Beyonce found herself on the receiving end of criticism last week when she was accused of appropriating South East Asian culture to create her role in Coldplay’s ‘Hymn for the Weekend‘ visual.
This week, as she undoubtedly joins Jay Z to celebrate the release of Rihanna’s ‘ANTI’ LP, the icon has learned that the heat she faced has done little to melt her commercial power in the market.
Full story below…
The visual was shot in India and was condemned by critics who condemned it for presenting the country as “an exotic playground” with no regard for its layered and complex culture.
Fortunately for Beyonce and the Chris Martin-led band this criticism seems to have done little bother their Indian fans, as said fans have pushed the cut to #1 on iTunes.
The jam appears on their latest LP ‘A Head of Full of Dreams‘ and will be delivered live during their forthcoming set at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.

damn! i was waiting to open this and see she actually got a number 1 BILLBOARD single, but I’m ready for some new beyonce music anyway
Poor Anti!
#ThrowingStonesFromRentedGlassHouses?
The single will go to the top 5 after the superbowl
What pisses me off is this site talks about this song as if it’s a Beyonce song. It’s Coldplay “featuring” Beyonce and it’s shady AF that you snub the real artist on their song!!!
It’s not even a real feature. Just her vocalizing. Rihanna did more on Princess of China! Anyways. Hymn is my jam!
Yeah I totally agree. As a Beyonce fan, I can’t even take this site serious anymore.
Yea I’m with you.. But also Beyonce has been catching all of the backlash about the song. When it flopped everyone said Beyonce flopped. Not Coldplay. This whole culture appropriation scam had Beyonce’s name all over it.The fact the Beyonce was in the song at all brought so much controversy. As soon as it was announced everyone attacked her saying that she’s trying to copy Rihanna. But, I’ve barely heard Coldplay mentioned throughout the entire process of THEIR song. It’s weird one and disrespectful. For all parties involved.
ITunes India though?
Call me when she has a song that tops the chart in a WESTERN country.
Anyway… CONGRATS COLDPLAY!
“Beyonce… Number one single”.
So ya’ll just gon’ shade Coldplay like that?
This site stays licking her clīţoris dry!
Yea they did Coldplay wrong for that lol they could’ve at least said “with Coldplay”
True. But if Beyoncé is going to be on the receiving end of the backlash for a song she’s barely on, then she should be on the receiving end of the praise as well. It’s fair. When bad press happens, it’s beyonce’s song, but when there’s something positive, it’s suddenly Coldplay’s song again? Nah, it’s fine the way it is.
Lmaooooooooo in India
Good f****** BYE!
You’re really scrapping the bottom of the barrel to make Beyoncé seem more successful than she actually is!
Have several seats
BB200
#86 BEYONCÉ 107 WEEKS
#173 IASF 97 weeks
#174 4 66 weeks
#98 Born to die 209 week
Now, who says Self titled is frontloaded, when it has such longevity? And with superbowl coming, IASF will reach 100 weeks, 4 will passed 70 weeks on chart. Lana spent its 4th year on chart!!!
F’n Queen !!!!
I don’t remember she had any promotion or cameo last week that 3/5 albums re- entered. Furthermore, ALL her albums spent 60 weeks and above which some artist struggle to achieve. Like britney, ever since her third album or fourth I’m not sure, the rest of the releases spent like 40 weeks? same goes to xtina and A keys. This is an amazing achievement!
