I’m No Longer Motivated By Charts, Sales – Beyoncé

American Singer, Songwriter and Actress Beyoncé has stated that she is no longer motivated by charts or commercial success.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the singer admitted that "growth" has altered her perception of artistic accomplishment.

The pop queen, who recently went out of her way to release a country music album called 'Cowboy Carter,' said she was glad for the album's "extraordinary success" and that it altered her life.

She said “There was a time in my life when charts and sales excited and motivated me,” 

“Once you have challenged yourself and poured every ounce of your life, your pain, your growth and your dreams into your art, it’s impossible to go backward.

“I’m very grateful and humbled for the extraordinary success of the new album.”
