On the heels of her "Renaissance" film premieres, Beyoncé just released a new song title "My House."

The unannounced, 4-minute single was shared Dec. 1, the day after the London premiere of her documentary and concert movie "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé." While not on the original "Renaissance" album, "My House" is in the same style as the other songs on the album with its loud and proud vocals, calls and responses with background singers and a transition into the second half of the song that is house music.

The 2023 Billboard Music Awards have officially handed out all the night’s prizes – Beyoncé ended up with three awards:

Top R&B Touring Artist
WINNER: Beyoncé
Bruno Mars
The Weeknd

Top Dance/Electronic Artist
WINNER: Beyoncé
Calvin Harris
David Guetta
Drake
Tiësto

In a wide-ranging conversation with Billboard, James Fauntleroy discusses working with Beyoncé:

Now, I would be remiss if I didn’t ask this since you do sing “Sleigh like Beyoncé” in the song, so have you worked with Queen Bey recently?

The last thing we did was that song with Nas and Jay-Z . I sang the hook. That was the first song I ever put out that I didn’t write, actually. They sent that to me done already and just asked me to put my voice on it and Beyoncé at the end which sounds epic.

As I was saying earlier about service, it’s really to make whoever is playing Beyoncé, the listener who is Beyoncé in that moment, have the opportunity to feel that. I’m always gon f–k with Beyoncé on whatever s–t she’s doing, but the idea came into my mind because of what she represents.

Since that Nas song, I’ve worked on some s–t for her, I’ll say. But nobody knows what’s coming out except for her, so I really have no idea.

The finalists for this year’s Billboard Music Awards were revealed on Thursday (Oct. 26). Beyoncé is nominated in seven categories:

General: Top Female Artist
R&B: Top R&B Artist, Top R&B Female Artist, Top R&B Touring Artist, Top R&B Album (RENAISSANCE)
Dance/Electronic: Top Dance/Electronic Artist, Top Dance/Electronic Album (RENAISSANCE)

The eligibility dates for this year’s awards are aligned with Billboard’s year-end charts tracking period, which measures music consumption from the charts dated Nov. 19, 2022 through Oct. 21, 2023. Performances and awards will roll out across the BBMAs and Billboard social channels, as well as via BBMAs.watch on Sunday, Nov. 19.

No ID has revealed that Beyoncé’s Renaissance track “Church Girl” was originally produced for Jay-Z.

While interviewing with Stereogum recently, the super-producer shared a funny story of how Bey “stole” her husband’s beat.

“I was at house one day, and I had some equipment with me, and I just started making a beat,” he explained. “And he was rapping to it. It was for him. And he just put it on the computer. I never thought about it again, I literally forgot about it. And then one day, I just get a call. When you get two to three calls from people in a row, you know it’s something.”

He continued, “‘Hey, do you have this idea? Beyonce got somethin’ to it,'” he recalled Hov telling him. “And Jay jokingly tells me, ‘Man, she stole my beat. She was like, “Remember that idea in the computer that you didn’t finish?”’ And I went to see her , we talked about the record, we listened to her album.”

No ID also shared that “Church Girl” was one of the few songs on the album that Bey wanted to sound different from the other house tracks.

“When she was doing a house album, I was like, ‘Aw man, I wanna do some house,’ and she goes, ‘Nah, we got this “Church Girl” record,'” he said. “I was a house DJ before I did Hip-Hop. Actually, the first records I did were house, at like 13 years old.”

“It’s art, it’s there,” No ID added of the single. “Argue, say whatever you want, think what you want. I know people that don’t like it, I know people that love it and swear by it. Usually when music is divisive that means it’s something new. To each their own, some people like raspberry ice cream too.”

When the nominations for the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards were announced on Aug. 8, Beyoncé had just a single nomination (albeit a big one) – artist of the year. Queen Bey did better in the nominations in four socially voted categories, which were announced on Friday (Sept. 1). She received three nods in the social categories, which put her in a tie with Taylor Swift for the most in these four categories.

The two megastars are going head-to-head for show of the summer, song of summer and album of the year (in addition to the previously announced artist of the year).

Beyoncé is coming to Los Angeles this weekend to play three sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium as part of her Renaissance World Tour, and there will surely be plenty of Hollywood executives in the crowd — including some lucky executives who have already seen a piece of Beyoncé-produced media that the general public does not yet know exists.

To that end, Above the Line has exclusively learned that Queen Bey and her Parkwood Entertainment banner are shopping a new Renaissance visual album to studios and streamers, though there haven’t been any takers just yet.

The film was directed by Nadia Lee Cohen, a British artist, photographer, and rising filmmaker who has shot numerous magazine covers and music videos, having worked with artists such as Tyler the Creator, A$AP Rocky, Katy Perry, and Kali Uchis, and brands including Adidas, Balenciaga, Gucci, and Valentino.

Sources say that Renaissance is “artsy” and in line with Beyoncé’s other visual albums Lemonade and Black Is King, but also “weirder,” saying it hasn’t been Disney-fied like the latter film, which won an Emmy for its striking costumes.

For the first time in MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) history, only female artists have been nominated for Artist of the Year.

Artist of the Year has been an annual award since 2017 when the VMAs combined their gendered categories.

This year's Artist of the Year nominees are:

Beyonce
Doja Cat
Karol G
Nicki Minaj
Shakira
Taylor Swift

Beyonce was only eligible for one category, Artist of the Year, because she didn't release any music videos for her 2022 album Renaissance. Vote here!

This isn’t a drill – there’s new Beyonce music, all thanks to Travis Scott!

The 32-year-old rapper just dropped his new album Utopia and it features the song “Delresto (Echoes),” which features Beyonce.

Official lyric video for "AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM” (Feat. Kendrick Lamar) by Beyoncé.

Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar are bringing a new Renaissance.

On Friday, the singer surprised fans by releasing a remix to the track, 'America Has a Problem,' off her Grammy Award-winning seventh studio album.

While the remix sticks to its original dance beat, it quickly goes into Lamar's verse a few seconds in, which includes an ode to the Beyhive and artificial intelligence with lyrics that include: "Hold up, wait a minute / Even AI gotta practice clonin' Kendrick / The double entendre, the encore remnants / I bop like tin men, the opps need ten men."

Beyoncé banks a new milestone on the Billboard Hot 100, as “Cuff It” becomes the longest-charting hit on the survey of her solo career. The song adds a 34th week on the Hot 100, ranking, fittingly, at No. 34 on the April 15-dated chart, and surpasses the 33 weeks that “Telephone” with Lady Gaga logged in 2009-10.

“Cuff It” was released on Beyoncé’s album Renaissance, which launched as her seventh No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last August. The set’s lead single, “Break My Soul,” became her eighth Hot 100 No. 1 the same week, while “Cuff It” reached No. 6 this February. The latter song became her 21st top 10 as a soloist, while Renaissance became her first album with multiple top 10s since I Am…Sasha Fierce in 2008-09.

Here’s a look at Beyoncé’s longest-charting Hot 100 hits:

Weeks on Hot 100, Title, Peak Pos./Year:
34, “Cuff It,” No. 6, 2023
33, “Telephone,” Lady Gaga feat. Beyoncé, No. 3, 2010

30, “Irreplaceable,” No. 1 (10 weeks), 2007-07
