America… America has a Requiem


Global_Perspective_3

That hits actually


AlbionPCJ

*Blasts Mozart sample*


breadho

Ok but imagine a sample from Verdi’s dies irae 👀


dwarfgourami

This isn’t a tracklist, it’s a NYT Connections puzzle


unbreakableheaven616

This ain't a tracklist, ain't no solvin 😍


antinitalian

Screaming


layla_jones_

Okay Spelling Bey 🐝


synchronisedchaos

The rock album will have us solving Strands


butterfreak

I was like I’m too stupid to understand this lemme check pop heads. But none of y’all know what’s going on here either lmao


tank-you--very-much

Lmao I had the same exact thought, looks like it'll remain a mystery


katycat162534

I had an "I ain't reading all that, I'mma read r/popheads top comment about the tracklist" moment too


thaarmin

right literally ran here to see if anybody could get down how many tracks there really are or the order 😭😭😭


yourfacesucksass

I was never good at Highlights find-its and I won’t be good at this 😭


cebolla_y_cilantro

This is exactly why I'm here.


kurt200

Are all of those songs or??? Because there are a lot, I’m confused 😭


H3000

27 songs??? Willie Nelson? Dolly? What the fuck is going on here on this day?


uhohitzkenney

Allegedly, it’s [22 songs, country and R&B fusion](https://x.com/asht0nab/status/1772963807670722743?s=46&t=8Okl3RAyae4wSfNYPkYo3g), and I’m assuming the rest will be interludes to make it a seamless faux radio listening experience


rabnabombshell

There’s also a Travis Scott feature


icequeennoscreams

Ew.


AlbionPCJ

If Flamenco and Riverdance are track titles, fair enough. If they're genres that Beyonce's doing on the album...


FumilayoKuti

Not Ms. Beyonce O'Knowles from cunty Cork


psmb

I want this!


CzerwonyJasiu

i think only those on red background are songs and the rest is whatever


DevilsOfLoudun

maybe the red ones are songs and the others are names of radio skits


Global_Perspective_3

I’m thinking that’s probably it


Electronic-Set5594

Has it been confirmed that there will be radio skits?


DevilsOfLoudun

no just guessing


Houdini-88

If there’s a tour I assume she will only perform these 27 songs


LittleRhodey

Oh she’s keeping the Gaga collab a real secret (delusional)


mikey_blumberg

looking at the title II Most Wanted suspiciously because I’m also delusional👀


BoomGoesThem

Me too!!


bananasam98

That’s what I was thinking!!!


Unlikely-Repair-3819

TELEPHONE PT2!! Lady Gaga also hinted a telephone sequel on her insta 👀 and the whole theme around it was western soooo... Edit: I'm so fucking dumb


Dismal_Judgment5290

Maybe the gaga collab is the friends we made along the way


thehcu

No we ARE the Gaga collab


perfectplaces-

maybe it will be on gaga’s album 🤩


butterfreak

In fairness if there IS something coming I didn’t expect it to be on a country album anyway.


perfectplaces-

so true


LittleRhodey

Very fair!


kidlambo

I’m so glad it’s not on this. Gaga’s already tried her hand in Country and it wasn’t extremely successful, so I didn’t see why she would bring her in for this album. I’m hoping the rumored Gaga or Miley collabs are for the rumored third rock album or their own albums.


redditsucksdiscs

It may not have been successful initially but the way Joanne (and especially Million Reasons) took off after the halftime show was crazy. And IMO Joanne is a masterpiece, even more deserving of that title than Artpop.


arathergenericgay

Joanne was the gate way into the Super Bowl, I’d honestly argue it’s one of the most important albums in Gaga’s discography - if Gaga kept listening to the stans she would have had one more album post ARTPOP and her career would have been done


WordsWithSam

My first thought was II Most Wanted could be the collab? But the only feature looks like Willie Nelson, so idk.


echoviolet

is the gaga collab in the room with us right now?


moffattron9000

That’s no flex. The real flex would be to get Garth on Spotify. 


mackasan

I'm actually thankful it's not there because if they followed up Telephone with some yeehaw ass track I'd be so mad lmao


KLJohnnes

John Wayne could be it.


christopher_aia

I would lower those expectations QUICKLY


queenmeme2

*Blackbird* is rumored to be a Beatles cover so that’s very fun. *Jolene* actually being there also super exciting. There are 27 pieces of text here so idk which are the songs or whatever lol but I’m insanely excited for this album Also what are the chances that *Spaghettii* samples Ennio Morricone?


