.
?☕?☕?☕?☕?☕?☕
You confused dog! Drake is staying her.
So basically no one know frih.
that’s not of any importance!
Girl samsung must be paying for her radio play and streams ?????
Beyonce? On top? Where? Better check again durling.
Clearly these fake ass pressed Drake Stans can’t READ!!! I said she was in the TOP TEN OF ALMOST EVERY STATE!!! Lol!
Get a f****** life who cares anymore channel that energy you fighting for Beyonce on something more important because she do not gives two f**** and bloodclaat about your ass everything is a competition to you no wonder why your head stay bald it must be nerve racking all day worrying about who Beyonce is beating in the world f****** looking chicken head
Instead of being soooo angry, just shoot yourself in the temple and end your misery you fawkin K***.?????
Did the people you stain for care about you we bey fans know who bey is that is why we love her for life dont tell us sheet haters
But Rihanna is at the top of Yonce the Billboard charts
Hopefully she’ll thank Samsung for buying her streams.
The songs are still selling more weekly than Sorry according to iTunes so if ppl are buying it why wouldn’t they stream it kii you’re delusional seek help
Lol hunTEA, Nobody is buying her album in the states or WW. Anti Tour is a flop. She yet again played to another DEAD ASS STADIUM ????!!! So yea something gives. Her single is selling 30k a week. That’s nowhere near enough to hold her in the top 10. So yea her Tickets and Album sales are a flop yet her singles are doing fine. Samsung coming through with the PAYOLA!!!!
She pay for it is not real we all know how she get their Keri hater you hate bey so much it get youno were but down sick hatemonger
Yeah only missing from 12
That poor and lowly Beyonce fan commented before reading what they were supposed to comment about. Oh no! A new day has come. Drake is the new winner and the Knee Highs will just have to deal.
Bitxh stfu and stop. When drake can sell a 10+ million album, gross $100m tour, top Forbes, be named by TIME as THE MOST INFLUENTIAL CELEBRITY or win 5 or more grammys in a night than maybe your Queens stan base can take part in these stan wars. BTW your dragging yourself. I read it and my comment clearly displayed that LOL!!
And FriHanna? I pity the flop.
Funny how Eminem didn’t put any music by his name in 3 yrs yet he managed to be on 80% of these lists
Let me add in more. The Australians like her too (She broke attendance record there, and Lemonade is still in the top ten), the South Koreans, the Brazilian as well as the people from the UK. That’s not all, she’s always do well in Ireland. I’m pretty sure, the Philippine and the Indonesian like her too. BEYONCÉ=GLOBAL SUPERSTAR.
Japan Sales: Bday 400,000, IASF :250,000. That do not include Destiny’s Fulfilled 600,000 and #1s 500,000 (based on certification) and Survivor 200,000. Japan Only sales! Your favorite still have to s**** themselves in the studio producing 500 number hits and stay in the top ten for another 1000 weeks, only to sell 1/5 of the Queen sales! I ain’t sorry!
SCREAMING…I REMEMBER THE MRS CARTER TOUR ALSO BREAKING RECORDS IN AUSTRALIA TOO..
She also broke the attendance for a tour in Brazil with TMCWT for having 378k attendees in one year.
@suprise I always check the Australian Album Chart, starting this year lol. And I notice that Anti is out of the album chart in just few months, with the smash, “Work”. While Lemonade is still in the top ten as of this week. That’s not all, 6 Weeks number one in Belgium and 5 Weeks in Ireland (if I’m not wrong). And I don’t get how is she local. She has two million selling album in the UK( even Janet doesn’t have one). And another two with DC, Beyoncé literally destroy all her competition in the album department. Her DC sales in Japan was so impressive!
No shade but I throught Rihanna would be on more. And it’s good to see Weezy name on two of the lists.
I can see that but then I read that this was a lost compiled by “Pandora”. A “Spotify” list would have been more telling.
.
I’m quite surprised that Katy Perry or Selena Gomez or Fifth Harmony have failed to make the list at all yet Eminem has.
