Cuff It went viral and they (eventually) seized the moment and won.

They only did after we begged and begged and begged. They didn't even wanna do it. They wanted to send CHURCH GIRL to radio.

 

And the second time they went viral for AHAP, they didn't do it either! Until months later when no one was making TikToks for it anymore. Mess.

I'm just a hoe.  

 

3 pages of b'day vs 4 talk but we can't complain and call this ugly era boring ?

After Megan and Kendrick stuff, she must be done with Drake for good and I'm glad. I know they did two amazing songs together (and whatever that third was), but I don't want him anywhere near her again 

Right!

 

I'm pretty indifferent to Drake (I'll bop if the song is good), but much like Taylor, the mass pull he has can't really be denied. So, in being Team Bey first and foremost, I've always liked her link-up with acts like that (#ChartHive). 

 

That said, the minute he pathetically came for Meg I knew that was a wrap. Bey/Jay, Parkwood/Roc Nation are all essentially the same unit. There's no optically ok angle for Bey/Drake collab to happen anytime soon.

 

Anyway, I like that her collabs are still skewing mainstream but totally left of the expected. Keeps her interesting.

Still nothing?

I couldn't even find CC's thread on the 1st page. The era is really over, huh?

I saw that she's down to #4 on BB. 

 

Someone pointed out a while back that even Sade released at least two big videos before she disappeared. I have no idea what Beyonce is event attempting, so stupid. 

It's sad that she doesn't care about creating eras anymore when visuals/performances are literally the main reason why she has such a strong fanbase. 

i tried to stay cool

but the lack of promo disturbed my solitude.

 

yeah her fanbase will progressively die out and you don't grab many new fans with unpromoted albums and uneventful eras. not catering to your core audience is one thing, but when you do that you have to compensate a little to keep everyone happy. and you certainly won't achieve that by withholding visuals and performances and doing virtually nothing while you hide in your hideous, airport looking ass house

Hell no, the only reason there's even an argument for 4 over B'Day is BECAUSE of the expanded version 

 

Take Dance For You out and it's arguably her weakest album. 
 

Dead serious. I know it might sound silly because it's just one song but it really brought more structure to the album and made the entire thing sound and work better as a whole. Not only is it the best track by a huge margin, but it was marvelously placed in the middle of the tracklist making it the centerpiece of the project. The album slowly builds up towards it, peaks with it and then slowly descends again from its highs making for an incredible listening experience. 
 

4 radiates outwards from Dance For You in a similar way that Renaissance radiates outwards from Virgo's Groove. 

I love Dance For You, and Schoolin Life, but I just use the deluxe edition

What's on the second billboard on the act ii teaser? This is where I'm at now. It kind of gives me clown vibes idk

Is the euphoria of the new album release worth the sadness, despair and frustration that always follows? 

When this album lasts a shorter time in the top 10 than Eternal Sunshine.. 

Edited May 1, 20242 yr by Pheromosa

My two cents, 

 

i think she should II Hands II Heaven to urban radio and give that side of her audience something to eat on. If they played Texas and 16 carriages they will wear "hands" out. 
 

as far as the era 

 

I'm beginning to realize that each album is like a single to the "Trilogy Era." This is one big project fleshed out over three acts with each act having its own moment similar to a single run. 
 

that's why I don't believe she (and I use this loosely) cares about having so many singles for each album. The leads do the necessary work to get the hype for the act and then she prepares for the accompanying tour (makes edits on the final visual), and prepares for the next act. 
 

While the current frustration is understandable the universe that she's building is going to be well worth the payoff.

Songs I will cherish for decades on one side, missed opportunities on the other. C'mon now, it shouldn't be that hard. 

Tipsy ft Beyoncé coming soon

No, it doesn't 

4 >>>> that loud obnoxious noise 

 

Theres a reason she HAD to promote it like crazy then and it's at the bottom of the barrel along with Lemonade streaming wise. Given how things are going, CC will most likely join them as well.

i support this bc that shaboozey track is a bop.

Not Renaissance being #194 on the charts. One would hope a new release would give her last album a decent boost. 

Shaboozey is now allegedly dating Noah Cyrus lol
