Which one of the hive members stepped on the toes of football fandom? Don’t they know that football fans are the most jobless and unhinged people in the world? They’re like k-pop stans with even less dignity.

Y'all really played yourselves expecting a traditional rollout. I died lol. I sort of knew I wasn't going to get anything that I wanted from this release in a official way. My favorites are I'm That Girl, Alien Superstar, Pure Honey, and Summer Renaissance. I expect all of those tracks to be given nothing.

Even if they don't plan to do a traditional rollout, I don't understand why they haven't at least officially announced Cuff It as the 2nd single (changing her Instagram bio doesn't count) and push it to radio. Plus, there are plenty of things outside of performances or a music video that can be done. BMS has yet to have either a music video or performances yet it still got visualizers, instrumental/acapella versions, multiple remixes, etc. None of those things stated would take much effort. Why not give Cuff It a similar treatment in the meantime?

I love how Nicki Minaj and Cardi B take a break from subtweeting each other on Twitter to stan Beyoncé. United Nations World Humanitarian Day Ambassador Beyoncé Knowles-Carter did that.

I think she just wanted the music to stand for itself. Or plans on releasing visuals in another way. We just gotta wait it out and see how it goes.

A couple theories…
Theory One: If she’s dropping 3 albums, I assume rather quickly one after the other (I can’t imagine we are getting 3-4 years of Renaissance era), then I can see why her team is in little to no rush to push visuals and singles. There is so much to still come for this project. It’s highly ambitious. If she burns the world out on Act 1, pushing single after single, her next acts might feel less exciting if the GP is tired out.
Theory Two: Beyoncé is letting Act 1 serve as a taste, and Act 2 or Act 3 will have more of the songs she wants to see “pushed” on radio / charts harder. She knows what’s on deck, perhaps her best hasn’t even come yet. Why waste all her energy on this Act if she’s already thinking ahead to the next one?
We know visuals will come, and when they do the album will surge again.

I honestly don’t like the concept of having 3 parts. I think people will lose interest by part 3.

For either of those theories, I don't think it hurts to work "Cuff It" at radio while we wait - it's already organically climbing back up the Hot 100 before the radio impact dates on streaming alone.
But I don't think there will be any additional singles pushed after CI.
Even though I would LOVE some sort of push for "Cozy" or "Pure/Honey"

We know visuals will come, and when they do the album will surge again. Best takes I’ve heard thus far. I feel like the entire 3 Act “experience” will take place well into Spring 23 before she goes on tour Summer 23. I get the feeling she will release Act 2 in Nov/Dec. If we are expecting visuals, she may consolidate them to one project which means we may get it upon Act 3 release in Spring 23. The viral success of Cuff It probably surprised her team - don’t know why bc it’s a hit waiting to happen. Sadly, for some reason, I don’t think they will promote it properly in order for it to hit No 1 which it honestly could. There is SO much frustration in the Hive bc this is one of her best - if not her best - album.

The 'waiting on visuals til Act 3' is the only answer I will accept, lol. Beyonce is one of the most important visual musical artists of all time at this point, so it would be downright bizarre to ignore this side of her talents.

Im sorry, not sure I missed something here. But do we have any confirmation that the "3 part project" are all albums? I keep seeing people mentioning it, but I have yet to see that confirmation anywhere. Every article, official material that I remember seein' only mentioned it as a "Project", and that's why I have been so far inclined to believe more on the theory that each part is a different kind of media experience. But maybe I just missed that info somewhere. If someone can pointed it out for me... you are correct, she only said she "recorded this three-part project over the pandemic." I think a lot of people expect at least one more album, since she's teased "B8" on her website before the album rollout. she put "What is B7?" and "B8" on her web page. some people are running with the "three albums" thing, not sure why. I feel like we'll get two albums and a visual, and I am now inclined to believe that the reason why we haven't gotten any videos for RENAISSANCE is because the film is composed of both albums. that's my theory anyway.

There was also a leaked Amazon description for Renaissance before the album detailing it was one of three albums. They quickly erased it. I really think it’s three albums.

I doubt Amazon Italy knows more about the projects than any US retailer, that's so random. that description also said that Ryan Tedder had produced some songs on Renaissance and that turned out to be false. they also said "BREAK MY SOUL" music video arrived in the coming days, which we all know is false.

hmmm. Variety did say this months ago. so I guess 2 albums + visual is possible.
"It seems possible that a video collection is a third chapter of the project, which was originally said to comprise two albums."

"It seems possible that a video collection is a third chapter of the project, which was originally said to comprise two albums." Didn't the album booklet basically confirm that the three acts are albums? It stated: "This three act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic". Technically, the word "recorded" could refer to visuals, but it heavily implies music instead.

People usually say they are "shooting" or "filming" something when referring to visual media, not "recording" it. But as I said, "recording" could technically refer to visuals so act iii being visuals is certainly a possibility, just not what you would expect based on the wording.

Right Said Fred hit out at Beyonce, at the 2022 BMI Awards for using their biggest hit without permission. Her album track Alien Superstar samples their 1992 single I'm Too Sexy. But while fans assumed Right Said Fred had given Beyoncé the nod to use the track it seems she didn't even try to reach out. Right Said Fred said: "Normally the artist approaches us but Beyoncé didn’t because she is such an arrogant person she just had probably thought 'come and get me' so we heard about it after the fact when you did. But everyone else, Drake (Way 2 Sexy) and Taylor Swift (Look What You Made Me Do), they came to us." The duo continued: "To use our melody they need our permission so they send us the demo and we approve it and if so we get a co-write credit. With this Beyoncé thing there are 22 writers it’s ridiculous so we would get about 40p. "The reason that is happening we think is because there is so little money now in the actual sales people like friends, golfing partners, engineers, bookers and the guy who brings the coke, they all want a cut." Even more frustratingly, the pair believe they are powerless when it comes to holding Jay-Z’s megastar wife to account. "We cant stop it. There is nothing we can do. It is s***," they said. "You are going to get into a conversation with someone who has a lot more presence and power and money than we do. And that won’t go well. It’s best to let it go. If you’re not careful you spend your life looking back. We keep looking forward the whole time." www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/20001042/beyonce-alien-superstar-right-said-fred-20001042/

they approved sampling before album release. there's nothing to sue as they got credit and all that. they're just doing that for attention as usual. (they're known right-wing, anti vax weirdos) what a irony of them saying "arrogant" but they're the one demanding special treatment and got mad when they can't get it. lol

People coming after Beyoncé in the press for legally cleared samples is weird. It’s attention seeking and plays on the general public’s lack of knowledge.