Selena Gomez is a flop so I see why she didn’t make it. But I am surprised not to see Katys name anywhere, I guess this list was surveyed by adults.
1) When has “Pandora” ever been relevant? It’s streaming credentials have plummeted since “Spotify” overtook it in 2013.
.
2) If this were a “Spotify” list, the results would have been vastly different for obvious reasons.
.
3) Why have they only included 6 states ultimately – mostly southern and Midwestern ones? I would have liked to have known the popularity of these artists in states such as NY; Florida; Illinois; New Jersey; Pennsylvania etc.
.
Congrats to those who made this “list” however – I am quite surprised at Kevin Gates’ inclusion.
Pandora is the second biggest Online Radio. It has 79.4m active users. They updated their stats on 4/28/16. IHeartRadio is currently #1 with 85m users.
Yes………..@hailbeysus provides those receipts.
?☕?☕?☕?☕
There’s a ‘click more’ link, hun.
Atlanta/Bankhead/Collipark
Keri Hilson
????????????
Wheres Waynes name? Dont be mad at me because Drake has replaced your lean sipping fave.
Scroll your dumb ass back up and you’ll see his name.
Americans taste in music is embarrassing.
Just because there is not enough lynching as much as u are used to in america music does not make it embarrassing!!!!!
Yet your artists keep mimicking ours..
S****** is not lying.
There’s no excuse why Global Superstar can’t make this list. Beyoncé, Adele and Taylor is up there. Along with Eminem. A really powerful artist should have the power to do everything (singles, albums, tours, FORBES, TIMES, Streams, or even basic list like this). Before you argue with me about Beyoncé singles, her last updated sale is around 40++ million. I love Rihanna, but the Navy keep coming for Bey like she’s the Queen of Everything.. Notice when Taylor, Bey and Adele release an album, they will be dominating sales, awards and Forbes list? Tour etc. While The Black Madonna is only singles, singles and singles.
LMAO..THE EXCUSES THE NAZI WILL BRING UP WILL INTERESTING!!!!
Gurrrl Im laughing at the excuses ready kiii!!!
Laughing at people expecting Selena Gomez on here. She’s an expensive flop, meaning that a lot of money is being spent on her but she isn’t yielding any results. She’s apparently the most followed artist on ig but good look finding anyone who cares about what she posts in the way some of these teenagers care about Kylie Jenner.
Rihanna is missing from most of these lists?
LOL………SHE IS ALSO MISSING ON THE TALENT LIST TOO
No lies.?
With over 70m Pandora listeners fRih couldn’t attract any of them ?! No wonder those 12k arena’s were Empti! Lets give a round of applause to Samsung for purchasing fRih’s Albums, Certifications and Streams ?! They just forgot about how they were gunna cover up the flop attendance of the Empti Tour! Lmfaooo
Y’all are crazy now let Rihanna would have been number one y’all would be like wow she slaying the lame Pandora charts. Y’all would be trying to talk bad about this woman. I’m pretty sure if Spotify post their info it would be a different story. I understand a lot of people are mad at Rihanna for doing well but that’s just how it’s gonna be. She gonna continue to make money and break records and put out music her fans care about.
I see my girls name… A lot! ?
Drake dominates in every single state, he is pretty much in the top 5 in all 50 states, impressive for Pandora.
LMAO
I had no idea Kevin Gates was that popular
Lol messy post
Gone are the days when Nazi were Janet stans, I see they are now Drake stans
.
This is very funny!
Kiii @ the hive+ celebrating a Pandora popularity list. Meanwhile, on Forbes, Billboard 200 ,the Hot 100 , iTunes singles chart ..Rihanna is charting above Yonce?☕thats true tea
Where is Big Bird on any of those list???? ?
LOL..WHEN UR FAVE IS DEAD AND U HAVE TO CLING ON TO ANOTHER RELEVANT ARTIST FOR SURVIVAL
BITXH!!!! IM DECEASED!!!!
Kevin Gates is super popular in the South. I’m surprised Boosie didnt show on some southern lists. They low key rule the south
Serious question, I don’t get it, how does a Rihanna fan have the audacity to come for someone like Beyonce, really. That’s like a Selena fan coming for Whitney Houston’s vocals.
