@Aaronsmithjune1: Streaming results alone do not determine whether a song is a hit or not .

Now that Gaga is officially back, i'm looking forward to new music from Beyoncé, Rihanna and Adele.

And of course the possible album of the year, Dua Lipa.

I'm rooting for Mariah to come out with MC16.

But it helps to figure out what's Forgotten/Remembered

Some people say Beyoncé isn't really "beautiful" but IMO she's always been a beautiful stunning woman with a very goddess-like and statuesque body and physical appearance. She really is inside and looks outside like a true musical exotic goddess.

@Aaronsmithjune1: Streaming results alone do not determine whether a song is a hit or not .

It definitely gives you an idea .. And we can't deny that. When we see an old song from from 20, 30 or even 40 years ago with 300milliom or 500million or even 1 billion streams it's a great sign that indicates people are coming back to the song and playing it until today, the song remains remembered over time. On the contrary when we see an old hit song with very low streams it's quite a bad sign that indicates the song is stuck in that time and doesn't have as much traffic anymore.

If it'll be as good as Caution, i'm in

[theMathematician]

MrLeonix : I personally don't mind certain songs being hits of their time and not being omnipresent even years or decades after their release. For example some of the Guetta/Harris songs in the early 10s: They made sense at the time of their release, but I don't mind people having moved on from there. In contrast, some songs you once used to like can end up pretty nerve-wrecking due to excessive rotation (e.g. In Germany, 'Atemlos' by Helene Fischer was inescapable for a whole year as that song ended up becoming the soundtrack for every yet to random event in Germany- it was a horror.').


The funny thing is the following:
Streaming pops up: 'Now the charts will be more diverse and fast-paced because the people have access to a broader share of music beyond the mainstream range.'
Streaming impacts: 'The people listen to the same handful of songs on and on, which hang on the charts for ages. Everything beyond the even smaller mainstream range, dedicated to a small part of the demographic, struggles to reach a decent peak.'

There is no possible there. Future Legend WILL BE the album of the year.

So these songs can slay spotify but songs that's supposed to be iconic can have less than 10 million and still be considered iconic/Remembered?

[theMathematician]

Again, don't spend too much time trying to argue whether a song is iconic or not based on streaming results! It saves you not only nerves but precious time. That's one of the reasons why I've heavily decreased the usage of words like 'flop' in the chart analysis section and instead stick with objective numbers, stats and facts. I can live without the drama and 10 people could deny an album being iconic or a flop, a fact (e.g. biggest drop from No. 1 etc.) is independent from points of view. So you can always tell whether you like a song or not, but I'd suggest you not to try to objectify a subjective rating - in a public forum, 10 people will always have 10 different opinions on that.

[Goldmoney]

I’m Too Sexy has paltry YT views and I don’t think its streams are that much better, but everybody knows that song.

[Goldmoney]

There is no possible there. Future Legend WILL BE the album of the year.

I’d rather you had given those ten spins to GOAT. And you ain’t done nothing without some receipts boo.

[Aaronsmithjune1]

WBT could be released today and still smash. It hasn't aged a bit. Same with Fantasy remix & Hero.



BeeBoy she booked 2 nights at Emirates Old Trafford for Manchester.

London stadium 2×
Emirates Old Trafford 2×
Stadium of light 2×
Stade de France

[BeeBoy]

I won't get my hopes up gerl. They better have something up their sleeve if they want to sell out stadiums in 3 months though, in places where she frequently tours since 2013 and no B7 in sight. She can probably sell out one night off her name alone but they need something to sell the second nights.

Apparently B7 is coming thus summer to. But I also kinda think a 2021 tour would be much better. As you said she's been draining these places since 2013. Maybe something like this

September (South America)2020
November (Oceania & Africa)2020
March (Asia) 2021
April (North America) 2021
June (Europe) 2021
