humbz Posted March 22 Posted March 22 im so excited and apprehensive cause country is far from an enjoyable sound for me (except when there's a twist like kacey's star-crossed, I really like this record) but still i trust her. let's wait and see.

Matangi Posted March 22 Posted March 22 7 hours ago, Lovett said: 332k. Bey's never done less than 300k with a studio album. And theres a first time for everything. Dropping pre-orders for her own store only, two weeks before release...definitely an interesting strategy.
Funnyfatty Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I thought Britney blocked me for a second. is there a collab?
Attaboy Posted March 22 Posted March 22 The extra wait time for the tracklist does seem intentional. When was the Reni tracklist revealed before the release?

PaloSanto Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I think the tracklist is being kept from us cause the collabs will be a gag Hopefully she posts it monday/tuesday. tho at this point I wouldnt even blink if it's kept hidden til friday 1
BOAZ Posted March 22 Posted March 22 she should reveal the track titles on tuesday and leave the collaborations and features as a surprise for friday 4
Machete Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Cupcake Hive don't open: Spoiler TBH the physicals aren't selling as they should, even if this outsells Renaissance on pure (which isn't a certainty as of now) it should be doing much more than it considering it has WAYYY more physical offering. Opening up the pre-orders so late and then not having the artwork ready when you do was a misstep. They should move forward and really ramp up the hype this week. I would do a tracklist reveal today or tomorrow. 1 2 1

It would be good if she posted it on monday/tuesday too but i fear she wants the tracklist to be a surprise

Please read the "Cupcake Hive do not open" disclaimer next time How am I "doubting" by using stats we can clearly see of the physicals selling slow? These are promoted as "limited" which is supposed to lead to quick selling out but so far not a single one of them is even close to that. All I'm suggesting is for them to build more hype right now. For instance, she is definitely going to reveal the tracklist before release but instead of waiting until 2-3 days before the album like people were suggesting on the last page, do it now to generate a WEEK of discourse and anticipation, thus fuelling sales throughout that time.

That's a lot of sales lost
PrettyHurts Posted March 22 Posted March 22 if she's not going to reveal the tracklist she should at least make the preoder available digitally so we can see the amount of tracks like she did with renaissance she did nothing yesterday, gurl hurry up 1
Flanders Posted March 22 Posted March 22 (edited) It could be that the strategy is to create a lot of hype Just when the album comes out, like she did with self titled and lemonade, it worked out quite well those times Edited March 22 by Flanders 1

Thank you! Seriously, why are y'all downvoting @Machete's posts? None of what they are saying is negative. It's the literal, see-it-for-yourself facts. The numbers are right there on @Lose My Breath's posts That's not to say things won't pick up with more reveals. But, as of now, the sales aren't terrible...but they are slow relative to the amounts available. I sometimes think we don't realize the power of our collective voice by telling it as it is. Make enough noise and her team are more likely to do the things to shift the vinyls quicker. Having blind belief in her selling just "because she's Beyonce" is setting y'all selves up for the rudest awakening when those Hits Daily Double predictions come in weekend of release, if things don't change. I refuse to believe those downvoting will be kumbaya'ing if she comes in at 150k first week. It, of course, won't be the end of the world, but 150k with all the variants and pre-order frame IS objectively bad and there is no way of spinning that as anything otherwise. All of this puts insane amounts of pressure on the album to deliver post-release; worry that would have been alleviated had sizeable sums been sold in the many weeks she had since announcing Act II. There is arguable logic to the 10-day countdown thing working as more a concentrated window for promo. But yeah, things need to...move. Edited March 22 by Cbreezy 6

Pretty sure CBreezy was talking about 150K pure sales, which would be bad considering Renaissance did 190K. The sales LoseMyBreath is posting is pretty legitimate iirc, but even if it's total BS (doubtful) you can still see the fact that none of the offerings have sold out yet, while all of Renaissance's boxes were sold out by this time. 1
UncleRandy Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Do you guys think she will release a collectors edition vinyl? like how she did with Renaissance with the standard cover, poster and a booklet?
