The ripple effects of Beyonce‘s self-titled surprise album are still being felt eight months on. Indeed, beyond elevating the star’s career to even loftier levels of greatness, it appears the visual LP – which is double Platinum in the US – looks set to impact the way music is released…globally.
Details below…
Billboard are reporting that the set, which was released simultaneously around the world on December 13th, is being cited (alongside piracy) as the catalyst for a game-changing shift in how music is serviced to retail. For, after several decades of regionalised roll-outs for albums, major labels are now collectively leaning towards a new system that will see music released everywhere at the same time.
An excerpt from the feature:
The change was spurred in part by Beyonce’s most recent surprise release, as well as piracy from Down Under.
The music industry is on the verge of adopting a global street date that could see all countries issuing new releases on a Friday, probably beginning a year from now, in July 2015, according to industry sources.
While some sources say its a done deal as far as the major labels and the IFPI and RIAA are concerned, other sources insist the issue has yet to be fully decided. The main reason why the industry is moving toward a global street date — instead of letting each territory pick the day that they feel is best for their respective markets, which is the way it works now — is to cut down on global piracy.
With Australia now having a Friday street date, digital piracy begins almost immediately around the globe, as the new release is shared across the web before fans in the U.K. (which has a Monday street date) or the U.S. (which has a Tuesday street date) have a chance to purchase the music legally.
With varying street dates in different markets, the labels are able move their artists around in order to take advantage of marketing opportunities that coincide with the changed street date. Now, labels can still do that on the week of release, but will have less opportunity to schedule a high-profile appearance on the release date itself.
While sources say that digital music service providers like the Friday street date, not all physical merchants have given the change their blessing; some indie labels and indie merchants are opposed to having the global street date on Friday.
Finally.
We sincerely hope this comes to fruition as a shake-up has been long overdue. The current system is entirely outdated and essentially feeds the monster that has become internet piracy. It’s just not feasible to expect maximum returns on music when it’s been made available in another region days earlier. For example, in the UK, songs are often given a six-week run on radio before officially hitting iTunes. Yes, six weeks. Expecting an audience that have increasingly become accustomed to an “on-demand” lifestyle to wait for an official release (on mass) isn’t as plausible as it perhaps should be. Times are a’changing and the music industry needs to adapt accordingly.
It would appear the proposed switch is more album-focal at present. However, fingers crossed, it’ll include singles in the long run.
Clearly, marketing and promotion is the biggest concern for labels (i.e. how will artists manage to be everywhere at once?) Yet, from where we’re standing, it’s a necessary challenge the industry needs to throw at itself. Perhaps then we’ll see the creative release roll-outs that the business has been starving for for so long.
Exciting times.

Girrrrll Yaaasss.
And they say Beyoncé has had no major effect on the music industry…. *Kermit sip*
The queens impact tho.
The impact though.
My Momma. I love you mommy <3
This is such a good idea. Most of the time albums leak because the label send them to countries in time for that countries release date but don’t know what to do when people in those countries put the music online. I think this is great because it means everyone gets it on the same time.
What are you talking about? This is horrible. The charts come out on Sundays in the UK so if you put out an album on a Friday you only have two days to get in enough sales to slay first week.
Good Point.But if the whole industry of music changes then they could change the date of publication of the charts or just give the dates of the music that week put to the next week.However,I don’t like the idea because not everybody is Beyonce and can release an album worldwide with those sales with no promo.Which means that if they change it how are they going to promote worldwide on Award shows ,Tv Shows,and what not!Oh and as much as I like Beyonce her songs,her voice, and performance style sometimes people overrate her like she’s a God and that’s not ok.
But she is no Rihanna. Big B*tch pleaseee, she can’t even get a #1 single, for her stans to gloat about.
because number one singles are more important than commercially, critically acclaimed, classic albums that have a good chance of sweeping the Grammys… *sips tea*
LOL @ “commercially, critically acclaimed,” you mean brought and payed for credits?
