – Artpop
Black women topping charts? Beyonce, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Mary J Blige, Shall we extend to males? Jay-Z, T.I., Pharrell, Bruno Mars, Flo Rida.
How about white artists? Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Robin Thicke, Lorde. It’s a lot less.
You think white artists control radio? Who has the most Pop number ones: Katy and RIHANNA. Who has the most weeks at number one? MARIAH. Rihanna has had 24 top ten pop singles, and the most entries with 38.
How many white people do you see on the Rap, Hip hop and R&B charts? Only Eminem and Macklemore.
Black artists have it very easy, the charts are dominated by black artists.
No it’s not racism, but it’s fact. Black artists are extremely successful. Who are the top four biggest selling females? Madonna, Mariah, Whitney and Celine. Two are black, and Whitney only did 6 albums.
There’s a myth that white singers are better. There’s no such thing. It should be about the music, not skin colour.
You say that black artists don’t have it easy, but Beyonce sold 600k + copies of album in one country in under three days. Sounds pretty good to me!
Music should be about the music, emotion and feeling people get from it. Not about the colour of the skin who sings it. I just want proper equality and for everyone to be treated equally.
Beyonce greater than Britney? let’s not be delusional now. Britney’s back-flip alone is greater than Beyonce’s existence.
Grammys:
T********* – 17
Lady GaGa – 5
S**** del rey – 0
@Nuff Said
Sound like you keep up with Beyonce’s every move lol. You can’t keep your eyes off her like the rest of the world. In the meantime Beyonce’s new album has sold over 3M+ in 2 months lol!
But her album sold more in three days than some albums ever sell. Beyonce is more of an album seller than a single seller now. Rihanna is more of a singlet seller than album seller. Swings and roundabouts.
@Stephy
Bxtch take a seat. I knew your mentally unstable ass was never a Mariah fan. The lambs don’t need your thirsty d***-craving ass. You’re dismissed.
Word of causation: Please don’t say “R*hanna N**y” here, It’ll summon the most foul and delusional demons….
I notice that whenever Rihanna is said to break a record, or when there is a negative news story out about Beyoncé, that’s when her team releases these hinds of stories to the press. You right why they had to say black artist? Its because she’s not breaking any records with white people around . Why couldn’t she break the record of highest paid musician of all time? Now that would be impressive. Why don’t she go buy her little brother some food.
Who cares if the tour made more money than Janet’s. Janet is still that chick regardless. 40+ in this business with music & tv/film career, Beyonce is still trying to get on Janet’s level Sam. Janet’s fifth album was hot, the movie Poetic Justice was hot, the soundtrack was hot & she had a successful tour.
iTunes Albums:
6. Beyoncé – BEYONCÉ
18. Lana Del Rey – Born To Die
111. Beyoncé – BEYONCÉ
175. Lana Del Rey – Paradise
252. Lana Del Rey – Born To Die: The Paradise Edition
262. Lady Gaga – Artpop
caution*
Of this generation maybe but of all time no what delusional beyhive wrote up this article? beyonce is a good performer but that’s about it she doesn’t write her own music, she’s not innovative the only thing that stands out is her performing, young Janet slayed her performance wise TBH
At least Queen Keri writes her music something beyonce can’t do
And death at the self-drag. “T*********” being a has-been yet having more Grammys than Fadga and her era already obliterated Chartflop with minimal promo. Stay mad.
all those albums and still not a single grammy? THE STRUGGLE 😀
Grammys:
T********* – 17
Lady GaGa – 5
S**** del rey – 0000000
Slay a bit girl!
Oh please! If that’s the case then Queen Keri needs to stay behind the scenes because she can’t grace a stage for s***. And she sure in hell isn’t allthay great of a vocalist.
Anyways, congrats to Beyonce!
Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson has better overall muisic quality.
But Beyonce is a more exciting performer than both argubly speaking!
*that
Wow congrats hard work pays off Biggest popstar on planet right now
Keep using that tired ass Grammy drag. Still won’t change the fact that Chartflop won’t even outsell BTD in the US at this rate.
No she isn’t the most influential, who has she really influenced? She’s been on your forever.. This site is forever gassing her up..
It’s part of my job, nuff said.
This is simple PR and it will work on those it can work on, see above.
Her PR team is in desperation mode and I would advise a total change in tactic, but they are also being pressured by Beyonce’s EGO which can’t survive unless she is perceived to be on the TOP, this is becoming a serious handicap on their ability to successfully market her or remarket her I should say as the general public is not buying into this Queen/Bow Down thing that her fleahive have and they are still forcing this when it has never been forced, they have misstudied MJ, his was organic and true, not manufactured.
Beyonce’s parents created an egomaniac that still has not learned to just “be”, her entire existence is wrapped up in the need to be Above/Superior than others even when it is clear that she is not, noone is,we all bring something to the table. She never learned this and is again still trying to force the world to see her as the end all and be all of everything (which her less than stellar music, lack of originality, inability to reinvent herself, lying about talents –songwriting, choreo etc.., lip synching at major events, don’t bring in Whitney a superbowl is not an inauguration).
She will have to accept that she is only her fleahive’s Queen, who is increasingly becoming the joke and bane of the world.
The real kii though is how someone 5 times younger than Botox Del Rey came and won 2 grammys after a year in the music business when Botox has been in the industry for 9852721 years and STILL no grammys to show for it.
Yeah I would also ditch botox and hop on the t********* bandwagon if my fave was botox del rey.
QUEEN. She is one of the best performers of all time so its well deserved. She is extremley influential, but not the most influential. Congratulations.
She is laughing tbh.
@Slayriah
B**** wtf does that have to do with anything? Sit ur remedial ass down. U are way too old and haggard for that s***.
People are mad at Bey, Bey never stated out her mouth that she was the most influential or highest paid black artist. Get over it, her tour grossed more than Janet and Michael’s. It is what it is. That doesn’t make her better than them. But, she is own the right path. She will grossing more and more each tour. She is building an empire like Madonna, something that our black legends before her didn’t.
Hiding behind Borde still won’t change the fact that Chartflop won’t even outsell BTD in the US at this rate.
Still doesn’t change the fact that Lady Gaga has 5 grammys and s**** del rey will never smell any grammys
Hiding behind the same tired “gRämMysSs!!!1” drag still doesn’t change the fact that Gaga is the biggest fad in pop music history.
Katy has none and is also obliterating Fad in every way possible.
#FakeLambs
LOOOOOOL
The QUEEN JUST KEEPS WINNING!!!!!!!!
#LEGEND #BOW
Reply to flop like lady gaga. Quick before it does it’s disappearing act again
Bandwagoning for t********* won’t change the fact that s**** del rey doesn’t have any grammys.
You are stupid if u thought that by bandwagoning for t********* she would give your fave one or two of her 17 grammys. Del rey will NEVER know how it feels like to have a grammy to her name, and I understand why u mad
Sam, do you have any education? does your bloggin ass know what INFLATION is?
1. Total grosses for the “Janet. World Tour”, updated with inflation over time with 2011’s average ticket price, brings the gross tour equivalent to $276,986,666.
2. Total grosses for the “Rhythm Nation 1814 World Tour”, adjusted with inflation over time with 2011’s average ticket prices, brings the gross tour equivalent to $261,645,313. The Rhythm Nation World Tour, with an attendance of over two million patrons, remains the most successful debut tour by any recording artist.
3. The tour grossed over $78 million worldwide. Total grosses for “The Velvet Rope World Tour”, with inflation over time with 2011’s average ticket price, brings the gross tour equivalent to $178,750,000.
Conclusion: your comparison (as well as the question) is invalid.
Trying to drag me for “bandwagoning” doesn’t change the fact that my main fave’s two year old album is currently outselling Fadga in the US and in most main music markets.
How does one go from running the entire industry to falling behind Ke$ha in one era? Truly a has-been.
$80 million dollars would have meant more in real terms back in ’93. Probably not as much as $200 million now, but the difference in real terms isn’t that much.
Also, as other people have already said, Janet was selling tickets for less and wasn’t doing multiple legs in the same regions.
I don’t think it’s irrelevant that this will make Beyoncé the highest paid black musician of all time, I think that’s a milestone and a testament to the fact that the whole “racism against black people in pop music” argument is getting old. So many of the most popular pop artists today are black or mixed race, and they’re extremely popular not just in the States but also in European countries which have very small percentages of non-whites.
I read someone comment here before and it’s so true; it’s the Asians that are underrepresented! I can’t even think of one Asian that’s doing well in pop (apart from K-pop / J-pop stars)!
What disappearing act? I have a life, unlike you f****.
I only come here once in every while, not like you f**** who have set up residence on this site. Y’all should try focusing on ur books so y’all can get a job and get your lives!!!
@Cindy!
You are so right! Beyonce is building a enpire like Madonna. Something our BLACK artist failed to do! Michael Jackson did it but her went completely bat s*** crazy!
But with that being said, Michael Jackson net worth & record sales are way bigger than Madonna’s. But the net worth only enlarged due to his death.
Michael career regained stamina after his death. He grossed over 1+ billion dollars in revenue since his death….
So, basically Beyonce is the only BLACK power enterainer that can reach net worth/empire status like Madonna & many other WHITE artist has achieved.
