It's absolutely delusional to expect a surprise drop in the year 2026. Her streaming units first week are impressive for how long she's been in the industry (over 200k for CC, would be 30-35% bigger now with the new formula), but she's heavily dependent on pure sales. Nobody buys digital albums anymore, that leaves fan-centric vinyl and CD sales as the main source of revenue for her. We would've heard whispers by now of the vinyl shipping to retailers.

When she did those transitions on Rennie from ITG -> COZY -> AS, from Energy -> BMS, from POS -> VG, from AHAP -> P/H, God was in the room with her

The number of people who actually believe act iii is coming Friday is

The 3 lemons, etc., probably isn't an accident. But I think it's more like when she posted that pic of the fan poster during MCSWT that said "Keep Calm Beyonce Makes Albums." AKA it's coming, relax. But she's not hinting at a surprise release.

Would she be hinting if it was a true surprise?

I still don't believe in a surprise release, but unless someone big is releasing, 200k+ would be enough to score a number one album right now, I think. Then releasing physicals later would give a boost.

I've been listening to Rennie a lot recently. I think it's her best album

baby it's not going to be that kind of rock

Oh I-

It was wishful thinking tbh

Renaissance was her Magnum Opus and that's why I will continue to unfortunately stand beside her and Yvette's antics.

Hope they choke on that beverage

we are really counting lemon slices in drinks to guess when the album is coming?

I don't B would have trust to drop hints via companies she owns.

my mom calling me at work to tell me she just heard "the awful beyoncé jolene version" at the supermarket

Just three weeks ago, we thought we were on the precipice of a new era, and now there's nothing.

Imagine if it's EIL 2.0

I'd 100% be sat for it, though

at this point we got to throw out all "easter eggs". They NEVER amount to anything, and it's making us (I'm excluded since I never believe in them) look worse than Swifties (at least their eggs seem to hatch into something)

Its only making Beyonce look worse for hating her fans

What if we're all just in active psychosis and Beyonce is just a concept, and not a real person? What if none of this exists?

She better not pull some European residency nonsense with the next tour to cut costs like a lot of her peers do recently
