They've updated her official site with a track listing for the vinyl. I just hope we don't have to wait til next year for the Cowboy Carter deluxe edition or whatever she will call it.

I can't decide whether to respond back to the store and be like... not that limited a run girl, it was the 4/12 wide release? Sigh.

Another full tour seems really excessive to me. If she does, I would guess next year? But then does act iii also get a tour? All seems a bit too much. RWT was massive. This album absolutely needs to be toured, however it is entirely unsustainable for her to do it now. How could she do that and then just leave act iii in the dust? And there’s no way you can tell me she can embark on three such major tours back to back to back like that (I feel truly bad for her if she is going to). Probably the best bet is she waits until act iii comes out, and then tours both CC and iii together. That gives her a nice break as well. The only problem is she can’t really do all or most of the two albums, since she’d have to cut out literally all other songs to manage that. And the huge casuals that go to a big artist like Bey’s tours would probably be pretty dissatisfied if most of the big hits they’re familiar with are entirely absent. So yeah, this is not really an ideal situation here unfortunately. Which sucks, because this is the album above all I feel like she needs to tour. Wish Renaissance would have gotten shafted a bit in that regard over this one…

It's kinda cliché to get hooked on a pre-album-release single post-album-release but "16 CARRIAGES" is just too good.

I do feel like internationally this tour wouldn't work without her doing more hits vs this particular album that I feel is way more US centric in sound.

That’s what we’d likely be looking at if she just did II+III together. Or 2.5 at the least, since I can’t imagine act iii clocking in under an hour. I don’t see where there is any room for anything else in that hypothetical tour. She could throw like 3 or 4 random hits in there I guess, but it would just be odd at that point.

Gotta love that she spent most of the first 3 weeks of her album release vacationing in Japan…

I think she should tour South America, Oceania and Asia ONLY if she does a tour for CC. I think she should do appearances and promo in the US. Then do a big world tour for act III because let's be honest she's probably going to "retire" after that.

She can do a small tour for act ii in a handful of select cities. Record one of the shows and release it in theaters so everyone can see it. Then do a much bigger tour for act iii.

I just hope she tours for either act ii or iii. I’m fully landed in the beehive now, and I NEED to see her live. One of my biggest regrets is not seeing that tour.
I personally don’t think it’s too much to tour all 3 acts. I’m sure there have been artists that have toured 3 albums with 3 tours in a somewhat short amount of time (maybe not as grand though, so that’s something to think about).

I can actually relate to this. Look how long her natural hair is! All the way down to her waist. It's really annoying that black people think that black women can't grow their own hair naturally long. As a black woman myself, I can attest to this. I've been getting that like my most of my life. I have worn blonde weaves once since coloring my own natural long hair would be risky and unhealthy. As soon I took off the weaves, my natural hair actually grew even more longer and thicker due to not perming it for a month and not using any color on my own hair. People don't realize that the reason why Beyoncè and some black women choose to wear wigs/weaves often is because it protects their natural hair underneath. Putting strong chemicals and too much heat on our own natural hair can make the hair more damaged and delicate. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6Dex5orHYi

Giving Shinkansen and Cécred more promo than the album, of course.
Bodyguard is continuing to gain momentum, glad it’s being featured in the Cécred video which is going viral.

Bodyguard is that girl! It’s such a hit in the making. It’s so frustrating they won’t push these obvious hits (Cuff It).

During Coachella this past weekend, my friends and I were speculating if Beyoncé is gonna show up at Stagecoach, since there was a massive Cowboy Carter trailer on the grounds. We'll know soon enough!

I will remain unconvinced Levii’s Jeans isn’t the radio smash of the album at the least (maybe streaming too), but I can agree Bodyguard would likely be a better choice right now than IIMW. In some ways I kinda wish Miley wasn’t there since there’s zero chance that would have ever been in single contention without her and I just don’t want it to kill the era when there’s gold to mine here. No reason this era can’t be IASF 2.0 in terms of hits.

If this were another point in time, I think all of these could be hit singles: Texas Hold 'Em II Most Wanted Levii's Jeans Bodyguard Tyrant Lesser chance, but still possibilities: 16 Carriages Blackbird Jolene Alligator Tears II Hands II Heaven [Radio Edit]

I finally got over the vinyl thing and listened to the first draft of this album, BEYINCE.
Still great, definitely missing the energy from Spaghetti and Ya Ya (I love Flamenco as well but it's not as essential). Feels a little more sedate without them. But it also sounds a bit less sprawling and 'neater'. Just interesting.

Yes to Bodyguard. Currently jamming to it. I want this as a summer single sooooo badly.
Personally, I’d say Bodyguard next, then Levii’s for late summer/Autumn. Tyrant has to make a debut somehow too. I wish YaYa could be used for something as well.

I would love it as an album era closer with a campy video.

So I often listen to entire stretches of this album if I listen to one song (since I’m obsessed with it lol), however I just listened to IIMW and then Bodyguard back to back for the first time and… I think that’s totally Miley on background on Bodyguard! I know Taylor has been the rumor, but it sounded a ton like Miley coming right out of IIMW and it would make perfect sense if Miley laid some background vocals down as well for that while she was recording IIMW with Bey. And maybe refused a credit on BG since she was already thrilled with a proper duet on the album? Not to mention, both songs have the lyrical thread of “riding shotgun”…

I will lose my shit (in the best way) if Tyrant gets a full single push, but I give it like less than a 1% chance sadly. Nor do I want anything to knock out LJ from being a proper single, since I firmly believe it could be Bey’s best/maybe last chance at a CHR #1 as a lead, and I want to see that so bad. Let’s also be real though that with the way Renaissance played out, it’s entirely possible that IIMW getting sent to radio as single 2 is the end of their plans for this era (I will scream/die inside).

I randomly found one lone copy of "Cowboy Carter" on CD at Target this afternoon, with an "Online Only" sticker on the back and a reduced price of $8.39, so I snatched it up without thinking twice.
This usually happens when items not sold in stores are returned by a customer and the store does not have a spot for it on the shelf, so they will either put it in the department-specific Clearance area, or in with new release stock where it could be more easily seen. (This was next to CD copies of Taylor and Ariana's new releases.)
Off topic, I've found quite a few CD and vinyl deals this way at Target over the last year or so, including the Target exclusive gold nugget "Ultimate Aaliyah" vinyl for only $13.49 (retail $44.99) back in January.
