FSXP Posted March 24 Posted March 24 (edited) 50 minutes ago, Lose My Breath said: I'm so curious about the behind the scenes of this, like what is happening?! If I had to guess, it's probably legalities. UMG likely want to remove it, but they probably do not have complete jurisdiction. Based upon their website, Raphael Saadiq is the only person on the song involved with them under their publishing, but he's only a composer on the song. Based upon the amount of control Beyoncé has around her music, I have to assume it's really difficult to argue that they can remove it based on one person and that role. The removal today could have been a glitch or an oversight. If not, it's also likely that Beyoncé and her team have the upper hand since it came back so quick. In that case, UMG probably know they can't remove TXHE in the same capacity as the other music cause of Beyoncé, the circumstances of the song and the amount of power she has over her music.

SoundsandSongs Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Texas being back on tiktok gives great hope for future singles. Cuff It was helped immensely by Tiktok. Cowboy Carter will likely go viral on tiktok.
Negiiiii Posted March 24 Posted March 24 We have to be honest and yes, TikTok has been a HUGE advantage for us. It really made Renaissance last thanks to the Cuff It challenge and I wouldn't even imagine how this era would have started if Texas hadn't smashed on TikTok… if she does nothing like Renaissance, the only thing we have to do is to wait for our next single to be picked up by TikTok mafia basically. 1

We also have to remember, even if Tiktok is banned in USA it is still big in many countries which are unlikely to ban tiktok. It's a great tool for global promo. This is especially important because country is traditionally local to USA. I think tiktok helped launch Texas outside of USA which is why it's very global. Edited March 24 by SoundsandSongs

Is there a SERIOUS threat of the app being banned there? Like is it REALLY something that can happen ? Or it's just making noice but will likely lead to nothing. I cannot believe something like that can happen as someone based in Paris so I'm just wondering

There's no way young Americans are going to sit by and be oblivious to what the rest of the world are dancing/singing to. Compilations of tiktok songs are also popular on platforms like Youtube.
Negiiiii Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Yes and even in stores. Like playlists in big stores in Paris are mostly TikTok songs I hear all day on my feed. It truly has an impact so I'm glad we got its help for Texas.

Feels like they're trying to force it to be sold to a US developer but both parties know there would be a Gen Z revolt lol
Negiiiii Posted March 24 Posted March 24 By the way I took a screenshot of Texas' number when it got back on TikTok today for the numbers. Next update will be the 24h one tomorrow but end of the day this time (Paris time) as it got back on TikTok later today. It got pulled less than a whole day so I'm 100% sure it shouldn't have an impact ! 1
SoundsandSongs Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Texas Hold' Em's Global Top 10 Peaks (thus far): USA - #1 (2 weeks) UK - #1 (4 weeks) Canada - #1 (2 weeks) Iceland - #1 (1 week) Ireland - #1 (3 weeks) Netherlands - #1 (1 week) New Zealand - #1 (3 weeks) Australia- #2 Austria - #2 Belgium - #2 Croatia - #2 Japan (International Chart) - #2 Sweden - #2 Switzerland - #2 Denmark - #3 Germany - #4 Luxembourg - #4 Norway - #4 France - #9 South Africa - #10 Top 10 in Europe, Oceania, Africa, Asia and North America. Not bad for a local houston girl. 5 1
SoundsandSongs Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Global Artist Charts #40 -3 It's actually ok for Sunday. Kendrick jumped 22 spots and Shakira and Hozier are still above her due to new releases (they're usually below Bey on artist chart). Without new releases from Shakira, Hozier and Kendrick Bey would be at #37. Last Sunday Bey was #37 too so I expect 3.4m-3.5m today.

Not bad for a local houston girl. I wouldnt say Top10 in Asia because its just a sub-chart excluding all the local artists. Shes performing great compared to other westerners tho in Japan lol 12 minutes ago, SoundsandSongs said: Global Artist Charts #40 -3 It's actually ok for Sunday.

True, but at the same time shes continuously losing a few positions compared to the week before. So the album drop couldnt happen at a better time
ALΞX Posted March 25 Posted March 25 She wouldn't need tiktok if she was just not lazy and released visuals.
SoundsandSongs Posted March 25 Posted March 25 2 minutes ago, ALΞX said: She wouldn't need tiktok if she was just not lazy and released visuals. We need both lol. Beyonce's first visual for a studio album since 2016 x Tiktok? That's a guaranteed viral smash. Tiktok is one of the best WW promo tools now.

Cbreezy Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Would love to know the backstory about its on/of/on-again presence on TikTok beyond the UMG thing. Have kinda told myself it's probably a case of it initially being removed as part of the UMG drama and its return being a special exception. Maybe a UMG writer on the track can manually agree to waive whatever rights that are causing the broader issue with UMG on TikTok. Could totally see Team Bey making it worth their while ($$$) in a roundabout way given what's at stake (the song's exposure heading into album release). Total conjecture, but it's so odd that it seems to be the only song (?) having this on-off again trajectory.
rnb Posted March 25 Posted March 25 i have actively not been playing this just so it sounds fresh when the album comes out on friday
