God this is a depressing rollout.

Tbh the UK race is out of our hands. UK hive isn’t going to have any impact as this is a song for the GP. I think the song being back on tiktok will help with Spotify stability but it’s definitely going to be very close this week. We just have to hope that Benson doesn’t massively pull away on Spotify. Would be amazing for Bey to get a 4th week at #1 in the UK, the longest in her career. But I’m definitely not taking it for granted.

I’m genuinely baffled as to how this is supposed to be bad? Also, I wish some of you would stop trying to convince the rest of us that Yes, and? is a bad song when it’s actually really not.

UK hive need to mass buy Texas because it could really get a 4th week at #1, it’s really close. Just 7,000 streams between her and Benson on Spotify which I think is equal to like 7 sales lol.

Just listened to it another couple of times. It’s a good album, but I’m still not blown away. I will say the album is a pleasant surprise as I like it more than her previous albums, but it’s not something I’ll be listening to in a few weeks from now.

Are we surprised? This is a truly underwhelming rollout so far.

This is such a weird post lol. No one is trying to insert Beyoncé into anything? They literally just posted a tweet from Pop Crave and asked if it were true? I don’t see that as trying to insult Ariana. If anything, doesn’t it suggest she was inspired by Beyoncé? Wouldn’t be a surprise since she’s a massive fan.

What kind of person feels the need to come repeat the same thing again when they didn’t get the reaction they wanted the first time? It’s giving main character syndrome. No one cares what you think about the song, I promise you.

The album is good, it just hasn’t blown me away Will give it another few listens before I fully make my mind up.

Got an ad on Spotify for Texas I was shocked.

I mean, 5.1 million is still really impressive by any standards and I would define it as a smash. It’s doing much better and having more longevity than other releases by mainstream artists as of late.

Of course the song is going to decline on streaming after it’s been taken off tiktok. Anyone who said it wouldn’t make an impact was delusional if we’re being honest I think it will rebuild organically as people clearly love the song, but it’s evidently going to experience a decline initially.

150k debut would be underwhelming considering the success of Texas. There’s no reason she should be debuting with anything less than 300k considering her status. The only reason we are even considering a 150k debut is because of what has been an abysmal rollout thus far. Of course it won’t impact her career. She could debut with 20k and it wouldn’t negate what has already been a legendary career. I just think low numbers like that damage the perception of relevancy and longevity as annoying as it is.

Everyone catching up to her in the UK so 4 weeks at #1 looking like a stretch at this point It had over 100,000 more streams last Monday in the UK which is a significant drop. Tiktok does have a massive impact on the longevity of songs, unfortunately.

Are we obliged to agree with the potential reason(s)? Bey does a lot of stuff that doesn’t make any sense.