Rihanna maybe can too…
But Beyonce will NEVER sell as many records like Madonna or other black arists that has come before her but Rihanna has already outsold Whitney & Janet
I’m sure Beyonce will surpass the 260-270 Million by the end of the tour! 😉
#LEGEND
LMAO f** stop lying. We see you on almost every Bey post.
If you actually worked at a multi-national auditing firm like you said you wouldn’t be arguing with a bunch of under-20 year olds on a poorly-run, amateur looking music blog. And you also wouldn’t be stanning for F***.
Bandwagoning for t********* doesn’t change the fact that your fave got outdone by someone 5 years younger than her.
Yeah, I would also be mad, so I get where u coming from
The f***……Another inaccurate post, try again!
“What disappearing act? I have a life, unlike you f****.”
B**** Good f****** BYE!!!! We couldn’t pay you 6 months ago to leave and take a break. You were on EVERY post throwing TIRED shade at Beyonce EVERYDAY!!!
“Where’s the single T*********”
“We should have a search party for that single”
You have been in hiding because your trolling backfired and you look like a FOOL! T***** CACA is FLOPPING, and BEY is winnning! You were CLOCKED and BOOTED!
run back into hiding confused closeted F**! 😉
Yeah, I know you get where I’m apparently coming from since my “flop” fave’s two year old platinum certified album that only debuted with 77K in the US is currently outselling the three month old Chartflop.
I’d be incredibly pissed off, too.
Queen Keri can sing h*e youre used to listening to pre-recorded vocals
Why is everyone so pressed about Artpop though? Everyone has at least one or two unsuccessful eras.
I will never understand why this woman is praised so much! What is so spectacular about Beyonce? Name one timeless hit she has ever recorded please!!! And her latest self titled album wont even stand the test of time being that its already forgotten about. Other than Drunk in love, name one song on that album that can become a smash hit!
You go Bey hard work talente will take you fair may god continue to bless proteict you and your family for life long happy life ever lasting long happy married more success in all you do long live queen thanks Sam for posting
@slayriah
You would know being a moo stan , just wait for the art of letting go of my career’s sales figures.
It took BTD 2 years to go platinum. It only got certified last week, but it only took BTW 1 week to do that.
Yeah, you are mad and its ok to be mad.
You are a fool if you think Racism isn’t still alive and very much an everyday reality only a fool or someone not of the African American Race would believe that!!
@TheTruth
DEATH!! The art of Letting go will push Mariah’s sales figures to 55,000,000 in the US, extending her lead as the best selling female of the Nielsen Era. While Lana’s music stays ever so popular in retirement homes’ elevators
Woo f** keep embarassing yourself. Keep clinging to pre-2012 because these days she can’t even get a music video out even with all that payola.
I know Interscope is probably moving the rest of the Chartflop promo budget to Lana’s upcoming album since she’s basically the #1 female artist on the label now.
@flop like lady gaga
Cling to the past. It’s what all other stans of hasbeens do
I guess some of you illiterate f.cks can’t read. Sam didn’t say she was the most influential he asked his READERS for their opinion.
I love the way she shuts these naysayers down. Gotta love this woman.
Werk Bey!
I cant wait to see her take on another Mommy role, and begin brthing New Artist under her!
Congratulations Beyonce!!! You definitely deserve it.
@REALLY?!
Beyonce’s overall muscial quality is very below average compared to the greats like Janet, Mariah & Nippy! But what Beyonce has is her ability to perform & push s***** music down our necks until we like it. She is great at that.
For Example: Run The World, Singles Ladies, Diva, Video Phone, Most of the Bday album all were very poorly recieved by the general public. But once you see you perform 1+ billion X’s, Music Videos & radio spins it every 5 minutes it becomes a classic to most people.
Beyonce’s music can NOT stand alone. She needs a lot of OTHER things to pursuade people into supporting it.
Vs Someone like Adele who has a unique old school tone mixed with 60s type songs. All Adele needed was a voice & great songs then BAM! She is a monster seller.
Beyonce only did that once & that was Dangerously In Love the rest of her albums needs lots on convincing for people to purchase it. Expecially this last album with her releasing videos with the songs.
@Really?
Beyonce has Crazy in Love, Single Ladies, Halo, If I Were a Boy, ETC and many album gems that will be remembered over a lot of these current #1 singles.
You don’t have to understand why she is praised. There are PLENTY who see why. Critics, several legendary artists, and millions of fans!
The only singles released on her album were DIL, and XO. DIL is smashing and Xo hasn’t been promoted yet. How is her album forgotten about when it’s still selling. IDGI
Beyonce is an ICON already! budding legend. she WILL get there eventually. 😉
This is HUGE. She is doing big things, this is REAL winning. She’s only 32. And yes race plays a huge part to the person who asked. Anyone who finds negative is just seething because its Beyoncé. She is a true star.
@Realist, you seem mad. We don’t know what will be a smash hit until it happens idiot. No one knew Drunk In Love would be one of the most popular songs out. You people haven’t learn from underestimating this woman. Also, why does it upset you that people like Bey so much. If you don’t care for her that’s fine, but millions of people adore her. Just head to you tube and see people covering her songs, and choreographers dancing to them.
that is good for Bey tho, I will never know why her fans claim her achievements as their own. The way Janet just slayed this whole article tho>>>>>
Still won’t change the fact that BTW took one week and BTD took 2.5 years to go platinum
@Stephy shut up! She didn’t convince anyone to do anything. She didn’t put a gun to anyone’s head to make them purchase her album. That bought it on their own free will. People stay trying to discredit someones success, get some damn success of your own. People always want to bring up Adele, me personally I enjoyed Amy Whinehouse music more. Bey and Adele cater to two different audiences.
“Run The World, Singles Ladies, Diva, Video Phone, Most of the Bday album all were very poorly recieved by the general public.”
Excuse me. Why only list these songs that had NO impact other than SL, when Beyonce has PLENTY of other memorable songs that are critically acclaimed and loved by the GP. Like Halo, If I were a Boy, Love on Top, BTINH, Flaws and All, resentment. ETC
You kill me trying to throw shade, but give a half-ass compliment in the end!
Please give me an example of Beyonce “needing to convince” people to buy her music. She doesn’t sit on twitter begging for people to purchase her music. She doesn’t result to publicity gimmicks in order for people to pay attention. People support Beyonce because they LOVE her music, She’s a bonafide stage blazer, and she stays true to who she is. Whatever she releases, she sticks with it. As long as it’s what she wants, and her fans like it, that’s all that matters
she doesn’t push albums back a million times, searching for hit to get others approval of what direction she should take. Only insecure b****** resort to that.
Adele was a once in lifetime. There are plenty black artist that do her type of music and BETTER, but they won’t see her sales. I highly doubt Adele will see those sales again. She was only hot from Rolling in the deep slayage. The GP has a short attention span. She has to bring it AGAIN, if she wants the same results! Beyonce is unbothered honey. 😉
HELL NO she is NOTT the most influential act by any means!!! The ONLY influential thing she has DONE was get people to say SINGLE LADIES and inspire a dance craze!
BOTTOM LINE IS BEYONE IS THE PERFORMER/ENTERTAINER OF OUR GENERATION!!! I WILL GIVE HER THAT HANDS DOWN!!! HOWEVER, SHE IS NOT THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ARTIST OR SINGER! PEOPLE DONT ASPIRE TO SING LIKE BEYONCÉ OR MAKE BEYONE TYPE SONGS! THEY ASPIRE TO BE A STAGE PERFORMER LIKE SHE IS!!
SO LETS GET IT STRAIGHT, RIHANNA IS MORE INFLUENTIAL BECAUSE SHE HAS INFLUENCED A NEW SOUND AND CHANGED POP CULTURE. THEY ARE THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE OF THIS GENERATION THAT TRULY MATTER BUT NEITHER IS GOING DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL EVER!!
DA DA DA DA DA DAMN!!!!!!!!!! I suspected about 140 Million but 200 Million????? WOW B*TCH! SHE’S THE FIRST EVER! People this along put her a step closer to The Best To Ever Do It! She isn’t the best of all time but she’s moving n that direction. I see broader things happening with this album! Hating H*** are about to SCOLD TO DEEEEEEATH! THE QUEEN is an Walking Living Legend! @ The Woman……I guessed ur seeeeeeeething mad??? THE QUEEN has INSPIRED everyone from Adele to Trey Songz! U fawkin Mad that no one talks about MooMoo anymore? F*g BYE.
Why do people think that just because Beyonce sells a lot of products, she’s going to be the next Madonna? Like I’ve said before. Other artists didn’t want to sell products like this, selling a bunch of merchandise isn’t important to me when you’re a music artist. Btw, the title is misleading. She isn’t the highest paid Black artist ever. Her tour just grossed more. That’s not saying too much when you’re comparing her to artists that performed in a different time period. If Janet was touring now, she would have Bey beat w/o adding second legs and not doing as nearly as many shows. That’s what you call a REAL impact.
PEOPLE DONT ASPIRE TO SING LIKE BEYONCÉ OR MAKE BEYONE TYPE SONGS!
