Really surprised its just now debuting.. This was clearly made for Urban, and the hype alone should have gotten it thus far by Mondays update after its first full day.

Urban doesn't move that quickly. Also the format usually focuses on party songs/DJ mixes on the weekend, not new tracks. On top of that, it wasn't serviced to radio(?).
"There comes a time after a massive pop song's release where we look to charts to quantify success. We measure it against hits of the past and present and applaud accordingly. Yet Beyoncé has not given chart enthusiasts nor her loyal fans this delight. In a power move, she has withheld the song from every sales outlet in the world. This song is free. There is opportunity still for chart dominance in streaming: a quickly consumed music video can catapult a song to the upper reaches of the charts with ease. Is there hope yet? Not really. The video is unlisted on YouTube which means it's 20 million (and counting) views will not be tabulated. Streaming of the song is available on Tidal, but it's viewership misses the substantial opportunity that it would have on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Beyoncé then, has willingly rendered her song ineligible for chart glory. She’s taken it out of competition. The song exists within itself, not alongside the hits of the month. Keep in mind her last #1 hit was in 2008, a surprising amount of time for an artist who has been so clearly successful in the last eight years. But she doesn’t seem to care. The message is bigger than any success a single can have. The democratic offering of a song so needed in American culture is not only bold and brave, but perhaps telling of a time to come where chart positions offer little in the way of cultural relevancy. We don't need anyone to tell us that this song is huge. We know already know it."

but she should still make the video public, just saying
