Pretty Hurts is getting airplay for Urban A.C...Partition is being picked up heavily on Urban.
Partition need to be sent officially in March. Blow needs to be the summer single. Pretty Hurts can come in September. Mine is the final US/Canada single and Haunted can be the final international single.
Rocket can always smash on Urban A.C.
Flawless has impacted as much as it will honestly
If she still has momentum after the final singles then just release SOTS with a video for the fans
PH for September? PH should be the next single..it is clearly the album seller.it should be released after the European tour end..and it will obviously open the doors for BLOW.the album will be hitting 3 million in 3 weeks.and I think PH gots what it take to keep the album stable...
The singles which will be easy crossover hits are Pretty Hurts and Mine. Both pop and urban radios worship Drake recently. Blow and Partition will be risky. They'll either pull off a DrIL or an XO.
I don't think Blow is too risky. Sure, it's sexual but, it's also playful.
This was a risky album. I'm not here for being cookie cutter about whats best to send where or if something is a risk. If she's going to make such an explicit album and it be embraced so much then why go with singles that dont represent the album.
Drunk In Love has been received miles better than XO. Partition charted higher than PH when they were released IIRC. And its already gaining on Urban.
Blow (even though its in the lower half for me) represents the album and I'm sure it'll smash.
People want to hear something fresh. And I feel like 3 straight sexual songs from Beyonce would be amazing. Pretty Hurts is more of a risk seeing as a pop ballad from Bey just flopped.
And I gave up on the old Bey when it comes to promo. I'm sure she has too

Its really not fair to compare DIL to any of the other songs chart success for obvious reasons...PH WILL DESTROY DIL....
I don't understand the fascination with XO on atrl.It's such a bland song and not up to Bey's standard so I'm not surprised that it flopped in virtually every country it was released in, despite the substantial amount of airplay it received.
We need to realise that Bey is at her finest when she does urban.She's very lucky to be among the few can cross over to pop with an urban single.so I will be fine with whatever songs she picks as a follow up to Dril.
Beyonce last 3 singles have gave her last 3 albums longevity.and after the third single she really didn't have to release anymore singles..why she did,I don't know..
The fact is that Pretty Hurts has been selling really well worldwide when the album dropped. That means that the potential is there. Not to mention that in my opinion the video is EVERYTHING. Honestly I can see Partition doing really well in the US. But worldwide? Not so sure. And for Christ sake no more dual releases. My poor XO
