But who is this person? And how they know this??

I love Bey but I really wish she'd hop off the ''singles arent important'' trope. This era has been fantastic in a lot of ways but the singles have been mishandled. They knew damn well Church Girl wouldn't do anything... singles help keep ur album afloat and do wonders for longevity. It's a little frustrating

Yep, the majority of casual listeners don't listen to albums, especially not initially, singles increase the chance that they actually peep the full thing. 

TBH no era should exist without 3 full blown singles.

hearing church girl on HOT97 last night on my way home :deadbanana2: the singles are all over the place

I’m so hardwired to associate vocals of artists like Charli XCX with hyperpop tracks like All Up In Your Mind I had to check myself and try and give Bey a chance upon repeated listens. I still can’t help but feel like I’d prefer a different vocal aesthetic and based on what I’ve read and seen I’m not the only one.

 

There’s a lot to unpack here in terms of pop politics but after watching dozens of reviews I have noticed that other than black gay men and black lesbians a lot of black reviewers have picked it as their least favorite track and a lot of white reviewers (that aren’t just gay) and are audiophiles have instantly made Charli and Sophie references. This is all anecdotal, but I’ve taken in enough reviews (written and video) now on that track to draw some loose conclusions.

 

The discourse from some of the Hive I’ve read online immediately pouncing on anyone that’s implied they’d prefer someone else with “black people can do hyperpop too omgz11!11” has been really…unhealthy. Again, just a few, no broad brush, but it gets outsized attention.

 

In their (and my) defense I’d also be fascinated to hear it sung from someone like Santigold.

 

Also can’t help but wish Bey did lean into the political on America Has a Problem as opposed to shifting gears straight into the mafia don metaphors. Maybe that’s for the next series installment.

 

I realize it’s a damned if she does damned if she doesn’t scenario in terms of the usual thinkpieces she’d get in response similar to the reasons why she doesn’t really do interviews anymore but that’s a separate conversation.

 

Lots more to say later but that’s what’s front of mind for me.

I’m white and have been a Charli and SOPHIE stan since the start of their careers, but I’ve consistently loved and respected Beyoncé since… Irreplaceable? I was 9 years old, lol. The first artist I ‘stanned’ was Gaga, but I never let their post-Telephone fan tension get in the way of loving Bey. My period of traditional ‘stanning’ faded by like, tenth grade.
 

I’m 25 now and generally listen to everyone. My favorite albums of all time are Blackout, The Fame Monster, Pop 2, Norman ******* Rockwell, and Renaissance. 
 

I think All Up is fantastic, no notes.
 

It’s top five, easily, along with Alien Superstar, Virgo’s Groove, Heated, and America Has A Problem. Btw, I think she brilliantly hoodwinked us with that song title. It’s a celebration of love :heart:

Only with 0 effort on Beys part compared to Madonna :rip:

She's been pulling around 7 milli daily consistently for over a month.  The album is super stable.

This is the only female album in the whole top 30 on Apple Music. That’s really sad

 

She’s number 3 by the way

Good hold.

I want her to go back to #2 or #3 at least. There were a few débuts each week that push her down. I hope CDs and vinyls can bump her up and give her steady pure sales.

That was 17 years ago...media and marketing has changed so much. It's actually brilliant to let the MUSIC speak and it's screaming louder than ever tbh :jonny5:
