Plus, while this is more of a traditional rollout that usual for her, it’s not necessarily super aggressive either. 7 minutes ago, Shelter said: It is when the physical release is involved. 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. BMS didn’t do massive numbers on Spotify first day, that’s not a great sign imo. Hopefully the album has more buzz. All good points! I seriously would be annoyed if Ivy Park is involved with this album release.

Nope, I want 90% of the album to be a surprise. I also think that stan streams don't necessarily corrolate with what the GP will eat up. All the stans loved End of Time/countdown but Love on Top demolished and will be the biggest single from the era when all is said and done. Edited July 11, 2022 by Otter
abeille Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 At this point would anyone (besides chart hive) even complain about a leak
Otter Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 "In what might be her most ambitious musical project to date, the culture-shifting, Grammy-dominating Queen Bee of all she surveys has trained her considerable artillery on America’s musical soundscape of the late 20th century. Do I need to add there is also a little mystery at play" All that i know is that there is a lot more to this album than we're aware off and so I donk think 500k+ is out of the question

Imagine if songs from ST/Lemonsde leaked weeks in advance. When are leaks ever good? Probably only when its material we were never going to get m, like her version of REM or the gorgeous snippet of Donk Edited July 11, 2022 by Otter

Beyonce_runthis Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 the funniest thing about this HDD estimation is that in the past they actually underestimated her. BEYONCÉ & LEMONADE both pulled more than they estimated so it would def be weird if they overestimate her this time.
jane Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Not even Beyoncé would go completely silent before an album drops. Her silence means something for sure. I'm back to thinking she will drop a film on the same day and it will be on Netflix. She probably made Netflix execs sign a NDA lol.

Space&Time Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) I guess my thing is predictions at this stage are pointless. Consider: * EIL numbers * The Gift numbers * The landscape of less physical sales which she heavily benefits from * The fact that she is behind in the streaming universe due to withholding her projects until recently Flip Side: * Fresh start with billing as her first album in 6 years * Going more traditional with an announcement 6 weeks ahead of time * Organic hype in local and worldwide media * Organic and massive airplay Unknowns: * Actual promo plans prior to release * The nature of the Visual Components. How groundbreaking it is might eclipse lack of “promo” That prediction is just insider predictions based on internal data from some one connected to Columbia. HDD themselves don’t really have a grasp on real prediction until first day sales come in. we’ll have to wait and see what Beyoncé has up her sleeve. We know it’s something serious, just don’t know what. Edited July 11, 2022 by Space&Time

Starshine Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Old ass Hive better pull through and buy those physicals. I know some of y'all mid 30s-40s have not transitioned to streaming.

jane Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 There's an entire generation that grew up with Bey that do both streaming and CDs and i'm in that group. It will depend if people feel like it's worth it or not and that's where a little bit of promotion, talking to the public a bit can help but after even Adele couldn't sell that many CDs this year, let's not hope for the impossible.

jane Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 If this was her big plan, Lizzo just beat her to it: lizzobeeating I’m not a star…. I’m a whole damn Universe! New York City….

Register for this once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event brought to you by @americanexpress ? where YOU can experience my new album ‘SPECIAL’ in my intergalactic universe ALL WEEKEND LONG at Cipriani 25.

Link in bio, baby? 6 h Now that someone is doing it officially, it all sound so basic sorry. Hope that was not Beyoncé's secret plan.
Starshine Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 I forgot her side projects didn’t have a physical release so it’s even harder to predict her sales. I know her old ass stans love physicals, sort of like Adele’s demographic of soccer moms that will go out of their merry way straight to Target. I’ve underestimated her twice already with self-titled and Lemonade, I hope I’m wrong again.
