Of course she's going to take all of the advertising spaces. She's B.E.Y.O.N.CE. All you haters need to sit down.
Then again, of course the "popular" music is always what's on the front page. The real gems are the music that are not.. that.
I have nothing against her, or her music, but dominating the big advertising spots is brilliant.
...whereas Beyoncé is so well established to the point that all you need to say is "Beyoncé has a new album available now" and the rest will take care of itself.
There are other albums coming out that could really benefit from those spots
it's Beyoncé and it's hard to find anyone that hates her)
Dropping your entire album + music videos in one go is not very smart.
Can anyone confirm the video resolution of the music videos? Wondering if it's going to play like a VHS tape on my AppleTV.
Yeah, look at how Netflix bombed when they released the entire "House of Cards" series at once and won those Emmy Awards. And then there was "Orange is the New Black." What a disappointment.
I can't imagine why anyone would want to release their entire video collection at once. It's proven to be such a flop for TV, so I'm sure it will fail with music too.

The real gems of music ARE found in the popular music, that's why it's popular. It's why the iPhone is popular too. No one is forcing us to buy this stuff. It's popular for a reason, and marketing is not the main reason (otherwise you could push the same argument about the iPhone).
Clearly something about this "popular" music (which you feel you must put in quotations) resonates with mass consciousness in America at this time; and those so-called gems you're talking about, clearly only resonate with a specific niche of people. If they deserved to be listened by the whole world and gain global attention, they would.
Music becomes popular for a reason, and the people who buy it are not clueless sheep who are just buying music that's marketed towards them, just like we are not clueless iSheep who are buying iPhones simply because of marketing.
There are other albums coming out that could really benefit from those spots (such as Childish Gambino's new album that released a few days ago) whereas Beyoncé is so well established to the point that all you need to say is "Beyoncé has a new album available now" and the rest will take care of itself.
It would make sense to have her take up one of those spots as with all major releases, but to steal away ALL of the largest advertising spaces is nothing but bad business for the rest of everyone.
Me too, this is too much like payola on Apple's part.

Jay-Z must have negotiated this deal.
....haters....
Typical fanboy terminology, over-used on MR. If you show but the slightest doubt or even the beginning of something that could be mistaken for criticism you are a 'hater'. Mostly used when it concerns Apple or Apple products. So now I'm a 'hater'.![]()

Hahaha! I get it! Because women can't accomplish things! And even when a woman is successful beyond measure, totally on her own terms, you have to bring it down and assume a man must be responsible! Hahaha!
(The fact that this post got even the one like is sickening. The MR community is showing its age more and more lately.)
