S0436 10,215 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Lucky for her that in the UK her two albums from TLK are not eligible for the main album chart as they are considered compilation albums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved The Gift way more than the Carters and even, and I'll get yelled at this, some of the tracks on Lemonade (with the exception of Spirit). I think part of the problem was the promotion tbh—I love Bey and I don't mind that she avoids most interviews, but the roll out was terrible. There's a difference between no/barely any interviews, and not even having the information about the albums out there to the public in a clear way. There were rumors that The Gift was coming out, but then she dropped Spirit and people started thinking that was the only Bey track and it was on TLK soundtrack...mess. The interview with Robin Roberts helped, but it would have been way better to just have some sort of press release (or even a write up on IG) that clearly stated that two albums would be released and some information about The Gift a few weeks before they were released. She also, imo, should have talked to a few reporters on the red carpet at the premiere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilyLark 9,694 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 She'll be fine if she puts out an original album (no collabs with Jay, etc.). However, she does need to handle her promo better—yes, in some ways she has good PR because of how much the press loves her, but winning over the press doesn't equal making sure her product has commercial appeal (and that's on her publicist and her manager). Scooter Braun is a terrible human being, but he does a great job at "selling" Ariana's music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with this, the promotion for this was almost non existent, the Spirit video literally was released AFTER the movie was released how does that make any sense? She rarely showed up you can tell she was completely disconnected from working with the other cast members they didn’t even MEET before the premiere it just makes no sense the promotion was a mess... regardless I just hope the music gets more recognition at this point I don’t even care for the numbers she really improved as an artist with this music it’s the very least it deserves... 💋 𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕡 𝕐𝕒 ℂ𝕠𝕠𝕜𝕚𝕖𝕤 𝕌𝕡💋🍪 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno 2,880 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 2 hours ago, Wifey said: I like Beyonce, but she’s been flopping commercially for years. She has been put on a pedestal that no one can really live up to...I think is unfair to her that she’s so overrated... I think its because she has an undeniable showmanship and performance quality but over the years has purposefully made herself so exclusive as to alienate markets outside of her cult following (which is so hardcore/widespread in the US that no one here even realizes that not everyone cares about every little thing as much as they think they do lol). Which of course can be said for most fanbases but none have infiltrated mainstream media here so dominantly as the beyhive. I am a casual Beyonce fan for public record, just sayin. We are a rare breed but we do exist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 tbh its hardly had any promo, i didn't even know it came out since a day ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reginald 13,681 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 If it wasn't for GGD and Stan Culture, I legitimately wouldn't have known that The Gift was even coming out Even legends need to do promo. Clearly The Hive either isn't big enough, or like many music consumers in 2019, they're primarily streaming instead of buying albums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As terrible as Scooter is, he does a good job for Ariana in spreading the details out there about her albums and various projects. Same with Rihanna's general team....A good team doesn't just garner positive general press—they maximize the commercial potential of their client's product & try and shore up the critical reception. I think Gaga's teams is underrated by GGD and not bad at all, but Gaga's team, Bey's team, even Taylor's team could take some hints from how Scooter and Rihanna's teams handle everything. For example, putting out music videos the same exact day a track drops or is pushed to the radio is a big one as is shutting down "unauthorized" videos on youtube which take away from streaming numbers.