In all honesty, Rihanna is a beautiful girl “Model with a mic”, but she is nothing more than a singles artist with Chipette vocals.
Lol Canti can continue to chart Higher than Beys album for the next 4 years and still not come close to LemonSLAYEDS sales!!!
.
Lemonade 1.5m 3months —–> Canti 480k 7months ?!
Exactly..Just like drake can have 12 years on billboard 200 and still not outsell 25.
Drake and Rihanna are charting above the divorce album
Sales have slowed for the funeral album she’s done
But where is Keri charting??? UNDER THE DOME OR NOWHERELAND? I CAN’T DECIDE
The pest are now clinging to this irrelevant list.
Chart check:
BillBoard 200
Anti #6
Lemonade #7
BillBoard Hot 100
Needed Me #7
Work #21
Sorry #28
Forbes
Rihanna #13
Beyonce #34
No post the ACTUAL SALES……I’LL WAIT
Lol Rihanna ain’t mad she’s making more than beyondgay. Lol beyondgay stans kill me one second it’s “streams don’t matter” blah blah now that Beyoncé name in a few list and now they getting they life lol. They will try to make Beyoncé look better than Rihanna by anyway possible but it’s null and void when Forbes and billboard say otherwise. The end of the day according to billboard and RIAA anti outsold Lemonlame along with the singles AND making more money according Forbes, so who is winning?
It’ll be interesting to see Béyonce global net worth VS. Rihanna global net worth !
Its a known FACT lemonade has outsold canti in the U.S. and WW. Cling to the streams and purchased plaques because that is literally all that is going for frih.
Beyoncé yearly average gross is $54m. She’ll top Forbes next year and mop the floor with frih BOOKMARK ME!
Wait sorry can’t even pass work? I’m done
@Mark
ClockedT!
• Forbes: Rihanna
• Billboard: Rihanna
• #1 music streaming service aka Spotify: Rihanna
You go queen bey happy for you
I’m ashamed by my state’s list. I don’t know who the heck Kevin Gates is, and Fetty Wap sounds like a bumbling, drunken idiot. They’ll drop off the charts in the next year or so and then someone new will get their 15 minutes. Music today sucks.
I gotta say I’m VERY surprised about Taylor’s presence in all of these States, but yet Katy is absent in most of them. Surprised about Kevin Gates booty eating ass too.
Poor nazi, rihanna is just an all round failure
Beyonce is struggling for top 20 on Billboard 100 as we speak
Selena’s just a struggle
And Revival tumbled 57 spots down Itunes WW charts after her BLM comment. Like fav like stan! ?☕?☕?☕?☕?☕
@Molly how is Beyoncé struggling for a top 20 when she’s already had 4 from this album, along with a top ten all in one week?? I’ll wait!!!
Adele’!!!!!!!!!!!!
That list is a kiii. Literally SCREAMING @ the RoachHive bragging about lists with Kevin Gates and G-Eazy. ?
I’m just waiting for Chart Check. The dragging of Beybøla will be brutal and I got my receipts all filed up anf ready to unleash on the no-life-having-āss-høe-hive.
No life, but you’re out here going through the archives gathering receipts for a post that the Slavi will be dragged in yet again LMAO!!!
Kiii poor Slavi dragged for filth yet again! LMAO!!!
“Musicians” lol
Nobody is talking about how TGJ dropped Justine Skye’s name in there for a little promo on the girl? Lol. I at least googled her…
Nice
Recently Paul Lamere of the Echo Nest , a “music intelligence platform” company that claims to “automatically know everything about music,” developed a map that displays each state’s uniquely favorite artist. Lamere used Spotify to find his data, compiling information from the popular music-streaming service and comparing musicians’ overall popularity in America with those same musicians’ popularity in each individual state. In this way, he was able to suss out what artists are disproportionately represented in the states and thereby produce unique “favorites artists” for each.
Kevin Gates is one of my top 5 favorites but I’m surprised he’s number one in so many states.
My dude is doing it big