—————————————————-
Lies! There are sooooooo many up and coming artists who are always quoting her. There are too many. These days Beyonces name comes up more than anyone of her generation. And just watching f****** talent shows to see that! She has a whole wiki page of artists inspired by her. Try again.
has anyone is this forum studdied economics…..i swear this blog is full of
rachet fans
The tour grossed over $80 million worldwide. Total grosses for the “Janet. World Tour”, updated with inflation over time with 2011’s average ticket price, brings the gross tour equivalent to $276,986,666.
Look at the time. It was fun being with u fagss. I must go live my life now. Y’all can keep refreshing the page till the next post comes along where y’all will do the same thing.
Must suck spending the whole day refreshing thatghettojuice because u couldn’t get into university cause u were too dumb and now u don’t have a job. Shame.
People who try and discredit her at this point, just sound stupid. I mean there is enough proof in the pudding now.
But I thought Artpop was sLaYinG!!!!! But here you are, clinging to 2011.
“Embrace yesterday, but live for now.”
no if you listen to them. a lot of them gain that idolization from seeing her perform or meeting her.not because of beyonce has songs that have changed our generation or inspired a movement.and NO, i don’t know one singer who has said yes i want to have beyonces voice…
…being REAL beyonce is NOT a singer like a whitney, aretha, joesphine baker,ella or mariah…so NO why don’t you try again
I THOUGHT IT WAS MARIAH WHERE ARE THE LAMBS LOL
*calls people dumb*
*writes as if they never passed the fourth grade*
But anyways, I see you have reached your monthly data limit. Goodbye f**. Enjoy fetching water in Africa while waiting for your next month of data.
@DIgger Bey
I saw your melt down on the previous Mariah post. My presence on this blog clearly got you seething. lmao
@Ciara Harris. I’m not talking about just current celebs who have met her, I’m talking about up and coming artists. So many are inspired by her to sing like her. Sorry just deal. You said no one is inspired by her as a singer, that’s a lie.
LMFAO That Lady Caca stan must be deeper depressed than her lmaoooo. ArtShit is one of the worst album eras ever lmfaooooooooo. 25 Million lost in promoting. Biggest album drop ever on the Billboard charts. Barely scanned gold after 3 months. She even had to bow down to Christina and perform on irrelevant shows lmaoooo. Hun time to slice that monster card. You want be needing it anymore. #RIP LADY CACA 2009 – 2010
@Digger Bey IKR, it’s sad. And at the same time it’s hilarious how they keep trying to drag Lana (even on Twitter and the other forums) when Chartflop won’t even outsell BTD when it’s all said and done.
I love you and am so proud of you
😥
Who gives a rat ass what u bum h*** think lmaoooo. THE QUEEN IS WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO B*TCH N MUSIC CAN FAWK WITH HER! ONE OF THE BADDEST EVER! I CAN’T @ THIS WOMAN SEEING 200 MILLION!
Beyoncé is everything she is because of the groundwork laid by Janet. Period.
I love Bey, but we can’t diminish Janet’s legacy.
LOL I love Beyonce! But lets be real honest her music is nothing compared to 90s Mariah, 90s/80s Whitney, Sade, Madonna, Lauryn Hill etc…
Beyonce does not make classics Halo & If I Were A Boy are excellent songs tho. But as a writter her best song is Me Myself & I & Survivor.
Most of Beyonce’s music would NOT survive off of audio alone. She needs to perform/shake her ass a whole lot to get people interested in her music. Do you guys really think Beyonce’s album would’ve sold this much without those videos & surprise album drops.
The album by it self is nothing special. Nothing is really memorable or classic about her new album. But the videos HELPED alot & the hype (Touring) helped alot.
What im ultimately saying is Beyonce’s music is not classic worthy material like a Whitney or Mariah.
Thats all…
This is why people like Rihanna & Adele & Eminem has already and/or about to outsell Beyonce’s entire career.
Beyonce’s voice is great but it lacks soul & originality. Which is why Etta James hated her version of her songs even tho Beyonce sung them better vocally speaking but she lacks natural emotion.
Singles Ladies VIDEO is a classic but the song itself is not. Everyone hated that song until the video/performaces started coming out.
Beyonce is a VISIUAL artist. She is a legendary performer tho..
Congrats to her. Highest paid but by no means the most artistic or talented.
@krista i get what you are saying about up and coming singers but i just don’t hear any of them say hey i want to have beyonce vocals.i mean beyonce is known for her stage.that is what she bring EVERYTIME without fail…
im NOT taking anything away from beyonce because to be a woman and be black and be so wealthy is AMAZING but she is not the most influential of all time when you have previous entertainers who can sing AND dance her off the stage…
“no if you listen to them. a lot of them gain that idolization from seeing her perform or meeting her.not because of beyonce has songs that have changed our generation or inspired a movement.and NO, i don’t know one singer who has said yes i want to have beyonces voice…”
You sound so ignorant! How would you know how Beyonce has impacted others lives. She has to be doing something right. She’s still here after 17 years. selling better than your faves!
She gets praised left and right. Her songs are covered on every televised talent show around the globe. Several up and coming artists and even the “struggle” artists have cited her as inspiration.
Please take a seat and never get up!
@Ciara Harris. Nowhere in my comment did I say she was the most influential of all time.
“i just don’t hear any of them say hey i want to have beyonce vocals.”
WTF?? kii
Beyonce is known for her voice just as much as she is known for performing!
That’s why she is considered the performer of our generation. She has the voice, the moves, AND the stage presence. Stop trying to discredit her with your own biased beliefs.
As an Icon and Living Legend, THE QUEEN is steadily passing others before her. She’s ELBOWING these Yester Year H*** Out her way and getting to the TOP! YESSSSSSSSSS H***! MORE TO COME! #2014….. THE YEAR OF THE IMMORTAL BEYONCE
LOL i NEVER said she didn’t inspire people i said you don’t look at her and say wow she is a vocalist who has a voice of a LIFETIME or has a voice that people will remember years from now. LIKE i said she is NO whitney,mariah,mahlia, or dionne. AND she does NOT have songs like I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU and AT LAST…
….you look at beyonce and say look at her IMAGE and her STAGE and how she brings songs to life on STAGE!! Thats why we love her!!
and trust MY fav would sing circles around BEYONCE on a sick day…so lets not….im being fair to beyonce and answering the question that was presented…
@Slay_Hive the statement is pure lies anyway. The amount of people I have heard say they want vocals LIKE Beyoncé is too much. Especially young people.
The stupidity of some of y’all. How the f*** is Rihanna more influential than Beyonce? What legends have praised her and hail her as an inspiration? Does she have a whole wiki page of artists inspired by her? Does she have songs that are sang on singing shows as much as Bey’s? Sit your ass all the way down. And to the idiot who said Beyonce doesn’t have classic songs: Crazy In Love,Single Ladies,Irreplaceable,Halo, hell, even “Listen” is one of the most iconic ballads of this generation. It wasn’t a top 10 or top 20 hit,but it will be remembered more than the likes of S&M or Dark Horse. The f****** nerve. Smh
@Ciara Harris. NO ONE IS SAYING SHE IS A VOCALIST LIKE ARETHA FRANKLIN!! But to say people are not inspired by her vocally is LIES. YOUNG people under the age of 20, especially often quote Beyoncé as a vocalist! To say she does not inspire people for her singing is LIES that does not mean we are saying she the most influential vocalist.
You are speaking from your own personal opinion, not how the world sees it.
My god!
Are people that stupid?
$80 Million in 1993 equates to about $131 Million today!
you can’t sit and argue what a tour would’ve done in 2011,that’s dumb. It is 2014, and if we get more technical the tour lasted for two years so for every year it grossed something the inflation value lowers..My god and people call the HIVE dumb!
Look it up,and stop trying to use inflation to discredit Beyonce and still coming up inaccurate like normal.
Umbrella will be more iconic than any Beyonce song though.
You said ‘people don’t aspire to sing like Beyonce’ Which is a LIE! POINT BLANK PERIOD. There are plenty of receipts out there b**** do your research!
Beyonce is walking on legendary lane. She is the biggest star on this generation. Look at who all came and went. Ashunti? Ciara, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Brandy and tones of non factors. Those were her peers and she’s still here while most can’t even sell over 100k and the other is at a Vegas gig. Bey put in the work, she either recoding, touring or filming through out her career.
Crazy in Love>>>>>>>>>>>> Umbrella.
Congratulations Beyoncé. Seriously laughing at the grasping to discredit her in this post.
& Rihanna has been covered many times on the XFactor and American Idol.
B**** still doesn’t have a number one and hasn’t had one since 2010. What’s the matter bey can’t sell like you use to? Looks like being like a s*** and whoring around isn’t gonna save you this time.
