sillycilla Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Been saying the likelihood of it staying top 5 with no push or acknowledgment from Parkwood wasn’t going to happen. Never thought to see the hive and bey happy with quick little singles. 4 1
Crayzik Posted March 10 Posted March 10 I was watching Ms Tina's IG page and she mentionned this band She wrote "My daughter plays this song (Haters's Anthem) for me all the time ". She could be talking about Solange, but since they're signed to Roc Nation I believe it is B. I would love a future collaboration or even great tracks like their latest singles 2

jane Posted March 10 Posted March 10 All of this confirms the extreme impact of the Superbowl. We would have not gotten the same results without that suberbowl commercial, let's be honest here. That part of America have probably ignored Beyoncé for a while since her last super racially charged superbowl. She probably recognized that and did this commercial in part to reset some things for this new album. Verizon commercial and then putting the announcement that she has new songs on her Instagram did all the job. She needs to do the same for Act 3 and plan the whole promo around the next Superbowl, this time release the album the same week of something, it would be a worldwide smash. A music video released on that night would have been so huge but hey it's a bit too late now for that. Let's hope it's a visual album this time and that's why we have no videos yet. It is possible. 1
sillycilla Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Streaming is decent, radio support is good, what’s missing is a video.

Never thought to see the hive and bey happy with quick little singles. It was also unlikely that it would debut Top 5 let alone reach #1 and stay there for a second week but it did. I don't think Beyoncé/Parkwood ever intended this to be a "quick little single" or they would have done more to push it, more to guarantee the quick little success from the start. A video. A remix. A discount. A TikTok. They launched it and left it alone. If fans or Beyoncé is happy with the success its had relative to the little that's been done to create it, that shouldn't be be surprising.

Space&Time Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Ya’ll can be so damn negative. The song is doing great, it’s already a bigger hit than break my soul. The labels have been throwing all kinds of tricks trying to get their artist songs to #1 this week, so this is a good hold. Can you wait until after March 29th to make your Debby downer declarations? 1 4

It is possible. imo the Super Bowl commercial just fast-tracked the success it'd have. No one who previously hated Beyoncé because of her "racially charged" image would have rushed to Spotify just because her ad said "drop the new music", nor would they have known it was country. The ad activated her fans and the section of the GP who are interested in her, and then that created larger discussions which informed "that part of America [who] have...ignored Beyoncé for a while." I can't see one ad making people who once thought she was racist (against white people) suddenly decide she's not. Edited March 10 by swissman
swissman Posted March 10 Posted March 10 (edited) tbh I think it's time the industry made some rule changes. visual album streams should count as album sales and/or singles sales. essentially, it is the same thing as consuming the music, especially when music videos have counted as streams for about a decade. What really is the difference between watching 14 videos on YouTube vs. watching 14 videos in the context of Black is King on Disney+? I know this poses some logistical issues such as how to know what exactly was consumed (like if someone watches ten minutes and then skips ahead and then exits) but I'm pretty sure these sites can figure that out. They already know where you left off in any given program, so clearly there is some tracking going on. I would also assume that these streamers simply don't have to have to report their numbers, which is another factor, but all the same I believe the rule should change, and whether certain streamers choose to report is on them. as mentioned, if music video views are regarded as a stream, even if someone is watching for the video aspect not the song, what makes a visual album any different? We saw how J.Lo's film was one of Amazon's most watched programs during its release week, but none of that viewership made any contribution to its streaming numbers aside from if someone liked the music and went off to listen on their own. To me, this is rather unfair. If Wrecking Ball, for example, didn't have its music video views counted it would not have went #1 when it did, and we all know most views were not for the musical content but for the "controversial" video which was being discussed and dissected all over the internet. I know Beyoncé doesn't really care so she'd never advocate for this, but I just think it's something that is unfairly skewed against such projects. When you watch a visual album you are doing so to see the visual representation of the music. It's not passive like watching a film and hearing music in the soundtrack, it's an active experience where you go into it knowing whose music you'll be consuming. If the goal of Billboard is to track what music is being the most consumed in any given week, regardless of why or even how it is consumed, then not allowing visual album views is willingly omitting a large amount of active music consumption.

chaeyonce Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Okay we get it Giselle you don't care about success can we pleas get the name of the album pls?

jane Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Still pulling 4.5M worldwide on Spotify. If the album has the same stability on streaming, everything will be fine. First week numbers wont matter in the long run. To think this song started at 4M the first day and has since gone 6M daily a few days. I fear we cant predict a damn thing this era.

Rafael Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Saying the Superbowl is the reason Texas smashed is so wild to me. The song was a risk but it was instantly catchy as hell. It just clicked with the GP, something a song like BMS would never. The only mention of new music in that Verizon commercial was in the last 2 seconds where she says "drop the new music".. not even a freaking snippet . The GP wouldn't hold on to that and then desperately go check if the new music was actually there 7

Shelter Posted March 10 Posted March 10 The song being a success has little to do with the SB. It’s a success because people like it. The debut numbers were the lowest for weeks.

chaeyonce Posted March 10 Posted March 10 SB visibility helped but the song being a earworm is what made it smash in the first two weeks Thing is you can't sustain chart success without effort and Bey isn't interested in doing anything to push this song 1