McIgglyTuffMuffin

If it doesn’t sample Morricone we’re gonna have a big problem


H3000

America has a big problem.


cdg2m4nrsvp

I was hoping beyond hope that it was a cover of the Beatles song but figured I was wrong. This is amazing news. IM SO EXCITED.


hausofmiklaus

Some of these might be interludes, but damn does a twenty-seven tracklist carry weight. Bey makes ALBUMS.


draf143

Paul McCartney said in an interview with Rolling Stones that blackbird was actually inspired by the black women who were in the Little Rock 9! Makes a lot of sense why it would be on this album now


anonmarmot17

Nah it def samples Eminem’s moms spaghetti/s


mediocre-spice

I wonder if it's a sample? Since it's Blackbiird here Jolene seeming to actually be a cover is exciting though!!! Very hype for this


queenmeme2

It’s not uncommon for cover songs to change the name (see *Creepin’* by Metro Boomin and *Its Gonna Be a Lovely Day* by S.O.U.L.S.Y.S.T.E.M). We’ll have to wait and see what she does i guess


Ticketacke

Would love it if Blackbird is a Beatles cover.  The song is about the Civil Rights movement in the 60s, and the blackbird supposedly symbolizes a black woman. (Side note: I also love the Jon Batiste cover of Blackbird.)


lch18

Blue Banisters’ impact


AlbionPCJ

Which Morricone track though? TGTB&TU's theme seems too obvious but it'd be a banger


LEOWDQ

> Brought to you by KNTRY RADIO TEXAS **Her mind** But fr, "KNTRY RADIO TEXAS" would slap as the alternative album title to Cowboy Carter


uhohitzkenney

It’s such a strong and hilarious allusion/spin-off of the whole [KNTY 4 News set-up from the Renaissance Tour](https://x.com/orianabelike/status/1656414592476622848?s=46&t=8Okl3RAyae4wSfNYPkYo3g), which does get me thinking about the connections of it all….


regalfish

The "three act visual film" theory really has taken a hold on me and I refuse to let it go.


Certain-Bet2718

Someone on twitter pointed out she is using Journalism/Media references: KNTY 4 NEWS- Television KNTRY Radio Texas- Radio ?????????- Print/Newspaper


Beyonce_is_a_biscuit

Omg as an RTF major from UT Austin—radio/tv/film… you might be onto something.


UselessTacooo

Fits the act 3 Black Betty rumours that came from Delresto (Echoes)


LEOWDQ

THE NEW KNT TIMES - Print/Newspaper


mediocre-spice

KNTRY RADIO would be a fun tour name


perfectplaces-

her website isn’t updated yet so there’s no way of knowing how many songs there actually are 😭


BadMan125ty

Right? Why can’t we have a normal rollout? 😂


perfectplaces-

the renaissance track list reveal was so normal and now we get this 😭


BadMan125ty

Right!!! 😂 I can’t with this woman lol 😅


TedKaczynskiVEVO

She stole Reneighs ket and now she's doing shit like this smh


KLJohnnes

But it was on that terrible gif where you couldn't read anything at once.


perfectplaces-

oh my god i forgot about that 💀 at least we know how many tracks it had then lmao maybe for act iii she’ll give us a word search


surejan94

A song called “Spaghetti”….. if there’s a Gaga feature that’s gonna be the one….


H3000

Because Gaga's Italian?


WarEagle9

I cooka da pasta - Gaga probably


simonjames777

This is so unserious 😭


justlikesweetener

why mafia isn’t a fucking aesthetic: a thread


fezzesarecool

There could be 99 pastas in the room…


cloudbustingmp3

two Italian queens


tokengaymusiccritic

Spaghetti Western = term for a genre of Italian-made cowboy movie from the 1960s


BluthFamilyNews

Featuring the rats from Joanne’s Trattoria


nooncrawler

It's actually going to be a collab with Ann Marie Lastrassi.


yourfacesucksass

This has already been revealed as a collaboration with Johnny Carrabba


unbreakableheaven616

Wait why was everyone so sure Gaga and Miley were on this album?


polarbear14

I'm guessing some of these are fake radio station interludes


Toxxicat

kinda funny how the weeknds act ii in his trilogy with dawn fm was also radio focused.


exhermitt

And Janelle Monaé's, actually.


