HDD gets insider news and sometimes knows things we don’t. They’re a hit or miss. I don’t remember if they were the ones to hint B5. They've been off with a lot of predictions this year but never by more than 150k. I think this should put those 200k predictions to rest. She's likely doing north of 300k.

This wouldve been another SUPER MODERN and IMPRESSIVE thing to do.

I BELIEVE
BGKC Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 She must really trust that second single to pull through and work wonders. Like I’ve said before, BMS was likely the safest/wholesome choice they had and it’s been doing what it has to do without any extra push necessary. She would have clearly put more energy in the lead if she was worried about a lukewarm opening week. Something bigger is likely meant to carry the album thru August and Sept, and hopefully she has a spooky type bop for Oct.
Mr. Specialist Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Beyoncé’s silence is scaring me. She has never been this silent during an album rollout.
Shelter Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 She is not doing those numbers without a visual like Lemonade. It’s not realistic
satellites.™ Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 If Break My Legend were to appear on Netflix front page. Beyonce would go down in history as the most iconic artist of all time. Yes im high af right now, but it still true boo.
carameldelight Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Oh my gosh those predictions Please let that happen!

I am tempted to agree even though CIL is insanely good too. I think people wanted Bey to fail so bad to throw her down and show her she wasnt the goddess she's always known she is. Its that sort of resilience and drive that made me a lifelong stan, I've watched her grow into better and better versions of herself through drama, breakups, divorce rumors, parental struggles, marriage struggles, childbirth struggles, her child being racially attacked, and the list goes on. She NEVER gives it attention, she justs ascends higher and higher and that kind of control is the only reason I can wait because I know the end vision is gonna be worth it. Mother ALWAYS comes through.
Massive_Teardrop Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Hey Beyternet what are you doing when it's Friday and no new news? No news is good news or no news is time for Meltdown #100000 of the Renaissance era?
Machete Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Columbia execs also thought 30 was doing +1.5M Industry execs are kinda clueless of what the GP actually wants. Remember when they said Bey didn't have a single hit on DIL.

Space&Time Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Um, they could have kept those predictions to themselves. 400K would an incredible smash considering the climate. 500K - 600k. I’m not seeing enough. Need a video or some promo. More hype. Waiting for Giselle to start
carameldelight Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 I hate the assumption though that Bey isn’t capable of pulling numbers. If we are being honest we can’t really gage how she would do considering she’s restricted a lot of her music for years. I also feel like if there was a visual BMS would be slaying even more. Idk, but I can understand why fans would downplay the numbers.

ShouldersSideways Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 If nothing happens this week, that will be two weeks of nothing in a six week album rollout.

Idk, but I can understand why fans would downplay the numbers. It’s not that Bey can’t pull, but just that the industry has changed so much that it’s hard to know how things will translate. Plus, while this is more of a traditional rollout that usual for her, it’s not necessarily super aggressive either.

Hopefully it doesn’t leak more than a day before though. Even BMS leaked and that made no sense to me because she normally has everything under lock. 9 minutes ago, carameldelight said: I hate the assumption though that Bey isn’t capable of pulling numbers.

ShouldersSideways Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 For what its worth, I do think Ivytopia may tie into the album rollout based on its description alone. Quote WELCOME TO IVYTOPIA A transformative utopia awaits you in a state of mind we call IVYTOPIA. The summer collection from adidas x IVY PARK imagines the possibilities of a journey with one another dreaming and escaping to one’s own nirvana and infinite potential.
