Think the biggest "problem" with the album was that it was too country, folksy for her fan base

And too experimental for country fans

So this is country r&b? southern r&b? r&c (rhythm and country)?

Time for her to do a Vegas residence

Who?

Beyoncé.
I forgot the é thingy

She and Taylor putting out albums this year while their previous albums and tours were still generating a lot of money has been really interesting to me. Both albums have underperformed by their standards but both albums have been woefully underpromoted by their standards. Beyonce basically announced before this album came out there wouldn't be a tour, and Taylor has just folded this new album into her ongoing on.

Weird all around. Feels like a sign of a big shift in the record industry. I can't think of any thing other than they just created "content" for the platforms.

To answer the thread - no she's absolutely not over. If anything - putting out this Beyonce album that's not a Beyonce album has just made people hungry for a Beyonce album, which is crazy given how big Part 1 was. The next album will have the videos, features, performances and sound and we'll probably be right back to business.

All in all, 2024 has been a weird exercise for pop music.

How exactly did Taylor Swifts album “underperform”? People just type anything.

Taylor Swift's album is still in the top 10 and did 43k this week.

Now tell me how many versions she's put out

It was the most pre-saved album of all time off of hype and every song raced up the charts as soon as it dropped, but none of them has stuck. People are listening to her records because she's still on tour and her show encompasses her entire discog. But this album has contributed nothing new for her.

This album is akin to Standing on the Shoulder of Giants by Oasis. The hype brought immediate success to a record that can't keep it up. A loud dud.

You do realize if Beyonce was touring her record, her fans would be listening to it right?

Fam...she announced the album during the Super Bowl.


She had a noteworthy director shoot an album promo on some Americana/Paris, Texas vibes. Levis got involved with some jeans collabs. There was a large campaign. It's ok to admit that once the allure of playing victim over country radio's reactions to the music faded, the (black) fans lost interest. Meanwhile the white girls she was targeting were focused on new Taylor Swift music. Then Shaboozey ended up with the real country hit record lol. I'm never gonna call it a failure or flop given that she's a legacy artist who still sells records but that album wasn't it. And that's now two albums in a row where a lot of her fans didn't get exactly what they wanted or expected. They keep expecting a SZA album, basically.

There were no videos and no promotion outside of the initial announcements and no follow up singles . That’s why the album seems like it had no legs. Same thing happened with Renaissance but TikTok saved it by making a couple of songs go viral

It’s not a flop because no one is suppose to be this relevant for this long. Streaming is the best thing to happen to the Beyoncé, drakes, future and Kanye’s of the world

If these artist had to make hit records that appeal to the audience that was consuming music videos and radio they would’ve fallen off years ago. With streaming all they have to do is keep delivering to their large stanbases

Country r&b , maybe.
