She did nothing, announcing a tour is nothing basically.. SuperBowl was probably the biggest thing she did and Formation wasn't even a proper single until the album came out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't released to the radios, wasn't released on iTunes, the video was exclusively for Tidal, and you can only watch it on YouTube with a link to it (not on her official channel), only performance on SuperBowl which basically has no impact since the song wasn't available for buying..

Formation was a great promo track. You can't say a SuperBowl performance has no impact on promoting a song and an upcoming album. Everyone was talking about Bey as soon as Formation came out, she was everywhere because of the song and the controversy that came with it. She was also featured on a Coldplay song and video. The promotion of this album hasn't been conventional but it has been correctly promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeQueenOfGGD 25,454 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I haven't heard the album yet, and I won't be an ass kisser and pretend I've been a huge fan for years just because her new album is doing good, but I trust its a good album and deserves those sales Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, true, people talked about it which is definitely promo, but yeah not conventional and as much as a name as Beyonce would normally do tbh..

skaxboy 5,618 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Without and promo? Maybe not the same type of promo we are used to (music video, radio single, live performances on talk shows) but there was definitely promo. Super Bowl for one was massive promo for it or else she would have done an older song. Announcing a tour is low key promo since it promotes a new album being released. And let's not forget a certain HBO film that premiered on Saturday during the weekend HBO is free for people to try. That's absolutely promo. Public Relations and publicity stunts (such as being Tidal exclusives) count as promo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