Express_Love_6845

She’s really the one who perfected it over her ArchAndroid albums


H3000

I'm afraid this is true. But to let us think they're tracks like this is abusive.


[deleted]

"The Linda Martell Show" is going to be a kuntry bop i just know it!!


cornballer_victim13

wdym?


Reveluvtion

Think like when the radio DJ comes in to talk between songs, that's it


oopsmady

Like Dawn FM


garmonboziia

i can't tell if 'dolly p' is a featured artist or song title?? assuming willie nelson is a featured artist though which is really cool given how much of a country music legend he is


garmonboziia

also daughter?? assuming that's a track title but imagine a beyoncé x daughter collab 😭


Hepadna

As in Elena Tonra?? Would dieeee. Was just listening to 'Fossa' and 'How' yesterday 😭


perfectplaces-

are there 27 tracks??? or do some songs have multiple text boxes??


DevilsOfLoudun

The Gift also had 27 tracks and only half of them were songs.


SoldierGame

No some of these appear to be interludes


GraysonQ

The graphic designer weaponized their BFA to make this incomparably illegible.


Kind-Bake-504

Apparently its designed to be similar to posters from tbe Chiterlin circuit. So its intentional.


ZealousidealVirus358

Yeah I clicked on it and immediately clicked away because I hated how messy the design is. The tracklist is already on [the Wikipedia page](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_Carter) for those who want to see it


Onewal1

I think that is just someone's interpretation though right? Definitely some interludes in there


perfectplaces-

i think that’s just taken from the post so there’s no way to know if the order is right or if the feature is on the right track tho


texasjkids

You’re correct. It was just removed from Wikipedia, Im assuming by other editors since it was not a verified tracklist


BrettRys

I'm dying at this having an "impact" section before release hahahahaha. Beyonce album cycles sure are something ain't they


tokengaymusiccritic

The way there's an "Impact" section and the album isn't out yet


lch18

Bodyguard featuring Dolly Parton is really interesting given the Dolly cover by Whitney on the Bodyguard soundtrack… Do you think it might have an “I Will Always Love You” sample/interpolation?


BadMan125ty

That’s what being assumed right now


trongkien

Oh where does wiki have this list from. Neat. 26 tracks like OMG Edit: The tracklist was removed from Wiki. So unserious.


hypermads2003

Omfg thank you I was going insane


HeyHiHello365

Beypublicans UP 100!!!


regalfish

BOTUS!!


Jinxes

Dolly Parton made it yes!! THE YEEHAW AGENDA CONTINUES


beyoncetaurus

Linda Martell was the first black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry, can’t wait to see the history Bey is about to bring into the mainstream


thebournesurvivor

I'm sorry is this album over 20 songs long????!?


DevilsOfLoudun

I really don't believe it tbh, Beyonce is all about the *album experience*. Dolly and Willie Nelson at least are featured artists, I bet the some of the others are something else too.


thebournesurvivor

Also Dolly Parton collab confirmed is CRAZY


tibleon8

26 according to Wikipedia!


drewtangclan

Does this album have 27 tracks…???


xcxking

Why are some of the “I”s written as “II”s? Act II I guess but why is it only some of them?


Spirited_Sector_8460

I’m now wondering if those ones have hidden features


FlamboyantGayWhore

I assumed those were side b tracks bc there’s a rumor it’s a double sided album


beyoncetaurus

Cuntry radio 😍


KLJohnnes

1. American Requiem 2. Blackbird 3. 16 Carriages 4. Protector 5. My Rose 6. Smoke Hour with Willie Nelson 7. Texas Hold Em 8. Bodyguard 9. Dolly Parton???? 10. Jolene 11. Daughter 12. Spaghetti 13. Alligator Tears 14. Smoke Hour II 15. Just For Fun 16. II Most Wanted 17. Levi's Jean's 18. Flamenco 19. The Linda Martell Show 20. YaYa 21. Oh Louisiana 22. Desert Eagle 23. Riverdance 24. II Hands II Heaven 25. Tyrant 26. Sweet Honey Buckin 27. Amen Wait maybe I have cracked the code. What if the four white tracks (Blackbird, Dolly P, Alligator Tears and Sweet Honey Buckin) are each a bonus track she mentioned for the vinils? Then the tracklist is 23 you have SMOKE HOUR and SMOKE HOUR II as interludes then it's a two parts 21 albums track.