Stephy sweety. You don’t know what will be considered a classic 20 years from now. I’m more than sure there were people who doubted Mariah in the 90’s and compared her to the likes of Aretha, Patti, and Gladys ETC….. She still made her mark. Beyonce will be NO different. 😉
Beyonce has impacted this industry for over two decades. She will surely be remembered. Whether you agree with it or not! 😉
Comparing her to Whitney, and Mariah isn’t fair. They are all different artists, from different generations. Beyonce is Beyonce. She’s made a name for herself without trying to be those two. She’s a singer/performer. The reason she tours and grosses more than they could. 😉
Rihanna isn’t about to outsell Beyonce, even with 15 more albums. She’s only ahead in singles. 😉
Everything else you said is subjective and a bunch of baseless b******* fueled with jealousy that Mariah is struggling now! kii 😉
BEYONCE>>>>>
@Slayriah I still see many people today who do the”uh-oh” and single ladies dance. People still say “to the left,to the left” in 2014. Umbrella is iconic,but not anymore iconic than anything Bey has done. #YouTried
ABSOLUTE DEEEEEATH @ That Seeeeeing MooMoo stan @F*giah Flop de Flop. B*tch ur almost as funny as You’re My Flop heading to the charts in hell lmfaoooooooooooo. I want receipts of my suppose meltdown?????
The b**** done Toured off her name alone for over half of this Tour, still outgrossed her peers with no supporting era. And people want to deny her impact?
Worldwide –
37. Lana Del Rey – Born to Die – The Paradise Edition
41. Lana Del Rey – Born to Die
43. Daddy GayGay – ARTPOLF
stream1.gifsoup.com/view2/4677264/hysterical-laughter-o.gif
And someone please explain to me why the QUEEN is brought up on EVERY BEYWHORECE POST??? It’s pretty clear the hive+ are VERY threatened by queenanna. #worryaboutyourfavenotreaching#1since09
@Slayriah she is covered out of POPULARITY. Listen,BTINH, Dangerously in Love weren’t that popular on radio but they are still more critically acclaimed and are covered more,even by singing shows in different countries.
Death @ Rihanan fan calling Beyoncé ‘Beywhoreonce’. #IndustryPussy.
LOOL
Katy Perry, Rihanna, Kesha, Pitbull, LMFAO, etc Have all diminished the worth of a #1 single.
Beyonce doesn’t cater her albums for todays “standard” of what a hit is. She does what she wants, and it STILL outsells her contemporaries. Beyonce is that B****! She can do WHATEVA she wants! owwww
F*** ya’ll haters kii
@Slay_Hive THANK YOU! I find it ridiculous when they compare her to Whitney and Mariah. Those two have already proved themselves,Beyoncè is yet to,but will get there.

No @ Ant That’s not it. The Delusional Ass Lambs (especially Flopiah) are always n other artists post bragging about MooMoo’s 18 #1s or my fav her diamond albums. Now this sh*t has come back and bite them n the ass. I was a fan of MooMoo until Flopiah seeeeething ass. I bet that f*g is somewhere down and out lmfaoooooo. Hmmm. ..I wonder has he bought You’re My Flop. If u h*** can’t take the Heat, THEN STAY THE FAWK OUT THE KITCHEN.

Death at you saying you were a fan of the queen until I started to comment. How did I get you so pressed h**? lol. proceed….
DEATH @this BEYWHORECE Stan responding to me when..*replays grammy preformance* kii
Lmfao bragging about a number 1 single in 2014?HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

@Beyhive_Garbaj
What else does Beyonce have left to prove?
Yas slayriha tell that hive+ p*** yess
@JDEK can someone explain to me why your Queen makes less money than Justin Bieber?
After the hive explained to me yesterday what “Serfbort” is, I was shocked. Not even S&M or Pour it Up is that explicit. Slurping on that wood/grinding on that wood? seriously? I haven’t heard the rest of the album and i have no intention to. I still like Sasha Fierce though. That was a classier era.
Citranny Harris The Next Socialite…..B*tch if ur fav isn’t GOD then STFU. Because no H** is Dragging THE QUEEN n anything.
I’m sorry. I don’t get the whole Tina Turner and Beyonce comparisons.
Sure, she was inspired by her, but they make completely different music and there performance styles are different as well. #REACH
umbrella????? b**** please that song has faded the only iconic Rihanna song so far is WFL irreplaceable halo single ladies and crazy in love are more iconic then any Rihanna songs
Most Influential? I can’t say that, but I firmly believe Beyonce’s up there. Diana Ross and Tina Turner has paved the way for black global superstars. Diana’s unmatched class and beauty was an image that had such a huge impact on women from her generation. Tina’s raw talent was something that made her an celebrated icon.
Whitney Janet and Mariah saw ground breaking success and have broken barriers for women of color. They all reached levels of super stardom that wasn’t ever imaginable. Their in the record books for many having so many achievements, massive tours, awards, etc. They have seen worldwide phenomenal success that may never be duplicated.
I believe Beyonce is carrying a torch. She’s already made her mark. She’s conquered music and film and is building a strong legacy (like those that came before her). It’s hard to say who exactly is the most influential artist ever, but I pity those that want to undermine Beyonce’s impact. It’s delusional to dismiss the milestones in Bey’s epic career! Bey is a one of a kind artist that is also a leader of the pack (for her time).
What does it feel like to stan for a useless dead centenarian MooRIP…I wonder
@beyslutce Stan
At the end of the day your fave is known for being a glorified w**** PEROID! p**** popping ass twerking ghetto HOODRAT from Texas. I don’t need any videos to prove my case unlike you searching hard for one.
Tina was Rock & Roll. Beyoncé makes totally different music to her. Therefore her career is far from copy and paste. She is only similar to her on stage. The same way many other younger artists are similar to legends on stage. But Beyoncé has now established a name for herself on stage, anyone who denies that is delusional.
@Slayriah you dumb f**. There are only 4 songs out of 14 that talk about s**. And it sure is a lot better than “suck my cockiness,lick my persuasion” or “he want that birthday cake”
Hagriah she didn’t say “slurping”. kii I think you mean “surfing” “swerving” LOL
You know you listened to the album. Probably the first to buy it. STOP!
@JDEK Really? Lol you stan for Rihanna yet Beyoncé known as a glorified w****? The self dragging. Continue…
@Behive_Flopaj
“I’m swerving on that, swerving, swerving on that big body
Been serving all this, swerve, surfing all in this good, good.”
“Slip the panties right to the side
Ain’t got the time to take draws off, on site”
@Just Sayin IKR lmfao I can’t even take it seriously. “Searching hard for a video” I don’t need to. WFL and PIU videos alone are proof.
Umbrella > Crazy In Love
Rihanna is a much more marketable artist as she just “is” and is not obsessed with being no “1” as Beyonce clearly is, big handicap and turn off for most.
She has dug a grave with her grandiosity and Jay only encouraged that, both of them (and Kanye) have let their egos get the better of their artistry with Jay and Bey being the worst in this way.
No discernable growth, uber competitive, obsessed with being on top has stifled any organic element within them.
They are a turn off for most.
And Rihanna’s tour performance is not the grammy’s.
Rihanna’s Grammy Stay Performance >>>>>>>Beyonc’es Wet Dog (Bish) Performance
“At the end of the day your fave is known for being a glorified w**** PEROID! p**** popping ass twerking ghetto HOODRAT from Texas. I don’t need any videos to prove my case unlike you searching hard for one.”
WOW?!! Why all of the hate? That “ghetto p**** popper” is currently outgrossing ALL of your faves on her tour. She had the best selling album of 2013, only after a month!!!! She’s obviously doing something right. People LOVE her! The critics LOVE her! 😀
The slayage will continue in a few days! kii
Congratulations to Beyonce, but what I am wondering is if inflation was taken into account
@Slay_Hive
I didn’t buy this album. The album I have is Sasha Fierce.
@ Rosie
I don’t know if you’re still online but I wanted to know what’s your favorite Lanallah song
“Bel Air” >>>>>>>>
“I love it,I love it when you eat it”
“He want that,cake cake cake cake cake cake cake”
I like this. I hate how thirsty she is with this new album.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWCwc1_sYMY
@f** hive+
“The slayage will continue in a few days! Kii” with no number ones kiii kii
Swering, Surfing, Slurping… Does it matter?
The only people who are trying to come for her are the ones mad its not their fave. Or are simply haters. Lets be honest.
Anyone sane can give the girl her credit and MOVE ALONG.
She has been in the game almost 2 decades and still outselling the people at their ‘peak’ (Rihanna, Katy, Gaga etc) She’s already less them 300k away from selling 3 million after 7 weeks. Still blowing up radio and the having club hits. She should be going downhill like the rest of her peers of her age. While carving her name as a young legend at the same time. She is amazing.
“Grinden on that wood grinden grinden on that wood” “swirlen on that wood swirlen swirlen on that wood”
“I can’t wait for you I can’t wait for you to turn this cheery out” “turn that cherry out turn that cherry out”
@slay_hive, have a stadium full of seats, you’re doing the most trying to defend your non-iconic, non memorable song making favorite artist! Gul stop!
@NuffSaid
Crazy in Love>>> umbrella
Crazy in Love was #1 for FOURTEEN weeks, won a grammy, and created the “uh-oh” dance craze. Named song of that decade. It is surely more memorable than that repetive Umbrella mess, that no one remembers, other than the navy. 😉
Beyonce is STILL here, Her albums are selling more than Rihanna’s. She outgrossing her on tour, with a three year old “flop” album.
The GP seems to still be here for her. More people seem to be “turned on” more by Beyonce.
This album has showed tremendous growth. Currently sitting on Metacritc with a score of 86. HIGHER than any Rihanna album!
ALL of Beyonce’s performancs>>>>> Anything by the p**** patting extraresstrial being!
#THEREACH!!!
