It should be Bey on the forefront backed up by them, not them being the only ones promoting it 1
satellites.™ Posted March 11 Posted March 11 I blame you all for buying Cecred and that perfume whose name I forgot. Who needs music when you can see the money coming in from $20 movie tickets and $200 perfume bottles. 4

It doesn’t make sense for her NOT to release those two things IF something bigger wasn’t coming. I don’t think Camp Bey just plans on randomly releasing the album cover and tracklist at this point (~2 weeks) prior to the “album”(?) release if act ii is just an album. So, I actually think WE ALL should calm down as it relates to first week figures because I think what will be announced will be BIGGER than just an album cover/tracklist confirming/announcing the project. Like that silly little ATBLInsider account said, “you don’t need pre orders if a film is being released hours prior” ….. which I still don’t believe 100% but do believe it’ll be a big deal come 3.29 Yes! There is something much bigger at play. In hindsight worrying about pre-orders and promotion will have seemed all for naught.

Machete Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) Parkwood is a master at taking what could’ve been a genius idea and then dragging it out to the point where it’s unbearable. Like WHAT is the point of her shop being down for 4 days now? Unless she has 10 year olds as coders, there’s no technical reason, so it is clearly an intentional thing that they think is drumming up hype. It would’ve worked perfectly had it been announced within the first 24 hours, but prolonging it has ruined all of that Edited March 11 by Machete 9 1

Because it still falls into the category of: why sell less, when you can sell more? On the one hand, the potential movie may be this huge sensation and dissolve all of our worry about preorders and have Bey open with 500k. I'd obviously be over the moon, but the reality is that she could have sold 700k with that extra preorder window. Pendatic and nitpicky perhaps, but true. Similarly, we may assume a buzzworthy visual will help sell albums, but there's no guarantee its views will translate into sales. We don't have concrete numbers, but using Homecoming as an example, it "felt" like this huge Pop culture moment (and was), but the companion live album only did 38k first-week. Admittedly as a streaming-only release. Of course, this is a whole new release of new music, so stands to sell more. But even if being generous and doubling or even tripling that 38k and then adding it to post-release physical units availability, there's no guarantees of the usual "300k+" Bey has been able to comfortably sell when doing "all the things" needed. At this point, I'm pretty out of complaints and moreso just bracing for some "aha-now-it-makes-sense moment" from her or at the bare minimum a notification from her IG that the title and cover are out.

chaeyonce Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Tell me what was the point of announcing the release date if she was technically going to surprise release it ? Spoiler
satellites.™ Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) I may CACKLE a tad if she does just ignore it 100% and just sends the album. AIBey is coming forreal, she is on vacation. Edited March 11 by satellites.™
futuresuperstar2023 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 The visuals aren't scrapped lol. I hope Y'all are being sarcastic because it's been proven the acts visuals are coming and may be merged together
Burn Posted March 11 Posted March 11 I still have faith that we'll have something by this Friday at the very latest. 5

Beyoncé just merely OWNING/developing the company has been controversial enough for many people who think people who've worn wigs can't also have healthy hair. The scrutiny that anything Beyoncé-related already gets is enough, I think it's wise to let experts be the "faces" of the brand, especially when your name alone is already going to do a lot for it. When the time comes when she feels it needs significant boost, I'm sure she'll upload that "My Cécred Hair Routine" YouTube all the haters are asking for but until then, the best business choice is to get the brand stable on its own merits and NOT because she's fronting it and pushing it in front of the public.
