None of this is surprising bfrfr. Beyoncé hates leaks and was always going to have the physical product in stores post-release to avoid a leak.

 

B loves the element of surprise - the thrill of a new album. I'm kinda happy we don't have the tracklist yet, the tracklist reveal will have impact the closer to the album release it gets revealed.

I mean, has anything leaked? we're just over 48 hours from release and the only thing that's leaked is "Miley Cyrus", which a Miley account on Twitter tweeted about a month and a half  before Mr. S confirmed here.

 

still no song titles and other features/collaborators. I think she just wants it to be a surprise and gag the general public. that seems to be the motif this era, starting with the Super Bowl.

No, isn't it great. I think Ren leaked on the Wednesday but that happened because it was in stores early. 

I really hope the tracklist doesn't leak, I would much rather have her release it herself

 

If Mr. S heard about the collabs, the info is out there somewhere, which means it would only be a matter of time before more info is leaked

It's gonna end up being 16 tracks Renaissance + 28 more tracks of whatever variation across all three acts totaling 44 songs  

Damn the points at number 1. I don't think Texas is going back number 1.

Maybe it's related to his work and that why the info got to him ? 
 

Let me explain, one of my closest friends works for Colombia Records in Paris. She explained to me that for a Beyonce release and only for her, there were only a couple or 3 people in the loop of all information and everything would be language coded until it's out.

Gosh, rap is in SUCH a TRAGIC state. Listened to the first 30 seconds and its such mumble, trap bs **** music. Literally unlistenable

From what I've seen it's just shipping labels being created. Welp if they ship it out early tho.

shipping labels have been created. I don't think the vinyl have left the warehouse yet (and probably won't until Thursday).

The beat is not the problem, im talking about the rap skilles of Future and that Booming guy. Like what? If I compare it to the golden era of rap, this is just trash. Serving Migos

At this point, I definitely don't want to see the tracklist until the moment I open up my streaming service Thursday night.

I got the notification like everyone else that my vinyl and CD shipped from shop. However, it's just that the labels have been created. My guess is that it will actually ship on Thursday.

Although it looks unlikely, now, TEXAS HOLD 'EM could have a chance in the next couple of weeks. If that future song dies down after the novelty wears off, and the streams are really high and radio gets back on board it's possible. we'll just have to wait and see.

The "Booming" guy doesn't rap at all, he's a producer. Also "serving Migos" is brave considering Bey legit has a song where she is singing their demo bar for bar

Sadly, its only chance is album release week. Streams will drop too much after that for the radio gains to be enough to send it to #1 and there is only Apr. 5 and Apr. 12 before the blonde takes over.

It already went number one so who really cares

Ugh, I think she can make it to 280pts but yeah that drop from 472 would have to be huge. 
 

I really hope THE is the opening track. 

they'll drop off enough for it to repeak, don't ask how I know this

Taylor could drop a single 

Bey may have a huge banger on this album besides Texas hold em. This seems like a more GP Record since texas hold em took off worldwide unexpectedly.
