: Is Beyonce trying to artificially inflate the number of Myspace plays that Solange's album gets. Well that's what appears is happening.
One keen MediaTakeOut.com reader noticed that on Beyonce's official Myspace page, Beyonce has a number of "new" tracks playing in the background. Unfortunately, those tracks are actually Solange tracks just labeled as "Beyonce" tunes.
Why is this important, you ask. Because artists often tout the number of Myspace plays when looking to prove to their labels that their songs are popular with listeners.
Maybe it's just a mistake by the Knowles camp, right ..... RIGHT!!!
I respect the idea of Beyonce looking out for her sister and wanting her to succeed. I won't criticize her for that. Its not a fun thing to be successful and someone in your family not doing as well so you do what you can to bring her up. That being said, when you are trying to lie to your fans to help your sister out, you may end up losing them in the process
YA'LL REALLY MUST NOT HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO TALK ABOUT IF YOU LOOK TO THE LEFT YOU SEE SOLANGE'S ALBUM COVER AND THE NAME OF THE ALBUM...ITS NOT CALLED FRAUD ITS CALLED PROMOTING...YA'LL REALLY NEED TO GET A LIFE BECAUSE I BET THE KNOWLES COULD SMASH WHOEVER WRITES THIS GARBAGE WITH THEIR WALLET!!LMFAO....BEYONCE KEEP SUPPORTING YOUR SISTER...MTO...I CAN BELIEVE THIS IS THE HEADLINE...YOU MUST NOT GET ON MYSPACE ALOT OR YOU WOULD KNOW THAT PEOPLE DO THIS ALL THE TIME....SOLANGE HAS MILLIONS OF PROFILE VIEWS...YA'LL NEED A NEW WRITER...
Because artists often tout the number of Myspace plays when looking to prove to their labels that their songs are popular with listeners.
^^^ OH REALLY??? SOOOO THAT'S WHAT GETS THE BIG DOGS ON THE LABELS TO PROMOTE & FUND ARTISTS' PROJECTS.
GLAD I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY!
LOL!
Just like the trick that sent this "inside info" to ya.. KNEW who actually sung Sandcastle Disco... so do YOU & ALL OF YOUR READERS.
NOW SAY YOU DON'T?
:-D
ROSE NO ONE WANTS YOU DEAR :-D YOUR $5.00 CONTRIBUTION TO RAY RAY N'EM FOR YOUR BOOTLEGGED COPY OF BEYONCE'S CD WILL NOT BE MISSED.
I think it's funny how solange does not want to be referred to as beyonces little sister, but at the same time she is ok with her big sister helping to promote her wack music. Sorry solange but having your big sis infuse one of your tracks on her myspace page is not a good look for a kid sister trying to break off of her sisters shadow. Thanks for the heads up MTO.
Solange does have talent...
she needs to do damage control quickly before her career ends faster then it starts.. her attitude is atrocious
i think the knowles are one of those families that forced there kids to perform and sing an stay slim and look good... wear make up and pretty dresses so they can reap the benefits...
Beyonce is not tricking her fans..we do not need to be tricked into listening to Solange because we know that we like to listen to talent. Solange is a great artist and she basically just stepped out fresh. In addition she is only going to improve as she goes alon in her career so stop the hate in 08'
I would do the same for my brother if I was on top of the music world and considered the Goddess of R&B or the Hottest Chick in the Game. It's not that Solange is riding on the coattails of her sister and brother-in-laws success but she is trying to brand herself but with the help of them and trying not to use their success as a catapult. I just wish that our race would just stick more together in picking each other up instead hating and putting each other down. We do exactly what they want us to do and that is why it is easier for our face to be put in the media negatively cause we are so open with our slave mentality and it makes them smile with their teeth showing.
WTF??? This is the most ignorant post. Umm, if I had a sister, I would put her music on myspace page too. It shows support. It's not a f**king conspiracy,trick, or shady plow to get people to listen to her music. Furthermore, all the people talking about how bad Solange's attitude is need to take a step back for a second. We have no idea what was said before, after, or during the segment that caused her to react the way she did. I do believe that Solange is intelligent and that SOMETHING made her say what she said. The video could have been edited and cut anyway the media wanted it to.Come one MTO. get some real news and stop over exagerating stoopid sh*t.
