Okay wait.

 

Renaissance visuals could be set in the present in Echoville.

Act II visuals could be set in 1968 at the Hemisfair.

And Act III could be the future.

 

That's why she's ready for the past and present to meet, because the first part of the visuals is about Act I and II.

 

Also another interesting point is that the Hemisfair was an International Exposition and these were all about what people envisioned the future to be like, which fits with the retrofuturism theme of the tour...

 

Giselle I got your tea.

HemisFair '68 was the official 1968 World's Fair (or International Exposition) held in San Antonio, Texas, from April 6 through October 6, 1968.

 

 April 6 being a Saturday and one week after the album drops. 

there were some interesting things in the interview: about cutting her hair, the saloon, the opera singer, what she does with her hair when she sleeps, her connection to the project and family history. it's an interesting read. and she knows a loooot about haircare. i'm impressed. it's not that she has all those stylists that do things for her, you can see that she knows how to do it and does it herself 

 

she takes CECRED seriously, it seems. i hope she puts the work in, makes it easily available and really makes something about it

She funded it 100% herself so I think she will. She's the only person that will be there to shoulder the blame and any financial loss

Damn a video definitely would have put it over the top. But this is great. I hope it can get #1 soon.

i figured it would be #2 mainly bc it didn’t drop on Friday. still W and another 2020s hit in the basket.

 

it prob peak #1 when the album drops.

If they had website sales still - she definitely would have been #1. It's crazy how these numbers are affected by whichever rules are in place at the time.

Why can’t it reach #1 this week tho? She is #1 on Spotify and Apple Music no?

#2 debut is amazing! i’m sure if it’s stable enough on streaming and continues to rise on radio this week it can rise to the top either this following week or album release like bms

Ohh

 

but wait this doesn’t make sense, she was so close to being #1 with only 4 days and her streams are increasing now even? I don’t know, I don’t think it’s impossible to get that #1 this week

They also had a full tracking week, I believe Bey is gonna scalp him for that #1 spot when she gets a full tracking week stats for next week!

No it isn't yet  

Seems doable but I'm no expert. Radio should increase quite drastically, I'd guess we'd still have the most sales for the following week. If streaming remains stable or even increases I don't see why not? Tbf her Sunday updates always seem worse than other artists, I wonder why?

Anyways that #1 is happening sooner or later, I’m not worried… congrats on the #2 Queen

Is it not her highest debut ever?

“In 1968, San Antonio began a transformation from being a dusty little South Texas town to the growing metropolis we know it as today. Some might argue that year was the most pivotal for the Alamo city — Tom Frost (of Frost Bank), once told the San Antonio Express-News, “The most important date in San Antonio’s history isn’t the fall of the Alamo or the date we were founded, but April 6, 1968” (the day the World’s Fair opened in San Antonio).”

SHE IS SO INTENTIONAL AND SMART!

Look at the graph… the song was driven by Sales and Streams… Jack has streams and radio…. I can’t remember what percentage is what but each million in radio is 1 automatic point…. He has 78 of those locked in for a while. 

Sales are usually driven by big fan bases and do best on actual release week. Afterwards they dwindle down. 
 

I hope she can keep the sales but might be lower, maintain the streams and increase radio.
