Like... this song is just getting better each time I listen to it. Queen just never disappoints.

I thought it missed out on 3 hours for Spotify?

Several people said it wouldn’t be the full day. I’m not a chart expert, so I just believed them.

Just take it easy. I am not worried at all. Whats important is longevity

It is 20 hours. Tracking is 8pm est to 8pm est.

 

The biggest challenge is the lack of New Music Fridays which would have also increased saved library streams, but she will get those on Friday.

It was released early on Tidal, as far as I'm aware. Didn't it come out at midnight on all other services?

Hmm. I thought it was a midnight release.

She is such a student and proud of culture she has always been.

I know we know her music is amazing, but in listening to this playlist with BREAK MY SOUL in between other songs, it really is amazing how solid her overall discography is. Album tracks hitting as hard as hit singles...like, we stan a musical legend, not just a pop icon.

Yeah, I was thinking that yesterday. She has one hell of a discography.

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...

 

  Hide contents

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

 

 

 

 

Wow. Swifties are just another level. Thanks.

Glad to hear the song grew on you.

Like I said in a thread earlier, now all dance songs and edm songs are also House music. It's incredible how she makes people insecure.

Hot take:

 

I feel like the choir we hear in BMS will reappear in several songs throughout Renaissance and tie the record together in a way we cant think of now 

 

I was thinking that as well. Whatever it is, I hope we get a song with choir and big vocals.

That's beautiful. The choir needs to be more prominent in live performances. That part gives me chill. 

I just imagined Break My Soul being the new show closer when she goes on tour. Imagine everyone in a stadium singing and dancing together.

And now imagine Blue Ivy lipsyncing to Big Freedias outro in the MV while Bey is smashing a Vogue choreo

 

It's quite a shift in direction. I wonder how she'll shake up the tour setlist. Or will she yassify her past hits?

 

 

And bring Schoolin' Life back

 

 

 

 

 

Okay Bey!

These other girls could NEVER

This, I feel. 

 

Because the sound is so specific, I really feel she's about to do a Madonna and make the tour very Renaissance heavy and adapt whichever songs she can from her hit list into it. 

 

And I'm here for it.
