Beyonce is giving Justin Timberlake two weeks to top the charts before she drops her country album. JT drops his “Everything I Ever Wanted” tomorrow night at midnight.

Beyonce’s “Act II: Cowboy Carter” is coming on March 29th. Advance orders are being taken for the album in lots of iterations, a la Taylor Swift. The album will feature her hits, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” and “16 Carriages.”

Dolly Parton has said in an interview that she thinks Beyonce has recorded her great classic, “Jolene.” We can only wonder what other surprises are coming as Beyonce throws her lasso.

“Act II” will get its own three week window before Taylor Swift drops “The Tortured Poets Department” on April 19th.

And not going anywhere so fast: Ariana Grande’s current number 1 hit, “Eternal Sunshine.” And down the line we’ll see Billie Eilish’s new album, which she says is completed.
Plus Kacey Musgraves has a new release this Friday.

 

Any men releasing hit albums besides Timberlake? Unclear. Male pop stars are not in fashion right now. They may not know what to write about without getting cancelled. Someone has to write a song called “I’m Asking for Consent.” For example: where is Bruno Mars? Why doesn’t Charlie Puth release albums regularly? Why can’t the Jonas Brothers sell records?

Mysteries all.
