swissman Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Just now, Grumpy Gills said: Kinda shocked tbh, though the GPee would eat this up TBH I think the issue is that the GP hardly knows it's out. What she should have done is announced this months ago with the new trailers, and opened it to pre-orders like most of her peers do so she could accumulate months of sales into one week. That, and not release the song from the movie as the single despite the album being something completely different. It's a bit confusing. Anyway, the hopefully the Hive doesn't get too invested in this like everyone else and then use it as an excuse to run around ATRL acting messy for years just because they had their feelings hurt by other stans who had their feelings hurt because someone else hurt their feelings once more. It's a gross cycle and needs to stop. As for Beyoncé, I think she'll be alright. She clearly has not cared about #1s since 2011 or she would have released her last 4 works (ST, Lemonade, Homecoming, EIL) at the start of the tracking week instead of halfway through it, and actually released proper singles without unlisted videos and all that.

You thought a brand new Beyonce album for gigantic hit The Lion King was going to be outsold by a week old album and also potentially by a 17-week old album?

Now that streaming counts for so much, having a hit is a big part of what creates "album sales". The funny thing is the detractors are saying The Lion King was guaranteed success, bigger than Beyoncé, and so on but aren't willing to see how if that is true, that a new album released the week after the Soundtrack was released is confusing and likely to get overshadowed by the event of the film. It's not like each showing says, "There's also this other album, no not the soundtrack, another one, ya, it's by Beyoncé and some other artist you've never heard of ... check it out!" ... you literally have to be in the know.

letscauseascene1 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Why didn’t she spare the potential loss, and use: VARIOUS ARTISTS for the artist spot instead of only her name? That would not have tampered with her streak, a la THE CARTERS’ “Everything Is Love”. She’s featured on most of the songs, and isn’t even on some of them. I thought it was weird she didn’t use Various Artists, since technically it is a compilation album of collaborations. I thought Parkwood Entertainment™️©️®️ was better then THIS!

Nova_23 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The excuses in this thread aren’t going to help your fave secure good numbers for her next release. Clearly the GA and her own fans aren’t here for whatever it is Ms. Carter had been putting out these days. Based on the numbers, I’m beginning to question how legit Lemonade’s numbers are since ya know Tidal was involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
