I wish an insider would come on here and clue us in on something. I don’t know how many survivors and rankings we can do. 

We really can't complain. We are getting something every few days. We got the album which is amazing, then the visualizer and the remixes, then the cliquebait thing, then the Madonna remix and its visualizer, then the I'm That Girl Teaser. We just got a collab with the Isley Brothers. It's only been two weeks since the album release... We know the visuals are coming, most likely this weekend. And if they are not released then, I'm sure we'll get something else. Break My Soul is still #1, rising almost one million a day in audience impressions and has a chance to be #1 again in the following two weeks.

 

And we still got two full ALBUMS coming.

 

Like, we CAN'T complain. And we don't need to know everything. Enjoy this era because we're not getting all of this again...

The next teaser needs to reveal the date and where to watch. If Netflix or HBO were involved, wouldn’t they be handling the teasers? Seems this is going to YouTube which ruins the flow and also has ads  

At Soho House in Berlin - BMS just came on…The. Room. Came. To. LIfe. This woman gives LIFE.

I'm really holding out for the visuals on the 20th rumour. 4 days before my birthday and I have a full week off to digest it all.

Also BMS is really that girl. Bey said to the charts, "when the queen come through, part like the red sea".

I really want her to strike while the irons hot with Alien Superstar. It is a tricky situation because BMS is still doing so well and though it feels like ages to us, most hit lead singles don't have a follow up as quick as we are hoping. Look at As It Was still stomping despite them moving onto the next single.

Either way I've switched sides on the Cuff it vs AS argument. If Alien Superstar becomes an even bigger viral hit it will only increase CI's potential as a follow up. As others have mentioned, CI can slay at anytime whereas getting AS to regain hype will be more of a challenge.

Remember when Bieber had his YouTube documentary series? Millions watched it. Maybe Beyoncé could do something like that but each episode showcases one song and behind the scenes of her talking about the album.

I would love this tbh.

Actually I love to see any content of her letting us into her world a bit more.

I love how Cuff It Hive is switching to AS now for 2nd single...I had the same epiphany also.

Chile, I’m not going to act like the 50 remixes and cliquebaits are supposed to suffice when the single has been out for over two months and the album is below 100k in the second week due to lack of promo, news and visuals. None of that is giving the album the attention it truly deserves. If you drag it out too long it won’t have the intended affect they wanted.

It's under 100k due to lack of physicals

 

you've been trying to give marketing advice this whole time...she got a #1 song & #1 album without listening to any of your bullshit. she'll be fine.

 

its the long haul...not everything out in 1 week. those remixes & cliquebaits is what has helped BMS be a multi-week #1.

You know what could have also helped a multi week number one? A video. The physicals won’t be out until middle of September which I don’t think will increase much. 

 

Y’all keep saying the long haul but then also say a visual release all in one As if that isn’t the definition of a short era. Just because they wait longer to release it doesn’t mean it won’t still have the one and doen affect after a week. The long haul is promo for the individual singles, pushing for a second single, etc

Well there's NO video & they STILL did it without one.  That's exactly the point. Your advice is NOT the end all & be all. 

 

You need to get back into a fan's place for your own mental health & just play your favorite songs like the rest of us are doing. stop trying to be a wannabe Parkwood exec so bad. It's giving "expert with no expertise" in addition to over-the-top cringe, obsession & desperation of it all.

 

Things will come out when they come out...you don't need to know the dates, you don't need to know the strategy beforehand. rest and click play.

I don’t think you came for me. I was just agreeing with you while also making the point that it was also what I (and others) have been saying about AS since the beginning lol

Oh my bad then. 

The memes this era have been top tier let me just say. Twitter has me crying every day

Netflix only lost 3M subscribers in the last 6 months. They still have over 220M subscribers. Putting the film on Netflix and the singles on YouTube (like Black Is King) would be the perfect scenario. And a Netflix exclusive is not the same as keeping Lemonade on Tidal for 3 years

Netflix and Youtube will always be my preference over HBO 

Thank god that phase is seemingly over.

At this point we should just trust Bey and her team and wait. People have been whining for weeks, me included, that she wouldn't get a #1 song this era because of the lack of videos and look, she stayed #1 for the second week. Obviously Parkwood have found a way to handle things now that can still benefit them on the charts. Beyoncé has said it many times now in her mag interviews that she wants to disrupt this dated industry. She is doing it steps by steps. She aint rushing visuals, she will release them only when SHE is ready. Many artists dont have this option in this industry where their artistry is rushed non stop because labels want the visuals released at the same time even if the artist is tired and wants time to think about the video concept. I also think she wants her visuals to not define her music anymore.

They did it without one? Girl they had to release a million remixes and clicks when it could have been done with one visual. They took the hard route unnecessarily. If they are planning to release a whole visual then just let us know that. 
 

  My life doesn’t change one way or another. I’m in a discussion thread expressing MY opinion. I’m not saying it is gospel, I just think the rollout is poor and could be handled better.

I haven’t seen HBO do anything with musicians in a while anyway. All the documentaries and concerts are going to either Netflix or PrimeVideo 

Edited August 15, 20224 yr by Blue Rose

HBO documentaries are top tier. 
 

Anyways, I’m kind of leaning more towards Netflix having a concert exclusive as opposed to a visual/movie. Everyone has access to YouTube
