Starting point is 00:00:00 Shepard promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for free content Shepard. Oh my fault, Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because right now, ladies and gentlemen, safe to say, Beyonce gave a phenomenal performance at JZ shutting down Yankee Stadium and of course, I think I missed one of the parts. Yeah, here we go. She threw up the rock right here and of course shared a lovely kiss with her husband, as you can see right here, formerly known as Jay-Z, I believe.
Starting point is 00:00:29 I thought he was just, you know, Beyonce's husband, but All right, my fault. You know, that's a legendary Jay-Z. You know, we give him respect over here, you know what I'm saying? I just... Give him some praise! But I just did, bro. Give him some praise.
Starting point is 00:00:41 All right, anyways, I could definitely watch this video on repeat because it's just black love right here. You know what I'm saying? Hey, hold on, no. Who does that? You all just... Damn, come on, man. We know that's your girl.
Starting point is 00:00:52 God damn. Come on, man. We know she's your girl. But he just... He just trying... With Beyonce. I bet. She cut your hair.
Starting point is 00:00:59 she touches you and all that. It doesn't look real. Pause. All right, anyways, besides Dame Dash Hayden, safe to say we're going to put immense respect on Beyonce's name in this specific segment. All right, I just did. So anyways, with that being said,
Starting point is 00:01:13 no, we're not getting into Beyonce's husband's three-day shut down at Yankee Stadium because we're going to get to that in a second because guess what, ladies and gentlemen. We are here to get into Beyonce as her specific track, morning due in parentheses donk. I kid you not. It's currently the 26 most play track in the world. And not only that, this is an older track.
Starting point is 00:01:39 So if we don't know, the reason why it may sound like Beyonce recording from the past is because it was. This is a promotional single for the 20th anniversary edition of B-Day, releasing September 4th, 2026, which is also Beyonce's birthday. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at... This specific track was originally recorded around 2013 during sessions with her self-titled Beyonce album and the song remained unreleased for years before the demo leaks surfaced in 2021,
Starting point is 00:02:15 followed by a Fuller leak in 2023. So, of course, now that it's officially released, safe to say, the beehive have came together and formed like Voltron to make this the 26 most play track in the world. And before I get into the future chart, analytics, because they may get upset of me. Because over here at notorious mass effect, we get into the gaming and music IPs that notoriously affect the masses. But when it comes to Beyonce specifically, the main thing you need to know is that this specific track was written by Beyonce, Farrell Williams, the Dream, and Darius
Starting point is 00:02:49 Dixon with production by Beyonce and Farrell Williams. Now, of course, with this specific track, it would definitely, if you was a huge Beyonce fan, bring you back to those times because this is an actual recording from those times, once again, 2013 recording. And when it comes to the notorious mass effect of this specific song in general, aside from it being the 26 most play track in the world, it became Beyonce's 61st top 40 hit. Extended her record to 29 consecutive years with hot 100 entries as a lead artist. and it pushed her past Elton John and Travis Scott in career top 40 totals. This is goat-like activity that you're witnessing right now from Beyonce Knows. Now, well, Beyonce Knows Carter. So now, when you look at the actual analytics being broken by this song, don't forget that it's also the number third most is slated.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Number three, as far as hot R&B tracks. is number seven as far as as high R&B slash hip hop songs and it's Beyonce's first top 10 on this chart since Cuffett that reached number 3 February 2023. Now of course, ladies and gentlemen, that is a
Starting point is 00:04:06 phenomenal feat. But the main thing I wanted to get into is this hiatus because it's been approximately two years since her last musical offering. If you don't know, Cowboy Carter came out March 29, 2024, which of course we covered that album extensively. So now,
Starting point is 00:04:24 two years later putting out a single that was recorded in 2013 for her 20th anniversary edition of B-Day it couldn't have been at a best at a better time because Jay-Z who shut down Yankee's stadium for three days straight which we'll get into in the future but basically all of these type of anniversary album celebrations just showcases that aging gracefully is real thing in hip hop and of course rnb i know we see time and time again certain people crash and burn or seemingly crash and burn as far as their mental state you guys see that's the problem but when you look at bianza and j z in totality they are the epitome of what success looks like as far as longevity also being considered when it comes to multiple albums because j z not only was he celebrating reasonable