She’s not the most influential act as people still aspire to sing more like Whitney and Mariah regardless of how much money her tour makes. Yes, she is successful and rich but to me she still doesn’t have the class or the classics as other Diva’s regardless of how much tickets she sells
@Jdek
Ewww
“I love his big ego” it’s too big ” ” it’s to wide” ” it’s too strong” it won’t fit” “I walk like this so I can back it up”

B**** you can take that seat! You’ve been read and you have nothing else to say! *flips hair*
*opens door, let’s you out, and slams it shut* BYE
@slayriah
Beyonce lyrics Hun. Aren’t they so classy 🙂
She is the most influential of her generation. Her name is always coming up with people who were topping the charts whilst she was still in diapers when it comes to inspiring younger artists.
Lmfaooo That Seeeeeeething Miserable MooMoo stan have dugged one of my comments up lmaooooooo. The Struggle. F*g that is far from a meltdown. I was Pharrell HAPPY Hun! Didn’t u see i said MooMoo stans and ur miserably ass. Btch ur too funny. I was over MooMoo anyway after those two flops, just like the public.
Oh so now Rihanna fans can admit Beyoncé was doing s*** before Rihanna? That’s cute.
Hagriah gurl hush!
You know you be slurping, surfing and swerving behind abandoned buildings for change. Don’t act like you’re above it hun. Your fave even slurped Eminem! kiiii
Don’t hate hun! 🙂
You dumbass Beyonce fans don’t even know something called inflation, gross/money worth today is not the same as in the 80s/90s, so no Beyonce did not “outgross” Michael or Janet. Plus, Beyonce needed to struggle almost 200 shows to gross much, Michael and Janet basically never did over 80 shows and still grossed high numbers.
As for the question ‘Is Beyonce the most influental act of all time?’ LOL is that question a JOKE?
If we put this much energy into knowing our true spiritual selves than putting this energy into people that don’t know you exist this world would be a better place human existence is much more than this.
@ROYALKEV I agree! Bey’s getting there and she’s the front runner for her generation. There were those some of her peers who came before her and she’s surpassed them by far. Say what you want about her. She doesn’t have the most mindblowing voice like Whitney did, or she’s not a skillful dancer like Mike or Janet or she’s not the best musician overall but this woman works HARD and is an amazing performer. Plus she WANTS to be great and respected. That’s what I love about her the most. So many artists are out there who have the talent but they have to want it for the accolades to happen. It’s more than stans, sales etc. It’s that inner drive and passion that keeps her going. Proud of her.
The same b****** hollering “classy” were bent over last night for V-Day, settling as a sideline h**. kii STOP
“Beyonce lyrics. Aren’t they classy?”
Start Over, I Care, Dangerously In Love, I Was Here, Me Myself an I, Halo, If I were a boy, Resentment, Jealous, Superpower, Blue, I miss you, Disappear, Hello, XO, Listen, Heaven, Best Thing I Never Had, Pretty Hurts, Smash Into You, etc.
Her padded numbers are just that.
Her singles failed, the general public (not black blogs) were underwhelmed with her recent performances and musical offerings (despite the padded numbers).
Rihanna is the more interesting brand at this point. Beyonce played herself with this era and exposed/proved what many had been observing for years (she is not a trendsetter, she jumps on what hot and is not bringing anything new creatively or artisticaly. She never did, she was TT, Diana Ross, JLO, Janet, Britney on steroids.)
Let’s all stay tuned and despite your feelings, the GP is more interested in Rihanna and she brings more, she has more depth than Ms No 1 Beyonce, she has shown vulnerability, weakness, failure all of which people respect at the end of the day rather than a I am No 1 attitude, especially self designated.
Beyonce is played out and the machine is just blowing more smoke at this point.
Umbrella was fresh and new and had everyone adding eh eh eh, CIL was Amerie with a twist.
Worldwide Umbrella Smashes CIL, maybe in the hood CIL >Umbrella but never worldwide, if you claim so you are really a sad delusional mess
@Slay_Hive
LMAO. I go to school. I’m all about education. Proof of Mariah and Eminem babe?
Beyoncé is the jack of all trades. Its RARE you get someone like her. Not even people like Janet can say that. But that’s all I will say. MOST influential of all time? No. Very influential? Yes. Most influential of generation? Yes.
Congrats Bey! Look At You Lol 😀
without Michael and Janet who the f*** is beyonce? mj been in his grave for years and still bringing n more checks than beyonce! they tried though
@Sandra your the same b**** that said Rihanna has better ballads than Bey and that Bey doesn’t have longevity. You should be the last one calling anyone a dumbass.
Lmao @ R**** being marketable. Too what??? Yea she has been the biggest Sl*t n music since 2008. R**** will never be on THE QUEEN’S LEVEL! The only thing she got going for herself is hit singles. Because the h** is an flop album seller. Great artists are more known as album sellers. R**** has 7 and hasn’t passed 10 million sold yet. THE QUEEN S*** BRICKS IN THIS H** N THE US AND WW. I so luv BEYONCE 1.7 MILLION >>>>>>>>>>> Every R**** Album except for Good Girl Gone H**.
Rihanna will not be where Beyoncé is now at 32. I’ll give her 3 more years. Rihanna is peaking, Beyoncé is past that and still doing big because she has her acclaim and talent to fall back on. Rihanna relies on radio and image too much as a smokescreen for what she lacks. Those things will fade. Mark my words.
@Nuff Said funny cause CIL was WAAAAYYYYYYYY more successful,the biggest hit of 2003. But whatever
BOW DOWN B*TCHES
WW sales: Beyoncé 80,000 (2,710,000 total).
Slayriah 🙂 … Deep down you’re not like this
I’m proud of this woman
@Slayriah why has Mariah been playing it cute since she revived the Warning shot? You know,when Eminem threatened to release those photos? Wouldn’t she have shut him down if he was lying?
US chart preview: @ericchurch 280-300k | Frozen 85-95k | NOW 49 80-90k | @BrunoMars, @Beyonce 40-45k | @tonibraxton & @KennyEdmonds 30-35k.
Bruno’s old album and Frozen slaying Beyonce.
*since she received
US album sales: @LanaDelRey, Born To Die 965,000.
I thought Lana hit 1,000,000 already. oh well.
Proof of her numbers being “padded”???………. Still haven’t seen ONE receipt.
Performances? She’s only had ONE. This era. Most talked about, and shot her single to #2. 😉 Her tour is still expected to gross over 200 Million. Rihanna’s?
The only singles are DIL and XO. DIL is a smash hit for urban and Pop. Xo hasn’t been promoted yet, and still sitting in itunes top 100 AHEAD of Mariah’s new single AND CRTFY. LOL
How is Rihanna the more interesting Brand, when Beyonce has outsold her album in the U.S. by 500, 000 copies in less than two months, without the aid of a “#1” single?
Why has Rihanna sold only 10 million albums with seven while Beyonce has surpassed 15 million with five?
Shouldn’t she be ahead with all of her “hits”. People love her more, right? LOL NO!
Rihanna is nothing more than a POP star. Beyonce has surpassed that stage ages ago. She’s entering a stage in her career Rihanna will have to work to achieve. She will have to deliver more than quick singles, and thrown together albums, and step up her performance game, If she expects to be legendary like Beyonce! LOL
CIL was released BEFORE amerie hopped on the trend that Beyonce started. She worked with Rich Harrison first! smh
CIL is WAYYYY more impactful that Umbrella. Don’t even try it with that WW mess. DIL the parent album even sold more than GGGB.
Beyonce is so played out she’s outselling her competition without even trying! YAAAAAS
@slay_hive, You aren’t scaring anyone with your distasteful choice of words and let me get something straight, “little girl”. I’m grown so I suggest you stay in a child’s place. If you spent more time at someone’s college or university, and not TGJ or food stamp office you just may have a shot at life. But you are too busy spending countless amount of hours online trying to defend someone who’s daughter’s s***** diapers are worth more than you. I said what I had to say about Beyonce and I mean it. Please don’t flatter yourself heifer, this is only the internet!
@BeyHive_Minaj
I though you said you were a Mariah fan? LOL… I’m amazed at how hard you stay riding Feminem’s 3 incher. Mariah is the queen. she doesn’t have time for crack heads like him. Death.. If Eminem had pics his psychopathic ass would have posted them a long time ago. He’s all talks. 100,000,000 records sold in the US. you mad or naw?
Tickets were much cheaper in those days… Total grosses for the “Janet. World Tour”, updated with inflation over time with 2011’s average ticket price, brings the gross tour equivalent to $276,986,666. This is from Wikipedia, so it might not be very accurate, but still if they would be 10% off the Janet tour would still have done better 😉
I don’t know where you guys get the energy to fight and drag famous people who have more money than you. You sit here fighting, insulting each other and acting all crazy for nothing. Yall need to go to psychologists especially you! You need help
Billboard Hot 100: #65(-15) XO [8 weeks] & #88(-18) Partition [5 weeks]
Death @ how hard Beyonce is falling down the BBHOT100. Slay me KING Bey… #FuckingSlayME
Why are people bringing up Rihanna’s name here. Stan for your faves without bringing others down.
