The debut album of Chlöe Bailey, “In Pieces,” only sold 10,000 album units, prompting fans to blame her mentor, Beyonce, for not promoting the project. Critics have tweeted that Beyoncé hated Chloe for not contributing to her album, not giving her a feature, or not opening up for her on tour. It wouldn’t be a huge deal if Beyonce had posted a link to Chloe Bailey’s album on her story, after all, she is your artist, isn’t she? another added. Another fan wrote that Beyoncé was nasty for not promoting Chloe’s album. She said that a simple IG repost would’ve probably given the album a top 50 debut.
In the Billboard 200, Bailey’s album debuted at No. 119 on March 31. The “Have Mercy” singer, 24, appeared to react to criticism after fans called the project a “flop” on Twitter. In 2008, Beyoncé founded Parkwood Entertainment, which represents Chlöe and her sister, Halle Bailey. The “Drunk In Love” songstress, 41, has been supportive of Chlöe’s project behind the scenes despite her public silence about the album. In an interview with ET earlier this month the Chloe X Halle singer said that Beyonce had listened to the album. The notes she gave me before I released it was very helpful. As she continued, she expressed her love for her. She means the world to me, and I am so grateful for everything she has done for me.
Beyoncé literally hates her lol didn’t do anything for the album couldn’t even give her a feature and she not even opening up for her during the tour 😭😭 Chloe need to leave that label. https://t.co/0ofmNRwPnW

Netizens Blame Beyonce For Low Sales Of Chlöe Bailey’s Debut Album ‘In Pieces’
The public believes that Beyonce needs to do better. She gets the blame after Chloe Bailey’s debut album “In Pieces” did poorly in its first week of sales, selling only 10,000 units. After discovering the number, fans took to social media to criticize the Grammy winner for failing to promote Chloe’s album. One user added: Chloe needs to leave that label as Beyonce literally hates her, didn’t do anything for her album, couldn’t even give her a feature, and didn’t even open up for her during her tour. Furthermore, another person pointed out that Beyonce had the option of posting the Chloe Bailey album on her Instagram because that’s your artist. According to another fan, Beyonce has been nasty for not promoting Chloe’s album. Just a simple Instagram post would’ve given her a top 50 debut. In another comment, someone asked, “I don’t mean to be funny, but I really want to know what was the point of Beyonce signing Chloe?”. Was it just for a look? So that she can be under someone? The whole thing doesn’t make sense to me, since you let your artist drop an album without supporting it even once, and now she has sold ten thousand copies.
Beyonce founded Parkwood Entertainment in 2008, where Chloe Bailey and her sister Halle Bailey are signed. Chloe, however, responded to criticism after the album was criticized after being released on March 31 and debuted at No. 119, ‘In pieces’, the “Have Mercy” singer wrote on Monday, April 10, about letting go and trusting herself after her album debuted at No. 119 on the Billboard 200. Thanks to everyone who listened to it, I have enjoyed every moment. Although Beyonce doesn’t appear to be supporting Chloe’s album publicly, the singer previously shared that the “Drunk in Love” songstress was behind the scenes. Chloe told Entertainment Tonight earlier this month that Beyonce listened to the album. I received notes from her before I released it. The star continued to gush about her, saying, I love her so much. Dearly, dearly, and I am grateful for everything she has done for me.
in pieces was about letting go & trusting myself. i’ve enjoyed every moment of it and i love everyone who listened to it. tour starts tomorrow in chicago and im so ready to perform these songs for yall ❤️🔥
