Beyonc&eacute; anticipated album, <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/beyonce-announces-new-album-act-ii-cowboy-carter">Act ii: Cowboy Carter</a>, was released on Friday; however, fans are confused about the vinyl version missing five songs.&nbsp;
https://www.instagram.com/p/C5IJqrjOcIU/?img_index=4
Some fans who received vinyl and CD copies noticed that certain tracks were missing, which are available across all streaming platforms. The Beyhive shared on social media that songs such as "Spaghetti," "Flamenco," "The Linda Martell Show," "Ya Ya," and "Oh Louisiana" were missing from the physical copies of the album.&nbsp;
According to <a href="https://variety.com/2024/music/news/beyonce-cowboy-carter-missing-songs-vinyl-1235956551/">Variety</a>, complaints about the album have been met with an automated response stating that they are experiencing a high volume of emails and will address the concerns in 3-4 days.
The article reports that fans suspect the missing songs stem from deadlines with vinyl and CD manufacturers, such as Nicki Minaj&rsquo;s Pink Friday 2 album. The claim was disputed as the track "II Most Wanted" featuring <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/miley-cyrus-makes-an-attempt-to-twerk-to-megan-thee-stallions-simon-says">Miley Cyrus</a> appears on physical copies, but Cyrus stated that the song was made in February.
Beyonce was in Japan over the weekend for an album-signing event. She has not publicly addressed any confusion related to the event. The megastar's new album has garnered critical and fan acclaim as she enters a new era.
Act ii: Cowboy Carter features Post Malone, Miley Cyrus,&nbsp;<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/dolly-parton-asks-fans-to-stream-original-jolene-before-beyonces-cowboy">Dolly Parton</a>, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Willie Nelson, Willie Jones, Linda Martell, Shaboozey, and Tiera Kennedy. A viral video surfaced over the weekend of a fan showing off her dance moves to Beyonc&eacute;&rsquo;s amazement at an album-signing event.&nbsp;

Raphael Saadiq Signs With Forward Artist Management After “Texas Hold’Em”

It seems like there's nothing that <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/beyonce-announces-country-album-drops-two-new-tracks">Beyonc&eacute;</a> can't do. The singer's latest track, "Texas Hold 'Em," has officially hit Billboard's Country Airplay Chart &mdash; a career first for the mother of three. Last Sunday, Queen Bey kicked off yee-haw season into full gear with the release of two new country-inspired songs, "16 Carriages," and the aforementioned track, which is a tribute to her home state. The new tracks will appear on the second installment in her Renaissance series, Act II.&nbsp;
On the other hand, while many folks are excited about Beyonc&eacute;'s venture into country music, it's unclear how the old guard of country will respond.&nbsp;

Matthew Knowles

<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/2024-grammy-awards-recap-sza-and-victoria-monet-win-big-jay-z-honored-with">Jay-Z</a> highlighted his wife, <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/beyonce-celebrates-renaissance-a-film-going-number-one-sends-heartfelt">Beyonce</a>, Grammy accomplishments while calling out the awards for snubbing her the Album Of The Year award as he received the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the 66th Grammys on Sunday (Feb.4).&nbsp; Beyonce&rsquo;s former manager and father, Matthew Knowles, shared with <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/02/05/mathew-knowles-beyonce-record-label-blame-grammys-album-of-the-year-snub-jay-z-speech/">TMZ</a> his thoughts behind her never winning Album of the Year while holding the record for the most Grammys on Monday (Feb. 5). Knowles claims that Columbia Records, Beyonce&rsquo;s recording home, never lobby for her during voting time.
https://youtu.be/25WHNrs-j6I?si=uUyCs5bb1nrAc3rH
When asked about Beyonce&rsquo;s Album Of The Year snub, Knowles said:
&ldquo;People don&rsquo;t know the process. Your record label can only appoint one person in a category, so that means her record label, I&rsquo;ma call you out Columbia Records, her record label has never really put her in that category for consideration. When you have Adele and Beyonc&eacute; on the same record label, the record label can only support one of those artists. There&rsquo;s a lot of reasons, I mean, there&rsquo;s a financial reason. Maybe Adele sold more records worldwide, I don&rsquo;t know these answers. But these are some of the thought processes that they go through. Maybe you say, Beyonc&eacute; has her success, here&rsquo;s an opportunity to push Adele, so let&rsquo;s push her.&rdquo;
Matthew mentioned that the record labels are not entirely at fault, but it is a combination of their actions and the Grammy voting process.&nbsp;
He added: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s combination of all, but it starts with the label. Again guys, I&rsquo;ve been 14 years in those rooms supporting the label. I know exactly how this work. We spend a whole day listening to a minute of a song and saying, &lsquo;That&rsquo;s pop.&rsquo; And then pop will listen and they say, &lsquo;Oh, that&rsquo;s R&amp;B.&rsquo; That&rsquo;s a big deal, the genre of the music. And again, there comes a point in the music industry is the whiting of America.&rdquo;
Beyonce is an icon, one of the most influential stars in pop culture, and one of the greatest entertainers of all time. She holds the record for the most Grammy Awards, with 32.&nbsp;
Beyonce's Renaissance World Tour grossed $579 million, holding the record for the highest-grossing tour by an R&amp;B artist and a black female artist.