Beyonce should thank Solange because we (me and everybody I know) were really over her...really not looking forward to anything new from her UNTIL her little sister came out with this sham of a soul career...you kind of NEED a Knowles who isn't a joke...you sort of made an ass out of yourself and it was promotion for your sister - how much better is Beyonce than this uncomfortable sounding nut is the question most were left with.
I am sure some kind of mistake had to have been made. I can't see Beyonce' risking her own career and years of accumulating her own fans for the sake of her sister's rising career. I am also sure that little miss Solange, with all her antics will soon destroy any chance of her having some kind of career. As I have said before, the words you say out of your mouth have an effect - either positive or negative. SO far, she is killing her career with her negative words to and about people. No matter how ugly people talk about you, you have to rise above, forgive and turn it positively around for them and for you.
In all actuality, Solange's new album isn't bad at all. I've listened to it and I like a lot of the songs on her album. God Given Name is an awesome song, and it definitely is her cry to shine on her own. People diss and down talk her because Beyonce is hogging all the lime light. Solange doesn't wanted to be affiliated with Beyonce, she's just herself, Solange, her god given name.
Some people definitely need to stop following other's opinions and form their own. Solange is a really cool and humble woman. I'd rather be her friend than Beyonce's any day. I support Solange 100% and if she comes to my town, I'll go see her.
MTO you really need to get off solange's clit!!!! Do you have a myspace!!! you must not beacause on myspace if you have a music page the name/claim of the songs are automattically what your myspace name is. so if she changed her to name to... idk... mrs.carter the song would be by mrs.carter!!! is she put a song by jay-z on there it would say by Beyonce!!
I'm not a fan of Solange, but there's nothing wrong with Beyonce trying to help her sister out. Solange has a tough road ahead of her because there's no aspect of entertainment she can go into that Beyonce hasn't already done. Beyonce's already conquered the music scene,won a ton of awards, acted in a bunch of movies and done modeling campaigns. Solange would have had an easier time if say Beyonce had never acted, and then maybe she could have broken in that way which is what Jessica Simpson's sister did.
we beyonce fans know her voice so she is not tricking us,she is tricking fool like you mto who don't know the meaning of promotion.by the way there is a solange photo right under so you must be really stupid mto.
we love you beyonce and always willand solange album is dope and beyonce own will alwats be dope.hi haters
THAT PIC OF BEY IS NOT HERTHIS IS A MODEL I SAW HER ON AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL WHAT A SHM THAT THEY CANT FOUND I REAL PIC OF BEY. BEY SONGS ARE GREAT TO BAD SHE FEEL VERY SORRY FOR HER SISTER WHO CANT SING OR DRESS WILL THAT WHY BEY PUT HER SONGS IN MY SPACE TO SEE IF BEY FANS CAN TELL THE DREFFERNT BTWEEN THEN I CAN BIG TIME. HER SISTER SUCKS BIG TIME I BOUGHT HER CD AND RETURN IT FOR RINANNA AT LEST SHE SOUNG WAYYYY BETTER THEN BEY SISTER SHM.
So what? That's not even an official screen shot. The sides are all cut off and sh!t! MTO hates so hard on this family it's unbelievable! I don't even believe sh!t that MTO says anymore. And you can clearly see underneath it the title of the album. Maybe it's because Beyonce's songs were up and they didn't take her name down. There isn't anything wrong with helping promote her sister. I have seen plenty of artists and producers doing that. MTO got the nerve to be talking about haters. MTO will forever be the Knowles family's #1 hater!
Whose surprised by this...the knowles family are ruthless liars, backstabbers, and pretenders. They are sore losers and will stop at nothing to come out on top, even though they are not the best at what they do. However, through their marketing schemes and ploys, they make it appear they are by dominating the market, buying their own cds, and being everywhere. They are the biggest liars and extremely sneaky.
There are no mistakes with them, everything is carefully planned, down to the candids and rumors, and fake candid pics. This is no mistake...their father is too on top of it to make these types of mistakes...this was done purposes to boost solange's numbers.
Bottom line, nobody but a select small few are checkin for solanges 60's garbage music, however, the knowles refuse to accept this as usual. So they try to cram her music down our throats just like they do with beyonce's music; and they will do this by any means necessary AS USUAL....next they will be paying off radio stations to put this hot garbage in heavy rotation, and forcing the label to buy her cd to make the numbers larger, just like tey did with beyonce's last cd...the first one beyonce sold on her own merit, cause it was a good cd...the second cd was garbage all except for irreplaceable...they bought copies to boost sales numbers cause they needed to keep beyonce is the same realm..they would rather take a financial loss than to show the wor/d she was not successful the second time around. THe label refused to put anymore money into the cd cause trully it was not the success the knowles was making it out to appear, that's why beyonce had to pay for her own videos out on her own pocket. There's no way the label would have done this if the success was indeed selling they way the numbers were showing, and it it was successful as they made it out to be.......solange is ugly, and frankly nobody is willing to take a hit for her...i'm sure the label has already taken a hit in marketing her and giving in to her every wish, no they won't recoup that money...
MTO sometimes i think yall slow, clearly when you click on Solange's songs her album cover pops up to the left and when you click on Beyonce's songs her album cover pops up 2 the left also, Beyonce is just trying to be a good sister and promote her sisters music she not trying to make us think thats her music cause anybody with ears can clearly tell thats not Beyonce singing and we all know Beyonce dont sing that type of music anyway!
LIKE I SAID BEFORE, PEOPLE ONLY SUPPORT SOLANGE OUT OF PITY. THEY FEEL SORRY FOR HER B/C SHE'S LIVING IN BEYONCE'S SHADOW.
WHAT THE HELL CAN SHE DO?
CAN SHE BLOW? HELL NO DOES SHE HAVE THAT "IT FACTOR" PLZ CAN SHE DRESS? WE ALREADY KNOW THAT ANSWER CAN SHE DANCE? F*CK NAW CAN SHE ACT? BETTER THAN BEYONCE BUT THAT AINT SAYIN NOTHIN ARE HER SONGS HOT? NO THIS IS NOT 1965
YALL ARE SUPPORTING THIS CHICK OUT OF PITY!!!!
all of you guys are effing haters. sol-angel and the hadley street dreams is THE best album i've heard this year. and as much as some of you dummies are in love with bey, did you realize that solange writes many of her songs? solo is a great artist that doesn't conform and isn't afraid to express her individuality.
MTO/FRED- is the biggest fraud/hipporicite, just a few weeks ago MTO was promoting for CHARLMANGE- all up in dat n!gga's ass crack licking -even had it as their backdrop on their site-BUT now beyonce is promoting her sister- all of you have something negative to say-WELL i am here gto tell all of you SOLANGE album is GOOD better than Alicia keys and Ashanti's
MTO- you are typical example POT calling the KETTLE Black- until you stop sucking CHARLEMANGE n WENDY's D!CK FRED- all of you over there need to SHUT DA FUKK UP
IGGNANT HIPPORICITAL BASTARDS
@hatelame23- you sound WACK as hell yoself talking abt u deleted BEYONCE like she sent you a friend request LMMFAO- some of yall haters kill me- I am not a beyonce fan nor a solange fan ,beyonce I admire her hustle and solange's album is actually GOOD

LOL- MTO really needs to stop, why would yall purposly keep slandering someones name?? That s*it is not whasup! Yall don't say s*it when it some white folk or anyboy else for that matter. It's always beyonce this, solange that, michelle this, kelly that, matthew this, tina that, jay-z this and that!!! GTFOH with all yall damn haters and then all these self hatin ass b*tches get on here and join in, it's just f*ckin sick!!!!! How the f*ck yall gone knock somebosy for they hustle??!! Damn Haters. Now that i got that off my chest...as you were.
GO COP THAT SOLANGE-IT'S HOT!!!
I guess folks (those who are) are amused at the fact that someone is helping her sister, especially since that is such a rarity on MTO. Let's face it, there are less talented people out here!!! MTO seems to want to see this girl fail. Why the obsession? WTF does Kim K do? Coco?? These nasty biatces are supported so hard. At least this chick is trying to do SOMETHING other than shake her a$$ for bucks!
On the real, and no disrespect to Beyonce, and please do not take off me head, LOL BUT. ~I think Solange is a better singer and dancer. ~Beyonce is a good performer great actually but SOlange has skills.
If you listen to that album with "cater to you" Solange did most of the back up vocals which were tight.
~SO for Bey to post her sisters song on her page to me is no big deal, that is what family does!!!
~Change is good, Obama yall...
