I would also add that B'Day has been performing well on streaming platforms (or better than expected). It might not have been the main cause, but it could have contributed to some degree.

I'd like to think the resurgence of B'Day began when attention suddenly increased on BBCs 15-year old upload of "Irreplaceable" (with insane crowd participation) from Glastonbury a few years ago.

"Alright my fellas, y'all gotta put some bass in your voice now c'mon!" gets me every time

I'm not mad at getting more content and official releases of previously unreleased music. I'm actually thrilled as to what this could mean for IASF and 4 that were never officially pressed on vinyl.

Of course I'm anticipating Act 3 hard but she should've been doing anniversary releases. It always seemed odd to me that she avoided doing big anniversary releases since her legacy is so abundant and should be celebrated.

it's kinda sad how we get so little that half the things we can talk about have to be delusions made out of thin air

Uhm 🧐

The way people are trying to say Dolly Parton sang the viral part of the Tyrant opener. They are obsessed with loving Beyoncés voice but not giving her credit.

I was listening to that song constantly back in 2009 or 2010. What was she thinking when she excluded it and included a song like Videophone?

Control is one of her best songs. Its welcome whenever it finally arrives 🥹

We're a generation of people who are made to feel guilty about indulging in the smallest of luxuries like buying tomatoes on the vine or nice olive oil because the economy is so brutal and some of you are spending that time venerating late stage capitalism and inflation and dismissing people who are sad they can't afford a record?

What exactly do you want us to do about this?

Do You want us to storm Beyoncé's house? Or drive to blue ivy's school?

What exactly do you want?

DON'T BUY THE VINYL IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT🗣️ T

If anything... it should've replaced Billy Joel cover "Honesty" on the Platinum Edition. I love that she reunited with Scott Storch and it took on a life of its own in the Korean market, but that was a baffling move with "Control," "Stop Sign," "Waiting," "Forever To Bleed," "Slow Love," and "I'm Alone Now" right there.

What I love is the controversy will start and then a historian will appear, explaining Asian trade routes and the subsequent Asian migration to the South (when California became unwelcoming), the Southern Indigenous roots (red bones), the African/Caribbean roots via Chattel Slavery (brown bones), and the French/Arcadian/White-settler mixed roots (yellow bones or "high color") of current Creole culture.

I for one love when people publicly tell us they have no knowledge and made no effort to research something in real-time.

You know what... if it can take the song to Platinum and 300M streams like "Alien Superstar"? I'll accept it. Let them speculate.

I can't be bothered to be upset over any of this tbh, I'm giving her the same energy she's giving us. We're at a idgaf war stand-still. I can say I'm happy that Bday is being re-introduced to gen z hive and Bday does deserve to get its recognition from the gp. Will they care is a topic for another time but it's the thought that counts. Calling it a thought is a little too gracious… it's the random neuron shock that counts

The outrage isn't only reserved for Bey, though. I've said multiple times that this is a problem across all artists... The fact that these prices are considered "regular prices" is precisely the problem. We should hold our faves accountable for these extortionate prices, rather than attacking fans who find them unacceptable.

there is a 45 dollars version with less content

the way that cover was released first in some destinys child japan exclusive album

Love all the hive posting tv spots, commercials, websites, and phone promotions

Beyoncé's Jolene was shown and featured in the Dolly Parton on tonight's CBS prime time special. I know them white folks mad!

If anyone is looking for something informative and interesting to watch as we continue to wait for this alleged "rock" era, 20 Ft From Stardom was a good watch - centers around the black women who sang the backing vocals to the great rock acts of the 60s 70s and so on. The "Gimme Shelter" scenes specifically with Merry Clayton felt like something Bey would obsess over.

When she's on her alt account do you think she types her first name with the accent every time? If she's forced to type on a windows keyboard does she know the alt code to type the e with an accent?

autocorrect automatically adds the accent. So she doesn't have to. That's how famous she is