Toni and Babyface opened with 67k. lol
The Itunes Chart in Hell. #1 You’re My Flop by Walrus Carey KIIIII
@Slayriah he would have released if he wanted to,Mariah’s lucky it was 2009 eminem and not 2004 eminem. And really? Crackhead? He almost died from addiction. That was low,even for you
The people bringing up Rihannas name first are Beyonces haters. Sit tf down and stop playing victim.
SLAYONCE. LMFAO at these pressed ass essay.
So now that she’s a rich b****, why doesn’t she want to help out her brother who is on food stamps?
This woman is heartless, she brags about her money (see Diva song) and yet she cannot extend an olive branch to her brother.
I have never seen a woman as evil as Beyonce who just sits comfortably in her mansion as her brother eats govt cheese.
Worst part is she cannot be bothered even when her brother is struggling to survive. You are sitting on an over $200 million dollar flush; brag about how you hate broke people (see Diva song) and cannot even extend a little bit of assistance to your starving brother who is now on food stamps.
“bragging about how you hate broke people”
Didn’t rihanna just say “I hate broke b******”? #byefelicia
Agony is being related to Beyonce, unless you kiss her ass like Solange, she is not interested in you.
She may hate her father who is 100% responsible for her career success but her brother is innocent in this whole thing and she cannot even take 10 min to visit him, see how he is doing or help him out; isn’t she making over $200 million dollars according to this story? She is so heartless and evil.
What has her brother ever done to her for her to be so vile, disgusting and evil towards him; to the point where she is happy seeing him eat govt cheese?
Congratulations. She deserves it. I can’t wait to see her in London 🙂
Not that Hogiah stan talking about sales of Today. Frozen has yet to sell over a million hun. So nice try. THE QUEEN has sold more albums than everybody n the top 10 minus Em. With her latest album. 1.7 MILLION N A COUPLE OF MONTHS! I know a certain hog won’t see these numbers at all with The Art Of Being An Acholic Hasbeen B*tch.
@BeyHIve_Minaj
Really? I didn’t know Eminem almost died from addiction. I don’t keep up with him. Wouldn’t have said that if I knew. Anyway, if Eminem had something to release… it would have been out already. End of discussion. bye.
If Beyonce “buys” everything… Then why hasn’t she “bought” herself a number one?
@LoveBird…. This is the women that interfered with her mother and fathers relationship. Beyonce is human and has feelings. Would you jump at the opportunity to help someone who split your family apart? Yes, the child is innocent, but unfortunately he is a constant reminder of a lot of pain. That woman married MATTHEW and had a child by MATTHEW, not Beyonce.
End of Story, XOXOXO

@really??
When all else fails and you are being dragged for filth, take cheap personal BASELESS insults at someone’s life! kii !
I am a fan of Beyonce’s just like you take time out of your day to throw hate, I choose to use some of my free time defending her, It is only a hobby. Don’t take the insults too harshly dear. Like you said it’s only the internet!kii
Just like you U’m grown honey and working towards my degree. I have never had to step foot in a food stamp office hun! u b****** get your little Medical assistant certificate and think ya’ll are doing something! BYE!
AngryBird just STFU. Did THE QUEEN stick her penis n that h**’s v*****???? So she don’t have to give nobody nothing, if she doesn’t want to. That w**** was looking for a come up anyway. What the hell was she doing messing around with a married man anyway? #B*TCH BYE
@#Beautiful. Anyone with common sense knows the only evil one is Mathew IF its true. And the mother should care more about her child than to make it public for him to look back and read when he gets older. Thats even more damaging. Beyonce doesn’t have to have anything to do with that child in these circumstances. The mother is thirsty for press I believe she is demonizing Mathew.
Lovebird: “This woman is heartless, she brags about her money (see Diva song) and yet she cannot extend an olive branch to her brother.”
Mess. When she recorded “Diva” she was worth like less than $50 million.
*SIPS TEA* SHE JUST KEEPS WINNING
DEATH@ Lovebird acting as if he lives with Beyonce and knows what she has or hasn’t done for her b****** “brother”
STFU. You go too far
It’s not hate. that Jhene Aiko tune is rocking the hoods right now, Toni B is back on radio, Zendaya will be growing up soon and coming harder, I am glad variety is back.
The stranglehold that the Bey machine tries to maintain on the industry and on the public is typical strategy for Xerox and other products, seize market share, and that is what was used for Beyonce but thankfully the grip is over, it was working for a while but the GP has woken up and want more than Beyonce and she has to learn not to be threatened by this but learn how to hold her own as Rihanna does depite a competitive arena. Like Janet, Madonna, Jody Watley, all the 90’s acts, it wasn’t about being no 1 and cramming down peoples’ throats, it was about the love of the music.
Beyonce and Camp, seem to love being “No. 1”
She is used to having no competiton or ‘competition’ positioned to make her look better. I think if she rearranges her mind a bit, humbles herself and accepts she is not No 1, she is just another artist out here like Pink, Rihanna, A Keys, ofcourse with some unique strengths, and makes a product from the heart, not to be no 1, she may be able to bring something the GP will respond to, until then she can go somewhere with her 50-11 vanity videos and disposable songs.
@Nuff Said STFU with the damn essays!!!! She is WINNING and you’re mad. NUFF SAID.
Congratulations to black version of Celine Dion (see flawless lip singing)!!!
I can’t at @Digger Bey always riding Mariah’s d*** lol. Mariah’s 5th album sold 25 million sweetheart. Keep gloating over the measly amount Beyonce is FINALLY managing to sell. God knows she’s never been able to push albums before now.
Beyoncé’s album 1st, 2nd and 3rd week sales were bigger than all these artist you’re TRYING to compare her to. And she did it without promotion. No ONE is this generation is on her lvl. No is signing a $50 million dollar partnership with a brand, they don’t have their faces on soda cans around the world, college courses on them. Their every move doesn’t become headline world news. No one is on Beyoncé’s lvl. She has the biggest brand.
THE 2000S THE QUEEN OVER 35 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD WW >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hogiah18 thru 20 Million sold WW. . US…..THE QUEEN 15 MILLION SOLD WITH BARELY 5 ALBUMS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hogiah Rainbow, Floplitter, TEOM, E= S*** and Imperfect Flop all combined. #STAY MAD B*TCH
Highes grossing pussay of all time is more like it, jay z is.just noe enough for her gold digging ass shr just HAD to f*** our damn president , smdh.
Highest grossing pussay of all time is more like it, jay z is.just noe enough for her gold digging ass shr just HAD to f*** our damn president , smdh.
Lol even Bitchbird is struggling to drag her these days. Resorting to talking about her personal life you don’t know anything about really? Lmao. Pathetic and low.
Almost as good as Celine I must say. She still needs a bit of work to make sure she doesn’t get caught like this though:
http://youtu.be/M6vkblNGmYk
THE QUEEN IS JUST ERASING HOGIAH FROM EVERYONE’S MEMORY. I guess that’s why a certain someone is PRESSED LMAOOOOO
@Digger Bey Funny you’re choosing Mariah’s lowest selling albums LOL defensive much? Why not pick Mariah’s 1st-5th albums and compare them to Bey’s 1st-5th albums.
Mariah Carey: 10 million
Emotions: 7 million
Music Box: 30 million
Daydream: 25 million
Butterfly: 8 million
You were saying? And please don’t bring that albums don’t sell bull. Adele didn’t have any issues selling 21. And don’t bring race as both Mariah and Beyonce are half black. And don’t bring Tommy as Bey had Matthew buying her Grammys. (Beyonce also has little to no competition but I won’t bring that little morsel up)
Mariah is a legend. Like her or not she will ALWAYS maintain her status. I don’t have anything against Bey and recognize that she is heading there herself, but I will not allow her stans to attack a legimate artist when there’s real trash they could be attacking.
@Commn Sense
Don’t forget about Mariah’s first compilation album (#1s) which sold way more than any Beyonce album and is the best selling international album in Japan. + Mariah’s debut album sold more than 10 million.
This b*tch @ Common Sense H** this is 2014. Once again, not 1995. Hogiah couldn’t go platinum if she was showing off her dried up 50 year old body on the album cover. And b*tch fawk MooMoo and u too. Tell F*giah flop de flop that sh*t. He’s the one always licking THE QUEEN’S C******. #EAT MY D*CK B*TCH
“Tell F*giah flop de flop that sh*t. He’s the one always licking THE QUEEN’S C******”
Digger continues to seethe @ my presence. poor thing. I got them mad.
lmao @slay_hive working towards a degree! A degree in what little girl, lol?!
And @DIGGER BEY, u can have a stadium full of seats as well!
I guess posting old record sales makes Walrus Carey stans feel good. Because that can’t post any great sales of today KIIIIIIII
Haha how tf are u gonna try to call the hive out for shading Mariah, when that old ass lamb is the one bashing Beyonce…on a BEYONCE POST? lol. Idc who Mariah is. U can’t expect them not to come for her when Slayriah is the main one instigating this Pointless ass Beyonce vs Mariah b*******.
Lmfaooooooooooooooo I have an certified stan n F*giah flop de flop. OMG. The worthless thing luvs seeking my comments and reposting them lmfaoooo. Hey stan? Why is XO ahead of You’re My Flop ( Flopternal) on Itunes ?????????????
