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:

The 10th edition of the iHeartRadio Music Awards aired live from Los Angeles Monday night on Fox. Having been nomianted in 6 categories, Beyoncé won R&B Album of the Year for "Renaissance". Congratulations!

Beyoncé has a new collaborator: French luxury fashion house Balmain.

The singer, who appears on the April cover of Vogue France, announced on Friday that she has co-created a Balmain haute couture collection with Olivier Rousteing, Balmain’s creative director.

Renaissance Couture by Beyoncé x Balmain includes 16 couture outfits dedicated to the 16 songs on Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning Renaissance album.

“Thank you @olivier_rousteing and @balmain for bringing RENAISSANCE to life in couture,” Beyoncé wrote on Instagram. “Designing alongside you was freeing — thank you for allowing me to celebrate the human form, to take artistic risks, to push boundaries and to freely express myself.”

“To the @voguefrance team, thank you for trusting in our vision and sharing it with the world,” she added.

Beyoncé and Adidas are breaking up.

A source close to the situation tells The Hollywood Reporter that the Grammy-winning entrepreneur and the German lifestyle brand have mutually agreed to part ways.

In 2018, Beyoncé entered a creative partnership with Adidas, where she relaunched her Ivy Park activewear line and also developed new footwear and apparel for the brand.

But there has apparently been major creative differences between Ivy Park and Adidas, and Beyoncé is excitedly looking to reclaim her brand, chart her own path and maintain creative freedom.

The 2023 NAACP Image Awards is announcing winners in several non-televised categories via streaming presentations all week long leading up to the live ceremony.

On Monday night, Beyoncé took home the most awards, including outstanding female artist, outstanding soul/R&B song for “Cuff It” and outstanding album for Renaissance.

Congratulations!

Beyoncé, Berry Gordy, Clive Davis, Anita Baker and George Clinton are among 60 nominees for the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame Class of 2023.

More than 230 artists and others have been inducted since 2013. The roster includes James Brown, Prince, B.B. King, The Temptations, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Jackie Wilson and Whitney Houston.

Beyoncé’s “Cuff It” charges 15-6 for a new Billboard Hot 100 high, besting its prior No. 10 peak. It tallied 55.8 million in airplay audience (up less than 1%), 9.4 million streams (up 37%) and 78,000 sold (up 4,026%, good for the chart’s top Sales Gainer nod), fueled by a range of remixes released during the tracking week, joining its previously available original clean and explicit versions: its “Wetter” remix (clean and explicit) was put up for purchase on Beyoncé’s official webstore Feb. 3, followed by its a cappella (clean and explicit) and instrumental versions (Feb. 5), with all mixes released wide on streaming services and digital retailers by Feb. 8. The track becomes her 10th No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, where it blasts 44-1 (surpassing its prior No. 4 high).

To help as many concertgoers get tickets as possible for Renaissance World Tour, the tour is adding new shows in Atlanta (8/14); Las Vegas (8/27); and Inglewood, CA (9/4).

Unique access codes will be sent to Verified Fans who were previously waitlisted and did not receive a code for these cities during the BeyHive and Citi Verified Fan Presales, and Verified Fan Onsale as determined by a lottery-style selection.

Demand is still expected to exceed supply. Please remember, receiving a code doesn't guarantee tickets.

Originally released in 1979 with its sights set on enhancing the visibility of runners at dawn and dusk, the adidas Nite Jogger has since been reserved for a myriad of disparate collaborative efforts from Twitch streamer Ninja to Beyonce’s widely-adorned IVY PARK line. Having kicked off the new year with a revamped adidas Top Ten 2000, Queen B’s revered brand is now returning to the iconic adi running silhouette, albeit with an outdoorsy twist.

Following a four-year hiatus, IVY PARK returned in 2020 with a slew of Three-Stripes models, including a mass influx in the now lifestyle-reflective model. Three years later, the brand harkens back to the 80s-synonymous silhouette with an adventurous aesthetic, surrounding its greyscale upper stitched with bright orange accents in an allover semi-translucent rubberized cage. Ditching its mid-foot stripes for a simplistic, clad upper, the mudguard’s suede textile dawns a contrasting ever-so-light grey and olive composition. Lightened by faded pink quarter overlays, the tongue’s plush construction features an additional sampling of olive with embossed cream tabs while underfoot, the revitalized ensemble renders a crisp white BOOST midsole with hits of orange and pink finishing along the tread.

While we await further release details, enjoy official images of the IVY PARK x adidas Nite Jogger 7.0 below in the meantime.

Release Date: Feb 9th, 2023 (Thursday)
Womens: $170

A capella and instrumental versions of "Cuff It" are now available on Shop Beyonce along with the album version and the previously released Wetter Remix.

