There will be no opening acts because Parkwood is always late and will not have time to secure one or two.

 

My dream openers: 

Tinashe, Bree Runway, Jasmine Sullivan. Victoria Monet, Megan (if she wants to spend a little more coins), Doechii (not crazy about her songs but she’ll bring the drama), heck even Summer Walker and SZA would jump at the opportunity. 
It’s sad there aren’t a lot of black touring artists, but that works in her favor because she can book a super talented artist. Let’s give these artists more exposure instead of hiring Dj Khaled again because your husband said so.

 

Long shot but if Doja Cat was ready to open for The Weeknd, maybe she could say yes to Beyoncé. Granted her and Abel have the same management team.

im surprised that she wasnt a part of this project. not that it needed her but i really want them to work together 

actually you're right. queer Black woman & dope songwriter so she could have definitely fit well on this record. and it's not like she doesn't have the connections... let's hope Bey is aware of her.

I wouldn't mind Chlöe opening tbh. I love all her singles so far, including the one she's dropping next week.

How many times is she going to open for Bey? We are tired  

Guys, if I disappear again, it’s not because my tea was fake, but it’s because I got banned again. Im literally getting Off Topic warning points for posts I made 8 days ago. Like who gives a **** now? That’s old news, and no one is posting in that thread. I definitely feel like one of the mods is after me. But at least this time, they didn’t ban me for 24 hours with the point. Anyway, Renaissance album of the decade.

OT: Ren AOTY, wbk.

well technically, SHE hasn't opened for her before, THEY did  but even that was way before Ungodly Hour so I'd even take a Chloe x Halle reunion lol. "Do It" would pop off in a stadium setting.

Everyone has moved on from that drama. Like what is the purpose of this?  

and last time I made a “shady” thread, I got banned for 4 days, and my OP was all facts, unlike most threads.
I understand the server is over capacity right now, but this isn’t the way to deal with it.

I’m hoping for an opener that has bops and somewhat align to Renaissance sound. Maybe even an Afrobeats star like Tems, Wizkid, Ckay, etc.

I mean I think comparing scripted tv shows to a collection of music videos is a bit apples/oranges, but I definitely see your point. Lemonade having a televised event is why the Hold Up scene was so notable. 

Think about her having another Single Ladies/Formation type of visual; exclusive will makes it hard for the GP to find the video. 

Also notice, NO media publication did an article about a certain upcoming album leaking 2 days early, let alone NEWS CHANNELS doing segments about it... which is the norm but wasn't for Renaissance.

You can't tell me someone wasn't purposefully trying to sabotage Bey by actively pushing the leak to get attention. 

 

Or maybe Parkwood themselves used the leak as a promo tool

Frankly, I doubt they did. There's this need for people at large to report every single thing about and mostly when it's negative. 

I really think Bey was not happy about the leak. 4's leaking like that was painful to her and I do not think she would encourage such a thing. 

That's why I forced myself to wait for the official release. 

I also think he took away from her first week stream numbers a bit more than a normal leak would do because it was broadcasted everywhere.

We are so hard on Bey, but this album is back to #1 On Global Apple Music & #3 on US Apple Music.

 

Week to week - it is performing on par with Harry Styles who has the biggest song of the year, is on tour, and probably did the most promo this year out of every major act.

 

This album is stomping.

Yes and no. If the Apple music numbers were stomping that hard, she'd be posting more than 33k for the average week on BB200. Especially on a global scale, we shouldn't overestimate the size of Apple Music, but its still a nice feat

#3 on Apple Music US 12 weeks later with the SLEW of weekly HipHop releases (which dominates Apple Music) is stomping imo.

Apple Music is a big platform here in the US, but WW it's pretty negligible from what I understand.  For instance, Spotify has 188 million PREMIUM subscribers WW (not counting free users which I think brings the total close to 500 million), which around 40 million are from the US, while Apple Music has around 88 million, with 33 million from the United States. 

 

So premium members (not counting US)

Spotify: 148 million WW

Apple: 55 million WW

 

Free Members (paid for via adds)

 

Spotify: 312 million users

Apple: 0

 

Apple truly pales in comparison.
