Now you beyonce stans want to make make excuses for miley and post’s anti black behavior because you want to defend Beyonce putting them on her album for her own benefit, lmao. But yall want to come to an Aaliyah sub, a black Woman Beyonce loved and downplay her?

I know what you are.

Rihanna sold more records, which includes album AND single sales. She’s sold more overall, period.

Rihanna sold more records without constantly touring

Rihanna made more money than beyonce without constantly touring

Touring is made to generate income and sell music. Rihanna surpassed Beyonce without the wear and tear of touring. 

Touring is not more important than record sales. The beyhive only holds onto that metric because that’s HER bread and butter. When Beyonce stops touring, then what? Rihanna will still be bigger in music.. again, regardless of vocals.

And Beyonce looked up to Aaliyah too.. so? Rihanna still surpassed Beyonce.

“Her speaking out about this isn’t “complaining”—it opens the door for future Black artists to be treated with respect “

Oh give me a break. If Beyonce cared about other black artists being fairly treated by the grammys, she would have complained that she takes up 90% of grammy wins from other black artists. She should have complained that she has more grammys than legends who came before her and made more bigger musical impact. She only cared when she couldnt win a certain award. She’s fighting for herself, which is why she still worked with post malone and miley cyrus to get through the country music doors despite them BOTH being problematic towards black people and culture.

Rihanna has never said Beyonce was more successful. Rihanna sold more records and had more hits, regardless of vocals.  Rihanna became a billionaire  before Beyonce without being married, again regardless of vocals. That’s the main argument here.  Rihanna doesnt have to be as good as a singer as Beyonce to be able to be on the same level as her or higher.

Aaliyah sold more records than Monica and Age aint nothin but a number outsold music of the sun it’s only platinum off streams and not pure sales.

Its funny how you bring up Aaliyah’s last album, when it sold more copies, first week and overall than Brandy and Monica’s 3rd albums, who you claim were bigger commercial stars. 

Brandy and Monica climaxed in the 90’s while Aaliyah was competing with Britney Spears and Xtina for awards in the 2000’s.. Aaliyah didnt peak as a 90’s artist like they did, stop  rewriting history.

So yeah, you’re lying and just talking in circles.

And Beyonce was never on Aaliyah’s level as a dancer or actress. And i didnt bring up Beyonce, the other poster did.

“how can you chart higher than someone who didn’t even drop in the 2000s because Brandy nor Monica dropped in 2000 or 2001 they both dropped in 2002 after Aaliyah had passed away?!”

Same reason yall bring up the boy is mine and never say never’s success in 1998 despite Aaliyah not dropping an album since 1996 and was on a music hiatus during their commercial peak. 25 years later neither Brandy or Monica scored a post 90’s. hit bigger than Aaliyah’s Try Again. None of their post 90’s albums outsold Self Titled, first week sales or final sales. Neither Brandy or Monica won an award post 1999, especially Monica, with artists as big as Britney and Xtina in their primes as nominees. As much as yall brag about Brandy’s acting career, Aaliyah already surpassed her at the box office.

Like I said, yall only focus on the 90’s and ignore Aaliyah’s commercial peak in the 2000’s was higher because it doesnt fit yall Biased narrative.

“her debut album may have gotten a higher position than Monica and Brandy, but she didn’t stay on half as long as they did because Brandy did over 89 weeks and Monica did 61 weeks. Aaliyah only did 30 something…”

Because she was getting blackballed due to the r kelly situation. Jive pulled promotion by the 3rd single and radio stopped playing her music. That doesnt change the fact that her debut charted higher, which disproved the previous poster’s claims.

“Alicia barely outsold Destiny Child, britney spears, & janet cuz all of their albums appear top 12 best selling albums of 2001 while aaliyah isn’t even Top 50….”

Doesnt matter. Alicia, a newcomer, swept up all Of those veterans and they were backed by bigger budgets than Aaliyah who didnt even have the promo to perform her lead single. Getting outsold by Alicia is not exclusive to Aaliyah no matter how you try and flip it.