Her music is going to shoot up the charts after the Super Bowl! Im really hoping for a new single! But most likely won’t get one lol!
Idk we might actually get it people in the industry are claiming that they’ve heard the single & her album is done ! So I think we should be hearing something this month or hopefully this week
I’m just ready for possible new Beyoncé music this week , I know “Formation ” is going to slay
She’s coming out with a song called Formation?
YAAAASSSS SHE’S COMING!!! hymn for the weekend is making its rounds!!
I’m still laughing at how the NAZI GOT BURNT IN THE PREVIOUS POST. THE HIVE WENT A** SHITT ON THEM..LOL
Kiii i know!! I was getting my life from the gawds!!! In that post hahaha! Poor Slavi! Got slashes for 10 lifetimes ?
click bait
Lmao it was i thought it was going to be one of her actual songs. Im tired of them calling this a Beyoncé song. Its rude to Coldplay. Anyway still another win for the Queen!
And it’s rude for you to be alive but you are 🙁
You should take your own advice and drink that bottle of bleach! Cause gurrrl after Friahnnas first day sales…. (sips tea and throws grammy and Fentys forhead)
I can’t believe Queen Bey graced that shxt stinking country
The song is gonna chart really high after the superbowl…CAN’T FUCKKING WAIT
And I can’t wait for you to, “SURPRISE” us and drink a whole bottle of bleach.
Ladies first….i’ll drink mine after you drink yours first. Don’t be bitter bitchh, i understand FRIHCUNT is struggling right now and dat’s why u’re bitter. Sorry sis, I’ll drink day bleach after you….I REPEAT LADIES FIRST.
Beyonce is coming to slay this era..yaaaassss
Instead of being perched on this site, talking about someone slaying…why don’t you pick up an extra shift at Papadaux’s and save up to get a new hairline, instead if relying on black ice.
B**** get a life and after that life insurance. Tired weak ass attention seeking biitch!
Take the cap locks out of your voice when you’re talking to me. Stop acting so broke because I pay you no attention. Are you mad that you’re built like a cinder block? Or are you made that you can’t afford to fix that prolapsed asshóle that you sold off of 151st and you can no longer make a living? Meanwhile I’m over here in Time Square shopping at Louis Vuitton and sitting pretty. Don’t use up that tax money too quick sis, I know that EBT is about to run out you bum b******
Unless she outsells Adele she won’t be slaying!!!!
How so? Who else is giving adele numbers b****? She is in her own lane. Beyonce is going on twenty years boo. She will slay!!!!! BYE
TGJ stays reaching for hits, with their T-Rex arms. Mess.
I actually like the song. Which obviously could have been done without bey. Who gave minimal contribution. iTunes India though. It will go up the charts after the Super Bowl performance. But after being on tidal for almost a month and iTunes, I expected it to catapult after the video dropped. The song knocks.
What’s a Beyonce?
You have no room to talk. Aren’t you from Botswana? And aren’t you living in a hut? I’m SURE you haven’t even been out of the country. Simmer down ashy
These mad hoess wouldn’t even care for the song or this post if Beyonce name wasnt attached.
Instead of down voting me and sub-commenting, be a real b****** and come into my reply box you scarey ass heaux
You are one sad delusional biitch if you think you are that important. lmaoooo Go suck on that d**** lonely scizophrenic faag
*Remixes “Higher”*