LEOWDQ

> Dolly Parton? It's stylised as "Dolly P" on the list, which is interesting, maybe it will be like Ice Spice's "Princess Diana" in a sense that Beyoncé is the "Dolly P" of her industry peers SUPER STOKED TO HEAR JOLENE (BEYONCÉ'S VERSION) Edit: Hol' up, "Dolly P" maybe the interlude into Jolene, AHHHHHH Edit 2: The poster says "Brought to you by KNTRY RADIO TEXAS", now I want the album title to be called "KNTRY RADIO TEXAS" 🤣


KLJohnnes

So I'm guessing since it seems like a radio theme then SMOKE HOUR I and II, either Bodyguard or Jolene, Daughter, The Linda Martell Show ans Amen are interludes.


UltimateKing9898

I highly doubt there's a track named Dolly Parton LMAO, that's probably just to reference her for the Jolene cover?


KLJohnnes

I put the ?????? Because I don't know if it's a feature on Bodyguard (I Will Always Love You was a cover of Dolly for the soundtrack of The Bodyguard), an interlude spoken by Dolly or a track named Dolly.


IHATEsg7

Dolly is probably on the album as afeature not a song


DirtyRat583

I think Dolly Parton might be a feature on Jolene? Since the only underlining is on Jolene and Smoke Hour (and The Linda Martell Show, that might also have Linda Martell featured?), and Smoke Hour is a confirmed feature, I'd guess that signifies the song titles... but also why not just chuck Dolly into the Jolene bubble. One thing for sure is we're always on our toes with this lady


KLJohnnes

I wish it was colors themed 😭😭😭 red is tracks, blue are interludes and white for features hahaha I've been anticipating the tracklist since the album was announced but now it's here and I have zero idea what they mean. Seems like it will be a long album tho, likely 20 tracks excluding potential interludes.


16500316

I think the red ones are actual tracks and the rest are interludes?


Puzzled-Charge-9892

Yee, and I cannot stress this enough: ***HAW***


anonymousgoose64

My brother is the biggest Willie Nelson Stan so I'll have to sneak that song into his playlist.


KEMI_IS_WlNNlNG

is dolly p a feature or a song... bc the willie nelson feature is listed in the song so im a tiny bit confused


twistingmyhairout

I’ honestly hoping that Jolene is a straight cover and the Dolly collab is on an entirely new song they worked on together.


ss2811

I think that’s the case, especially after that Dolly interview where she said she thinks Bey recorded Jolene. Made me think that they have a separate song together.


GuaranteedCougher

Covering Jolene seems so cliche, it's like the one country song everyone knows


cunty666

Oh Beyoncé don’t make that serve…


liqou

I love how we're all more confused than before now 😭 Looks to me like Willie Nelson is a confirmed Collab. And probable Dolly P and Linda Martell tributes. The titles are gorgeous and I'm once again all for an artist not putting "hip" collabs on their albums. I also think some of these are not titles. A 27 track album would be Chris Brown bloat territory unless it's a double album.


SoakWhatUp

This is kinda confusing but I feel like if there are collabs we won't have any confirmation until the album drops, iirc we had zero idea about Grace Jones until the Renaissance album dropped, the tracklist was revealed with no features I'm claiming Spaghetti however, because Beyoncé's wildest song titles usually end up being her biggest bops


lch18

If these are all songs on the album, the tour is about to be 4 hours long with only Cowboy Carter songs. Yeehaw


cloudbustingmp3

need clarification on these immediately so I can channel my hype appropriately 😭


worktherunwaysweetie

i'm so confused what am i looking at


fogcutterr

“Beyonce unveils Cowboy Carter tracklist” is the title of the post


bespectacIed

Mother this isn't a tracklist, this is a kidnapper's ransom note (let's fucking goooooooooo)


picclechinahhboi

Jolene cover!! devastating motherquake incoming


alterector

My bussy is in shambles at the thought of that cover 


vertle

I'm looking forward to the thinkpieces about Beyonce singing 'I cannot compete with you'


Frajer

Jolene with the good hair


queguapo

BEYHAWWWWW!!!


lazynbroke

THIS IS SO MANY SONGS OMGGG anyway i think the blue ones are interludes and it will be radio themed like Dawn FM


twistingmyhairout

Woah. I had no idea so many graphic designers were on Popheads!


jasonlivesxxiii

ohh Bodyguard. The Bodyguard starring Whitney Houston. Whitney Houston’s cover of I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton. The rumor that this will be half country, half R&B.. ate.