Its got universal acclaim. Stay mad. The only thing you can think of is she ‘bought it’ to doscredit her? Why isn’t the rest of her discograhy the same then?
Facts on stacks??? LOL Get your FACTS right b****. F*** outta here!!
Goobye child. The only time Rihanna can release is November.
@fact on stacks, receipts??? or be forever seated>>>>>>_/_/_/_/_/_/
QUEEN BEY RUN DIS!!! Whilst Unaflopagetic??? The New Flop??? Yours Floply??? *sips tea*
Taylor swift still shits on Bey when it comes to album sales so grab a camp chair and have a seat
Not when Taylor’s wall’s are bigger than the Kimberly hole. so>>>>>>>>>_/_/_/_/_/_/
*Kanye Voice* “Yo Taylor’s Swifty, I’m happy for you and imma let you finish but…” *sips tea*
And this is why she is #1 b****, current Queen. She is one step ahead of her pop peers. This album was monumental, for both of its strategy and acclaim. If it doesn’t get album of the year at the Grammys I will be very surprised.
Haters can continue to seethe!
Not here for this at all to be honest because different release dates are why my fave can spend a week in Japan promoting without having to worry about anywhere until the album comes out there. How can anyone be expected to do effective international promo if the album comes out at the same time everywhere in the world?
This is only good for local girls like Cheryl. Girls like Nicki need different release dates in different markets to promote right without neglecting other ones. If you wanna stop piracy make tougher laws to deter people from doing that s*** instead of f****** up good promo plans.
You’re saying this like Nicki is actually global.
The venues Lana plays in are about the size of Nicki’s dressing room so keep it cute.
Please. Lana already has done arenas internationally. Can Icki book a middle school cafeteria outside of English speaking markets?
GET EM ROSIE!!! YAAAASSSSS MY BISH WILL SLAY YALL!!!
But wait, the only reason Beyonce’s method worked is because it was a surprise release.
Is AKA ‘poop’ yet?
This is probably something that has been in the process of for a while now, so I pretty sure Beyoncé isn’t what triggered this euphony lol. Also in all honesty I don’t see it making that much of a difference, people will still end up putting it online and it will still get downloaded illegally. Artist just need to worry about putting out good music that people won’t mind spending coins on.
‘The change was in part spurred by Beyonces recent surprise album’
Fat ho with cottage cheese leakn from yo pusssy. When will adele FAT ass tho??? Ho
LOL they really didn’t need beyonce for this, this was a simple concept anyone could have done LOL at the over hype duh! Girl BYE!
Girl Bye.
Stay pressed facts are facts hunty DEAL! #girlBoom
Boy Bye.
Bloop deal!
@facts on stacks
I’m pretty sure your an idiot because in the article they mention beyonce and her surprise album being an influence, so why hate on facts u dumb h**?! Lol
Geee such a negative hater gator …get yo life together 🙂
You stupid f****** b******! THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING. Beyonce hasn’t come to my country to do promo since IASF and now she won’t have to because of this stupid rule.
Mad?
Boy Bye.
Queen Bey. I believe the best is yet to come for this era.
Hoorah for the local girls but I won’t be celebrating cos my fave is international. How do you expect a b**** to be everywhere all at once if she wants to global slayage.
Cling to 1999. Is that why S****** Jean only went top 10 in the US?
S****** went from diamond plaques to barely getting a gold certification, you have no room to speak. >>>>_/_/_/_/
She’s not called the Queen/King for nothing. 17 year’s into her career and still influencing the game. Haters will bow down and deal!!!!
This just gives Beyonce an excuse not to do international promo so please tell me why y’all are happy.
I bet you that Cheryl stan is going crazy right now thinking her fave is going to chart in the U.S.
http://youtu.be/UlHyLixXn3s
That video is despicable as her career.
Also Beyonce album was successful but over 50% of the sales came from the US so even if she released the album only in the US she still would of sold about the same amount.
Um no. It would not have surpassed 3 million. That is NOT the same. And unlike the person in your avi Beyonce had no international promo besides BRIT awards in the UK.
