swissman Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 I know what it is to want the video NOW. But the comments saying they are flubbing the release or don't know what they're doing seem off. The point of this rollout seems to be that she is NOT doing the all-at-once drop. The intent seems to be about organic interest (removing profile pictures, announcing via bios that don't notify anyone of their having been updated, simple posts to confirm the single is out, etc.). It does make sense to let the song grow and become naturally desired by listeners before dropping the video to double down on their intereest while engaging all the people who had not yet gotten into it, etc. It hasn't even been a week. I can see it coming Tuesday at the earliest. I'll welcome it before though ;)
Destiny Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Maybe the video is coming next Friday to impact the following week’s Hot 100 placement. They might be aiming at a BET performance as ‘promo’ for this week. When is she being announced as a performer though?
Daydream Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 At 4:38 and 4:24 respectively, Bey and Taylor have the longest songs in the top 15 of Spotify's NMF. Hopefully they're just ahead of the curve and more artists will go back to making proper length songs instead of "songs" that should probably be called interludes.
Starshine Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 50 million views on TikTok now with the BMS hashtag. It grows like 10+million a day.

Musicmajor Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Holy cow, the radio update is insane! Her POWER. Where do we think it's going to debut on the hot 100?

Lovett Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 #21 in the UK! Her first solo top 25 here since "Hold Up" in 2016!
satellites.™ Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 I imagine we missed many top 10 debuts, but next week or the following week for sure.

I'll welcome it before though ;) my bet is they'll maximize the 'BEYONCE just DROPPED' hype and momentum and try to make it last till next Friday and probably drop the MV next week Friday so that its a whole new tracking week that benefits from the MV and the most likely iconic viral TikTokkery black magic that comes with anything miss Knowles touches!
CaptainMusic Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Added to the A-List on Radio 1 in the UK This is really impressive as they became very ageist in the 2010s and stopped playing artists like Kylie, Madonna, and refused to even play Robbie Williams’s #1 hit because they considered him too old/irrelevant So this is nice to see.
Ger Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Not final predictions yet, but could debut at #17 in the U.S.

swissman Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) if that prediction is to believed, that means with 3 days she might've been close to a Top Ten debut had Drake not released his album. Edited June 24, 2022 by swissman
PopFan1996 Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 This is definitely going top 10 next week on the Hot 100 and possibly top 5!

She would have definitely debuted within the top ten with a full tracking week. Coming for top 10 next week!

BeyIridescent Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Not trying to make light of the Roe vs. Wade situation but this song can serve as the anthem really
iiswhoiis_max Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Ok, I'm sorry after a day not listening to the song I tried again... I cant replay the song anymore. The constant noise from the sample is driving me crazy. The song is dead for me :( Release something new fast please T.T
