Also, she finally changed her avatar photo on socials to the album cover

Edited March 23, 20242 yr by Lose My Breath

I remember when someone mentioned how many streams on Spotify would act ii have by the release date, and I didn't believe it would be more than 200M (I predicted it to be close to 200M), and now TEXAS alone will be above 200M in a couple of days

And someone predicted her total montlhly listeners would be 70 million after the album release, and she's currently at 73.2 million BEFORE the album.  She'll be well into the top 3 after the album, maybe even surpassing the blonde one if she gets a similar boost as she did from the song

I'm obsessed with the feathers. She shouldn't have that nude bodysuit on underneath it that didn't match her skin tone though it ruins the silhouette 

To be fair she decided to go literally the day of and still managed to create a trend that was followed for years and years

I want to be optimistic but I don't know how much room is left for her to grow. I don't think she'll get anywhere near 100 million.

 

I predict she'll peak at around 85-90 million at best, a week or so after the album. UNLESS there's another huge smash on the album that pops off, in which case, I think she can pull off 100 million, actually.

i wouldn't expect much, and i've learned that it's best not to expect. i'd rather have her surprise me again, as she's been doing in the last decade. i just wanna hear some good music, and enjoy everything she has in store for us

imo Bey's most feel-good songs are

 

Love On Top

Before I Let Go

Cuff It

Schoolin' Life

Texas Hold 'Em

Shining

Break My Soul

 

These songs never fail to put me in a good mood.

 

Notice how most of these songs are from recent years. I think Bey's music has become more uplifting as it's evolved and I love that.

Girl where is the legendary Lay Up Under Me?

You're more than likely right, and I only think she'll pass the blonde one if we get surprised as we did with Texas, I don't expect it at all, but I do expect her to be top 3, and surpass Ariana, which would be a huge feat.  I think there is a lot of interest in this project, and her streaming has grown exponentially since Renaissance (thanks to Renaissance).  The next ACT will be even bigger on streaming. 

HIVE!

I need your help.

 

Did Beyoncé ever wear a cowboy hat (or like it) in 2019 (specifically 2019, not before, not after).

TH'E played in a department store today and the cashier and other patrons were singing along, humming and even dancing to it.

 

Ugh it's Single Ladies all over again, a fun, commercial hit.

 

FYI I live in the Caribbean.

Insane smash hit with crazy longevity. 4 million streams today she really gagged

No. 
 

she wasn't really out much in 2019. Did the 2 lion king red carpets and dropped the gift with no visuals (we should've known then) and did the spirit visual.
 

All of that was African themed. 2020 was black is king so, more African looks.

 

We didn't see her do the cowboy aesthetic (other than her dc days + that one essence shoot in 2011) until 2021 with IVP Rodeo (and the Harper's Bazaar shoot).

No, we will rank the acts and fight amongst eachother about it until the end of time.mp3

The fact that she's able to retain relevance without constantly being in our faces...

 

 

Rest in peace, my true love, who I took for granted, most bomb p*ssy, who, because of me, sleep evaded.

 

Ashes to ashes, dust to side chicks.

What if Bey samples or interpolates a song from Selena!?

 

Rumors of a Spanish song on the album and both are from TEXAS! I can only imagine the possibilities! It would be a fantastic way to honor her as well! Bey and Tina were featured in an episode of her recent show on Netflix also! It would be

Happy page 4002!
