Drunk In Love seems less logical than Crazy In Love or 7/11 personally. She wouldn't need dancers for that, or at least she haven't really done that before.

[KingB®]

Is it confirmed she'll perform one of her own song at the Superbowl? or are we assuming because her dancers are with her?

[king_queen]

Bey is gonna come out and do a number to Uptown Funk and go home 😩😩

[Valentine]

Now, we all know she will finally give Love On Top the Superbowl performance it deserves.

I'd love for Chris to introduce Bey with "Hey Mrs. Carter" and Bey would go straight into Yonce and take it to 7/11 from there

That would be cute, but because of the Mrs. Carter show that "Hey Mrs. Carter" part always reminds me more of Get Me Bodied than Yonce

Yes! I mean, I still have some hope for a new single, but if she's gonna perform something, I hope it's 7/11, because what else? Ring Off? 😂

dd, don't test her

she's always had dancers for Drunk In Love ever since MCSWT2.0 kicked off. It's not likely that she'd perform that but if she did, she could easily add more dancers to the number like she did at the VMAs.

well I mean I don't think she'd need them for Hymn For The Weekend but we'll see.

This song is a bit basic for Beyoncé but she definitely would slay this.

Imagine a Boots reworking of the production.

knowing her, it'll be Drunk In Love

I think the best bet is that she’ll come out, sing a song with Coldplay, and then do they Drunk in Love a la Ed Sheeran version and then she’s gone. It’s not like she’s co-headlining. She’s just their guest. I can’t see it that she’d have dancers and I feel she’d want to do something different and more relaxed this time around. But who knows!

[Crescendolls.]

So RTW sold 1,3M in ths US. Meanwhile the video will reach 300M very soon and she's also coming for 100M on spotify. If they call it a flop one more time

It definitely isn't a flop, the longevity is amazing. I was hoping the streaming would count for the Hot 100 so that she would repeak to something more deserving but, oh well.

Had streaming counted back then she would have gone top 10

[ELECTRAHEARTPOP]

Run The World is the definition of longevity and impact.

[KORDEI]

To think that with her "flop era" and album she managed to damn near go double platinum (1.5M which is more than PLENTY of "hit eras") and get all of her singles to be certified with no pop radio support: RTW at 1.3M, BTINH at 1.3M, LOT at around 1.5M, Countdown went Gold... album at around 3.1M WW. The NERVE.

I mean I could see if the album stalled at 700k or something.

This shows how much of a pedestal she is put on in online pop culture More than a lot of their own favorite artists. I'm sorta glad it happened bc now they see that she don't need a hit to be thee HBIC Watch RTW limp its way to 2x platinum in the coming years.

[Nemo]

Am I crazy, or wasn't this Lućifer/Satan individual a Beyoncé stan for the longest time? Bc Beyoncé was the first name listed in this user's post in a thread regarding celebrities that you dislike. Not that it really matters, I'm just a bit baffled by it is all.

plus the fact that album leaked a month in advance w/ no smash single & still opened up with more than 300k. thats more than albums that have lead with #1s. imagine what she would've done if she had a big smash.

i said it years ago...the "4" era proved the strength of Beyonce's brand to me. as u said...there are albums that are considered "hits" with those figures that they call a flop b/c its Beyonce.

[Lorelei]

Shakira's least successful albums sell around 2M and they have the nerve to call her a flop just like Beyonce ATRL does the most as usual

if she is just their guest....then what is Bruno Mars there for?? he has no affiliation with Coldplay. and he just performed even more recently than Beyonce.

clearly Beyonce is doing her own performance...what is the need of her hiring dancers & doing her own rehearsals (not with Coldplay) this many weeks in advance if all she is doing is background vocals on Hymn & an acoustic tea? something more is going on. i think Beyonce is going to release a new single that week & do the premiere performance on SB. thats the only thing that makes sense if she is doing all this extra preparation apart from whatever Coldplay has her do for them. she already did her catalogue on her last show.

That's why people that hate her stay so inordinately irate over any praise or honors she gets. Stay whining and complaining about her being "overrated" and "treated like some sort of queen or God" yet her most zealous online haters' most common criticism of her is "too perfect"

It must really feel some kind of way to not only irrationally hate someone that is so widely and openly loved and admired for her excellence, but to lowkey agree with all of it and try to spin it into a negative because that's just about all you can do.
