well my local station plays Formation and they've started putting the MV on music channels, + it's sold the most. It would be smart to change it, even to Hold Up as we've enjoyed that one too.

With her not releasing videos, it doesn't matter where she releases what, she might as well give everyone what they want

Superpower

I was gonna make this thread yesterday but I'm just SICK of her way of handling singles

ElectricFrancis

It doesn't matter what she releases nowadays, lol.

Since the Beyoncé era she's been doing it very randomly.

Thank god she's an album artist now.
