Its easily one of the best pop ballads of the decade.

Does the songs failure mean top 40 doesnt matter?

Doesnt prove payola is real and Beyonce is above kissing asses as she said in her legend documentary?

I think so.

"XO" is not a very good song

I seriously don't know how this flopped

it's a great song

Radio stopped playing it when she stopped promoting it.

It's her fault.

She didn't promote, and hadn't had a radio presence in how long?

...and it was overshadowed by DIL.

I literally only like four Beyonce songs and this is one of them.

The lead single didn't get any promotion, especially since the album was a surprise release

Payola was stopped in 2005. Other than radio deals and "Artist You Oughtta Know," it isn't that prevalent.

XO flopping while Drunk In Garbage did well is one of the biggest injustices of the decade.

I don't really think it matters that much..
They're forever spamming this song on our campus radio (lol)

No. She sabotaged it with DIL, which is sad since DIL is garbage and XO is one of the greatest love songs of all time.

Promo is ********. Plenty of songs chart high without promo. See Rihannas Work.

TOP 40 made an intentional decision to not play it. Same for Pretty Hurts.

Top 40 is anti Beyonce. Thats why ATRL bringing up her lack of hits is ********. Shes pretty much blacklisted by musics biggest market.

A modern day Britney circa 2001.

I really hate XO, it is such a basic song.

Drunk In Love deservedly overshadowed it.

I'll never forgive her for letting XO flop

The song sucks
