I am really curious as to whether keeping albums off of spotify actually helps sales at all or if it is wasted effort.
Shame that there is no way to really tell.

I'm so on the fence about the Daft Punk comeback. On the one hand Homework obviously slays lives and more funk is never bad. But on the other hand I'm worried that they're abandoning everything they did with Human After All and are retreating to safe radio-friendly music to flog albums and ride a wave of nostalgia from here to kingdom come. Human After All is a flawed record for sure but if they'd taken time off to work on and expand that sound they could have delivered something incredible. There's some incredibly promising stuff on there.

It's a good song but there isn't a single thing that says it's daft punk
And as I type this up it went in to that little breakdown that is very much them
Prefer their stuff on the Alive 2007 live album
edit: that song created a topic with 1500 replies? It's not that special
This song is all wrong.
THIS is Daft Punk at their Funk best.
I mean, it just doesn't get smoother than this.

She also did the Revel Shows. But this was just a 3 day show. I don't have DC tour receipts, tho.
She also performed for Lybian terrorists. Made a lot of money during those shows.
BTW, I don't know where they pay their taxes. Bey is from Houston, and Jay from New York.

I hadn't realised that they had done funk before in their past
Need to familiarize myself with their discography more
Let me go youtube some sets
I love this song. So chill.

I am just going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they pay no state income tax.
So far I have finished all music/tours for Bey/DC/Jay Z and the total is currently sitting around 175,179,276 in profits. It is on the high end of possibilities, but it probably equals out since we don't have receipts for one off shows/ performances or some of the tour videos.
Now it gets tricky because I have to do estimates of the value of Jay-Z's stake in Roc Nation, as well as Bey's various sponsorship deals.

Yeah, but I am sticking to just how much raw money they have made.
They will have made additional money from investments, but they will also have spent significant amounts of money as well. I am also sure they also have been heavily involved in charities.
Some things we can only guess at.

Sounds reasonable when it comes to music only.
Bey and Jay are very successful entrepreneurs, though. One of the best out there. I expect the majority of their profits to have been generatated outside of the music industry.
But that's very hard to track, because they make money out of many things.
Wafflecakes

Yeah. Most of it is guesswork/estimation since there is little hard data. It will almost certain end up being in the 500-600 million dollar range at the end of the day.
Still far short of a billion though.
Edit: ...and you also have to take into account that Jay-Z invested a great deal if his own money from his music haul into creating the two labels he has been involved in.

Ummm sure. It won't all make sense.... I have a strange math process. The LAST number listed is the total profits for each section. I wrote in the totals for albums/singles just now and rounded them off.
Bey Tours:
Dangerously in Love Tour - 1633500
Verizon Ladies First Tour - 1197900
The Beyoncé Experience - 16335000
I Am… Tour – 21780000
Tour Totals: 40946400
DC Tours:
Destiny's Child World Tour 2400685
Destiny Fulfilled... and Lovin' It 4240566
Tours Total: 6641251
Jay Z Tours:
I am just going to be generous and give him 20 million. His tours were too small, and always had co headliners, so I doubt it would be higher.
Tours Totals:
67587651

The media has caught wind of Beyonce's nipple outfit for her tour show, and are now coming for her.
....but I thought Bey was all about vocal/performances and was above tacky attention whoring gimmicks?

A best selling album with mediocre music. Isn't "I am... Sasha Fierce" that album tho?
goodbye, most people agree that I Am... Disposable is her worst album.
Um bye, don't try coming for me. You know I heaped praise upon 4. And yes I Am.. is shit mostly. Although I thought more people came for 4 than I Am..
A 'best selling album with mediocre music' describes 99.999999999% of the albums that exist currently... Stop trying it with Rih.

So did I. And even if that isn't the case, at least "I Am..." got plenty of play back then. 4 just came and went in almost the blink of an eye.
Its not my fault everyone its trying to be mediocre like Rih and her #impact to be relevant.

I assume P!nk and JGMAR are #1 this week?
Glad she managed it before PSY goes #1 next week.

Eh, I don't see this one having quite the legs of GS.
Despite all the hype for the song right now the song isn't even in the itunes top 10. GS was #1-3 for two months almost.

Gentleman only had like 1-2 days of streaming on the chart being put up this week, and news of its release took a couple days to really circulate around the US so I am guessing a disproportionate number of the early views came from Korea.
Don't worry though. It will be #1 next week.

Oh im not talking about the hot 100 chart, just the most views in 24 hours on youtube.
Kony thing is probably false though as it took 7 days to reach 70 million
