If you were suddenly missing a quarter of your paycheck you wouldn’t consider those numbers identical  

odd and unjustified comparison but okay.

 

OT:  why are we comparing these songs? it's so strange. a #2 debut is great, and the song is good too. great WW numbers

No one is here for Bey's music in 2022. She doesnt have the straight pull like Rih

Just finished my psychic conversations with both Bey and Gaga... they aren't happy with y'all. not at all. Spoke to Miss Carter first. It was a very brief conversation (I'm on the east coast and she in LA.. it's hard to establish a mental connection for long), but I quickly congratulated her on her new baby and on the new song. Told I'm happy to see her recording fun happy music again. Jay is treating you right, I hope. When I said this, she sent me a sense of calm all through my body; so I can confirm she and Jay are in a good place. I also mentioned that the online fan communities are fighting with each other over this song and comparing it to other songs. When I said this, she sent me migraine. I then heard a faint "Enjoy the music... enjoy life." So she does not agree with all the fighting and stats comparing. I left it at that (i dont want to make Beyonce moody.. god forbid she re-writes Renessiance into another boring 'i'm a queen' album). we need bops. so i said 'ok beyonce, thank you for letting me talk to you' and that was that.

 

I felt the need to contact Gaga as well, (to check up on her health, congratulate her on Hold My Hand, and let her know what the fan communities were also up to). I closed my eyes and focused on 'Gaga... Gaga...Gaga'. Before I knew it, I could hear "hElLpPpP mEEeEe NeEeEeDd MeEeEEeE" statically. I made a connection. congratulated her on Hold My Hand. she said thank you and she cant wait for whats to come. Her health is good. She sent me a feeling of calmness when I asked her. (Sometimes they respond vocally and other times physically). I let her know that people were comparing Stupid Love to Beyonces new single. She sent me a cold shudder. Then i heard a faint.. "Bey.. my friend.. mny friend". So she is not happy about the comparisons. I wanted to ask her about the rumored collab but the signal was dying out. I said bye, and that was that.

 

So there you have it ATRL. Your faves do NOT want you fighting. they want you to just enjoy the music

Who the hell asked you? If you're bothered, ignore my post, it wasn't supposed to be any interaction with you  

 

 

But who would expect Avril to debut with like 4M in 2022 though?  

The artists you're naming have no fanbases, I didn't expect them to debut with higher numbers than Beyoncé and you're probably aren't surprised yourself. 

You would not expect Avril doing 4M but expect B to do so after TG and EIL? Are you saying B after 25 years are expected to do Billies and Olivia's numbers? Where's the logic? I know she has the hype and all that but you wouldn't expect Madonna to do that number simply because she was an artist from the 80s and it's not realistic to do such numbers. 

 

Edit: this site swear B is irrelevant in 2022 and there is no hype for B7 and yet expected much from her.

Troll better, because this song is smashing globally and proving trolls like yourself have been lying about Beyoncé for far too long. Stay mad.

Now that Taylor and Puth are both releasing, I wonder how this will hold up. Kate Bush and Morgan Wallen are also gaining on itunes. Drake's and Bad Bunny's hold on AM and Spotify are impressive.

 

#2 now on itunes.

OT: Wondering what her number will be on Day 3.

The way the numbers are going to skyrocket on Friday once everyone releases their job for the weekend, oh I know the Monsters are going to be furious

 

And if they dont will you be able to take the numbers in?

[brenda-walsh]

the fact that every BMS/ Renaissance thread from now on will be hijacked into comparing SL/ Chromatica

 

monsters truly are one of a kind

yes i think most hive are content with numbers so far considering Bey's last hit from an album of hers was DrIL. we honestly just want upbeat dance songs that she'll promote

I am sensing otherwise tho... I feel like everyone is just assuming its gonna blow up and do incredible numbers... but no one is saying that the hype could go away and not go further.

mmm not really, if you go on the BMS thread everyone is happy that numbers are stable. i think also because the radio numbers so far are well that's an indication it will be a good sized hit, especially since radio hasn't played her since the 2000's

Whats not clicking on this forum that Bey is a MOTHER of 3(!!) kids and in her 40s and black, yet so many have the urge to come for her, compare her to white single girls who are in their 20s/30s and who havent been in the industry half as long as Bey. 

 

But hey, I guess thats the ultimate compliment. 

Bey is doing great!

Most of us were expecting a much lower debut, and like half of the forum is calling it a flop, I don't think anyone is assuming it'll blow up.  Most of the actual Beyonce fans are really happy with the numbers, and performance so far. 

[zzmyth]

Happy to see you are feet on the ground with this.

 

To make a hit its more than just first week, and that's what I mean. Nothing else.

 

Anyway... lets see how it holds up and if it can keep up the momentum

Hmmm the thread is full of people calling it a flop. 

Few people being optimistic is not "everyone".

Pop radio. Urban and rhythmic radio have always played her.
