Yakult Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Columbia/Parkwood have been dropping the ball with singles etc for a long time (not that Beyoncé cares)…….but I think people are forgetting just how polarising Beyoncé is. Everybody knows Beyoncé has a new album out - but after years of pushing the envelope artistically she's alienated a lot of casual (basic) fans who miss the old B of Halo days gone. She's too experimental for the pop radio crowd but too big a name for a lot of indie/alt listeners to drop their prejudices. Then half of the the audiences she's shown love to over the past decade hate her because they're braindead and convinced she's a evil/illuminati or whatever; or just waiting for her downfall because she hasn't had a public breakdown like the ones the industry/media have induced on so many black entertainers (which in turn makes them hate Beyoncé even more because of her goddess/perfect image in the eyes of the media). At the end of the day Beyoncé is playing catch up on streaming…..but even those numbers are largely just due to playlisting or going viral. You only have to go on insta/fb etc to see how much venom people have towards Beyoncé; I've never seen people crave the downfall of a star like it is for B tbh. No amount of playlisting is going to make those philistines play her music. 4

Thank god Columbia stepped in and put a halt to this deluded auntie and her single choices and gave CI its proper push. Im glad we're getting a second single but… why on earth do you want to push a lesbian ballad when summer is right around the corner and Leviis Jeans and Bodyguard are right there and can stand in their own. Save the Miley collab for the fall and to give the album more longevity, plan a video for it or a live performance with both of them. Columbia can do wonders but this stubborn giraffe won't budge. 1
Machete Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Renaissance era would be nothing without the tour. All the iconic moments and visual imagery happened during it. CC is 90% not having its own tour (my bet is it and ACT III will share one next year) so not having that is crazy. Honestly, idc what masterplan she has with them but withholding the visuals will be looked back on as the biggest mistake of her career. Worse than Lemonade not being put on streaming. You cannot do absolutely nothing for your album + withhold visuals (the thing you're most known for) and still expect for your album to make a mark. 4
Queenyoncee Posted April 26 Posted April 26 so Columbia also posted about it… I hope that they will push it now on Radio the song needs some radio payola and spotify auto-play

yonsé Posted April 26 Posted April 26 8 hours ago, Space&Time said: I still don't understand why the Standard version of Cowboy Carter is not on sale. Not only that but it may literally NEVER come. because she isn't going to send a bunch of new albums into production when she has a stack of unsold BEYINCE versions. think about how adele had all those extra copies of 30 from overestimating her sales. i feel like thats what happened here. they expected the limited edition to sell out so they could follow up with a standard. but the lack of tracks is actually having the reverse effect. its a mess. 3
Lose My Breath Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Imagine if she pushed these songs like she pushed RTW Even just a small percentage 2

CécredSpaces Posted April 26 Posted April 26 5 hours ago, king_queen said: Y'all what exactly does "khia" artist mean? Bc everytime I read it, it translates to irrelevant black artist and I hate that verbiage… …especially in this base You really tried to make "Khia" the new "Karen". ("Karen" wasn't racial at all. It was coined by Dane Cook in 2005, inspired by a fellow comic who he watched in 1998. But Twitter decided it is a racial term and made sh*t up about its origins, so it became one. )
Lose My Breath Posted April 26 Posted April 26 What is especially irritating is that Bodyguard is being released as the radio single in some countries, while II MOST WANTED in others... 2
