She's finally grabbing hold of the simpletons! Maybe ATRL will bandwagon now "Friend I would describe as basic..." is definitely one of my favourite ways a post on here has been started - what was she wearing the red alphit for in her IG post? is that just a valentines day thing?

Dua at number 1 I get the impression that this drop was a surprise to everyone except Tidal, given how it had to be added to playlists by curators in real time, after they listened to it. So many other artists who announced their Friday release probably had their placements planned. Wouldn’t be shocked if Dua usurped THE on a bunch of other playlists tonight.

black-star1 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 1 hour ago, luxurious said: Well I see a 50-60m debut on Spotify this time around pure sales depends on how many copies her team produces and if they get it sent out on time. Would 250k pure sales in the states be too ambitious? I think Ren did 190k but I know there were quite a few limited pieces unless TH’E turns into this monster SMASH hit like flowers or something I do not see the album being her highest lol. More than renaissance? yeah I definitely see that happening I think the album will open much better than Renaissance too, as others have said she’s in a better streaming place. BUT her and Miley aren’t the same. Flowers unfortunately couldn’t get ESV a 300k opening like BMS did, despite the absolute smash it was. With TH’E being a bigger hit than BMS, I can’t see it Act ii doing less than 400k. Assuming there isn’t a shortage of physicals.
ThousandMiles Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I really believed Hold ‘Em would tank but looks like it’s gonna be a cute local US hit It won’t make noise in Australia since Taylor is touring this month and she will devour every spot on the charts for the next few weeks.. Hoping the rumours are true and Bey announces Australian tour dates first 12
BoDaToe Posted February 16 Posted February 16 48 minutes ago, Doogle said: Yeah re the album, vinyl is huge rn so if they come prepared she would be picking up sales that she has otherwise lost from the digital era to now. People don’t buy physical CDs but vinyl is super popular and if she gives a good enough incentive to grab them it could benefit her. I won’t set her up but I’d love to see higher than Renny.

I’m low key a Bey hater (mostly about her writing and credits) but i definitely bought the Renni alternate cover vinyl for collection purposes. I didn’t care for the music until I snuck into the movie last year. I’m actually excited for act ii so I’m ready when the vinyl preorder drops. And if this music has been ready for 2+ years there’s no reason physicals shouldn’t be ready for release day. Tbh THE and 16C should’ve had a 7” for release or at least for second week.

Bender34 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I've been loosely following chart updates (and buying all the versions on iTunes and Amazon). Is a #1 debut realistic, or are we looking at a solid #2?

PrudenceHCharmed Posted February 16 Posted February 16 (edited) Since ST, I've always hoped she hold the title for biggest first week sales by black female artist. This could be her longest running #1 too album if Taylor don't release. Edited February 16 by PrudenceHCharmed
kimberly Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Renee Rapp celebrated the act ii announcement by covering "Daddy Lessons" at her show in Paris. the crowd being so loud was a pleasant surprise. 5
PrudenceHCharmed Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I can't believe we went from "she hasn't had a number 1 hit since Bush" to this and now, the Circus lady, the Dark Horse lady couldn't even crack top 100 I believe the ARTPOP lady won't see any number one anytime soon unless she collaborated with Taylor or B. We went from daily streaming poison thread to a complete silence from the haters. We really WON. 7 1
Rotunda Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I wish we had more info on where she stood. Tryna figure out if I should buy or wait for a diff week.
