Leaked “Beyonce” Track List Was “Completely Made Up,” Says Parkwood GM

Columbia RecordsEarlier this week, fans rejoiced after a track list for Beyonce’s upcoming album surfaced online. However, the information that circulated was false, says Lee Anne Callahan-Longo, general manager of Beyonce’s Parkwood Entertainment.

In an interview with Billboard, Callahan-Longo clarifies that the recent announcement of a “Platinum Edition” of Beyonce will arrive later this month, but it won’t include the tracks on the fabricated list, which suggested that Beyonce scored a collaboration with Justin Timberlake on a made-up song called “Renouncement.”

“It’s completely made up,” Callahan-Longo says. “After all the hubbub this weekend, we kind of said, ‘Well, let’s just put it out and say what it is.’ It’s funny, I got a bunch of calls over the weekend and I would say, ‘It’s exciting to know people are excited.’ Even if they’re reporting it wrong, and that people would take their time to go and create a fake one-sheet — right down to using a Columbia logo on it. I would love to know who did it. They clearly knew what a line sheet used to look like — they don’t look like that anymore.”

She also addressed the likelihood of Beyonce releasing another surprise album without the traditional roll out. “You can only be first once, so I’m not sure we’d want to do it again,” Callahan-Longo says. “We typically at Parkwood like to look at projects where, if it isn’t unique or different in some way, it’s really not interesting to us.”

Meanwhile, fans can expect Beyonce’s  album to arrive November 24. The four-disc project will include two CDs with two original cuts – “7/11” and “Ring Off” — and two DVDs.
