"I Was Here" has a video?
Or did they nominate that live performance that's on YouTube?

I hope she doesn't but I believe Bey could push 400,000 even with new rules.

I mean we chalk up how amazing 4 was but it doesn't change the fact it underperformed. Coming from that kinda era her lead needs to be a smash. No single at all might make her push 100-175k in her first week tbh. And if she's releasing in Q4 she might not debut at 1. And let's face it charts and sales matter, they're just not the most important.

I want a proper single and release schedule as well, but if she decides she is going to do "NewRules" then so be it, I'm okay with that as long as we still get videos and everything else.

Honestly if this was 2010 or Q1 of this year she could've done this. But the hype dying down a lead single at least a month before the album is necessary.

If you're referring to this and not the Roseland live video, then yes, that's the one nominated.

I wish bey would do new rules ! She never hypes up her album and that's what's jay and Kanye did sold on hype alone , a BEYONCE hyped album and you expect 100K ?? Smh y'all forget Bey is Bey 3 million copies on a r&b album with no hits and y'all have doubt ? That's some back wards ass thinking imo

[Bee․]

She better not pull a "NewRules" stunt.
A single with proper promo is needed.

[IAmFree]

I dont want her to do New Rules. She needs that lead single

Yeah i don't understand why people want this. The "4" era was confusing enough with what was being released, why would anyone want that crap again?

[GrandMomCookies]

At least you know with new rules it be a hype promo campian behind it

[PulseBeat]

Not really. I haven't heard about Yeezus since it dropped. Plus Beyonce is NOT coming off a good era. Both Kanye and Jay are so you can't compare them.

[Beyhive2012]

I hope she doesn't do new rules.

[PULSE.]

This whole new rules thing just takes the excitement out of an era. The first single, video and performances leading up to the new album are the most exciting moments. I hope Beyonce gives a countdown to the release of the single like and week or two, instead of dropping it out of no where. Build up the Anticipation.

[cats&fashion]

But it forces people to take her more seriously as a musician. And tbh, if Beyonce hypes it correctly, the album could sell 500,000+ 1st week

@Serena I was lined up at 12:20 and the doors for early entry opened up at 6:45. I was on the security barricade and couldn't be no further up

@swissman I think the pit tickets are in the dance for you package and the pit is about 15 people on each side corner of the stage. You get up close and personal and might wen eat to touch Bey but overall I wouldn't want that because you don't see the stage straight on.

No single, no video... No Thanks. Kanye's album came and went. I won't be shocked if Jay's album does the same. Plus Jay & Kanye are Hip-hop artists a much different world from Pop Artists world.

You have to understand Beyonce and Jay/Kanye are from 2 different worlds with 2 different standards. People could care less about Jay or Kanye doing a music video. But, Beyonce that's a different story people wanna see her dancing, looking beautiful/sexy in her music videos. Her music videos are events and people want that from her.

Plus coming off a messing era like 4 everything NEEDS to be set up right. There's no room for **** ups this go around.

I think their just looking at the 1st week numbers, and not thinking about the long run. Kanye's album came and went and going down as we speak.
