She's married with kids. Alotta factors tie into that
Why would that matter if the music is "radio compatible"?
It's obvious, she has a completely different approach to her career than she had when she was just trying to be a big pop star.
She is in the business of making classic music now, performing as a black panther at the SB now. Drunk in Love from her last album was 2 minutes longer than an average radio song, yet dominated charts. And this latest album had 2-3 top 10 singles.
Her album was released 6 months ago and it's still selling top 5, we are talking about non-streaming sales. She had the by far biggest tour and she probably moved most units without streaming.
People are asking "Why can't" instead of "Why won't". I think she'd rather get 5 mics and move big numbers than competing with the garbage on radio she used to compete with.

Her music is hella annoying...
Only Beyonce song I really fukk with is We Like To Party
Beyonce really just makes feminist married thot music...
It sounds forced as hell. I really don't get how she has so many female fans.

All 12 of Beyonce's 'Lemonade' Tracks Debut on Hot 100
that's cool and all, and i pretty much said that in my OP that bey's music SELLS. but this article doesn't do anything to answer my question about radio/popular play
All I hear on the radio is Sorry and One Dance...
Come on now, turn on to any Hip Hop/RnB station it is dominated by Drake and Beyonce.

[/QUOTE]Breh, you said she doesn't dominate the singles chart; her whole album was on the hot 100, that article proved it. No one cares about album sales in an era of streaming, just like no one listens to the radio.

To be fair she hasn't really been attempting what you described. It would be a problem if she wasn't selling well overall
Who cares what her singles are doing when her project is selling
If she had #1 hit single after single but no sales y'all would clown

you get that those songs charted because they were purchased
so clearly she cares about SALES

clearly i care which is why i made the thread...an artist that popular who makes music that is radio friendly (not slow ballads like an adele), it puzzles me as to why she doesn't dominate like she did in the bday era
Couldn't tell you the names of the songs.which songs
and "an artist of her caliber"?
beyonce aint making music to not be played to the masses, shyt her songs are very much that, but they don't pick up steam. if we're talking just "pop stardom" i'd consider rih on the same tier as bey, and she's been able to maintain a heavy radio presence since she came out in 05 while doing decent album sales as well (plat)...she never sold as many albums as beyonce, but real shyt, a lot of their songs are interchangable now, I could see either of them releasing the those tracks, so i'm not going to act like bey's music is some special avant garde shyt that doesn't play to the rules of radio
I know they're off Lemonade though.
I heard two of her songs back to back on the radio two separate times within one hour today
Exactly. Same over here. That fukking Becky with the good hair song comes on every 15 minutes along with that wannabe reggae song. OP didn't think this one thru
