I didn't know today was World Music Day too  

The way she sings "I'm on that new vibration".....Whew I had missed her lots

 

 

This is doing so well internationally - especially in the UK where it just reached #1 on their AM. And now top 3 on US AM too

If it wasn’t for drake album bomb Beyoncé would have been no.1 on Apple Music. I’m pissed! 

He is a *****. An A&R at Universal who is linked to someone in Bey's camp probably told his team and he did it on purpose. His entire album sounded unfinished and rushed. He has a weird obsession with Bey and it is getting creepy. She will continue to ignore his ass. 

I wonder how drag queens are gonna factor into this era.

This is such a big day in other countries. They have free concerts, fireworks and it’s all over the news. Im disappointed America doesn’t celebrate it. Then again it’s not something Hallmark can cash in on so that’s probably why

I love it.

Whenever B gets on Drake's current wavelength ... she executes it better.

"Find Your Way Back", "FRIENDS", "ALREADY", "I Miss You", and now "Break My Soul". 

 

He can keep sending her publishing money though (Can I, Girls Love Beyoncé)!

It has 3M on YT. What do you think?

Finally got some free time...

 

Okay... I don't think YouTube is a good indicative of Spotify streams for her any longer, especially because Latin America (sans Brazil) and Southest Asia are not exactly Beyoncé's stronger markets. 

 

Let's do a little breakdown and predictions...

 

Spoiler

Apple Music's top music markets are the US, UK, Canada, Australia and Mexico.

 

Important Spotify Markets in Latin America based on Apple Music's performance

 

Argentina: okay so here the song's sitting at #49 right now, two spots behind Harry's "Matilda". Matilda got 30K filtered streams there yesterday so I think Bey's doing between 25K - 38K filtered streams there (it could either miss the Argentinian Top 200 or chart in the 180's/190's...

 

 

Chile: the song's at #79 right now there, international pop songs tend to do a lot better on Apple Music than on Spotify here (per example, Taylor's Willow peaked at #6 on the overall AM chart but it barely debuted in the 140's)... I expect the song to not make it to the top 200 (<25K filtered streams)

 

Brazil: the song rose to the #1 spot of Apple Music Brazil very quick, Beyoncé's strongest Latin American market is Brazil precisely so I expect her to clear between 350K - 500K filtered streams (Top 5-10)

 

Mexico: song's at #62 on AM and the Mexican AM Chart is very similar to the Spotify Chart, I think she can land between #90-100 tomorrow (155K-170K streams)

 

Other countries: ~50K - 70K streams

 

Streams from Latin America: 600K - 800K

 

Important Spotify Markets in Anglo-America based on Apple Music's performance

 

Canada: song's sitting at #12 right now and non rap songs tend to do better on Spotify. I expect her to make it to the top 10. (140K - 200K streams)

 

United States:  she's at #4 on AM right now and the Spotify tracking day is over so she should have a Top 10 debut on Spotify locked since non-rap songs usually have a better performance on that platform. (1M - 1.5M streams)

 

Streams from Anglo America: 1.14M - 1.7M 

 

Important Spotify Markets in Oceania based on Apple Music's performance

 

New Zealand: she's at #7 there on AM and the Top 10 of Spotify yesterday was almost the same as Apple Music's so... She will land another Top 10 debut there. (21K - 30K streams) 

 

Australia: she's at #11 and should have no problem getting another top 10 debut on Spotify. (127K - 140K)

 

Streams from Oceania: 148K - 170K streams

 

Important Spotify Markets in Asia based on Apple Music's performance

 

 

Japan: she's not in the top 200 of AM there so I'm not expecting a Top 200 debut (<30K streams)

 

The Philippines: she's at 16, one spot above Lizzo and three spots above Taylor's All Too Well 10M... Lizzo was at #23 yesterday with ~145K streams while Taylor was at #49 with ~100K streams... Since Bey's above both on AM, I'm gonna say that she's debuting inside the top 20 of Spotify Philippines with 160K  - 180K streams.

 

Indonesia: she's not in the Top 200 of AM so I doubt she's gonna make it to the top 200 of Spotify (<45K streams)

 

India: for some reason she has two versions charting at #96 and at #120... That should be enough to make similar numbers to Ed's Perfect (#76 on AM India) so... (100K - 120K streams)

 

Other countries: 50K - 100K 

 

Streams from Asia: 360K - 470K streams

 

Important Spotify Markets in Europe based on Apple Music's performance

 

Germany: she's at #18 and the performance between AM and Spotify there seems to be pretty even so I'm predicting (185K - 200K streams) 

 

France: international songs do way better on Spotify than on AM there. Bey's #17 which is 6 spots above Harry's As It Was. AIW got 209K (#10 on Spotify) streams in France yesterday. Kate Bush is at #19 on AM now and was at #4 on Spotify yesterday with +255K streams. These comparisons lead me to believe that Bey's debuting in the Top 3 of Spotify France with 260K - 300K streams. 

 

Spain: she's at #24 on AM there and international artists tend to do better on AM. I expect a Top 50 debut with 140K - 160K streams. 

 

United Kingdom: she's at #1 on AM there. Kate did 591K streams on Spotify yesterday so I'm gonna predict 600K - 650K

 

Sweden: she's between Kate and Harry on AM right now, both were at #6 and #7 on Spotify yesterday respectively so I'm gonna go with 95K - 105K streams there, another Top 10 debut. 

 

The Netherlands: she's at #1 on AM there and ahead of the #1 and #2 song on Spotify yesterday. I'm gonna predict 210K - 230K streams. #1 tomorrow.

 

Italy: she's at #24 there and the AM/Spotify relation seems to be pretty even for international songs. She should debut in the Top 20 with 145K - 180K streams. 

 

Streams from other countries: 350K - 500K (since she also seems to be performing well in Norway/Belgium, etc)

 

European Streams: 1.98M - 2.17M

 

Streams from Africa are still low so I'm gonna go with 80K - 100K from the entire continent. 

 

That brings us to a total of 4.3M - 5.4M filtered

 

Keep in mind that this is just my prediction... Anyways goodnight Hive

 

PD: after listening to it obsessedly, the song finally grew on me

 

 

 

 

#1 Apple Music UK

Very insightful breakdown! Thanks for this! It's rising expeditiously in a lot of markets still and it debuted with 4.2M views in 24 hours on Youtube, which is phenomenal for a lyric video. I think <5M is very probable.

 

Edit: she has the South African Spotify #1 on lock I think. It's arguably her 2nd strongest market (behind Brazil) and the song quickly landed at #1 on their AM, iTunes and Youtube.

She needs to tour those 2 countries

After having this on repeat all day I feel like RENAISSANCE might serve a Black Is King type visual project. I keep trying to think of a visual that fits the song, and with lyrics so far removed from Beyonce (9-5), the only thing I can come up with that’s similar is Black Is King. 
 

Kinda makes sense if you think about the way her visuals progressed from ST to LEM to BIK
