I knew I should've waited for everything to be released

it takes months to press a vinyl album and physical copies. she submitted that version to be pressed months ago. 

And still it's incomplete, sooooo…

Chart Hive!  This seems really promising.  It's debuted on spotify with only a few hours of availability

 

Album: COWBOY CARTER

 

Spotify:

#27 Australia (NE)

#27 New Zealand (NE)

#92 South Africa (NE)

Protector might be my fave as of now

 

The way I choke when I saw this.

The vinyl thing is a mess. 
 

I have to admit, yesterday I didn't like the album. I'm slowly coming around

It does, but also remember that it's holiday time, where streams are usually lower, so remember that

Does she normally restock merch?

Then they should've been sold at a DISCOUNT. Not packaged with a t-shirt with the name of the UPDATED ALBUM and sold at a PREMIUM price???

 

Nahh I'm sorry. I'm pissed.

Or maybe she should have kept that tracklist for now. Then add the missing five for a Cowboy Carter (Tour Edition) before the tour.

if she was touring this summer she would've had to release dates already. next year probably

She's not gonna waste the rest of the year just to tour this album next year.

multiple people have confirmed that SPAGHETTI, and tracks 18-21 (FLAMENCO to OH LOUISIANA) are absent from the vinyl. someone posted audio showing LEVII'S JEANS going straight into DESERT EAGLE on the vinyl.

 

"FLAMENCO" is the bonus track mentioned on the CD, because it is on the CD but absent from the vinyl. 

Omg 😣 I thought it was just one person

lol YOU asked why she would sell the album that way. that is why. vinyl plants require a version of the album months in advance. is she supposed to throw away hundreds of pounds of vinyls because 4 songs aren't on it? that's dumb and wasteful. you'll be ok.

How was the movie actually received among the Hive? It's so underrated imo… I never understood why the album performed as bad as it did.

No physicals. Not a real Beyoncé album. I bet if she sang all of the songs and wasn't heavily tied to the movie, it would have done better. It should have just been named The Gift.

I wanted that goddamn hat

If those songs were added recently it could explain why she was filming again not long ago

I totally understand. That doesn't make it any less right for her to do? And I can still express my discontent however I like.

 

thanks for answering though

She could've done a lot of things. But now there will be thousands of fans receiving an album without multiple fan favorites 

Not her pulling a Pink Friday 2 with the physicals

oh watch her accounce it just 1 month prior

@Nazareth pls come out of hiding king

She really said, "You cigarettes are going to buy this unsold stock," seeing how the webstore exclusive is going out to retailers on April 12 with the same variants that are still available on her site.  They may have pressed so many CDs and vinyls this time.

Taylor did it first with Midnights (20 tracks on streaming / 13 on physicals)

 

which is why it's funny to see certain swifities try to drag Bey for it

It's different because while there is a standard version with 13 tracks, she also sold the deluxe on Target the same day (3am and Lavender editions). There are more variants that came a year later ('Til Dawn and Late Night) but those are more like bonus songs, like an outtake and the Ice Spice remix.

She didn't sell the 3am edition as physicals in Target, only the Lavender edition. The 3am edition which had 7 extra songs was on streaming only. Yes she eventually included those 7 tracks on the 'Til Dawn physicals, but so will Bey - I'm sure she will add these 4 songs to future editions.
