Who could have thought that Queen B's recent album announcement would spark people's interest in 15th-century European history?
Since Beyonce announced that the name of her upcoming album would be "Renaissance," Google had a massive spike in searches about the historical period, or just maybe more details about the album.
Little much is known about Bey's upcoming effort, but with the buzz, it comes with - it would certainly be a banger, considering this would be her first album in six years.
Beyonce's 'Renaissance' Generated MASSIVE Google Search Spike
After major hints were dropped in the past few days, Beyonce finally confirmed that her seventh studio album would hit the ground soon.
Last Jun. 16, 2022, the online world was kept abuzz after the release date, and the album title was announced. "Renaissance," Beyonce's next album, will be released on Jul. 29, 2022.
TMZ initially reported that for the past days, the Google search for the word "Renaissance" had doubled - thanks to the recent announcement of Queen B.
Aside from this, phrases like "renaissance definition" reportedly doubled in search quantities per Google - which begs the question, what does Renaissance actually mean, and what could that mean in Beyonce's music?
Simply speaking, the Renaissance was a period of European cultural, artistic, political, and economic "rebirth" following the Middle Ages. Historians described the era to be between the 14th - 17th century, wherein the greatest thinkers, artists, and scientists in human history thrived. (via History)

The title for Beyonce's next album is quite befitting of its release date since it would have been six years ago since she last released a new album. This could mean that the upcoming effort is a "rebirth" on her sound or music, or maybe her "rebirth" in the music scene altogether.
Nothing much is known about the album yet. Although reports have indicated that the album would have country and dance songs on the mix, although it was never confirmed yet.
One Republic's Ryan Tedder is also reportedly working on the songwriting aspect of the upcoming project, considering that she has worked with Beyonce before on many songs.
Some fans also suggest that because Beyonce's website says "Act 1" drops on Jul. 29, 2022, it could mean that there might be more music underway; thus a double album, or it could just mean that the first half of the album would drop then, and the remaining ones on a later date.
