Alien is still WAY outdoing Cuff It though?

Alien is playlisted, Cuff It not yet. 

We know our girl Bey would not release country  music like Blake Shelton, Luke Brown, or Florida Georgie Line. That music is awful and Bey has a creative vision so much higher than that. 

 

Id love for her to take inspiration from the likes of Dolly Parton, Yola, Chris Stapleton. More like a soulful country sound with jazz, r&b, and southern rock influences. Yola is the perfect example. 

 

But actually, I’d love an album like Dawn FM or The Slow Rush.

It was playlisted before and nada

 

 

 

The logic that Cuff It is "winning" because it's "viral" when Alien has been viral for a month and has been outcharting for ages, even when Cuff It was playlisted everywhere.

All this excitement over CI and AS, but we still don't have any push from the team yet

Right

 

And it appears they wont

Cuff It is a hit in the making...there's a reason why its still been hanging on since release date. All it needs is a "push" just like yall asking for AS to take off. 

 

its only 2nd in line...it's not like ppl are proposing that AHAP should be the 2nd single that's nowhere to be found.

AUIYM's background vocals are heavenly

Alien will be at 50 million streams on Spotify within the next week, probably over 100 million by years end

Cuff It is the better radio song. It's something that excels there cause it has the most appeal. 

Heated’s BGVs >>>>
 

That “with a waist that whine like this, oooooh” at 3:04

I had a dream last night you guys... Beyoncé was announced as co-headliner of something/a festival with Future. It was in Miami.

That Tiffany fit looks like a Renaissance visual.

If the ERA is going to move into ACT II, she might as well

 

But it appears like she's not going to push another single

It’s becoming clearer and clearer that the intention was always 1 single per album. If we’ll have 3 albums by next summer, that’s the perfect amount of time to release 3 singles. BMS, the act 2 single this winter, and the act 3 single late Spring.

All the album tracks are doing good imo. The visuals will hopefully give them all a boost when it comes.

Alien is that b*tch! It just needed to the proper playlisting. Imagine it's numbers if it was put on TTH and NMF on day one. 

 

The cuff it dance is cute, so is the energy trend I saw recently.

I don't get that. Why not rack up as many top tens, potential number ones as possible?

 

And weren't they sending certain songs to radio?

I wonder what stopped her from making it "He thought he was ******* me good, I told him go harder".

the second single should be Heated but y'all ain't ready for that conversation

she co-headlined with The Weeknd in 2015 when his biggest hit was "Love Me Harder." she's friendly with Future so I don't think it's an outlandish dream?

 

but let's not argue about the validity of something I came up with in my sleep lmao

Maybe to avoid overexposure. If she did release 2 singles per album between Summer 2022 and Summer 2023, that would mean 6 singles in the space of 12 months - which is excessive for any artist and only gives each single 2 months of life. 3-4 singles per year is pretty standard.

 I am! I love Alien Superstar but something about Heated also has mega smash hit written all over it. Alien Superstar is the crazy in love to Heated's baby boy. 

 

Add drake to the remix and it's a wrap!!!

Yes. You get it. I'm hoping this second act is a reclamation of country with the angle of celebrating her Texas roots. Can my wishlist below be accomplished in 16-17 tracks? I think so.

 

I'm hoping we'll see:

- Selena Q (TX) sampled to show love to TX Tejano music & labelmate ROSALIA on the track

- Dolly Parton (hoping for a chorus interpolation of "You're The Only One" almost like Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" on "Summer Renaissance")

- Charley Pride & DeFord Bailey samples

- Mickey Guyton (TX) & Kacey Musgraves (TX) either collabing or songwriting (both received Ivy Park Rodeo gear. Both have also shown love, as well as Miranda Lambert (TX) )

- Rhiannon Giddens (queen of American Roots Music) & YOLA are a MUST.

- Because she booked Nile Rodgers & Sheila E on this project ("Cuff It"), I'm hoping for Stevie Wonder on harmonica. Is that too much to ask?

- her former longtime Columbia Records labelmate and big fan John Mayer on guitar (but that's a bit dicey with her "me too" stance... might not happen. Travis Scott (TX) is on ice too.)

- The Chicks (TX) must make an appearance (Also from Texas, very pro-Women empowerment, existing working relationship)

- labelmate Lil Nas X might show up (his fight with Country radio during "Old Town Road" was highly publicized, as well as black act BRELAND who has been breaking down barriers in "the sound" of country music with his fusions)

- I'd personally love a Kane Brown country-pop co-write, with Nelly actually appearing on the record as a collab, but that's just me.

- REBA has shown love too (interpolation?)

- Have a feeling Ryan Tedder isn't the only former team-mate we'll see on the songwriting/production side. Her industry bestie Justin Timberlake? Hmm.. He's also the perfect person to make the Chris Stapleton introduction.. )

- Last, I would love to see past music, Beygood, or Ivy Park Rodeo collaborators Bun B (TX), Slim Thug (TX) (now goes by "Big Slim"), Tobe Nwigwe (TX), Megan Thee Stallion (TX), Trae tha Truth (TX), and Paul Wall (TX) on some 6-minute, revolutionary country-trap cypher record (at the end to not freak out the YTs too much lol).
