Welp, Adele/Kendrick/Drake/Kanye/Billie/Ed and now Rih's comeback turn out to be underwhelming. Thankfully B really came through with quality which is why the album is slaying organically. 

 

ATRL were so confident she will be over after TG only for her to sell organically without pulling cheap tactics. Some were brave enough to predict B7 to sell less than 200K. 

Yeah, this is why I don't get the complaints. Next to almost any era or release by major stars, this has been a godsend  Actual quality and culturural reverence

Dont call this an "era". As of now its an amazing album. Era-wise, this has been dead aside from week 1 and 2.

Some focus on the rollout more than the actual music. Beyoncé put the art first and gave us the best album ever. whinyhive should just go listen to the album I promise you won’t care about how she marketed this album when Virgos groove is taking you to the fourth dimension  

This era may be serving blue balls but at least it's not "waiting seven years and getting Lift Me Up" level blue balls idk how THEE Rihanna's comeback could be such a misfire. So yeah it could be worse

these girls and their fraudulent tactics doing the absolute most while miss bey dropped and called it a day is just inchresting to see.

It IS slowing without any visual or promo to assist it. Y’all can take that however you like. 

i mean of course. there are other albums out now that artists are actually promoting. summer's long over, so most non-fans have moved on from this album tbh

I love how every single day we're shown that there are really no other MPGs worth envying. I'm cackling. I mean, maybe TS? For her rollouts only, not for the quality of music.

 

Yeah, I made an excellent choice when I decided to stan this woman.

But Rihanna is just one song out for a soundtrack. I'm sure R9 will deliver big time (both commercially and quality)

All that rah rah fake kumbaya mess going out the window for multiple fanbases. All the main pop girls have released something and this is where we are. My, my.

 

Bey is still that girl though.

It’s a disaster, but they have the SB. That should turn things around. 
 

People were bashing Bey for payola but it grew very slowly. It never had 60 million radio in one week. Such a scam.

You sure? ANTI is her first album you can play front-to-back.

I actually have a feeling her team was a little miffed when they heard "Move", "Energy", and "Heated", and regrouped a little bit.

Thique finally growing on me  I was horny and it was hitting different

I agree with you, idc about promo but the fact she robbed us of the visual experience There must be serious disagreements behind the scenes or something. Beyonce is the Queen of visuals so the absence of music videos doesn't sit right with my spirit...

I just want to say, when everything is out, I think it will really be worth the wait.  I think they've got some really big stuff planned.

 

 

 

Agree with everyone else here! This week has made me more appreciative of Beyoncé and the immaculate album she gave us. There’s nothing to fight other fanbases over when I could just have an out of body experience to Virgo’s Groove yet again 

 

It is frustrating that there are no visuals yet but well, at least the music is good, and I think it’ll make sense once it’s all out. Like a movie tying all the acts together or something. Just annoying to wait but there are worse problems other pop girls are currently having lol.

Is CUFF IT still a potential hit or is it slowing down? Just curious.

CUFF IT is slowly down. Doubt it will reach top 10. Might spend another 2-3 weeks in top 20, but even that is questionable. 

Now that Bey and Rih are both back into work mode, I would LOVE to see them collab. It would truly be an earth shattering and legendary collab for the books and so cool to see it happen while they’re both still at their cultural peaks

Thankfully I live in the UK where its already a top 5 hit 

 

Anyway you guys worry about peaks top much. This is Beys biggest global hit since I Am Sacha... let it sail through and do its thing.

Well, all those efforts, one will think this is a lead single. Also, the massive airplay and "first song in x years" hype, this is almost like a lead single. Well of course her lead single gonna do better, it all comes down to quality. Will she be like Gaga after A Star Is Born with Chromatica? Or Beyoncé after TG with REN? 

Bey may be holding the visuals hostage but at least she didnt serve desperado w her new ****.

Well I mean she pressed a few buttons to secure that BB100 with BMS visualiser, cliquebait video and remixes...  but yeah aside from that week, she's been MIA

If her lead single is a bop she will easily outdo Stupid Love and Break My Soul, let’s not.