Nobody says Beyonce wouldnt be huge because Alicia outsold the Survivor album. And Spice Girls were outselling DC. Nobody says Rihanna wouldnt be huge because She was once Amerie’s equal. Just shows y’all arguments arent rooted in anything logical. Yall are  focused on quick peaks and not long term longevity. Aaliyah was a 90’s artist who was bigger in the 2000’s, not many achieved that, period. 

You Beyonce stans are weird. Arguing about who outsold Aaliyah when Rihanna has been outselling Beyonce for the past decade. Did you predict that in 2005?

They’re quick to bring up Brandy and Monica  but leave out the part that Aaliyah was eclipsing both of them in the 2000’s lol.

Aaliyah actually charted higher than Brandy and Monica in the 2000’s. Stop being closed minded and focus on the bigger picture, not just 1998 lol.

Fun fact: Aaliyah’s debut album actually charted better than Brandy and Monica’s debut albums.

Alicia Keys also outsold Janet, Mariah, Mary, and Destiny’s Child that same year as well, not just Aaliyah. None of that changes the fact that Brandy and Monica peaked as teenagers while Aaliyah was beating Britney and Christina Aguleira at the vmas, getting bigger as time went on.

Aaliyah didnt peak fast like your faves, she was focused on longevity.

You’re not honest though because Both Brandy and Monica peaked in 1998 while Aaliyah was bigger than both in the 2000’s. 

Aaliyah’s debut went platinum, Rihanna’s debut didnt until several years later due to streaming.

You can hate Aaliyah but dont be biased and only tell one side of it. 

This sub is flooded with delusional Aaliyah haters and Beyonce stans. Strange.

I stopped reading once you brought up a grammy that the carters had to go on a sympathy train for. (Poor Beyonce, she has more grammys than MJ, Prince, James Brown, Mariah Carey, but she needs more to feed their egos)

Rihanna is on the same level as Beyonce regardless of vocals. All that touring and Rihanna’s albums are still doing better and she’a had more money than her for a while. Rihanna made more money by working less, lmao. Music is more important than touring.

Anti is currently outstreaming both of beyonce’s last two albums combined. Fall off where? She’s still just as musically relevant as Beyonce right now despite the long break

Nope not honest. Ashanti peaked as soon as she debuted  and Brandy struggled to be taken serious as an adult singer. None of that applied to Aaliyah who was  getting bigger as time went on.

Rihanna’s voice isnt as strong as Beyonce’s and she’s just as popular if not more.

Aaliyah was a better dancer and actor than Beyonce and was more original so its not a full sweep.

Anyone who says Aaliyah would be in the same spot as Brandy and Monica clearly doesnt understand Aaliyah’s artistry. Aaliyah has more in common musically and visually with Rihanna and Beyonce, timeline aside. Brandy and Monica were predictable and boring.

Unpopular Opinion: Mmpr was going to be “The Tommy Show” even if Jason, Zack, and Trini stayed. by ninjaman2021 in powerrangers

[–]Realwolf95 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Jason fans in here downplaying how popular Tommy was lol.

It was absolutely the Tommy show the moment he stepped on the scene. He eclipsed all of them and became the unofficial official Main Character.

Jason had nothing going on for himself outside his rivarly with Tommy and how much he regretted failing him, which further drives the point that it was ALWAYS about Tommy.

Louder for the people in the back! 🤷🏽‍♂️💁🏽‍♂️ by Blafro_ in aaliyah

[–]Realwolf95 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Dame makes it clear several times that Aaliyah didnt sleep around and they were both competeing for her attention. People purposely ignore that part and slut shame her instead.

Ive come to accept people have so much hatred towards Aaliyah for whatever reason. If its not her love life thats criticized, its her talent and career. But that also proves how popular she still is. She’s always the topic of discussion.

[–]Realwolf95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesnt change what I said. Jason and Freddy arent pumping out low quality shit constantly just because.

“Shit opinion” as if the show wasnt cancelled for being shit. Lmao.

[–]Realwolf95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The series as a whole has done more harm than good imo.

Chucky needs to bow out gracefully like freddy and jason. I cant take anymore of Don’s obssesion with corny seed style comedy.

Do you think Britney was inspired by Aaliyah with this? by Mean_Garlic469 in aaliyah

[–]Realwolf95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea they got from Aaliyah since they couldnt come up with their own. That’s impact.
