Beyonce's new album is apparently going to land on streaming service Tidal on Friday and the collaborations are rumoured to be a huge deal. Twitter has exploded with tweets from excited fans who are sharing a picture that supposedly shows the tracklist. If you haven't already set some time aside for your own private listening party, this is your advance warning.
If it's genuine, then the new 16-track album will be crammed full of A-List performers like Adele, Nicki Minaj, Frank Ocean, Jay Z and Mariah Carey. And the potential tracks could have pretty interesting names too, such as "Lemonade Taste", "Locked Up Away From Me" and "Get Away Ride From Hell". Some of Queen B's fans are losing it a bit over the announcement, with one tweeting a crying Oprah Winfrey with the words "please I'm so ready", and others joking they'll "pray it into existence".
Not everyone was convinced though, with a few eagle-eyed people pointing out that would mean the initial release date is April Fool's day. It's no secret that excitement has been building to epic proportions in recent months because there have been plenty of rumours flying around.
In the last few weeks, fans also noticed her iTunes page went down and then 18 hidden videos were listed on Beyonce's VIVO page. And there are still those rumours about Cara Delevingne's cameo in a Bey video, since she Instagrammed a snap of her hand on a studio mixing board that matches Beyoncé's. It's even been said that US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton could pop up in one of the singer's videos, as the magazine US Weekly reported she made an on-set visit in Los Angeles last week.
Beyonce is no stranger to springing music releases on everyone, as she's done it before for her self-titled album in 2013, and for Formation, which dropped suddenly the night before her Super Bowl performance. The timing would also fit with the start of her world tour at the end of April too, so it's expected she'd put something out before that kicks off.