Ummm she is Touring for the album.
Released all the videos. That is
Major promo.
Um no she it is not. Please tell me which Tour was dedicated to the album?
And the videos were released, AS PART OF THE album. So where’s the logic?
Reading some of the comments,people here just read the title then rush to comment.lol
Girl, they’re out here happy when they don’t even know what it means for their faves.
DEAD!
I’m sure CherylSoldier will be over the moon seeing as Cheryl doesn’t promote outside of ITV studios.
Beyonce choosing to release her album specifically to itunes, was a major deal and smart move. I knew that the way she released her album would cause a trend. Beyonce is the SMARTEST business woman in the industry. #HANDSDOWN! All the “She’s dumb, She can’t interview, She’s illiterate” Reads can be thrown in the trash.
But Beyonce can’t interview though. It’s not shade, she’s just not a good speaker.
She’s shy and has admitted this on several occasions. Just because someone has trouble speaking in front of an audience, doesn’t make them “dumb”.The real Beyonce is different from the Beyonce on stage.
Honey ha impact tho
Honey your funky cumm covered lips though!
Licks lips
THE HIVE MUST NOT GET TOO EXCITED NOW
ALOT OF ALBUMS OUT THERE HAVE HAD WORLDWIDE RELEASE DATES BEYONCE IS NOT THE FIRST TO DO SO
Beyonce really is that b****. Shes almost 2 decades in she should be slowing down. Instead she just keeps growing her star will soon implode! Im not saying its 100% down to her but her influence is undeniable.
Boy Bye.
OK, lemme calm down cos I’m about to get mad as f***. Nicki slays internationally with every album cos she gets different release schedules for every country so I want whoever made this rule up to tell me how my Queen can be expected to promote where she needs to promote without flopping somewhere else JUST because she wasn’t there when the album drops.
Ken?
Boy Bye.
You want to discredit it her. But at the end of the day the proof is in the pudding. They have her credit. If it was your fave you’d be yasssssing till your head falls off.
Elijah better come correct with his promo 2bh, I need him to make me and my p**** proud.
Boy Bye.
Ho lev!!!!
WATCH THE THRONE
BORN THIS WAY
JUST TWO EXAMPLES OF ALBUMS THAT WERE RELEASED WORLDWIDE
I BET MOST OF YALL JUST COMMENTED WITHOUT READING THAT LONG ASS NOVEL
We’re talking about Grape Juice…All Sam had to do is bolden the 1 sentence Beyonce was mentioned and people here won’t read anything else.lol
If they want sales to pickup they need to get rid of streaming. It only hurt artist, people will stream the music not like what they hear or don’t fill it’s purchase worthy and illegally download. Or just only listen to it throw streams and not buy. Another reason this won’t work is because people illegally download album weeks before it’s released because once albums are available to stream on itunes the songs can then be ripped and put online.
This sounds like a good idea but at the same time how will artists that actually rely on promo and not a dedicated fanbase remind people to buy it?
This is gonna hurt Lana babe, cos she’s bigger in Europe than she is over here.
At least Lana has a strong fanbase. If you don’t believe me go to any of her concerts.
However I really see this hurting artists like Katy, since she (finally) seems to be declining.
Greatest Singer Of All Time = Girl Hi.
Who Runs The World, Beyonce? = Girl Hi.
Stan For King Bey? = Girl Hi.
Don’t Stan For King Bey = Gworrrrrrrl Bye!
Sit dog!
The only people happy about this are the dumb stans.
Kii!
The only way I see this working is if they don’t allow albums to stream the week before release, I mean some of these artist will see some cute first week sales but like I said if people don’t find it purchase worthy the decline in the second week will be brutal.
Someone said Nicki wasn’t global. Ha ha ha.
PFRR was #1 in every single country she went to to promote it in and she went on an INTERNATIONAL arena tour on the back of it even though it flopped compared to PF. In fact, I don’t think Nicki could sell out arenas in the US even though she can everywhere else so she is the LAST person you should be calling local.
I never thought of it that way but that’s true.