Oh! And @lovebird a.k.a The Great Lacefront
B****, if I had a bag of nickels, I’d slap u in the face with it. Since when was Beyonce obligated to do Mathew and his child any favors??? He had an affair and impregnated someone else when he was married to Miss Tina. How tf would u feel if somebody f***** over ur family like that? There family is torn. That s*** takes sometime to get over…u insensitive lunatic.
Its actually the other way around. You are stanning for me. That’s why you broke your thick ass neck running into Mariah’s post to check if I commented. I see you talking about me on Mariah’s post before I even arrive.
@really
pre-nursing with a minor in drag-a-b****..Old woman 😉 “
Lol @ Really No Thanks Hun. I Don’t attend MooMoo concerts KIIIIIII
@Tyler
bxtch you need to get back to reality. Beyonce stans are always checking for me running to Mariah post checking if I comment. They are the ones who are pressed. bye
Just to help those understand inflation and when it’s brought up in relation to Janet’s tour.
On the janet. Tour, Janet performed for 123 shows. She sold 2.5 million tickets during those dates. Thus far Beyonce has performed for 108 dates on the Mrs. Carter World and has sold over 1.5 million tickets.
If the average ticket price is $100 ..
2.5 million tickets X $100 = $250 million
Beyonce has grossed over $188 million and sold 1.5 million ticket. The avg ticket price per head is about $125 (divide 1.5 million into 188 million to get the figure)
2.5 million tickets X $125 = $312.5 million
Now you get a better idea how they arrived at nearly $277 million figure based on 2011 ticket prices.
Perhaps a tad confusing, but I hope that helps.
OMG! THE UNEARTHLY STRUGGLE! XO IS AHEAD OF YOU’RE MY FLOP(FLOPTERNAL) ON ITUNES LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I KNEW MooMoo WAS AN IRRELEVANT HASBEEN MULE. I GUESS THAT MEANS MORE PUSHBACKS FOR THE ART OF FLOPPING! POOR HOG. #PUSHBACK QUEEN & STRUGGLE QUEEN
#73 XO……..#94 You’re My Flop(Flopternal) BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. #STRUGGLEIAH
@slay_hive, a degree in pre-nursing, lmao!!! What exactly are you pre-nursing little girl? Beyoncé’s career! I’m done with you. You are too much, and you aren’t fooling anyone with your false acclaims. We know the truth!!!
Tyler That MooMoo stan is such an Bottom of The Barriel Pressed Miserable h** lmfaooo. No one checks for that thing. The thing is always running its mouth but when its time to back it up. The thing is no where to be found. That’s why the thing is soooooo mad @ me. #MY POOR STAN
LOOOL
know the truth?? kii How would you know that doll? Unless you know me personally! More baseless claims! #MESS
P.S. Just because the government is paying for yor ving arrangements and you have to scam financial aid for income doesn’t mean we all are in the same boat hunty! Get ya LIFE!
Lol Mariah stans stay stalking Beyonce post and wonder why the Hive drag their box fav.
*your living arrangements 😉
Death @ these “inflated”, “adjusted” and “equivalent” comments
If Beyonce has passed your fav’s total lifetime tour gross, then she has and she’s a greater touring artist.
Deal and move on.
In 1913 ticket prices were maybe cheap but your fav’s tour’s ACTUAL gross was $78 million NOT $179M.
We don’t see be “adjusting” Beyonce’s album sales to older standards when comparing her to better selling ones who had their runs in far better sales climates, or even comparing her own album sales, so just STOP this foolishness.
The same people trying to shade someone for blogging are the same people who sit on twitter All day everyday #MESS
@slay_hive, little girl sit down please. Go to school and get an education because we all know you’re a drop out. You’re tired, miserable, and currently using your last resort, “the internet”! Get a real like little child and stop trying to belittle people for the sake of Beyonce’!
That’s it @ H20. Deal and Move The Fawk on. Some artist stats cant stay on top forever. Every generation has big artist. Some of those artists are gonna do better than the people they where inspired by. Janet, MooMoo and Celine were all new artists at one point. They were trying to get where MJ, Aretha and Tina was. Michael was heavily inspired by James and he passed him.
I’ve already cleared all of that up with you! I have NO worries, I can assure you that 😉
Get some self esteem and take a few lessons in reading and you will know how to drag without getting in your feelings and throwing the same baseless wack shade!! I’ve demolished you and you are now #Dismissed
This post is inaccurate.
Adjusted with 2013 average ticket prices & inflation, Janet Jackson’s “janet.” World Tour grossed $276.9 Million dollars. Her “Rhythm Nation” World Tour, adjusted with 2013 inflation & average ticket prices grossed $261.6 Million dollars, remaining the most successful debut tour by any recording artist ever.
Beyonce still has a ways to go before she surpasses Janet.
that’s not the highest paid its the highest gross and if you tour the same place twice in less than a year of course it will be over 200 million she’s been through N.America twice now she’s going through Europe twice
She is clearly the most influential black female musician of all time. Other names like Michael Jackson and Madonna also come to mind for the overall most influential. Either way Beyonce would be in the top 3 overall at least and has the potential to pass the other 2 if she hasn’t already.
You guys are missing the point. Beyonce has made more money than Janet off all her Tours combined, not just one Tour lol.
@slay_hive, little girl sit on down! I see you are still trying. Give it up heifer!
@slay_hive, you are such a joke and your mom knows it! Get a life little girl before you try and step to a real one like me. Your life revolves around blogs you lil minor!
@H20 It just pains them to give her credit.
@Slay_Hive Drag honey.
and i see you are still refreshing this Beyonce post ! kii PATHETIC!! Don’t you have more important things to tend to? kii
You should hang it up! L
P.S. Don’t let what i choose to do with my free time be any concern of yours
I’ve dragged you bald. accept it and move on. OLD LADY LOOOOL
Um lets see..
RN Tour grossed $65 million ww 1990. eq to $261,645,313 in today’s.
Janet world tour grossed $80 million ww 93-95. eq to $276,986,666 in today’s.
Velvet Rope tour grossed $78 million ww 98-99. eq to $178,750,000 in today’s
All For You tour grossed $67 million ww 01-02. eq to
$126,879,310 in today’s.
Rock withu Tour grossed $13,750,000 state wide 2008
Number Ones, Up Close and Personal Tour grossed $16 million ww 2011.
So apparently judging from Janet’s 1st 2 tours alone Beyonce hasn’t done nothing new and will continue to follow in Janet’s footprints.
Greg:
I wonder, how did you adjust the gross to today’s money? What method did you use? I’d like to do the same to MJ’s tours but I dont know how
CONGRATTSSS. MTV>>>>> YOU
My Queens up there with legends. Funny no one is bringing up the people in her generation. She shits on them.
People like some of Beyonce’s songs and music. But she isn’t really influential. She just has a great machine behind her. Y’all are going crazy over this tour, lol she’s touring the same places more than once, that’s why her tour is doing what it’s doing. As far as her sales? Where’s her diamond album? It doesn’t exist. Beyonce fans love saying that she toured without new music. Lol she trolled y’all to get those coins.. But y’all are too naive to see it.. She had a documentary/screening/OprahInterview & the Super Bowl.. This helped
her tour to get off the ground. She is very strategic. She has to do a lot to guarantee most of her success. And even if Adele didn’t get another huge selling album, the point is she has one, and earned it when it was much harder to do so. Beyonce fans are full of excuses..
Of course Beyonce is influential. We are not in the 90s. Young people are extremley influenced by her. To deny that is simply delusional. People are always saying how she influenced them. Just the other Demi Lovato said her Tour was based on Beyonce.
And also Pink has more dates than Beyonce yet still could not outgross. Save the excuses
Its always the same people trying to discredit her.
Outgross her*
Will somebody please put these MooMoo stans out their misery. Once again, these sad delusional muthafa*kers like @ The Woman are talking about diamond sales. F*g THE QUEEN doesn’t need diamond sales to be Great. She has sold over 130 million recordas and the biggest artist of her generation without diamond sales. She has OUTSOLD that Hog u stan for n the 2000s without diamond sales. #SO BYE F&G & GO BY YOU’RE MY FLOP
Are u h*** to slow? No one is debating tour gross numbers. MTV said she’s gonna gain over 200 million for the tour. Luv Janet but her or the other legends have never done this before. #THE LIVING LEGEND THAT IS BEYONCE KNOWLES
Lmfaooo U can tell Hogiah Carey stans are some idiots and are dumb ass hell. They all think a artist must have diamond sales to be Great smh. Aretha and Tina both doesn’t have diamond albums and BOTH ARE MORE ICONIC AND LEGENDARY THAN Walrus Carey. Just some knowledge for u broke non factor h***.
Some more knowledge for u hating h***. If this stands, not only will THE QUEEN become The Highest Paid Black Musician Ever. She will also hold The Highest Paid Black Actress of All Time. She got over 20 Million for Dream Girls. #THIS B*TCH IS TO ICONIC
Rihanna is a baad bish just finished watching her Brixton Academy Rated R show and Lisbon DWT, she is naturally raw and talented. She wasn’t in preschool bootcamp to be a star, she was born one. Her facial expressions are priceless, she is so natural and sensual. That Rihanna Reign, can’t wait to see what she has next.
