Gosh yall are obnoxious af. Who but crazy stans preorder something they have no clue what it includes? We dont know the amount of tracks, the collaborators, etc

 

Like you do realize only crazy stans preorder such things? And THE + the daily listener gains on Spotify Show that Bey appeals significantly more to the GP this time around than before. Therefore its only logical to assume that things will pick up more closer to the actual release date.

 

Use ur brains hunties and faguettes

it doesnt hurt, trust me

 

 

could not have said it better...whew. They are annoying af

And US nowhere to be seen. Local they said. 

 

Let hope SL can get off the floor and get to that level eventually. 

 

Whoever started the local narrative needs a huge reality check tbh. Beyonce performs well in most of the top 10 music markets:

 

USA and Canada - obvious

 

UK - 4th most certified female, literally in top 10 daily streamed artists as we speak. 

 

Australia - 6th most certified female, CIL, SL and Halo are all over 10x Platinum.

 

Brazil - Highest selling international female artist, Halo was the decade end #1 song in Brazil.

 

Korea - One of the top 10 most streamed international females, and was huge in the digital era. Halo was in the Year End Chart for 6 years and Love on Top for 5 years. 

 

Japan - She was huge until 4. During 4 when USA abandoned her singles Run the World reached #6 and was a Year End #41 hit.

 

France and Germany - More inconsistent success but she's top 10 in both countries and higher on the artists charts as we speak. 

 

Beyonce is a global superstar. No one cares if you peak at #1 in a random country if you can't break into the top markets.

I appreciate ur breakdown, but we can also answer it way easier:

Beyonce is able to sell out stadiums all over the world with ticket prices starting at around $200 - it doesnt matter if its Dubai, Johannisburg, Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Seoul, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Paris or New York.

 

These are things only Taylor can do atm. No other female is able to do that, especially no other female who started out in the 90s. End of convo

The vinyls in the EU store are selling fast. The blue & red variants have less than 1k available. Inventory for the white variant is almost under 1k.  

act ii having a streaming component would make sense cause that would boost numbers, but that feels like... another wish moreso than hope.

Ok I’m ordering now

If Bey wants to cross another genre off her list after the acts are done can she give us a New Jack Swing album.

Is it just me or are u guys also feeling more excited towards Cowboy Carter at this stage than u did towards Renaissance in mid July 2022?

 

Now they're definitely reaching here lol

I am really excited but the way Renaissance is still literally haunting me is crazy. That album is pure perfection.

 

cozy, alien superstar and Virgo’s are definitely among her best tracks ever

Hmm I guess, but then its all part of the Texan flag and I do think she's laying Easter eggs here

Whats more impressive are the inclusion of the Icons on the vinyls in the Im That Girl teaser. Now THATs crazy

UK store

Red 1110
White 1498
Black 6794

At this current pace the Blue and Red will just sell out. A cute "sold out" or two on one of the stores might kick the hive into gear through word of mouth/fomo. Seemed to work well last time with the box sets.

I love documenting my favourite tracks on first listen because it is always interesting to see how it evolves over time.
Also interesting to see which songs the hive clicks with and which one's the GP resonate with based on first day/week streaming numbers.

When I first listened my top 3 was Thiqué, Alien Superstar and Cuff it. My top 3 now is Cuff it, America has a Problem and Heated.

Cozy was never on my radar at the beginning but the way she elevated it with RWT is crazy.

Cant wait to get into yet another Beyonce sonic experimental universe. She is one of the most dedicated ALBUM creators of our time

Thats so true:

 

My top 3 on initial listen: BMS, Summer Renaissance, Pure/Honey

 

My top 3 now: Virgos Groove, Cuff It, Move/Heated closely followed by Im That Girl and Energy lol

 

Move, Heated and Energy were also highly boosted by the Tours performances

Now wait a minute, y’all kept saying sis was gonna do 150 K because she wouldn’t put a pre-orders. Then she put up the pre-orders.

 

Now the pre-orders are never going to sell because she won’t promote them. What are you gonna say when she does that too?

Since I first listened to the album, my fav has been ENERGY. I remember it was literally on repeat.

 

however, it was also the first time I could literally listen to the album as a « no skip » (I’m lyin because I’d always skip Break my soul). I mean, just like a Summer Walker/HER album, Renaissance is an album you can play from START to FINISH.

 

the song I wouldn’t really click with during the first listen (but I wouldn’t say I wasn’t liking the song back then, the only song I truly still can’t listen to being BMS) was Pure/Honey but the day after my RWT date !? PURE became one of my fav ! The instrumental is HYPNOTIC. 

 

each song has something special to me on that album I don’t know how to explain it

So true. Bey is now at the same stage like Madonna was during her Music era: Tour FORCE, and the GP eating up any musical venture she takes us on

What's the new theory of the day? 

 

11 days and 16 hours left guys

I think they’ll just move the stock from one store to the other. Makes no sense to have the UK sold out when there’s demand for a product and have 15k unsold vinyls in the US. Specially when the original UK stock is produced together with US one.

Okay Beyonce, posting on Parkwood, and some random TikTok garnered you 415 vinyl sales in 5 hours...  Time to rethink the promo plan sis

How much did they start with?

I would LIVE for this. 90’s rnb/new jack swing era is undefeated in my opinion.

No one can say for sure, but I think this was the most believable based on stock that was left

 

Black 50k

Blue 30k

Red 25k

White 20k
