She's really seeing a great uplift on Spotify recently. So many of her bigger hits having their biggest days ever. Also seems to be spreading beyond her discography. Say my name, Bonnie and Clyde also had their biggest days yesterday.

Wow it all sounds fantastic. I went straight to Green Light and Amor Gitano as they're my faves and I'm far from disappointed. resentment and irreplaceable sound better. I still need to listen to the rest. can I watch you doesn't stand out after first listen but it's enjoyable nonetheless. I get Black is King vibes from the opening vocals. I can't fully pinpoint it but I think it's the bit where they're levitating up through the tunnel. Loving Cuerpo. That's a bop.

5 mil isn't far off Homecomings debut though? first day could still be pretty reasonable, with a huge drop on day 2 if nothing new or surprising happens. Bday is already pulling 1.5, so while id expect some of that to shift to the new release, the hits should also see an increase. The "new" unreleased tracks should draw some attention, Donk should get a nice boost and the big outlier is let me watch you. If it's an interlude then never mind but if it's something they actually push with playlisting could do okay.

twitter hive are being a little delusional as per. I've seen people saying this could pull renaissance streaming numbers because of the track count and others already talking about a number 1. there are way too many variables at play. A cute top 10 would be a great result. it's her first real foray into an anniversary rerelease so we have nothing to compare it to. My guess would be closer to homecomings numbers. only the standard vinyl is shipping first week and the inventory obviously won't be anything like her main studio albums. we also don't know what this project is yet. Is it simply old repackaged material in the same sound quality? Remastered? New versions? Or something more typical of a Beyoncé surprise. The whole thing is also weirdly timed.. why B'Day? Why now? Why does it line up perfectly with Jays show? Parkwoods campaign is surprisingly clearly working as bday just had its highest streaming day ever and the handling of Donk has been suspiciously good. Remixes, letting radio build in time for the release week. it all feels a little too coordinated for a simple anniversary rerelease but I've been doing this long enough to get my hopes up.

I've recently purchased my first home and I have a vinyl wall above my player with 9 shelves so this is perfectly timed for me as I have a spare spot and don't want to be wasteful and fill it with something that doesn't bring me joy. interesting to see all the discourse here. While I can appreciate the sentiment, I fear a lot of you would be better off taking or leaving this. You either see it as a bonus, with the potential for new material, better quality mixing and a surprise or two or you ignore it entirely and go about your day and maybe give the old version a stream or two. regarding the price it was about what I was expecting, especially considering what I said above, I've certainly noticed the inflation in vinyl pricing. For me I am happy to spend this amount on an artists I love and for a good quality collectible. side note, I'm still pissed that my Renaissance limited edition vinyl never shipped (despite ordering within seconds of the pre order links appearing). Beyoncé.com will never be forgiven for that.

Bey always knows how to do a proper remix. Id say it is not on AHAP, Cuff it wetter remix or Texas pony up level but I enjoyed nonetheless. Probably due to me not liking the original as much as I like the other songs.
