Do you all really go back to CIL? That’s the least streamed song of her hits for me. In fact most of the DIL album I don’t stream with the exception of Yes, BWY.

Doesnt work like that when ur intention is to make the world excited for ur new project. People will start talking the moment they hear Bey is involved, so for her to be able to.still create moments like the surprise of the Verizon Ad + THE + 16C is astonishing and goes to show how deliberate Team Bey acts.

 

Im sorry, but a lot of you guys take things for granted with Bey that are just way more complex than you think. Give mother some credit and faith - I think she deserves it after 27+ years

Yes it’s nice she’s able to pull off moments like that, but it seems ALL the attention goes into that one moment, they plan it immaculately, pat themselves in the back a slack afterwards even in some of the simplest details. It’s like those projects are the one thing that matters for the whole era and everything else is just barely done.
 

In those 27+ years the last 13 have had questionable antics that are so common and basic for a release. We get the Big Bang at first and nothing much to sustain the era.

Idk, I feel like it must be normal practice to seek clearance for a sample at the earliest opportunity as soon as you know you’re intending to use it, because if left to the last minute there’s a risk it may not be cleared messing up plans for the whole album. I know Bey likes to keep things secret but I feel like even she can’t get around that. And especially with the amount of samples on Rennie there’s no way she would have gone out for clearance for them all a month or two before the album, that would be way too risky.

it would leak. these artists have loose mouths. 

 

Beyoncé is Beyoncé, and she knows it. There aren't many, if any, artists who wouldn't clear a sample request by her. Not anyone she'd want to sample, anyway. So she has the luxury of not having to worry about that. She can delay the sample clearance as much as humanly possible.

I get what u mean, and I agree that the additionally content we as fans get post album release has been lackluster to say the least. But in terms of creating a moment and launching a new era, Team Bey is truly amazing.

Also I just think we often spend a lot of time moaning and criticizing, but for the moment, THE is doing its thing and the album and thus new content is literally within reach.

 

People love to use Taylor as a comparison, but Swifties also have to wait 2 months since the anouncement. Its not like they are getting fed and the excitement of the anouncement is also gone by now

The Verizon commercial is not going to help album sales. That got people excited about the single and new era. Parkwood is going to have to do more.

Those moments are used to create hype and excitement, that’s when they can catch people people’s attention and the sales. Why not put the link up? Is she going to have another “moment” when she releases the preorder link or not have one at all? Money is her endgame. It’s even more ridiculous now to minimize ways people can pay for her work. 
 

That other is in the middle of a tour, released the link and track list so fans are busy with something.

I thought the announcement was going to happen imminently because of the Bey legion tweet

 

Only for nothing to happen 

 

Album comes out in less than 3 weeks. Meanwhile taylor has her vinyls/preorders up for 2 months before. 

 

No excuse 

That girl is trying to beat her own records and bleed her fans dry. She isn’t afraid of a leak because she’s incredibly litigious and her cult will get the links taken down themselves.

 

I love Beyoncé down but unlike some folks in this thread, I’m a stan who doesn’t follow the blind allegiance guidelines ala Swifties, MAGA, Barbz, Russians

Who knows tho: maybe the release of the cover and title + releasing the amount of tracks will move us again? Lets just sit back and see what shes got in store for us

I’m so sorry guys but y’all ain’t ready to hear the truth…

 

If you want to talk just about the actual MUSIC, so we don’t include « concept » or « context » whatsoever… Lemonade is her most BORING album I can’t remember when I listened to that album for the last time… it’s very boring, too many mid tempo/ballads…

 

after 2 years of Renaissance, I can officially say her best albums are definitely B’Day and Renaissance. Still cannot determine which one I like better… they are both 10/10. 4 and Beyonce (no order) are right behind these 2.

my inside sources told me i was the only one who knew omg they lied… if nothing happens it’s because bey found out about the leak and cancelled everything.

Honestly I will patiently wait and enjoy the album when it comes.

 

At this point it’s whatever, when the album cover, name, tracklist and preorder comes I will be fine.

 

I am just here for the music at this point, marketing has left the chat and I will not stay perched or watching Twitter, IG and ATRL intermittently to see if we have an update.

 

And y’all need to shut up about her doing low opening numbers already. 
 

There is absolutely no way she will open with less than 300k, promo or no promo/marketing at all….be for real.

 

Her brand equity still has a strong demand on consumers.

Usually, people go to work after a song goes viral but this is Beyoncé. That’s likely the the reason for the decrease in the US. It’s still a success but it probably won’t see an explosion until she does something. I can see slight increases on streaming as it gains its momentum back. The pull from Tik Tok definitely hurt its momentum in the US though. 

This is it, if I could ever say one thing to her it would be, "You are the QUEEN BEE, everyone follows your lead. Please LEAD!"

When listening to the album version of AHAP it’s impossible to not hear the elements of the remix in my head.
 

She really elevated an already perfect song.

If it were meant to be the biggest hit of the year it would’ve happen without promotion tho. You can’t force those things. 

BUT YOU CAN PROMOTE THEM!

Just watching some of her live performances at the moment and just noticed the horse at the start of Be Alive…

 

She was telling us all along. Love the little hints, nothing with her is random!

Nadia Lee Cohen is a presenter, Lexus also has a new commercial airing… also a screenshot of the invite to the Gold Party got leaked on Halle Baileys live Instagram given it was on her dresser.