No lies were detected. Anybody who thinks Nicki is local needs to check her stats cos her Asian promo has always slayed. Didn’t she go to Australia to promote The Re Up too?

They probably meant number one on iTunes. But you still can’t deny that nicki is not local.
Can’t you read? I see multiple number ones. Get some glasses or clean that c** out of your eye. W****.
LOL how do you not go #1 in Australia by your second album? They pretty much stan everyone.
LOL NUMBER ONE IN THE US AND CANADA
@Catfish…honey eat me
GO COVER YOUR BODY WITH SOME NUTELLA AND ILL BE EATING YOU ALL NIGHT
But yet this overhyped album barely sold over 2 million in the U.S.? People give this thief too much damn credit. She’s no God or Messiah. She’s just an average mediocre performer who tries to pass p*ssy snatching and booty popping off as choreography. Not to mention she recycles the same ole BS every time she releases music.
Death at you trying to discredit selling 2 million in the US in less than 8 months. IN 2014. Name one other female act who had done this? In the past two years or so?
Honey she IS A GODDESS!!! DEAL HO
Struggling to see how Rosie thinks that Lana (who can’t even sell out a Walmart in America) is doing better than Katy whose sold over 3 million copies of Prism already. Just tryna figure that one out.
B**** no one said Lana is doing better than Katy.
And don’t make me come for Iggy now. Lana has sold out arenas globally and venues of 10K+ in America? Has Iggy sold out a White Castle yet?
Mop the floor with this tramp Rosie.
Honey Rosie will drag u for filth! U betta recognize
This sounds good. Album sales are literally in the PITS. They need to experiment with new methods.
Speak for yourself, Bruno is selling just fine.
No you are speaking for yourself. Artists like Bruno are in the minority. So therefore, album sales are still in the pits. You can get a #1 album without even selling 100k these days.
B**** you speak for YOURSELF. Bruno is selling fine and that’s the end of it. How dare you backchat me?
Look troll. I never said Bruno wasn’t selling fine. Does that change the fact that album sales are still in the pits in general these days? No.
Now get out if my reply section and don’t come for me unless I send for you. Because last time I checked, you were the one who reached and pressed reply with your scabby little fingers to ME.
Honestly I don’t see how this will help curb piracy but oh well what do I know
Adele > Beyonce
Quit overhyping this wh*re.
(Looks at name) honeyYOU called someone a whoore???!!
More PR bull from camp beyonce. I hardly call an album that sold 3 million ww, 2 million of that in the US, a ‘success’.
I WONDER WHAT GIMMICK BLEACHYONCE WILL USE WHEN HER NEXT ALBUM DROPS FACE IT SHE HAS RESORTED TO FLAUNTING HER FLABBY THIGHS AND CELLULITE INFESTED ASS JUST TO STAY RELEVANT AND GET HER DUMB FANS TO BUY HER UNORIGINAL CRAP SHE CALLS MUSIC
Exactly. She’s working over time to pay
For stuff like this. 🙂
Beyonces album was deffo a game changer. It opened peoples eyes, mine included, to the way the industry works.
Please, what did it change? People are still releasing albums the same way as always, some selling more than this one did.
What did it change? Did you not read the article? Stay mad. People like you will never give Beyonce any credit where due so there no point even arguing. She could resue a baby from burning building and you would still say its PR. So please go away with your hating asss and come back when you’re not so biased.
Has roman reFLOP hit a milli in the US yet?
her surprise release changed the music industry
Can we just laugh at Rosie talking about ANYBODY’s sales when she stans for Lana.
Yes we can. Ha ha ha.
Heeheeheehee.
AKA still hasn’t sold 100K worldwide yet. Take several seats.
Hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahaaaaaa.
You laughing at Lana when your industry p**** fave still can’t get a release date in the US?
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA.
HA HA HA.
HA HA.
Ha.
That’s what everyone says about Rita though. F****** the biggest EDM producer in the world for tracks all for it to backfire like its nothing and effectively end your chances of breaking into the US. Now THAT’S a kii.
