IBeMe Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Cowboy Carter remains the better album imo. I just hate how Bey has been treating these latest records. It's wild to me she hasnt done a single thing for them aside from touring. Hopefully Bodyguard or something take off to help the album....it would be such a pitty if this album doesnt do well long term because of her not doing a thing to help the record 3
Yes, AND Posted June 16 Posted June 16 The whole acts thing was a mistake also. There was no reason to link Renaissance to this, especially as there was almost two whole years between them.
Yes, AND Posted June 16 Posted June 16 5 hours ago, NoAngelus said: It's doing worse in UK because top 2 most streamed songs from the album are removed for chart points. If you remove 2 of the most streamed songs from US SPS it would plummet too. not removed, downweighted. Also, that rule is the same for every album but they are not plummeting like CC
Pinkbutterflies Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Also I think her releasing so often hurt her too. Bey just isn't the type of artists people can tolerate on the radio for more than one year at a time. Between lemonade and ren, there was a huge time gap, so she had the hype. But, CC was released 1.5 years after and so people don't want to hear her voice and hence the flopping. 1 2 8
Superbitch Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Well Rena is a really good and fun pop album. really good songs and bey letting her hair down and enjoying herself. CC feels like a let me make a country album to see if they finally give me AOTY at the Grammys(she even says it in a song). rena>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

People are obviously not connecting to CC and that might have to do with a lot of factors, it's not because the quality isn't there. Interesting perspective!
jezebelvictoria Posted June 16 Posted June 16 I'm just ready for this cosplay era to over and bring on actiii. Sadly I'm sure it's not coming until 2026. 1 1

Karla Cabello Posted June 16 Posted June 16 i replayed rena non-stop for a year while i listened to cowboy carter once and never touched it again. rena is just so fun and clever, a masterpiece if you ask me. cowboy feels like a vanity project 4
QueenB Posted June 16 Posted June 16 there's no reason to keep coming back to this era, she completely disappeared and left it to die. Renaissance at least had an upcoming tour, plus it's a much easier listen, no one will put on 'Protector' for fun, whereas you could put any Ren track on and it'll be a good time
dman4life Posted June 16 Posted June 16 It really is a great album but it simply doesn't have the replay value of Renaissance. That's pretty much it because the quality is definitely there. 2 2
StayFrosty Posted June 16 Posted June 16 I secretly hope they give her AOTY already so she can go back to making good music and not awards bait noise.
Soda Pop Queen Posted June 16 Posted June 16 (edited) lol y'all are so overdramatic. The album is doing decently well, all things considered. This album was not gonna find a wide audience immediately because a lot of the people that use Beyoncé don't like Country or even anything that remotely sounds like Country-fusion and most of the people that actually use Country hate her guts. This album is mainly only appreciated by the musicial aficianados for now. iykyk. Everyone else will catch up in a few years' time. I suspect the same thing is gonna happen with Act lll. That's 1 more reason she switched the order of the albums around and why Renaissance, the most palatable/accessible for her audience and casual pop music listeners went first. 'Texas Hold 'Em' performing like it did/is doing is quite an uncharted feat. You can't really understate that. Edited June 16 by Soda Pop Queen 2 2

FrederickGa Posted June 16 Posted June 16 8 hours ago, CaptainMusic said: A Gaga stan calling Renaissance a flop, the nerve - Anyway, the better album won but CC did fine for what it is and scored a solo global hit which some female artists haven't had since 2013. Isnt Ren just barely above Chromatica? If Chromatica was a FLOP, then REN is just above FLOP, Underperformance at BEST and CC is doing the WORST of em, so the FLOPPIEST?? O.T - it's just Beyonce proving once again that she's mostly smoke and mirrors.. her name is BIG but her materials aint just getting consumed like the media made it look like 6

pieuxvu Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Renaissance has a succesfull 2nd single ( Cuff It), Cc has none
eclipsed Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Its not a bad album, it just didn't stick for me I might have even thought it was better than Renaissance on first listen but now I would never say that. I guess I just prefer dance music. But tbf a lot of albums have come this year and so far only a few have stuck. I've been enjoying Brat, Chappell even tho that was last year I discovered it this year and Eternal Sunshine for the most part. They need to bring back proper eras because I feel its more than just the music that keeps you coming back.
Starkboy Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Damn I know it's what she deserves but how are numbers so low when 'Texas Hold Em' is still pulling decent numbers? not like she gives a ****...
Doogle Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Because she abandoned it and it's not as good as Renny, nor does it have anything viral to keep it afloat. idk what she's playing at but it's what she deserves 1
dirrtydiana Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Sometimes that's the pattern things take. Act 3 will probably do worse than cc 1
