I'm probably being delulu but I kinda feel like Bodyguard might have the last laugh. It's sounds like such a breezy summer hit.

 

But who am I kidding, that would require at least a little bit of effort and promo that she would not do.

Give II Most Wanted a chance but by May 1 BODYGUARD better be sent to radio ms Gisselle 

when she sends it to radio as fall starts up and the streams have died down instead

 

Ugh, why didn't they push Bodyguard on release?  It should have had that TTH #1 placement

Because they probably knew its better to do that 2 weeks after Taylor's release. Honestly, I like it better. I feel rejuvenated towards CC and especially Bodyguard hearing that bad album and seeing that beautiful Cecred ad on insta. My shady and promo-sensitive ass is REJOICING

I'm on tenterhooks when it comes to Bodyguard. 

 

It's literally perfection and a surefire hit **if** she/the label light a match under it, but I worry that it may be another casualty of the "everything is baked into the visuals" situation that is ongoing. Alongside Alien, Heated, etc. 

 

I don't doubt that the visuals will be fire, but missing out on these "gee pee" moments because of it is a tough pill to swallow. 

 

Manifesting some kind of Cuff it viral moment for it. Because I struggle to see the label committing to playlisting, a radio push, and promo in the way they would for a pre-album single. As standard-fare as that is for "working" a track for other acts, Bey's whole prioritization with the optics of not "looking" like she's "trying" really makes me think they'll simply be content with the album selling 100k (give or take a few thousand copies) each week and embracing the "album artist" she factually is.

 

Hope I'm wrong.

I can see how the Miley record could have had legs of its own (in an alternate universe). and maybe it will make a comeback and take off at some point. But yeah, let's go full throttle on Bodyguard starting May 1st.

There's absolutely no reason Most Wanted shouldn't be a hit. It's so good!

If she cared, she'd be able to release both "BODYGUARD" and "II MOST WANTED" at the same time, because she's not going to doing anything but approve single covers and go about her day. It'll will be the fans and most of the general public to push the song they like the most.

 

Unfortunately, one of will have to die in the other one's crossfire. I would've said IIMW would become the top 10 hit easily (beautiful song, white country starlet duet for America, Miley's fan base and gp popularity), but I'm thinking the core fan base is leaning more so towards "BODYGUARD" and clearly she see it and agrees.
 

I just don't see her releasing the singing or Columbia pressuring her to release anytime soon. Ideal date would've been release day. With the piss poor reception to Tay's album, it would've still be thriving now. I don't see it as a summer smash, but i think it may due well considering who else releases summer hits. 

She's literally trying to move Cécred units than acknowledge the album beyond Instagram. 

If they do push II Most Wanted it should be in the fall/winter. Bodyguard and Levii's Jeans would be better for the summer. And pushing II Most Wanted later will align well with the Grammys so they can perform it there.

The way Bey is benefitting from the fiasco of *that* album release and reception. Somehow she always stays here and I CAN STAND IT

How exactly is Bey benefiting?

Why do I feel Beyoncé is going to submit American Requeim for SOTY at the grammys'.

YA YA doesn't feel right without listening to the Linda Martell show first. Her voice is so soothing, I love it. 

 

Yes indeed... It's called... YA YA

I don't love Bodyguard tbh. It's ok, very much easy to listen to.. her vocals kind of throw me off here and there tho, like those moans and groans sound a little too deep and hearty on an otherwise soft song. The belts sound good at the closing of the song, but it's those ascending riffs that lead and end the chorus that give me flashback's to the first time I took 10+ inches 

 

Get some taste

but we need some Spotify payola 

 

 

She's really letting the album rot while she sells and promotes Cécrilege to the masses, huh.

 

Most Wanted would've done good had there been a video out, A Thelma and Louise inspired vid. This is what is killing potential singles, there is nothing to create the hype and push them.

I think of that movie everytime!

I want danceyonce back. I saw a clip of her eating Daddy Lessons on the Formation tour on Twitter. I am glad, like Fatima suggested, Bey toned it down to take care of her self. But I'm not done with danceyonce. I need at least 6 bomb 8 counts on the next tour. 😫

 Not them trying to blame the carters for the bad reviews 

 

Also Bodyguard needs to be the new single.

Why would they think the carters and not her arch nemesis Kim k and Kanye?

Ultimately this. There is only so much we can do without Beyoncé lifting a finger.

Because ultimately comparisons will be drawn and itll be yet another example of Bey outclassing another peer, furthering her Queen status.

Even if Bey didn't want to give us full music videos or do any tv promo, I wish she would have at least given us something like this for some songs: 

 

 

BODYGUARD reentering USA spotify on a sunday is a good sign, idk if it had anything to do with it being used in her IG clips - don't know if those have any sort of impact on anything, but hopefully tomorrow it rises and it can be the CUFF IT of the album we needed!!