SLAY ROSIE!!! SLAY!!! THESE HOEZ CAINT HANDLE U!!
Not people trying to come for Lana with Katy. DEATHH. Why hasn’t Teenage Dream outsold the following albums with 5 #1s and a rerelease.
;;
Loud
Born This Way
21
Any Taylor Swift Album
Any One Direction Album
Any Bruno Mars Album
;;
Why is Born To Die on the verge of outselling it world wide soon.
Why can’t Katy get another hit off prism ?
Why isn’t Prismatic world tour selling out?
* not selling out
WHY CANT PRISM GO DOUBLE PLAT DESPITE HAVING TWO US NUMBER ONE HITS
Exactly, not only that she also performed at every award show in 2013and she still sold less than Beyonce.
@Skyfall. The same goes for Rihanna
LOL NICKI IS GLOBAL YET SHE CANT MANAGE TO SELL OUT HER TOUR DATES
Yaaassss bish draaaag ha!!!
LOL 8 MONTHS AND THIS BYTCH STILL HASN’T OUTSOLD UNAPOLOGETIC YET? LMAO
#WHATKINDOFSTRUGGLE
I’ll cry with laughter if she outsells it after award season. Then you’ll have to find a new reductive drag for the 5th time. All while Gaga remains UNplatinum.
Let’s not act like Lady Gaga isn’t right behind Rihanna in the lines of the best selling artist of this generation.
Britney Spears 160 million records sold
Rihanna 150 million records sold
Lady Gaga 140 million records sold
And does that change the fact she’s flopping and becoming a FAD after just 5 years while Beyoncé is getting bigger and better after 17? No.
But why is Gags flopping already? Just 5 years in the game and already fading into irrelevance. Her antics and costumes is what sold her subpar music. The GP is over that. The reason she is struggling now.
@Slay_Hive right? That just proves she is a massive fad the fact she cant even go platinum like 2 years later. DEATH. Even Beyonce’s worst selling era went platinum without a Top 10. I CANNOT. Gaga will not be a legend if she disappears after this.
LOOOL How long did it take Rihanna to sell 3.5 Million with UNA?? and where is GAGS??? kii smh
LOL Yes it has you stupid b****!!! F*** outta here!!!
“Can Icki book a middle school cafeteria outside of English speaking markets?”

Chiiiile
All jokes aside I think some of you need to do your research of Nicki. She actually slays globally.
Anyone can get a #1 or a top 10 in the UK. It’s very easy tbh. UK listeners just buy image, pretty much.
All the Spice Girls members got a #1 or a top 10 respectively and even Nicole Scherzinger. That tells you something, that if you focus on that one market you’ll be getting top 10’s like crazy.It’s nothing to boast about.
Tell Tinashe to get a top ten over there then.
And actually it isn’t easy getting #1s in the uk….. Top tens maybe but #1s no
Tinashe’s main focus is on the US Market that is actually working for her quite well. But I didn’t really get your second comment, are you talking about the Spice Girls members getting #1’s? Well all of them got a number 1 except Victoria Beckham but she still did well in the top 10. And she never sung a song in the group and was always quiet but gets a hit on her own. That tells you something.
Skyfall
Don’t forget Cheryl Cole… God I don’t understand the amount of EDM and generic stuff we buy…
@Beysus I know.
Everyone disliked her last song that sounds like Jessica Simpsons “Public Affair” but it becomes a hit because of her image. That’s how it works.
Let’s not act like the US market isn’t corrupt too. Fancy being number 1 for how many weeks out of nowhere. Katy Perry and her Teenage Dream era where she bought all then number 1’s so she could compare herself to Michael Jackson. Tinashe 2 On still being at number 1 for 4 weeks…oh wait that never happened.
