Beyonce fanswho bought her latest album on vinyl and CD, were in for an unpleasant surprise as five of her new songs were missing!

The singer’s new album “Cowboy Carter” was released on Friday, March 29, 2024, with many critics calling it a “masterpiece”. It is Beyonce’s eighth studio album, the second in a planned trilogy that began with 2022’s ‘Renaissance’.

Over the weekend, buyers began reporting that five tracks that were on the digital version of the country album were missing from the vinyl: ‘Flamenco’, ‘Oh Louisiana’, ‘The Linda Martell Show’, ‘Spaghetti’ and the special ‘Ya Ya’.

The same tracks are reportedly missing from the CD, except for ‘Flamenco’.

“It’s such a shame because ‘Ya Ya’ is probably up there in my top five favorite songs right now … I’m quite displeased”said one TikTok user.

“It seems that several songs from the album are not included on the LP. Why is this happening?!”another fan wrote on Reddit.

Many buyers requested a refund. Variety reported that fans who complained directly to the retailer received an automated response saying their concerns would be answered in three to four days due to a “high volume of emails than usual.”

Many speculated that the singer added these songs late in the making of the album. Some believe that ‘Cowboy Carter’ was originally titled ‘Beyincé’, a reference to her ancestral surname, which was misspelled as Beyonce on her mother’s birth certificate.