Roc Nation Brunch

It seems the hottest ticket in town won't have any guests this year.
Sources close to the situation have confirmed that the couple's annual affair won't occur for 2024. However, the pair does plan to attend other pre-Grammy events.&nbsp;
The annual day party was set to occur on Saturday (Feb.3) &mdash; however, that is no longer the case, according to <a href="https://pagesix.com/2024/02/01/entertainment/roc-nation-will-not-host-its-annual-pre-grammy-brunch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a>, despite making a considerable comeback following the COVID-19 pandemic. Sources reported that the Carters plan to attend other pre-Grammy events instead&mdash;the two plan to support their friend and CEO of Sony Music Publishing, Jon Platt. Platt will be honored with the Grammy Salute to Industry Icons Award.
As one of the premier pre-Grammy events of the decade, rivaling even that of <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/diddy-calls-out-the-grammys-black-music-has-never-been-respected">Clive Davis</a>', the Roc Nation brunch has hosted a plethora of guests, with celebrities and industry movers and shakers alike. Some the event's past guests included Rihanna, DJ Khaled, Swizz Beatz, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Kevin Hart, <a href="https://www.hot97.com/search?s=Megan+Thee+Stallion">Megan Thee Stallion</a>, among others.&nbsp;
So far, Roc Nation has yet to release a statement regarding the situation behind the event's cancellation.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/kelly-rowland-sets-the-internet-on-fire-in-a-see-through-gown" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kelly Rowland</a> said she still regrets the time she spoiled Beyoncé and JAY-Z's gender reveal for Blue Ivy.During a recent appearance on Billy Mann's “Yeah, I F**ked That Up” podcast, Rowland was asked about the biggest mistake she’s ever made during an interview. “Oh my God. When I made a mistake and told the sex of [Beyoncé]’s baby when she was pregnant with Blue,” she responded. “That was the worst moment ever. The worst moment ever.”Back in 2011, when the "Like This" hitmaker reportedly did an interview with Bang Showbiz, she revealed that JAY-Z was “going to buy that little girl every single thing possible,” before adding that the baby wouldn’t “be spoiled but she will be very well looked after.”The Destiny's Child member said at the time she didn’t initially realize she had shared Blue Ivy's gender until afterward. “It was bad because it was no one’s business,” Rowland recalled. “I felt terrible because it’s not my news... It was honestly the worst. It wasn’t my news to share, and I didn’t mean it like that. The ‘she’ just kind of slipped out.”Check out the full interview below.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvhFF4z1RO0

Beyoncé has more hits than Bruno Mars? On the latest episode of his new, live morning radio show, "The Daily Cannon," which aired on Monday (May 22), Nick Cannon sparked this debate with his co-hosts when he said he would rather attend a Bruno Mars show over a Beyoncé or Taylor Swift show."No offense, but I would rather go to a Bruno Mars show than a Beyoncé or a Taylor Swift show," Nick Cannon stated. After receiving major pushback from his co-hosts, Nick Cannon questioned, "Who got more hits?""N**ga, Beyoncé," baffled co-host Courtney Bee said. "What you talking about?" Cannon doubled down and questioned, "Beyoncé got more hits than Bruno Mars?" Courtney Bee proceeded to list a number of Beyoncé hits to prove a point. “‘Single Ladies,’ ‘Love On Top,’ ‘Drunk In Love,’ ‘Crazy In Love,’ ‘Bug A Boo,’ ‘Bills Bills Bills,' ‘Say My Name,’ don’t play with me Nick,” she declared before asking Cannon to name at least five of Bruno Mars’ hits, which he never answered the question.Cannon was still not convinced and added, "I am a Beyoncé fan. I still believe Bruno Mars actually has more hits records." According to Billboard's U.S. Hot 100 chart history for each artist, Beyoncé has way more hits than Bruno Mars. They both have eight No. 1's. However, Queen Bey has 21 Top 10 hits to Bruno Mars' 18. In total, the "CUFF IT" singer has 81 Hot 100 singles while Bruno Mars has 32 and this isn't including her Destiny's Child's numbers.https://www.instagram.com/reel/Csjr3pIvhe5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

On Tuesday (May 16), Beyoncé took to instagram to share a reflective post that seemingly teased a new hair care venture. In the first picture, the "BREAK MY SOUL" hitmaker was seated in front of a beauty vanity styling her hair. If you look closely, you can see a variety of products with what appears to be handwritten labels. The second slide was a close-up photo from when the singer was a child getting her hair braided. In the last slide, she opened up about how hair care has been an integral part of her life as a performer since her youth.“How many of y’all knew my first job was sweeping hair in my mama’s salon?” Beyoncé asked. “Destiny’s Child got our start by performing for clients while they were getting their hair done,” she remembered. “I was exposed to so many different kinds of entrepreneurial women in her salon. I saw firsthand how the ways we nurture and celebrate hair can directly impact our souls. I watched her heal and be of service to so many women.”The Houston native ended her note by teasing the upcoming hair-related project. “Having learned so much on my hair journey, I’ve always dreamed of carrying on her legacy. I can’t wait for you to experience what I’ve been creating," she said.https://www.instagram.com/p/CsUKB_ZRY5i/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
