Beyoncé No Longer Obsessed with Music Charts


Back in March Beyoncé released her genre bending album 'The Renaissance Act II: Cowboy Carter," featuring several up and coming country music artists [click here if you missed that]. 

Despite Cowboy Carter reaching No.1 Beyoncé says she is no longer obsessed with the charts... 

'Cowboy Carter' has not only been a historic effort for the singer, but it has put a spotlight on rising Black acts in the country genre. 
As Bey puts it:
“When you are breaking down barriers, not everyone is ready and open for a shift. But when I see Shaboozey tearing the charts up and all the beautiful female country singers flying to new heights, inspiring the world, that is exactly what motivates me,” Beyoncé tells The Hollywood Reporter in a statement.
“There was a time in my life when charts and sales excited and motivated me. Once you have challenged yourself and poured every ounce of your life, your pain, your growth and your dreams into your art, it’s impossible to go backward,” Beyoncé says. “I’m very grateful and humbled for the extraordinary success of the new album.”

I believe her somewhat. She's older now. At 42 you shouldnt be the exact same person you were at 22. Good for her

Running? Wasnt Jay just at Tom Brady's party?

She has nothing to prove. B' is free to make whatever music she wants without the concerns of record executives and sales. She has her set falling.

Those charts are shady anyway. Just do your craft and carry on.

Success? Cowboy Carter failed.

She expressed this before after becoming a mother.

If it doesn't matter, why are you and your husband crying about not winning AOTY? She's only saying this because her sales are in the garbage.

Cowboy Carter failed??????

It debuted at #1 and stayed there for two weeks with zero music videos or live performances to promote it....

What other artist over 40 has ever done that???

*crickets*

Oh ok.

How many albums of Cowboy Carter did she sell? Did she even go Plantinum.... no. She didn't. My toddler could bang on a pot and go number 1. She didn't even sell 1 million of CC. All hype.... no results. It's been this way her whole fraud career.

See how they cant answer the question? Deflecting is all they know lmaooooooo

It's definitely going platinum before August. Thats inevitable and like 439 said thats with ZERO promotion.

If I wanted to be petty i could name a certain songstress who dropped two albums in her 40s that still havent gone platinum after YEARS of promo.

But I'll just hush...

An Superbowl commercial with Verizon. As 7:05 stated it was anticipated. No shade though

Anonymous said...

Well it was anticipated until we found out it was country. The commercial didn't say that part

Does that matter though? It's still Beyonce and she was coming off a tour that had many thinking it was the last. It was promo none the less. Again, no shade. TBF Lemonade had no promo dropped out the sky and it reigned, of course it was detailing rumors, but it proved she can break the internet. She is Beyonce.
