Well her last album sold 10 million. This one will sell UNDER 4 million. So the point would be pretty clear. 

Beyonce went incognito and she became mysterious and the biggest presence in music today. Taylor did the same and no one cared lol.

Reputation outsold Lemmonade in a half a year though   Beyonce is realy overrated as album seller.

Call me when ANY Taylor album sells as much as The Fame. Or better yet, call me when Reputation sells as much as Born This Way. 

But Taylor has 2 Diamond albums and Gaga has........ none   Don't drag other artists for no reason.

why would anyone buy an album though? literally what is the point? i'm surprised total album sales are still as high as they are lol

Worldwide? No it did not. 

They started incorporating streaming worldwide on mediatraffic on January 1st, 2017. That means Lemonade's 3.6 million is pure sales, while Reputation's 3.3 million is UNITS (sales + streaming).

In pure sales it looks like this:

Reputation 2.1 million WW

Lemonade 3.6 million WW 

 

Beyonce's is NOT an overrated albumseller. Name me other females that can sell well over 3 million without streaming except for Adele? Taylor obviously couldn't LOL.

  A single person need to stream a song for approx. 1,000+ times before it can make as much as the price for one LP ($10-$13)

That is very unfair especially to indie and not so popular musicians tbh

Taylor has NEVER sold 10 million copies of one album in the US. What the hell are you talking about?

1989 sold 10 million, but it did so WORLDWIDE. Her highest sales in the US are at 7 million. Again, where do you do your research???

we been knew  but sadly, not everybody can be streaming legends

however they still have websites like bandcamp that can help distribute digital copies of their work and streaming can give them any extra pennies
