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.

If it was all due to SB, then My House and 16 Carriages would be having the same success. 

The song didn't even appear in the commercial. 

No, but it allowed people to tune in and follow her direction. Silence is not the best option. 

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

I'm assuming you're being purposely obtuse because this is absolutely not what she meant by quick little singles. An album is coming in 19 days. You'll be okay.

Texas Hold ‘em could be as huge as single ladies if it had some push, but I dont see that happening 

The potential was there. 

Quick question: What did Jack Harlow do these past months to sustain the success of his song other than dropping the song and a boring MV?

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.

 

 

It was unlikely for BMS as well. They released the acapella version and sped up version to secure the #1 for THE. 
 

They didn’t think SL was going to be the bigger song either but her team at the time pivoted and pushed the  song to capitalize on its success. It’s not that complicated. Parkwood drops the ball constantly.

This is the bottom line and the overall point. And saying anything otherwise is pretending to be obtuse.

I get where both sides are coming from but wanting Bey to promote her music is completely legitimate.

Also it's high time we stopped like acting success doesn't matter.

Pls Beyoncé is not about to play these cheap tactics like the Taylor Swifts and Ariana Grandes of the world just for a hit. And quite frankly I'd rather she didn't diminish her legacy by doing sped up versions, TikTok dances and releasing 50 versions of one song. Let the young ones have their little fraudulent hits but Bey is too legendary for that.

So who is ready for the upcoming Instagram post about her gold party outfit? At least that is guaranteed.

Cheap gimmicks like promoting your music and not going ghost for three weeks after dropping two new songs?

Just wanted to make my 1,000th post saying no matter how frustrating she is, I will always be a ride or die for Beyoncé.

The greatest artist of all time 

 

Sidebar..  the THE dance that went viral is cute but I wish there was something simpler for people to do. BECAUSE some people look a mess to me.

 

 

has anybody else spent 10 minutes trying to guess the password to shop.beyonce.com

 

TXH outdoing CIL's chart run at #1 in the UK is a gag

I assume you meant "instrumental" not "sped up" but that is a good point, they did at one point give it some extra possible boost. However, nothing about the song, its rollout or her lack of capitalizing on the songs success constitutes a "quick little single" as she meant it which had nothing to do with the time a song spent as a hit but the quickness with which a hit was swapped for another. That doesn't really seem to be the case, does it? Even with BREAK MY SOUL, wasn't the Hive complaining that she took too long to name her next single whilst there were so many great options getting great streams? I don't think we can complain that Parkwood is dropping the ball while also claiming that all they're looking for is easy hits ("quick little singles"). This uses two different interpretations of the phrase, and not the one Beyoncé used.

 

But overall, if Parkwood drops the ball constantly it seems almost futile to go on complaining about it as if that's ever going to change.

Those fraudulent antics would require her releasing a link to buy the music but that’s not happening so no worries there. 

The Japanese hive showing out was not on my bingo card.

I just think the success doesn't matter that much to Bey, and that's ok because that's the stage she's at in her life/career. Like whether the song is #1 for 2 weeks or for 20 weeks, what different does it make to her? She doesn't need more money. She doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. People are gonna go to her shows regardless. There's nothing to gain.
