Well it’s been changing a lot since release, I must admit I didn’t like it much at all at first buts it’s creeping up the list. Don’t panic! Il get there!
BEYONCÉ - act i RENAISSANCE / upcoming act ii
- Thread starter Ensnare
- Start date
'Alien Superstar' obviously ran out of the gate as an early fan favourite, and I think it would be a brilliantly bold choice for a (hopeful?) follow-up single, but 'Cuff It' is having a real moment on TikTok now and is galloping upwards on streaming. I'd honestly be happy with either, but she'd be striking when the iron is hot with the latter.
No confirmation, but the fact that they sharply pulled ‘Break My Soul’ from US radio around a fortnight ago would indicate that they have plans to push something else to tide us over to the next project - they could’ve just let it ride its course, otherwise. If the visuals are indeed coming at some point in the next few weeks, it would coincide quite well.
Break My Soul leaves the top 10 on US radio today. Given how massive the drops in audience have been, it really does look like it was pulled – most songs stick around the top 10 for ages. They should be servicing Cuff It or Alien Superstar ASAP. I wonder what the plan is... assuming that there is one?
Just to add to this, 'Cuff It' was today's largest gainer on Spotify Global - up 28 spots to #166 at nearly 911k streams. It's about to overtake 'Break My Soul' in the US in terms of daily streaming figures.
It's a bit of the shame they didn't have everything lined up around the album release for 'Alien Superstar' as an obvious hit when all those "Unique" memes and Tiktoks were going viral, so let's hope they don't let 'Cuff It' run out of steam before the visuals are released too. Both should be absolute classics in the same way 'Break My Soul' will be.

Alien Superstar for a Halloween push.
“Trick or TREAT” (sung in the same way as unique)
“That’s what I want”
“Category.. sweets”
Maybe the video’s a double feature.
It’s one of my faves, but zip just don’t see Alien Superstar being a hit, if it doesn’t naturally take off on streaming. Radio won’t support that chorus. Cuff It seems like the more obvious next single.
...what?
Given how with Beyoncé, I’ve come to expect the completely unexpected. I wouldn’t even want to try and pin which still is from which video.To be fair, she did toss out some crumbs for the pigeons.
