How about… Residency?

The song and video were released at the same time, two months ahead of Lemonade and the day before she performed it at the Super Bowl. She then used it to announce and promote her ‘Formation World Tour’, which went on sale three days after the single dropped.

Not really. The video appeared unlisted on her channel
. It was given away free on tidal for weeks before being made a tidal exclusive later. Those facts can't be ignored
.

The days of needing to be sent to radio and released for purchase have been long gone for singles.

You do realize that radio is a massive part of the hot 100 formula right? Some songs in the top ten have up to 50 percent of their points coming from radio. You're very incorrect I'm afraid.

How much does radio play contribute to the UK charts? German charts? Italian charts? Spanish charts? Australian charts?

Hot 100 is not Global 100. Formation went top ten in the US though, what radio play did it need? (assuming it wasn’t sent for ads, I’m following Omiros’ lead)

No need to respond, that was rhetorical.

So… even though we can’t really be sure what the “acts” even mean or how many there will be… anyone wanna guess/speculate what the others will be named?

I think there will be three and they’ll all be one word titles, probably even all starting with “R”.
Just hoping that the last one isn’t gonna be named “Retirement”. /jk

I'm thinking two. Act 2 - Future.

Not feeling this song at all. Goes nowhere euphoric and has that repitituos chorus that sounds underbaked.

It's clearly channeling late-80s early-90s dance music but comes across dated production wise.

Hope there's better goodies in the album than this.

Could you imagine!?

[Omiros]

I doubt it. The way it's phrased makes me think it's a new generation artist.

If it was Bey he'd be hyping it up even more. A legend etc.

[Artoo]

Probably Harry Styles again

[Beyon]

Oh Lord i wish
but there's not a slightest chance.

[Beyon]

It feels like she's doing everything right this era for now.
fingers crossed for it to pay off sonically, critically and charts wise.

She still hasn’t lifted a finger. Where’s the promo?