Starting point is 00:05:22 doubt not only was he celebrating um he's celebrating some other albums i case you know i'm only 26 going on 80 i don't remember all the albums that he's celebrating but it was like three of them which is why it was three nights at yankee stadium i would have the actual names when i cover him specifically but we're talking about bioncy ladies and gentlemen i know we joke around that j z is biont's husband but he does deserve and he basically demands the respect of a whole segment placed upon him so for this we're just focusing on biance but another thing i want to get at especially with bianca just being a mammoth of a notorious mass effect during the music and it's just that what this man come back from why is it that you keep flexing this girl oh dame we try to get to
Starting point is 00:06:12 bianci's your girl that's what it's been the whole time but we try with bianca i bet she cut your hair she touches you and all right man we got to cut that man that man dame need help you know what i'm saying goodness gracious the hate the player hating is egregious anyways jZ's most valuable player which is bionc is currently running crazy uh running up a crazy bag with numerous brands
Starting point is 00:06:38 what type of brands well ladies and gentlemen that's what i have right here for you as parkwood entertainment founded in 2008 and 2010 her core company controls music tours films and projects but hold on now that's not it as you also have ivy park which is an adidas collab that she owns a hundred percent of and it has generated 93 million in year one i kid you not now of course ivy park did discontinued partnership in 2024 so i have to keep it eight more than 92 especially when going over analytics but another thing that bionc is currently having success at as far as her
Starting point is 00:07:22 multiple brands is secret, which if you don't know, it's a hair care product. Shout out to Cardi B. I remember I covered that. Let me see. Why not I cover that? I covered Cardi B's grow good beauty hair products March 18, 2026. So now Cardi's getting into that lane. But Beyonce's been there as far as secret hair products had a strong launch and reportedly 200 million in year one sales as far as estimates. And then last but definitely not least, we have. Sir Davis which is a whiskey partnership that Beyonce has with Moed Hennessy and of course the fragrance line that has 500 million dollars in lifetime sales now the reason why we go over all this is not only because we basically highlight people who notoriously affect the masses on a gaming
Starting point is 00:08:14 and music IP industry specifically but of course Beyonce is one of the biggest mass effectors in the music industry and it should go without saying but i just wanted to put in perspective of just how big biance is and how many brands that she's that she's built to the top right people look at j z as the ultimate businessman which of course you have all the evidence and all the examples in the world to look at j z as the ultimate businessman coming from hip-hop but some people forget just the amount of different brands that biansey has now of course they put a misrespect on her musical career. When it comes to secret, when it comes to her fragrance line, when it comes to other collaborations she has, which is like with a Moed Hennessy, a lot of people just say, oh,
Starting point is 00:09:00 it's because of Jay-Z. Like, no, no, hold up now. That's because Jay-Z is a businesswoman herself. You know what I'm saying? She's a, she's not a business man. She's a, I feel like my Jay-Z fans would have got there. Anyways, back to Al Sam. So, Beyonce, as far as her tour, has also been breaking records. Of course, when it comes to 2023, the Renaissance Tour had the highest grossing tour by a woman slash black artists at the time. Really, let's just say women. You don't need to
Starting point is 00:09:29 put black on it because they'd be like, oh, you're number one when it comes to urban. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, Beyonce had the highest grossing tour by a woman in the year of 2023, grossing $579 to $600 million. And of course, Cowboy Carter, the tour in 2025, was the highest
Starting point is 00:09:45 grossing tour of 2025, having $450 million plus when it comes to tickets slash merch, the highest grossing country tour ever, like of all time. You know what I'm saying? And then of course, you can't forget that when it came to Cowboy Carter, she was the only female artist ever
Starting point is 00:10:07 with first eight albums debuting at number one on Billboard 200. So putting a misrespect on Beyonce's name, I could be here for hours. just wanted to consolidate it, give you the analytical data, hence my name. You know, I'm saying nothing too crazy. All right, my fault. And then, of course, when it comes to Beyonce specifically, showcase how much of a businesswoman she is in her own right.
Starting point is 00:10:31 She's not a businessman. She's a... I'm not going to be able to finish that. All right, anyways, so when it comes to Beyonce, the last thing I want to get at is, of course, she had a phenomenal outing at Jay-Z's Yankee Stadium show. when it comes to the future developments of Beyonce, be on the lookout for more marketing campaigns for her 20th anniversary for B-Day.
Starting point is 00:10:57 I expect her to do the opposite of what Jay-Z just did as far as her headlining New York stadiums and maybe bringing Jay-Z out because, of course, they are the biggest power couple of music history is not even close. So now Beyonce has a chance to do what Jay-Z's been doing as far as the Yankee Stadium with her own 20th anniversary edition
Starting point is 00:11:17 B-day. So be on a lookout for that. That is releasing September 4th, 2026, which is also Beyonce's birthday.