THIS WATERMELON GOT YOU FEELING PRETTY! SO I PARDON YOU BEING IMPOLITE! I just really want you to drink bleach, and play-yay-yay innnnnn the street.

DRIIIINNNKKKK BLEACH!
DRINK MORE THAN YOU’VE EVER DRUNKKKK BEECH!
Girl stop trying so hard. It’s not cute boo!! You come off as a fat ugly insecure b****
Funny thang is Indian people love the song and stan hard for it while these so-called western are so b*** hurt and so offended on their behalf, Indian people are getting their life. Anyways gratz to Coldplay and Bey…
????
Wanna talk about somebody being mad, yet YOU always get so PRESSED when Mark & Lovebird DRAG your ass with actual RECEIPTS. As long as you cling to Molly & Annalise then you can’t claim to be, THAT bitchhh. I don’t know NAN hœ who can’t stand on their own two feet. I don’t know NAN hœ who can’t hustle to get their hair follicles revitalized. I. DONT. KNOW. NONE
I barely be on this site and this delusional rihtarded biitch couldn’t wait to jump her crash dummy ass in my reply box! mentally unstable hoee smmfh
So not on the Hot 100 then?
Are we talking about Beyoncé or slay_hive’s body count?

Lmfao! Not the Navy washing up on shore like a dead body after being left stranded in the middle of the Artic Ocean ???????
Honey anything to deflect from that pathetic ass 95,000!!! lmaooo I am screaming
Honey, They’re seething in their own words and can’t deal. Fenty is a laughing joke! Fistopher did higher numbers with hardly any promotion.
Girl i wouldn’t even try to drag if i were them. They will always end up looking basic and stupid, like there fave.
Lol…PUSSYBIRD ran away from that post. The dragging was epic as f****. Frihjection is done, and Anti tour is also flopping. The end is near foe the NAZI. Maybe if FRIHKY was more humble, the dragging would not be this tragic.
I swa that post!!! i creamed at how much shiit that black biitvh has talked over the years, only to end up looking stupid AF!!! Karma is a b****!!! At this point, Anti-Platinum certification will struggle to see Gold. How is that possible and her dumb ass fans call her the Digital Queen?!! I’m ready to drag this hoee!!
Pathetic is not having a number 1 single. Pathetic is recycling the same material, choreography and backing track for her last three garage band tours. Pathetic is stealing the idea of a surprise album from David Bowie and passing off as her own, aka a STUNT. Pathetic is inflating your betworth when you’re really only worth $250 mill.
No b**** Pathetic is your nonsensical weak ass reads and your try-hard persona!!! Go shove your brother’s diick back down your throat stupid hoee
Rihanna: 30 Million Albums sold WW + 120 MILLION singles sold, a number your fave will NEVER see>SchemeYoncé: 15 Million Albums sold WW,SOLO…the numbers she sold with Fallen Children, don’t count.
—
The gag is Rih has done more in 10 years than your fave.
Beyonce has sold 15 million albums in the states alone SOLO and more than your fave WW lmao where did you pluck these numbers from?
I’m not doing your research for you. The Hive just LOVES adding destiny child’s sales to her total number. Beyoncé hasn’t sold 75 mill. You can’t add 60 mill from what she sold in a GROUP you bum b******
But why are you making up random receipts though lmao. With or without DC Beyonce has sold more albums than Rihject.
No the gag is that Woman to Woman by keisha coleslaw will sell more in its first week than FREEHANNA…LMAO
Lmao!
Beyonce: 31.5 million albums
Ww
118million singles WW
5albums
5 #1 singles that place her 3rd as female with most weeks at #1 = 36 weeks
20 grammys
Female artists that owned the 2000s
Frihanna: 29 million albums WW
162 million singles
8 albums
13 #1 singles that place her 2nd as female with most weeks at #1 = 56 weeks
8 grammys
Wheres her DECADE????
Beyonce has accomplished alot with less albums than your fav. So i suggest you sit the fuxk down!
You forgot the Tours.
Oop! Can’t forget the tours.
Beyonce: best selling tour $229 million
Rihanna: best selling tour $141 million
Thanks for the reminder @Naomi
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaz the QUEEN OF DRAGS is back
Kii where are all the cultural appropriation theorists at?
The same place as Naomi Campbell’s edges under that wig, gone.
Lmao you need to do some research boo. Dangerously in Love alone has sold 10 million copies WW, more than any Rihanna album. Please sit down.
And Beyoncé has 4 multiplat albums ,
Sit on this 6 inch, CLIIIITTTT
waits for this post to get 400+ comments.
ANALise finna Die.
YES @RihNavy for her sophomore return inn here.
WE LOVE YOU RIHNAVY
grace us one more time
SECOND COMING
How long do ya’ll think it will take Anti-Edges to reach Gold?? I say six months, if the album hype hasn’t completely died by then! lmaoooo
Six months? Make it two years.
Kiii 6 months seems . I give it 14 months for platinum lol!
The same amount of time it’ll take you to get up off the ground after I body slam you, BOOM and break the remaining bones you have left
color blocking. spices. poluting the air with sewega smells. marrying dogs and worshiping 6 legs and 4 legs creatures is all they good at in this country

