Beyond haemorrhaging potential sales because of the lack of preorders, the lack of title is a big issue atm too. An awareness issue. Sometimes, we as stans forget that there's a whole GP for whom consuming Beyonce is a more passive, non-committal experience based on headlines they see while scrolling on social media. With Act I, the literal the project title "Renaissance" was cemented into mass conscience before we got a cover and other details. With this, the "Act II" title is what's getting mass coverage, only to switch up when she finally spills what it's actually called. She's left so much time for the placeholder title to marinate and will want/need the world to move when she reveals the "real" title. I'm being nitpicky and it's not the end of the world, but it's yet more that's annoyingly ...unnecessary. 1 1

I'm super into marketing and, in being super into Bey too, I like assessing her antics without my stan hat on and from more of a general marketing lens. Sequels rarely do better than originals and, in music terms, "part 2's" create confusion for the GP. Is it a deluxe? A re-release? A whole new album? The relative failure of Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience Part 2 being the best example. None of those confusions exist if the new album has isn't own name.

Im just surprised that they let news report it as Act ii everywhere when it has a different name
PrudenceHCharmed Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Well, the website was down a couple of days before Renaissance was announced so the pre-orders is probably coming in matter of days, hopefully.

When she announced the title, news will use the official title and Act II will be forgotten in minutes. 2
Blue Rose Posted March 8 Posted March 8 She’ll break the internet anytime she announces but I wanted it to be done during business hours
Chris Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Anyways, stream this gem while we wait for nothing to happen AGAIN since we're at two places but different paces. 4

PrudenceHCharmed Posted March 8 Posted March 8 I love how versatile and how she always taking the risk when it comes to lead single; Crazy In Love vs If I Were A Boy vs Run The World vs Formation vs Break My Soul vs Texas. She has tried Pop,Ballad, Trap,Bounce, house and now Country as lead single. Run The World may have been underwhelming but it eventually became a classic. In some cases, like Drunk In Love or Formation, it is considered a relatively new and never heard before genre.

Kristie Kuwa Posted March 8 Posted March 8 The most exciting part about act ii is knowing that itll likely feature the best ballad of her career

Starshine Posted March 8 Posted March 8 One thing about bey is that she’s a kinky woman, and she and I have our values aligned. Enduring that era of torture has prepared me for anything. We are so close, the hate tweets are getting more unhinged by the day, the OBH are on their toes.. it’s about to get uglier than Kenneth Petty. 2