And Cold Case Love knocks so f’in hard. She has some great tracks! Beyonce catalogue seems so bland compared to hers, Rihanna is outshining her tbqh, her stans will never face the truth, but Rihanna is that bish, that is why Bey jumped on the Rih train but she don’t have the R factor.
so patting her p**** and licking her mike is art, performing drunk is iconic? Wow, i didnt know she was so talented. Oh and yeah 13 no 1s when over 7 have you featured on them aint nothing special. Taylor Swift floors this b****, 1 mill first week sales twice in her career. F*** Rihanna, with all that influence the b**** cant even donate to her native country’s charities
B*tch just Stop It. R**** isn’t sh*t. R**** is barely worth 90 million, while THE QUEEN is gonna double that in her tour alone. Money that’s coming to her. R**** is an singles artist and flop album seller. R**** jumped THE QUEEN???? F*g come out the clouds and land. R**** is an simple basic s***. I can find plenty women roaming the streets who will outshine that h**.
It’s hard to compare Janet’s touring numbers in 1993 with Beyonce’s in 2013. Not only do we need to account for dollar inflation but the general inflation of concert ticket prices. Concert ticket sales have grown astronomically in the last 20 years compared to the rate of inflation.
Congrats to Beyonce – she definitely has earned her place in music history – but this isn’t an even playing field. And I think those of you who lived through 1993 can vouch for me when I say that janet. mania was massive compared to Beyonce’s success. Janet was everywhere. Anything she put out, even random B-sides like And On And On and Where Are You Now were hits on radio.
Different era, different time.
Who said that having a diamond album had anything to do with being a legend? Lol u are very foolish. Beyonce just couldn’t do it. Loooooooool. She’s such a “KING” but doesn’t have a huge selling album loooooool.. “TEOM” came out after “DIL” & sold a full million copies more, haha & that was doing Beyonce’s big selling era, if u can call it that lol.. @Diggerbey is fuming, keep it up.. “DIL” is falling, go & save it.. “XO” bombeddddddddddd…. Keep that anger up.. Lol
Congrats ! Smh @ the Stan war. Rihanna is not beyonce’s peer she is Katy and gaga’s peer, but she has surpassed them so they compare her to greater artist like Beyonce
All I can do is laugh at this rediculous comment. You must be young and nieve because only a child would make a comment like this. Where do you think Beyonce about her stage presence Janet is the originator she inspired practically every female artist of our generation. Bey is performing in the house that Janet built. Please don’t if you don’t know your history as a matter of fact when Bey has a tour nominated for an Emmy award like Janet did with her “Velvet Rope Tour” still known as one the best stage productions by a female Entertainer, notice I said “ENTERTAINOR” a true and influential/Iconic/Living Lengend one at that!
Why can’t you people just give credit where it is due? The hive does all the time but you people see past it.
Beyoncé’s fans are the last ones who should talk about giving credit…. Most of her fans are too busy bragging about her allegedly doing better than others. Everything is a competition with y’all. A bunch of hypocrites..
They run when you ask them why she copies so many other artists also!
what does any of that matter? (Bey never toured for 4?) None of the stuff you said diminishes this accomplishment. If janet decided to give her tickets away, that’s on her. But perhaps because of that, she’s not at the top. And MJ? maybe he should have charged more, then maybe he wouldn’t have had all the financial woes he had before he died. ANd let’s not forget, this is their job. It IS about the money. You’re just trying to spin the hell out of this news in an attempt to make it seem not that noteworthy. Move around with that.
That is a damn lie. We do not say anything about bey until she is mentioned. And you should learn the difference between bragging and defending. Then again you are nothing more than a hater waiting to see her fail. Keep counting those days though @thedumbass
Yall aren’t getting the point Beyoncé is bigger than life ahead of her time.
Your fave popstars are trying to have endorsements while Beyoncé is working on partnerships.
Janet has never grossed $200M+ I love her but stop trying to discredit Beyoncé lol. Beyoncé is the biggest musician right now
Fortunately run of the mill sites like this don’t hold too much weight, it does to u all tho. Y’all act like Beyonce really gives a dayum about y’all.. It is only because of Yall’s delusion that people dismiss Beyonce.. When u get down to it, outside of her Performing/Entertaining she is really no better than the other leading ladies. Sure her tour is doing great, but she’s circling the world twice just to accomplish that, which goes back to her having to work harder than everyone else to see her success.. If her album or “Song” does well then focus on that, it’s always she’s running this and that when really she isn’t. Is she doing well? Yes, but it’s really not to the degree that her fan exaggerate it to be.. I could really care less about wtf she’s doing. She doesn’t pay me.. Quettawannabe
Artists that are dominate do well single/album wise.. They don’t try to force u to appreciate their music.. If its organic then that’s a different story.. She also isn’t the biggest musician either, her albums main success cones from the US. She’s one of them but not solely..
BWAHAHA I CAN’T……Is this f*g @ The Woman Serious? U people see what THE HIVE has to deal with lmao. XO Bombed??? DIL is falling??? But where oh where You’re My Flop???? XO the bombed single is at #73 while You’re My Flop (Flopternal) doesn’t EXIST LMAOOOOOOOOOO
Hmm…Somebody must have rode the slow bus n school lmfaoooo. Once again ur saying, why THE QUEEN doesn’t have dianond sales?? You’re basically saying she isn’t nothing without diamond albums. When clearly some artists REIGN over MooMoo and her diamond sales. Again, For Your Slow Seeeeeeeeething Ass. THE QUEEN doesn’t need diamond sales. She has OUTSOLD MooMoo n the 2000s without any. Over 130 million records sold and counting. Oh…she does have one in Brazil.
This b*tch is so damn retarted and slow lmfaooo. I think he should be worrying about why Walrus Carey single has EXITED THE ITUNES CHART. Hun u will never see The Art Of Being An Hasbeen Hog LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hogiah is So Struggling. She can barely find success n any song and she can barely reach Gold certifications KIIIIIII
All i Know is BEYONCE AKA KING B AKA THE QUEEN IS AN LIVING LEGEND! MJ BAD AND THE BADDEST B*TCH N MUSIC PERIOD! WE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DAYS OF MJ, TO SEEK BADDER! THE CRITICS AGREE! YOUR FAVS AGREE! SO GET IN LINES H*** AND FALL TO UR KNEES AND WORSHIP HER! #2014…… THE YEAR OF THE IMMORTAL BEYONCE
Now this is real BAD BISH STATUS.
@Little Johnny you triedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd it. The question should be when will your fave learn to sing/perform. Beyoncé like every one knows is a vocal beast so yes jealousy made you trieddddd it.
@ROYALKEV Yes I so agree with you on your comments above.
Tell me how has mentioning someone’s race ever overshadowed their achievements? We live in America, buddy. You know the place where little black boys can be gunned down by impotent and angry white men. The place where the black unemployment rate is nearly double what it is for whites. So please miss me on all this “I don’t see color” stuff. It’s tired. It’s simple. If a group that has been as traditionally oppressed, spit upon and treated with disrespect as black folks have, want to highlight the several instances of wonderful news, I don’t see why it bothers you or anyone else.
This site (however “run-of-the-mill”) didn’t make this news, it reported it. And no one acts as though Bey gives a damn. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t. And I’m actually cool with that. That’s how celebrity works. You think WE think she’s somewhere in her penthouse or luxury vacation home reading this stuff? haha. And you say outside of her performing and entertaining, she’s no better than others. To that I say, you do know they’re all performers and entertainers. So if you’re saying she’s better than most, then that’s actually saying a lot. If she circled the globe 27 times and added a trip to Uranus, that’s cool too. She still grossed the most. Why you mad? You one of the several chicks kicked out of DC?
How is she trying to “force” people to do anything? By promoting it? By performing the song live? By talking about it? By doing stuff that every artist does when they release new material? YOu’re reaching.

Pop diva Janet Jackson is expected to sign a four-album contract today with Virgin Records worth an estimated $80 million–an unprecedented fee that analysts say could set the stage for another round of music industry mega-deals.
The pact is the biggest ever awarded, surpassing the $60-million mark shared by such superstars as Michael Jackson and Madonna, whose six-album deals included film and joint-venture record label components.
The 29-year-old entertainer has been the target of a ferocious industry bidding war since her Virgin contract expired last year. Jackson is so hot that sources said Walt Disney Co. President Michael Ovitz met with Jackson’s representatives three weeks ago, hoping to woo her with a huge offer that included film opportunities. Jackson starred in John Singleton’s 1992 movie, “Poetic Justice.”

Excuse me, Janet is a Billionaire and so is her husband, Beyonce and Janet are in two different lanes:)
Mariah owns all the rights to her catalogs, some of her music, even the movie that flopped years ago, which got her bank account looking crazy because of her ownership status.
Michael Jackson career she can’t touch.
So the answer to your question is NO
Chitown sorry to disappoint you, but Janet isnt a billionaire. Just google “Janet jackson is not a billionaire” and you’ll get your answer.
People need to stop comparing MJ to other artists the man paved the way for other artists who ALL PAY HOMAGE! The gap between MJ & all these other performers is HUGE! Beyonce is a great for sure but MJ is freaking KING period there will never be another
Thank you!!!
I am genuinely thankful.