I just noticed this song is #46, Princess of China peaked at #20 and #4 in the UK, even when platinum in the UK.
‘
Geez if Coldplay wanted a hit Giselle was not the one to go to, she hasn’t had a hit in 8 years.
No, but in 8 years she’s had 484758598 lawsuits for plagiarism, a surrogate, her weave trapped in a fan, falling on stage and lip syncing for her life down to the whitehouse 🙂

Beyonce has had a LEAD ROLE in all her movies. Same can’t be said for Thotanna. Y’all ride that flop ass movie battleshiiits hard when her biggest line in the movie was contrived of 10 words KIIII!!! She was basically a cameo appearance. Also Parkwood says hello, her fragrance line says hello, she samshed ringtone sales and had a phone designed for her by her. She also has a skyscraper being built by an architecture based off her body shape in Australia! Lnao try again bitxh!!!!
@HailBeysus, GIRL BYEEEE! And she’s STILL a Try-Hard. Rihanna does this ish with EASE and had EIGHT commercials advertising a phone, meanwhile you’re bragging about your fave having one designed after her, kiiii ?
—
FACT: NO ONE wear house of Dereon anymore.
FACT: People wear River Island.
—
FACT: Rihanna is the face of DIOR.
Fact: Beyoncé is the face of promoting domestic violence aka “eat the cake Anna Mae”.

The list goes on and on and on
Lmao reading is fundamental sis! She helped design the phone and i said a SKYSCRAPER is being built in the shape of her body! LMAO You’re trying way to hard doing too muc.
Hoeanna is the try hard. With the T*** Rebellion act gimmick. We all know she only went that route to desperately revamp her brand after she neet Fistopher for the first time KIII! What’s her brand gunna be now since she’s getting WAY TO OLD TO BE ACTING THAT WAY STILL. Lmao like i said try again bitxh!
Beyonce will sell 95,000 in ten minutes with her next album. lmaooo
But will she sell 3.4 million in the first week?
LMAO b**** you sound so mad and stupid. Adele is only expected to pull those numbers. Bey will slay regardless. Why are you so mad? Must be a bitter ass rihanna fan hiding. smmfh Hopefully Adele will be pulling beyonce’s numbers twenty years into her career! I doubt it tho.
Is every single TGJ post going to resort to a Stan War now?
It’s like this the past week especially.
Like, damn… Don’t ya’ll have loves to attend too; work, school etc.

@Truthness…you’re clearly new here
??in India what # on Billboard ? Work debuted at #9 with like half a day sales ????????
So is that the real RihNavy or just someone being funny? Anyway, congrats. I love this damn song. I don’t care too much for Coldplay, but whenever they do features, they always get it rite.

Befraudce aint ish and again only a shix stain cares abour about 1 week the first week
Thriller wasnt no1 album and no one freaking cared we cared and still care about the music
Its time to grow up and get back on track and leave all this knowles crap where it belongs
No one cares about a first week
They have brought so much bs to the public
Like anti education
Who needs a degree
Total crap
Disrespctig. Greats
Eat the cake
She can do more than Martin
F this fool
I need elusive lamb to come back and seek vengeance on those that betrayed her
Wtf Work is #9 on the US charts with no promo, spotify or video yet you kiss her ass.Nobody is checking for this not even the fleas.They’re to focused on Anti fear.
Exactly hymn ain’t doing ish
Meanwhile work work work
Lmao look at the Navy shaking in their boots and eating their own words!!! Go shower cause we still seeing egg on those faces ???? Beyonce season is coming!!
The delusion. She will not be scanning diamond even with streaming being added.
Yawwwn the Legendary Queen could careless! Countless legends before didn’t need a Diamond album to cement their status. Now Begone! because i don’t have anymore time to give, to a basic 1st world lesser bitxh that has to look up basic vocabulary lmfao!!!!!
According to your logic, Rihanna has nothing to prove, then. She’s already a legend.

Another flop collabo to add to Beybøla’s collection of flopped collaborations.
