A track-listing purporting to pertain to a sequel to Beyoncé’s eponymous visual album – released last year to the literal deaths of millions who literally could not even – is still being passed around third period music today, in spite of it being evidently doctored.
Despite pretty obvious indicators that it’s fake [the listed release date, November 25th, is a Tuesday not a Monday; Beyoncé surely would never release a song call ‘Fashion’, because that’s hella basic; ‘Good in Goodbye’ is a lyric taken from ‘Best Thing I Never Had’; the use of Times New Roman; the blatant disregard for professionalism, to name a few] the memo lists ten ‘new’ songs featuring guest appearances from Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, and Nicki Minaj alongside eleven new music videos.

Today, however, a number of new semi-convincing pieces of evidence in favour of at least two new Beyoncé songs being released as soon as November 14th have come to light. Chief amongst those indicators lending credence to rampant speculation that Beyoncé is about to drop a new visual album are the following.
Three of the tracks, ‘DONK,’ featuring Nicki Minaj, ‘Cherry’ featuring Rihanna and a remix of ‘Partition’ were all registered by Beyoncé with the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers a couple of weeks ago.
More promisingly, links have begun appearing international versions of Amazon indicating that a four-disc box set slated for release on November 24th have begun appearing in localised online stores across Canada, France, Japan and Holland.
Furthermore, as noted by Buzzfeed, Nicki Minaj’s The Pinkprint, originally scheduled to drop on November 24th, has been pushed back to a December 15th release – a move not dissimilar from when Minaj delayed the release of ‘Anaconda’ to allow for the release of their ‘***Flawless’ collab.
Regardless of what popular entertainer and Number #1 Beyoncé, Beyoncé, does on November 25th, at the very least you’re guaranteed new Nicki in time for Christmas; plus, there’s almost certainly a new Rihanna album coming out around the same time.
Either way, you be all night, boo.