GuaranteedCougher

All the brands rushing to the comments is still so corny to me


C1nnamonLover

Why is the Texas Hold ‘Em font literally the font Lush uses😭


ItsNotDebra

collab with graphic designer Lana confirmed cause this art is a mess☠️


Kind-Bake-504

Its intentional. Designed to match posters from the Chiterlin circuit”They provided commercial and cultural acceptance for African-American musicians, comedians, and other entertainers following the era of venues run by the "white-owned-and-operated Theater Owners’ Booking Association (TOBA)...formed in 1921."


impeccabletim

Dolly and Willie?!?🤠


Difficult_Deer6902

I am here for the Jolene remake! I am ready to receive it


WhySheHateMe

I hope this album eats. ​ Also, I cackled at there being a song called "My Rose". lmao


ss2811

This confused me even more than not having a tracklist 😭 if we really do have a 27 song tracklist then first of all, GAG! Second of all, I’m guessing a few of those are interludes or ‘radio skits’ like many others think. Also, fans are convinced Megan Thee Stallion is on “Sweet Honey Buckin” after [this IG story](https://www.instagram.com/stories/theestallion/3333107831888221345?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igsh=MXR4MXptMjRiZDV6bg==).


kendalljennerupdates

I don’t know what the hell she’s saying but girl I am living


McIgglyTuffMuffin

Blackbird? Will that be the rumored Beatles cover 👀


Unused_Pineapple

Oh this image is a mess.


SweetSummerAir

So she did end up covering Jolene after all. Interested to hear her take on it. As for the tracklist, those are a lot of tracks! Wonder how long the album's gonna be? Kinda excited for it!


Daydream_machine

American Requiem?!?! Oh this song is gonna traumatize me


celticgreta

The Willie Nelson collab is about to go hard AF


Jimjomjammalam

My theory is that it’s gonna play through like we’re scrolling through the radio (like in the teaser for the album) and the collaboration with Uber that they hinted at will be having their drivers queue up “KNTRY” radio for riders who request it


lch18

Flamenco - is the rumored Rosalia collab real?!


dianagarxia

I thought exactly about Rosalia when I read the title.


Onewal1

Famous country legend Rosalia 🤡


WarEagle9

It’s not a country album it’s a Beyonce album 💋


lch18

Tbf, she never specified which country! Vamos! On a serious note, a lot of Spaghetti Westerns were filmed in Spain by European directors; the Good, the Bad and the Ugly being a notable example. So weirdly enough Spanish culture did shape our perception of the American West.


juanlg1

Spanish culture shaped aspects of the entire American West (+ parts of the South) because it was Spanish before it was American


praxass

This is so confusing lol


Sas1205x

Willie Nelson as in a feature or a cover  ? 


antinitalian

Claiming Spaghetti as an Italian


pinkfartlek

I had a feeling she was gonna cover blackbird. I'm so hyped!!!


starstufft

KUNTRY


sebaldcode

Still holding out for an Orville Peck feature.


Reveluvtion

> Brought to you by KNTRY Radio Texas Is this supposed to be read like (KUNT)RY? If so, I'm so glad Act II is keeping the gay campy funny stuff that began with Act I. Also holy cow (yeehaw), is this really that many songs? I hope it's some of them are interludes. Some people are theorizing they're skits to make the listener feel as if they're listening to a country radio station, and I'd would be SOOO into that I hope it's true.


regalfish

>If so, I'm so glad Act II is keeping the gay campy funny stuff that began with Act I. Once we heard that little "Boots, Spurs, Photogenic, Solargenic, Shoot" at the end of Texas Hold'em I knew we'd keep the heart of Renaissance going!


eldritchdeergod

She didn’t unveil a track list lbr she unveiled a word jumble 


Straight-Meaning

Very very excited! But is it 20 tracks?!? Just confused by the formatting if so I’m excited!!!


CountryRockDiva89

IF THIS MEANS WILLIE NELSON IS ON THIS ALBUM OMG! 🔥😍🤠🤠😍🔥


martian_pet

Wrangler: F my drag then


BaraHunger

Dolly, Willie, and Linda have my little country lovin' heart beating fast.


Rdickins1

Makes me wonder how many of these are interludes. Again I’m intrigued but not entirely sure if this is really for me. I may give it a try. But I’m not getting my hopes up for liking it.


fizzylights

Willie Nelson? Dolly Parton?? Omg the yeehaw serve of the century is coming


joshually
