RadioIsOurs 13,835 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 It didn't chart on the Hot 100, despite being SO talked about, all because she only released it on Tidal... The video still remains unlisted, and you can see that it's daily views has dropped so hard... This song is basically forgotten already... Is she doing this all on purpose? Why did she pull that huge Super Bowl stunt, only for her not to sell this song as her next big hit? Why isn't anyone asking that question? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killa 15,560 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think she was very smart and it's smart for the label as well. They don't have to waste more money in promotion and it served it's purpose. Being, Bey saying to the world she's back, she's black (oh really?), she slays. It's not like it would sell much. So it's a better investment, just shows that Beyonce plays by different rules Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebe 16,807 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Beyonce isn't about singles. Beyonce shifts albums and tours stadiums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think she did it to promote her tour. I don't think it won't even be the lead single from her upcoming album! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levine 22,466 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think it was clear from day 1 this was just a buzz/promo single. "Why did she pull that huge Super Bowl stunt, only for her not to sell this song as her next big hit? " Don't forget Beyoncé did a WHOLE SB show without new music.

Levine 22,466 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 2 minutes ago, Bebe said: Beyonce isn't about singles. Right? It's not like she attaching herself to the hottest rapper of the moment to get a hit. I think it was clear now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haroon 49,685 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think it was just a tour promo single The Beyocalypse is yet to hit us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwontell 7,312 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 She released the song to make a statement - which is already made - and to promote her tour - which's having amazing sales already... ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Does she need to though? I mean her and Jay are both insanely rich, they've got a family to focus on so does Bey feel the need to compete the same way other pop artists do? Besides, Beyoncé has always used statements and/or gimmicks to sell her music and get it talked about. Formation, which I personally think is a good song, would struggle to be an actual chart topping hit for many reasons so why promote it like it will be? Watch the next Bey song be a crazy radio hit or she'll go down the same route as Rihanna and make something more experimental... Either way, I don't think Bey would care if people liked and bought it or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 49,376 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Beyoncé is one of the richest people in the entire world. She's basically just putting out music for her own amusement at this moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
