Well, if anything, I'm really excited to see what happens when Beyonce does start promoting new music next year.

She kinda blew her marketing load this year. Vogue, Superbowl, documentary, world tour, inauguration, H&M/Loreal/Pepsi. She had a perfect storm of promo, and it us HIGHLY unlikely she'll be able to recreate a blitz even HALF as visible when she actually has music to promote.

Also, I bet her products partners can't be too happy. I bet many of them signed on for such lofty endorsement on the expectation that she'd be putting an album out. Pepsi can't be pleased right now.

It'll be interesting to see what happens.

You're definitely right. I'm sure the business partners expected a new album release early this year. Hell, I even think that Bey expected it herself, but cancelled the whole thing at the last minute. I have a feeling that she just wasn't happy with Grown Woman or SOTS. The songs are better than the majority of filth that's currently charting, but they're no comeback material IMO.

The Pepsi deal was more for the tour tho. I'm sure Pepsi is glad that the tour is doing well at least...

I've said multiple times that I don't mind Bey postponing the album, as long as it's good in the end. And I still hold this opinion. I don't want her to rush anything. She can take her time and I really don't mind. The haters seem more pressed about it tbh

Show Me The Receipts is shitting, rightfully so.

 

[Matt_]

I don't want to be Kanye

I tried it again and got bieber

 

[royalan]

Ew...

I did NOT like that Roar snippet.

There are two kinds of choruses that have been overused lately and I'm fucking done with them.

One type is the dance break chorus.

The other is the vowel sound repetition chorus.

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh

Burn it with fire.

 

[Yado]

Got Yeezus. I can live with that.

It's a cheap trick to make the song catchy. Even my fave is guilty...multiple times.

But yeah, that snippet also made me sigh

Worth legally not paying anything for (that's what name your price means right?)

 

[Matt_]

Your Body had a repetitive vowel chorus though, maybe Christina started its downfall

 

[Phreaker]

I've just seen the video of the year nominations

 

[Majmun]

or the nominations all together

 

[Wafflecakes]

Get your Prism predictions in asap if you have not already.

I am predicting 399999

 

[<+)O Robido O(+>]

...I don't know why the Behhive is so pressed that nobody is talking about Bey right now.

Who's pressed though? Anytime anyone mentions Beyonce, Kyon pops up like Oscar the Grouch to remind everyone that she has no new music out and we should all be ashamed for stanning a touring artist and blah blah blah. I'm not here for this republican create your own narrative y'all have going on here.

Also, I bet her products partners can't be too happy. I bet many of them signed on for such lofty endorsement on the expectation that she'd be putting an album out. Pepsi can't be pleased right now.

Why would Pepsi care about a Beyonce album?

 

[Dr. Malik]

I want to lower my Prism prediction to 275k

 

[Kyon]

I am convinced Gaga's sales will under perform for some reason. I think all the girls will underperform

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

I'd like to lower Prism to 345k

 

[Matt_]

Prism to 360 please

 

[Fey]

Britney - 240k
Gaga - 620k
Katy - 315k

 

[Trigger]

All these lowered sales expectations...

 

[Wafflecakes]

Put your money where you mouth is

Lets see some predictions!

 

[Fey]

All these lowered sales expectations...

Which is pretty odd considering almost all of us underestimated 20/20.

But idk. Maybe it's because that 5 second Roar snippet kinda underwhelmed me.

 

[Matt_]

I'm expecting to be underwhelmed by anything that Katy does, so she can only beat my expectations really
I was quite excited before Burqa/Aura hit, now I just don't care much about ha

 

[Phreaker]

Is this for first week sales?

 

[Wafflecakes]

Is this for first week sales?

Yup! US only.

I am dropping two worst predictions, and EVERYONE bombed on JT's 20/20. So it is pretty much an even playing field.


Feel free to make some predictions.

 

[Phreaker]

Yup! US only.

Okay, I'll guess:

Beyonce 5 - 220k
Britney 8 - 280k
Gaga - 750k (unless it's a dollar somewhere again, ha)
Katy - 410k

 

[Wafflecakes]

Britney - 240k
Gaga - 620k
Katy - 315k

Prism to 360 please

Katy - 410k

Ok. All these have been added.

Also fixed a typo since I put Lastinline/Paperheart's predictions in the wrong row.

 

[Professor Beef]

Such little faith. Katy will be taking names soon. 500k names, to be exacT.

 

[paperheart]

Yes! Ya'll best predict lower than I have for PRISM so I can win again.

 

[Touchdown]

Beyonce 5 - 500k
Gaga Artpop - 900k
Britney 8 - 305k
Katy Prism - 460k
Mariah The Art of Letting Go - 480k

 

[SaintZ]

I suck at making predictions but I'll participate.

Beyonce 5 - 180k
ARTPOP - 470k
8tney - 190k
Prism - 250k

 

[Fey]

Such little faith. Katy will be taking names soon. 500k names, to be exacT.

Yes! Ya'll best predict lower than I have for PRISM so I can win again.

hmmmm ...

 

[Koodo]

I won't change a single thing about my already underwhelming PRISM prediction. I keep telling y'all Perra will WARRIOR haself into oblivion for working with Fluke in 2013.

The only reason I'm even predicting a slightly bigger opening week than the Pubertal Nightmare is because I foresee a larger promotional push.

 

[paperheart]

hmmmm ...

Oops.

Well, either he will lower his prediction at some point, or Katy will actually do 420k.

I think luck is on my side, so either one of those is going to happen.

Also, yes I see those other 420k predictions too. I predict that they will lower over time as well. The hype just isn't there for Katy.

 

[Wafflecakes]

On another topic.

Liam.....

Just sayin.

 

[Aguila]

I want to see this already

Edit: I don't think the apple pic is from Tropico. The bottom one is of Lana and her sister

[SaintZ]

Liam turned from the worst to the best looking one.

I feel nasty for having these thoughts about him.

Also, YAAAAS @ Lana serving Catrina realness. Hew else.