But…. who asked you? LMFAO!!! Bahaha. Take a tissue to dry up them tears of that devastating drag I gave you @DemLessors aka @FutureCiara. Nobody asked you nothing lol but you’re still pressed and ended up finding my comment all the way down here. Ciara is still in the wasteland with her lost caucasian sister Jessica Simpson. Take a high seat — /
Get Rest and Stay Pressed-_/
Sincerely, #TeamTinashe 😉
Hmmm tbh piracy is not an issue that easily combatted. I can’t see it making much difference. But yes for BEYONCE. Keeping the haters pressed simply for how others praise her! I cannot.
Beyonce set out to change the game and she sure did. Go girl! You doing ya thang and setting the bar to a new high! #GoodFriday
Friday should belong to Beyonce… While Rihanna only gets Rihvember…
My Goal Is Not Bigger, It’s Quality… – BEYONCE
Beyoncé keeps writting her name on the books of history while her peers keeps sucking d*** of producers for hits, sleeping with radio programmers, spending more time on Facebook and Twitter than rehearsing for live performances. Beyoncé’s IMPACT is REAL, in the real world.
Beyoncé her fifth consecutive number one album sold 828,773 copies worldwide in three days, becoming the fastest-selling album in iTunes Store history. It spawned four singles—”XO”, “Drunk in Love”, “Partition” and “Pretty Hurts”—and has sold 7 million units globally. According to IFPI, in the last 19 days of 2013, the album sold 2.3 million units worldwide. As of July 23, 2014, the album has sold 2,026,364 copies in the US and has been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. As of June 2014, “Drunk in Love” has sold 2.8 million copies in the US. As of July 2014, Beyoncé has sold 4.5 million copies worldwide.
Your name pure death!!! But all jokes aside h** your gonna get your foot chopped off.
WAAIIIITTTT!!! So Beyonce has outsold UNA?! Bey selling singles and albums. Funny how the navy claimed she was “local” and only sold albums..kii
BEYONCÉ outsold UNAFLOPLOGIC months ago. Don’t forget that the album is out for $16 not $3 like UNAFLOPLOGIC. R****** will never sell anything for over $1. Don’t forget that it took that piece of s*** of irrelevance over a year to go Platinum after discounts after discounts while the IMPACTFUL SELF-TITLED did that s*** twice in 6 months without promo.
oh the inflation is real
Yeah, this ain’t happening in the UK. Stupid record labels here have a 2 month wait after the US release. Anaconda being released here on the 5th October 2014. It’s all about reaching the highest chart position here and not long term sales figures. It would be to much of a change to the system every artist will flop.
*too
Boo! Try harder! 😀

DEM LESSORS
There’s a rumor going around that Rihanna will feature on Beyonce’s single BLOW..
Her Impact is superior @ this point, no pop girl is touching her right now. Slay Music Goddess
According to IFPI, Unapologetic has sold 2.3 million copies in 2012 and 1.8 million copies in 2013 with total of 4.1 million copies worldwide.
Rih had a #1 SINGLE (& a Worldwide #1) & still only sold 4.1 Mill. HOW Beys sell 400K more when her album costs $More???
Don’t forget BEYONCÉ is out for $16 while you can find UnaFLOPlogic on the shelves of Dollar Tree and K-Mart.
This could be good tho, I like this idea
Yes this worked for David Bowie, Beyoncé, and a few others *majorly for B*, but this isn’t a good idea. Kid Cudi and a few others have already tried and their album WW hasn’t seen 500k. Yes the industry needs a shakeup, but this isn’t the way to do it. If they really want to make it, they’ll actually spend money on correct promo, bring back music on music channels, and take time to develop their artist instead of cloning artists directly from the mid 80’s & early/mid 90’s.
King B’s impact is just so undeniable! How many ways has this woman left her mark already?!
If people want to buy your music, they will. If not, they’re just not that into you. Doesn’t matyer ifan aalbum leaks or not, cause even on the day of release, I can download for free if I choose. How bout artist make great music that people want to buy and support.
Hold on, why is the tinashe stan coming for cheryl when Cheryl’s singles have all outsold tinashes biggest us hit? It’s easy to get to number 1 in the uk yet my faves new single has been out for 3 weeks and has already outsold 2 on? Also why can’t 2 on get in the top 10 anywhere?
