simon Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 Everyone relax. No one was saying it’s in the millions we are just posting the realities.

Lets just pray theyve put a lot of boxes on sale but it was probably only 50K and also let’s remember that the shop was open worldwide so it could be only 10K from US and 40K for the rest of the world (just guessing but maybe localyoncé will come through) it would be smart to restock to boxes once the artworks are revealed.

Doogle Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 I am soooo excited for any contribution from Raphael Saadiq for real His work with Solange was everything and I’ve been so into Get Involved by him and Q-Tip this past few weeks. I would die for him to be involved with some upbeat summer R&B tinged song on the album. Even better if it’s dancey. I really hope he’s a main producer on something

Nope. No restocks. Just sell the standard cd, cassette, vinyl etc. set the precedence for future exclusives. You want in? Get in early!

But for all we know could be super limited and only like 5k-10k - she might be making these just for the fans that super wanted and was gonna support no matter what.
wren Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Also do we not think the cover is that picture she teased next to Brandy's 7? Or is that hand from a pic from something else?? Edited June 20, 2022 by wren

Adele’s 30 was pressed on vinyl 500k times and it stopped the entire vinyl sector from being able to produce anyone else’s music for half a year and there was news about it. I don’t think Bey has done anything similar

I don’t think Bey has done anything similar Exactly! Keep ur expectations lower Hive sistrens. We're living in a recession, Bey wont gamble this much and overproduce and people dont have that much money in general. Also, who'd buy surprise boxes aside from super fans? Id say each Box is going to have like 10-25k max. Thats about it
getBusy Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 So wait are the boxes just the cd, tshirt and poster, or do we think there’s some surprise content in them as well?
Kool_Aid_King Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 I can't see more than 25K per pose, but if that's the case that's still a guaranteed ~70K We're outselling EIL and LKTG

Cbreezy Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Maybe I'm being too cynical, but I'm not convinced there even is a fixed number of boxes lol. Stay with me... I think by creating the illusion of "going, going, gone", it generates more hype and ultimately more buys. I feel a staggered roll-out will go something like: * Maximize these box sales...which we're buying without even seeing! * Cover reveal...people will then rush to snap up other poses...either as collectibles or because they don't like what they blindly bought. * Vinyl reveal after they've squeezed all they can from CD sales, because let's face it...we'll all buy it again on vinyl. * Possibly more keep sake formats like cassettes...which would make a lot of sense with the album's retro feel. * Various retail versions...Target, Amazon etc. * In a way, streaming will be the last piece of the puzzle / hurdle to clear. But that battle is ultimately made easier in the grand scheme of her overall sales because they would have covered so much ground with the physicals. Make no mistake, I am TOTALLY here for it. Because at Chart Hive, I have long wished for her to play the hell out of the sales game. And she's doing all the things. It's clear Columbia is applying the learnings from the likes of BTS and Adele to the likes of Bey and Harry. Edited June 20, 2022 by Cbreezy

Till then, theres gonna be album pre-orders, hopefully vinyl pre-orders, etc.. just sit back and enjoy the ride. 48 minutes ago, Airhead said: Those Twitter fan pages don’t know ****. Precisely.