FIRST OFF!!!! Yall be JOCKIN the knowles chicks 2 damn hard MTO. Y YALL HATTIN ON BEY
SECOND!!!!! BEY didn't do that her MANAGEMENT TEAM did if you notice if you go to any of their pages Bey, Kelly < michelle < solange someone adds friends and music to their page not actually them these pages are for the fans They have their own private pages for others so before you try to PLAY BEY get the facts str8 now her daddy thats another story.............. This is his doin i am sure well i know yall mad at me now so i am out holla at me takeitbitch2000@yahoo.com
mto shut the hell up . ALL artist have done this , jst like diddy had danity kane , b5 , cheri dennis & day 26 on his page jst as beyonce had solange's music on hers but that didn't make headlines now did it ? .. yall always have something negative about solange, don't you understand you're jst giving her free publicity... i swear yall aren't the brightest crayons in the box .
Beyonce do your "thang" There is nothing wrong with showing love for your little sister. Its ok to be Big Sis and get her music out there. All you haters need to stop. If you don't have your family's support than what else is there. Blood is thicker than water.....Make that money Knowles Family....keep it in the family $$$$$$
I have read this sight since the beginning, and it hurts me to see how us as BLACK people will not support our PEOPLE. If half of you would stop hating and ask yourself, "What would you be doing if you were Solange?" Why not seize the opportunity to make her own paper. Other races surpport each other. WHY! WHY! 45 years ago WE believed in MARTIN LURTHER KING'S SPEACH.. THE DREAM.. Is this what we do when the dream comes true. I'm only 34, but I feel like we are letting our ancestors down, did they die in VAIN! I love all my people! We have too many against us, why help them! Give Solange and others thats trying to make the best of what they have been blessed with! If you don't like her music, cool. But all the personal attacks! WoW! OBAMA 08..God Bless Us All!
HaterzFallBack its not OUR fault Solange is the worst singer in the mutha fxxkin music industry
and WOW bee dats foul i understand dat its ur sis and u tryna support her and all but 4 real u cant do dat [EXPLETIVE] if we dont wanna listen to Solange we just dont want to dat dont mean u trick ur fans into listenin to her music damn
MTO is damn lame. Someone from the Knowles camp is obviously working with them because when MTO makes negative comments about artists on some major BS (like this story) the MTO bloggers are more likely to feel for the artists and support the artist rather than MTO! Don't believe the HYPE. Damn MTO just as much as a kiss ass as that fat azz porky pigged nose PEREZZZ.
i tell you, this is nothing but crabs in a barrel syndrome. clear case of haters on this site. my goodness people, give the girl a chance. and yes i would do it for my sister too! no matter what some people do, it will just never be enough to satisfy a bunch of nobodies! i very much doubt if this family gives a hoot what we or her critics think about them! smdh just don't want to see people try to get ahead!
I don't know if anyone notices but take another look at the page. It may say Sandcastle disco- Beyonce in the player area. But right below it, it has Solange's CD cover right there! MTO are you blind!
Most likely she's not pretending, she's just trying to promote her sister's music.
MTO, THINK A LITTLE FURTHER THAN YOUR NOSE! It's not that serious.
AS MUCH AS THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE, I KNOW THAT THERE'S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO AS FAR AS AN ARTIST NAME CHANGE ON MYSPACE. I HAVE A MUSIC PAGE AND EVEN WHEN I DO SONGS WITH OTHER PEOPLE, IT WILL ALWAYS SAY IT'S JUST ME. AND TO ADD...SOLANGE'S CD ACTUALLY IS THE BIZ IF YOU PEOPLE REALLY TAKE A LISTEN. SHE REALLY CAME THRU THIS TIME
Now that's some sneaky a$$ ish....I know that's her sister and all but she is campaining to hard for this girl....beyonce needs to fall back and let Solange inherit her own fame and fans. And after that lil interview I seen Solange in where she was really miss b**chy, I don't care for you her. First of all she ain't sold that many cd's to be trying to be sarcastic with nobody,I just thought that was so unprofessional of her to respond like she did....and she had the nerves to tell them they was being unprofessional....B**ch please this just yo' first interview calm yo' lame a$$ down.
I thought when Diddy did it he was promoting his own artist???? What label does Beyonce own? Solange is her sister not her artist. I am quite sure the industry has somebody reading all these gossip sites because they do that to see what is being said about their artist. So I am quite sure they will see this.
