If she puts in a shocking move by releasing a film the same night then yes her streams will explode. 

 

If she keeps being silent like right now and wants her work to speak for itself then her numbers will grow but slowly and steady. I still think the album will do very well streaming wise and i also think radio will support her this time around.

We know there were 30k limited edition vinyls. Those are sold out. Lets conservatively estimate each pose had 10k. Those are sold out.

 

She's already done 70k

That’s worldwide though. 

But they're all from her US store, so i think it counts towards her US sales only. I could be wrong, tho

She has pre-orders of physical copies on Target, Amazon and Walmart and we know she's a best seller on Amazon (I ordered my physical copy there)  already. Sold out on vinyls and Merch. I dont think we need to worry much, she will do alright.

If every person she has ever wished a happy birthday on her website buys a copy, she’ll do 1M at least 

 

Maybe those birthday posts aren’t looking so shabby now. Post away Mrs. Hallmark! 

With those shipping prices I'd say its safe to assume most the purchases were from the US

She was best seller for a genre specific chart for Amazon though I think. Either way your point still stands. Even with minimal numbers from these retailers they will add up nicely with her website orders.

Literally me at 11pm on Thurs night, high af and ready to hear Alien Superstar.

 

When Alien Superstar turns out to be the worst song on the album

 

What yall think Alien Superstar is about?

Yall does anyone know if the album is coming at 12AM ET or PT? When Bey posted the countdown on IG it ended at 3AM ET, but the one Parkwood posted the next day ended at 12AM ET. I’m stressed!!!! 

I need something to hold me over till Friday. This is gonna be such a long a** week and the heat doesn’t help

Maybe its a fun lil song about how people treat her like she's not a human since she's so famous.

 

Hopefully in a self-referential winking way and not in a woe is me way

I couldn’t enter this thread for half of the day I was swamped with 503 errors, I thought Bey posted a fart video it was ridiculous how slow it was today

If you on mobile switch browsers sometimes help.

Now what kinda crack is her label smoking thinking she'll do 3 mill in 3 months and 600k first week. Maybe with an Amazon $1 deal, let's cut these expectations in half.

A viral fart video on TikTok, she's just like us fr. A new relatable image with the GP. Goddess Queen no more. 

 

 

It might sound silly to say but I do gage some of the excitement based off tik tok (which a lot of mainstream stuff comes from now) and there hasn’t been that much engagement. When Taylor/Adele were releasing I saw so many videos dissecting lyrics/video, or just vibing to the song on my for you page. I haven’t seen much with Bey, at least not as much as I would like to see. Even Nicki gets lots of viral video likes for her past songs. 
 

Am I on the wrong side?

no because I have shown enough bey interest to the algorithm and still nothing on my page either 

I can see multiple tracks going viral on Tik Tok.

What is there to dissect  

Not some of y'all predicting 200K  she's definitely doing better than Kendrick (295K) who does not have physical copies, he sold 35K albums. (Mind you, TG did 11K and Homecoming did 14K with 4 days digital sales alone). B also currently had smash and radio support and possibly video. 

Anything 200K-450K sounds realistic imo.

I've seen more hype and discourse for Bey projects only for them to not sell what they should. 

 

The detractors tried to get multiple controversies started and fortunately failed cause there wasn't enough engagement for them gain clout from. They decided to ease off and stop bringing as much attention to the era in hopes that it flops. 

 

I rather people enjoy Beys music organically over her being considered overrated and exposed. 

Out of 16 songs how many would you be okay with disliking? 2? 4? Anytime I keep half an album it’s a success for me but I’m hoping I use at least 12 from this one.
