In reply to keepichi.

People like to forget that Beyoncé has been in the game almost 20 years now. She's already had a multitude of hits. How do you think got to where she is today? She's now at the point where she doesn't HAVE to have another #1 for the rest of her career. Some people are only as good as their last hit (Rihanna, Taylor, etc) whiles others have longevity solely based on their talent and craft (Beyoncé, MJ, Janet, Whitney). MJ and Whitneys last number 1s were 14-16 years before they died. Janet's last number 1 was also almost 15 years ago. Beyoncé's was only 7 years ago and still managed to create hype around a surprise album and tour and she just had a #2 hit single. So save the "singles" talk for the basic bitches.