And not the iggy and rita stans coming for Lana’s sales! She’s doing pretty well this era. 800k+, iggy will probly do that in 2016. Rita can’t seeing as her tracks are being given to Alexis Jordan.
Your fave only has #1’s and top hits in the UK because that’s her ‘target’ market. Which is full of image that people are buying. You gloating about that is beyond laughable. And Tinashe is working the US Market fool, that’s the tough market especially for somebody who is doing Alt-R&B. SMH! So dumb. Tell her to get her Visa and swim good because right now all she gets from me and EVERYONE in the US is ‘Nothing.’ It’s time for you to look for somebody to stan for.
And not the tinashe/beysus stans having absolutely no knowledge of the charts again. The uk charts are based solely on sales and some streaming. So because cheryl or another artist sell a lot first week, they go number 1. Single releases are like album releases there. It is much easier to top the charts in the us IMO because of the YouTube views/streaming, radio, sales, etc. tell me how tf Harlem Shake went number 1?
You wrote all of that for nothing.
Your fave is all image and less talent. That’s what UK listeners buy. Bye! and try telling your fave to cross the rivers and turn up with the big boys/girls in the US (Worldwide) for a try 😉
But I still don’t get it. Your fave has no top 20 in any territory. In addition, my girls latest single, a number 1 released just 3 weeks ago, has already outsold your faves us single, out for months. The absolute self drag. You better keep it cute tinashe because you will get absolutely dragged on this site.
LMFAO!!!!!
Who? Like how I DRAGGED your friend? LMFAO! Don’t try it. And you won’t get it because your fave is absolutely inactive over here in the states and other countries. She’s in one market and that’s the UK? How are you going to compare that to somebody that actually has a hit in the US compared to the easy market in the UK? Smh! Illiterate people like you need to sit and know that the UK market is all about looks and focus. Every Spice Girls member, Nicole Scherzinger, and Farrow Crow all have hits for one reason and that’s because their working one easy a** market, where it’s basically about looks. Farrow Crow’s last song was utter garbage but it became a hit well for a week… lmfao. Nothing to boast about and feel sorry for you stanning for someone like that. I absolutely did nothing to you but help you whenever everyone would drag the Lice out of Farrow Crow’s head. Like don’t let me have to add more damage and drag you more endlessly. LMFAO! Have a nice day and stay pressed 😀
Also, why are people mentioning cheryl? She doesn’t and has never released her music in the us. She literally has no interest. This doesn’t affect her.
This tinashe stan lmfao. First, it has the audacity to assert its illogical, subjective opinion as fact. Second, it has the nerve to try to drag with a 24 peaking us single that has absolutely no certifications and no release in any other country. Third,
it’s trying to say that Cheryl’s number ones are about her looks when everyone knows the only reason why tinashe even has a deal is because she’s been f*cking for tracks. It will scream and drag when her debut album flops. Her stans have the audacity to come in here and try to drag when their fave is trying to drop a debut album off of a 24 peaking single that has never seen the top 40 on the iTunes chart. Sit.
Who is Farrow Crow? Nobody that we know in the United States. Tell her to get her Visa and we can talk. Get Rest and Stay Pressed! 😀
She’s that girl that just outsold your faves discography with a 3 week old single.
LMFAO What? Okay, lol when Tinashe hasn’t even target the UK.
Like Nobody cares when anybody gets a #1 there.
It’s real embarassing to gloat about it.
HASHTAG: #LearnEnglish #ComeCorrect #GloatingANumber1UKSingle? #ReallyLol #WorkOnThatVisa #TheDocumentaryOfDraggingContinues
Just to get you together really quickly: if you could read, which is a self drag when you’re calling people “illiterate” and to “learn English,” then you would know that I just said that my girls three week old singles sales have just outsold your faves ENTIRE discography. There was no mention of a number 1, even though it was her ninth.

And they say she’s not iconic.
It has more to do with piracy more than beyonce
The industry needs a shakeup so this is a start but more needs to be done.
