Music Minute!

The cover Beyonce's 'Dangerously in Love' album.
Did you know that Beyonce’s ‘Dangerously in Love’ was only the 30th best-selling album in the US during the last 10 years?
Currently listed as Beyonce’s best-selling album, ‘Dangerously in Love’ has sold 4.83 million copies in the US since 2003. However, the record was far from being ranked among the top-sellers of the last 10 years (March 10th 2002 to March 11th 2012) as it only placed at #30 on the list.
Among the albums that outsold ‘Dangerously in Love’ are Usher’s ‘Confessions’ (#3 with 9.97 million), Adele ’21′ (#4 with 8.09 million) and Nelly’s ‘Nellyville’ (#11 with 6.49 million). It should be noted, though, that only 2 albums by female R&B artists ranked in the top 30 – Beyonce’s ‘Dangerously in Love’ and Mariah Carey’s ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’. The latter LP placed at #15 with 5.96 million copies sold.
Watch the video for Beyonce’s ‘Baby Boy (Ft. Sean Paul)’, which was her 2nd #1 single from ‘Dangerously in Love’, below:

You just have to bring up Mimi.
LOL
So how is this a music minute, I thought they were supposed to be about historical moments in music. Trent is doing just about anything to stan for Bey and MiMi #SMFH
@antonio did you just call Trent a Beyonce stan?? LOL!!!!!!!!! *dead*
@antonia, since when is music minute based on historical moments? You must be new to the blog
The shade…your next vid must be about Beyonce…becareful, bee’s do sting when they feel threatened. My stinger is willing and waiting!lol
Beyonce is one of the legends whose status isn’t based solely on sales. Kudos to Queen Bey
Those Beyonce maniacs swear she is one of the top selling artists to ever exist. Don’t shatter their dreams like that! Lmao
Beyonce status as “legendary” is MOSTLY based on sales. “Thought I wouldn’t sell without you, sold 9 million”. Oh and this one, “what does someone whose sold 100 million records do?…whatever she feels like doing.” She has always been in the numbers game: “I just wanted our first record to go gold.” She stopped caring about numbers so much which is why “4″ didn’t “serve” the way her previous records did…and good for her. But make no mistake, her “legacy” is more inundated with figures and “firsts” (see her trophy case” more than it is memorable material.
Beyonce did her biggest numbers with Destiny’s child. As a solo star, she has average sales. When she does Confessions or 21 numbers on a solo project I’ll be impressed.
Compare their recent album sales tho, Trent!
Beyonce, a legend….? Maybe in 5-10+ years time (after she has really evolved as an artist, has done much more musically and artistically, and has become a solid influence through some innovative artistry), but certainly not now. None of that can really be said of her now. That, to me is what distinguishes a legend from just being a great singer/ performer. You don’t just throw around the word “legend”. Beyonce does have the potential to be one though, I think. She is very talented and hardworking.
As much as love me some Beyonce she is not a legend! What is wrong with you people?
Beyonce became a legend when she joined Michael Jackson and Tina Turner as the only black artists to have individual tours gross over $100 million. Her status as a legend is justified by sooo many other factors than just sales. (Single Ladies anyone?)

Beyonce isn’t a legend! What has she done that’s inspired a generation? What has she done in her career that’s creative or innovative without it being a blatant copy? Is she even iconic? Talented? Yes! But so are alot people! Her songs are very forgettable!
Hugo just proved the point of this article. DIL was Beyonces best selling album. Steady decline in her sales is clearly shown
Beyonce has to be one the most overrated “artist” of all time. Beyonce is talented and she’s a great performer, but she’s not a legend. Legend are innovators and “game changers” who have influined generations of artists
Beyonce has to be one the most overrated “artist” of all time. Beyonce is talented and she’s a great performer, but she’s not a legend. Legends are innovators and “game changers” who have influenced generations, and generations of artists. Legends = Pac, Biggie, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Aretha Frankin, Janet Jackson, LLCool J, MC Lyte, James Brown, R kelly, Prince, Babyface, Etta James etc…
Beyonce will never be a legend because legends are innovators and originals and game changers, none of which is what Beyondfake is, she’s horrible, her music is mediocre, she’s not the best singer, she’s not the best performer, she’s definitely not the best dancer, and she’s quite far from being a decent actress, theres nothing about her thats special or unique, she gets by by being pretty and doing the bare minimum. If she had to compete with real tripple threats as a solo artist in the 70′s 80′s or 90′s she’d be completely forgotten and ignored
See I gave her a complement….she’s pretty. Oh and she can sing…….thats it.
Nobody with taste likes Beyonce, only hoodrats and over the top feminine gay guys, she has no other demographic because thats all she reaches out too, Shannons right 100%.
YALL JUST JEALOUS, AND MAD THAT MA GURL OUT SHININ YALL FAVES, SHE SOLD MORE RECORDES AND GOT 6 OCTIVE RANGE, EAT IT. I Know you mad, but get over it Trent, Moorigha is a fat old ugly pig who cant sing, my Bey is the best, nobody was ever like her, she can do it all and she slays it all, and I know yall mad cause she’s light skinned and got long beautiful hair, a rich husband a fat bank account and a pretty baby but too bad for you. She’s legendary, no women has done as much as her, she’s a trendsetter and the rest of your bitches follow but fall short. So fall back and eat ma bitches accomplishments, cause the whole world is checkin on her
I think its hilarious that Bey’s not on top of any of those 4 lists provided……….wow……..so “legendary”. Bey will never be. OMG and that psycho Bey stan just proved why she’s not a legend or taken seriously
^^ 6 OCTAVE RANGE?….. NO COMMENT.
She do got 6 octaves, and you just mad cause you and yo fave dont
I hate you all, fuckers, yall just mad cause ma girl is in the now and yall faves are in the past.
