still crazy to me how this is considered her “flop” album and still have so many memorable moments, iconic music videos and songs that are still being played, be it in weddings, birthdays, clubs or graduations… her flop is still successful lmao

It’s only considered flop album to chart obsessed pop fans. Classics aren’t flops

its a flop for beyonce status. just like rainbow, charmbracelet and glitter by mariah are considered flops even though they all went platinum or more and peaked within the top 5

I walked down the aisle to rather die young 🥹🥹 whole album special to me. Then she was performing it in Charlotte and I got sick soon as the chorus came in. Got back to the hotel and found out I was pregnant with my miracle baby after beating cancer. It’s near and dear to my heart.

4 is the record that helped re-cement my love and appreciation for Beyoncè not just as a pop hitmaker but an overall artist. She could have easily taken 4 in the EDM direction that was huge at the time. She flirted w/ that sound on Gaga's Telephone but when everyone was going right Bey went left and made an album purely for herself and not the charts. I'm so happy she took that risk because we got a masterpiece in 4, and she hasn't looked back ever since.

This was first album I physically bought, I was 11 so I was oblivious to the criticism it received. I adored everything about it then and still do. Arguably one of her top albums and eras 🤍 so glad it got redemption over the years ✨

Beyoncé alway picks the right choice and that’s why she still running it. Everyone doing edm and that music is now consider dated. 4 is a fan favorite but it’s also has become a favorite who are not stans. It is the album that help Beyoncé career fly.

4 is still my favorite bey album to date along with bday. nothing she released aftr has had the same pull on me. the mrs carter album maybe but thts as close as it gets. I feel 4 didnt get its flowers bkus the soung at the time was edm focus, bey was pregnant and the confusing single choices. Party shuda been the lead or love on top. Or even she cuda kept her previous theme and do a duo single release like she did wit "i am.." and mrs carter. so many great songs. love her vocal strength and rawlness. Reminds me of Human by brandy which is super underrated and needs to have a video covered (s/n, I wish they wuda officially released "slow Love" as a duet single)
