'Formation' #109, could it have gone #1 if it wasn't on Tidal?

[Guest vivre sa vie]

Beyonce's 'Formation' peaked at number 9 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. Do you think it could have gone at number one on the Hot 100 chart if it wasn't a Tidal exclusive? Is Tidal killing the chart performance of artists? Does it help only Tidal or artists as well (to boost their sales)?

Nope. I do not think it is catchy enough to go #1

[Enhsa 2,043]

nope , not even top 20

[NintendoMONSTER 2,526]

Is Formation going to be released on iTunes or other streaming platforms? I'm still waiting for it... 

[Creyk 17,019]

No the song is simply not good and no one is here for that kind of "empowerment" song

[SamJ 8,008]

No I don't think so I cant imagine it being played on radio its only aimed at a very small group of people not in any way the general public. Beyonce kinda shot herself in the foot with this song it doesn't sound professional Imo and her dancing in the video is really cringy and bad Imo I was expecting it to be a decent song but I couldn't have been more wrong this is just my honest opinion and I'm really surprised and disappointed with this song

But WORK went #1! Who was expecting this?! Is it catchier than Formation?! I dont think so... Formation was also performed on Superbowl and had a controversy around it

lmao if work is catchy enought to go #1 formation could have gone number one too

She should be content if anyone even remembers this song a month from now  

[Serendipity 7,821]

considering if Work went #1, maybe with a Drake feature

[Jesse Pinkman 4,660]

She never put it on sale. Charts and sales are irrelevant anyway. Her tour just grossed $100m, and it hasn't event started yet. That's where the focus should be.

yass this.  just because ur song is in top 10 doesn't mean that people actually care about you.

work is a good song its a good clean cut song which is easy to listen to and thoroughly deserves to be number 1 in my opinion. Its cool