Beyoncé attended the 65th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 5, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. With her four wins for Best Dance/Electric Recording (“Break My Soul”), Best Dance/Electronic Music Album (“Renaissance”), Best Traditional R&B Performance (“Plastic Off the Sofa”) and Best R&B Song (“Cuff It”), the singer became the most awarded artist in Grammys history, with a record 32 wins. Bey took to her Instagram to thank for the awards:

"We won 3 y’all!

To my Hive, thank y’all so much for all of your love and loyalty! Big thank you for the BREAK MY SOUL and CUFF IT wins!!! To The Dream, Tricky, HOV, and Big Freedia. I love y’all!

Syd, I’ve always been such a fan of yours. Thank you.

Nova Wav, Morten Ristorp, Raphael Saadiq, and Nile Rodgers, thank you for pouring into CUFF IT.

Big thanks to Sabrina Claudio, Nick Green and Patrick Paige II. PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA is my favorite song on RENAISSANCE most days. It’s hard to pick though. Haaa.

It feels great to be honored for the vocal performance. Thank you to all the talented vocalists who killed those beautiful TikTok renditions!

I feel very grateful and filled with joy!"

Beyoncé has announced her first tour since 2018 — and while fans are thrilled, some of her former dancers might be sweating.

“With a world tour comes a whole new staff and that includes the dancers, bandmates and backup singers. It’s out with the old and in with the new,” pointed out one insider.

“Her last tour was the ‘On The Run Tour II’ back in 2018 with Jay-Z. So she will be sure to deliver– but with a new tour comes a brand new staff so she has been auditioning a whole new team.”

The diva’s “Renaissance” tour will kick off its North American leg on July 8 in Toronto, we previously reported, with subsequent stops in US cities including Chicago, New York City, Boston, Atlanta, Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston and New Orleans, among others..

“The old dancers are free to audition once again to regain their spots but Beyoncé will be more open to fresh new young talent taking on the reigns,” said an entrainment source.

“She is looking for young women and men — and also a few new band members as well — to take on the new positions on her team.”

Beyoncé is full of surprises. After announcing her highly anticipated “Renaissance World Tour” earlier this week, she has shocked fans again, but this time with the drop of “CUFF IT (Wetter Remix).”

The remix to the fan-favorite record was released on Friday (Feb. 3). Where the original album cut of “CUFF IT” is upbeat, Beyoncé opted to slow it down, making the already sexually suggestive song that much more sexy and sultry.

The track is a mashup of Queen Bey’s original vocals and the instrumental to Twista’s 2009 hit, “Wetter.” The Grammy Award-winning artist upped the ante by adding additional ad-libs and new lyrics at the top of the song. On it, she sings: “Baby make it rain/ Don’t let go till it storms again/ I pray this will never end.”

DJ Esentrik is behind the new cut. As the remix was released to Beyoncé’s website, he tweeted, “Soooo I’ve been hiding this for a while and now I can finally say it! ‘CUFF IT (WETTER REMIX)’ IS OFFICIAL! Thank you to Beyoncé, Parkwood, and most importantly the DJs and fans that supported this from the start! Love to all!”

As most of the BeyHive is probably aware, the popular DJ is known for doing creative mashups of popular hits. He first merged “CUFF IT” and “Wetter” in October, and it instantly blew up on TikTok, where the “CUFF IT” challenge has been thriving for months. Twista also acknowledged the release of the remix. In a tweet, he wrote, “Happy Friday,” while sharing a link to the track.

Her new remixed offering is only available via her website, so click here to check out Bey’s flawless vocals.

Beyoncé has added seven extra North American dates to her ‘Renaissance’ world tour.

Pre-sales for tickets began on February 2 and in response to “incredible fan demand”, the singer will play extra shows in Toronto, Chicago, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles and East Rutherford.

Demand in certain cities exceeded available ticket numbers by over 800 per cent.

Registration for the BeyHive pre-sale for Group B and Group C cities is still open at beyonce.livenation.com.

As with previous tours, Beyoncé will make her mark offstage, too, with BeyGOOD, the initiative she founded in 2013 to support people and programs around the world. BeyGOOD will continue its legacy of philanthropy, building out this focus on economic equity by supporting organizations that serve marginalized and underserved communities with access to scholarships, opportunities for internships that lead to job placement, and resources to support entrepreneurship.

In various cities throughout the tour, BeyGOOD will support entrepreneurs through Black Parade Route luncheons, celebrating small business owners, with grant opportunities being awarded and a foray of services with global partners to promote business sustainability. One thousand small businesses will be supported with a commitment totaling one million dollars.

BeyGOOD will also support students through scholarship funds that will be given to colleges and universities in ten different cities along the tour. Each school will be given one hundred thousand dollars and will select the student recipients. BeyGOOD’s total scholarship commitment during RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR will be one million dollars.

Working with Beyoncé and the BeyGOOD Foundation, Citi and Verizon will purchase 100 tickets combined in each market across the U.S. touring leg for distribution to local community initiatives.
