The inclusion of streaming in the charts meant that in theory every track on a new album could make the Top 40 singles chart and that quite famously happened to Ed Sheeran in 2017 which prompted a change to the chart rules.
Beyonce released her "Lemonade" album in 2016 which there was a lot of hype about at the time. This track appeared on that album and it's placing at number 40 could be considered a success for the simple fact 5 other tracks from that album were in higher positions in the Top 40 the same week.
Despite all the hype around the album, the highest charting single from it only made 11. This was in part due to the fact it was exclusively released on the streaming platform Tidal which unlike rivals such as Spotify doesn't have a free subscription option.
