Why are we doing this???? I’m an AS stan but even I understand the need to push Cuff it at this very moment. It has crossover appeal!!!! Why are we still playing these urban/pop/rhythmic radio games when ONE song can literally be played across all platforms. I can’t stand her.

Twitter Hive has been tagging Parkwood and Columbia for weeks. There’s no way they haven’t seen the spam already.

Not even that, CUFF IT has made several headlines this week with its global performance on Spotify, itunes and Apple Music. 
Finally, when the album dropped they put Church Girl on every New Music Friday and it flopped. It’s insane that they are trying again.
This is just her most idiotic decision, even worse than sending Pretty Hurts to Urban. Everything she does only has one purpose: to antagonize her stans.

 

I still can’t let myself believe that this is true

uh no...i haven't had a meltdown at all this era...not even when SR was announced. but when it came to the conversation between the 2...i said Cuff It was a better song & would be a better hit than AS which i still maintain.

Nah, you hated Alien Superstar with a passion. You were even dragging Tiktok, literally fully against it. And now the only reason CUFF IT is smashing is because of a tiktok dance

!! Also this is something I don't understand. Why are they still doing this? Sorry, Vídeo Phone, RTA... It's messy and serves no purpose when you have songs that have universal appeal and can be played on all formats.

She picked Church Girl as a single

 

 

Well this is the same woman that uploaded one of her best music videos(Formation) unlisted to YouTube so no one could find it in the search bar blocking it to go #1.

 

Nothing surprises me anymore  

 

Cuff It might become a smash on its own.

She's insufferable, Matthew where are you?

I keep telling you all that TTH has nothing to do with labels. that's Spotify picking songs that make sense & perform well. CUFF IT is currently doing more daily streams than BREAK MY SOUL, climbing Spotify charts rapidly, so why wouldn't they?

This time, I agree, the placement was low (#37) and fueled because it was viral and a hit. That is logical and it was clearly done by editorials. 

I do however maintain that Church Girl being #1 on all those playlists first week was the label's work. 

They could at least send Church to Urban too.

Church Girl is radio fodder, y’all should be celebrating she’s picking the most GP friendly single 

Playing shuffle on the album and Church Girl being the first song cued, oh she’s nasty

It wont chart high cuz the GP arent streaming it that much atm

 

Cuff It could reenter Top 20 with radio 

POTS sound is a cute winter single while we here.

They’re not aware of it, the moment they hear it blasting on the radio it will smash!

Be glad she's not trying to push Summer Renaissance when it's about to be fall. And BMS is already down to #20 on overall radio. We need SOMETHING

At least SUMMER is the fifth most popular song on the album, it sounds like a WW hit and it’s already gaining 2x the amount of daily streams compared to CHURCH GIRL 

 

it can totally work as a pop single

 

 

Both songs can be singles. But NOT NOW!

Girl it isn’t even streaming/playlist fodder right now. Despite them trying since day one. Forcing a song is not the vibes.

Summer annoys me because I don't want Pure/Honey to end.

4 flopping really did a number on her

It’s just fodder period. Cuff was BY FAR the most gp friendly track.

Nevermind

Church Girl being sent to Rhythmic radio has nothing to do with Cuff It’s global performance. US radio means nothing out of the US and Cuff It is still the song playlisted in Spotify. 

!! She’s clearly gonna do something with cuff if too

It might be messy or whatever, but the reality is Pop radio doesn’t support Beyoncé organically, and they never go all out for her. Urban and Rhythmic do. She’s giving back by sending songs that could be played there instead of forcing them to play pop songs. Which they would do, but that would be playing pop radio’s game and saying FU to her main support on radio for a hit. There’s been a conflict between Jay/Kanye/Bey and pop radio since the days they were all friends and they’ve been quite vocal about it.
