Currently, Drunk In Love is making slow gains on pop and following in DH's footsteps. Will we see another Uncle-DH situation with XO? I hope not, but I just want to see what Aye Tee Are Elle thinks.
for reference, and if performed at grammys I think XO can reach top 30 but if DIL is performed I think it can go top 10, I really dont know it seems like its following in DH footsteps
XO should've been a bonus track tbh. Whoever said it would be a good single choice should choke on bleach.
Not too much now
But yes, I was more than fine with Blow as the original first single. I felt it would work better with album hype and XO would have did better later on during spring/summer. You all never listen and begged for XO to be the pop single.
I think the label would have taken a risk by releasing "Drunk in Love" as the first single. Seeing as how pop radio paid Bey dust her last era, I think they chose a sound that would be safe for pop radio. No one predicted that DIL would be a smash waiting to happen. I think the public is here for her naughty image as opposed to her being Americas sweetheart all over again. I think Sunday should be the ultimate test. Perform both and let the general public decide. If DIL is the clear winner, sadly XO has to go. Bey needs to dominate the singles chart again.
