Discussion: Is Beyoncé's radio power back?

YR.

Drunk In Love and XO are doing great on radio and DIL just got the biggest update of the day on mediabase. Considering the 4 era, is her power on radio finally back?

Smooth Criminal

Drunk In Love is SLAYING.

Yes, she is regaining her power.

She's slaying radio without having a clear channel deal. Everything is happening organically and the songs will grow like their suppose to.

No. Considering how this could be considered new music since the IASF to many people, I think you'd have to wait for the radio updates for the rest of the singles from BEYONCE in order to judge properly.

Bee․

Urban Radio will always have her back. Pop is warming back up to her slowly.

Let's see where they peak

Yes and let me throw the fact that she was the Radio Artist of the Decade (2000-2009).

Yeah, because 4 didn't sell 3 million copies. Drag, I guess

Urban/Rhythmic radio loved her even in 4 days. XO is struggling a bit on pop, so I don't get it.

Beyonce, who`?
is she a local singer?

This. And I believe she is the biggest pop girl in recurrent airplay. Does someone have the receipts?

I truly believe that this era she will be huge on radio and will regain pop spins

As far as I remember Rhytmic didn't touch anything from 4. It was Urban and Urban AC only. So, that's something.

Beyy

The power has always been there. Her older songs were still massive even during the '4' era. The fact '4' did not deliver huge radio successes is because those songs weren't really meant to be big radio hits.

Reaper

No or just not yet.

3 million copies sold of an album doesn't translate into radio power. Your thread was asking about singles/songs sent to radio, not album purchases.

Best Thing I Never Had and Love On Top were tailored made for radio.
And for the music climate back then, RTW, a club banger, was pretty much set for radioplay as well.

Btinh/love on top/RTW were taylor made for radio during the height of EDM in pop music?!?!

Fruity

Not on pop. Which is where she lost it.

This doesn't make any sense. BTINH & LOT were both top 20 hits. Meaning people knew album them and that 4 held the #1 spot for 2 weeks. You and your WEAK shade.
