OMG YESSS

Ahhh, it makes sense that XO would be saved for 2nd single in order to save momentum.

I see the singles going:

01 - Blow/Drunk In Love
02 - XO
03 - Mine

They could do 'Pretty Hurts' if they wanted a safe, generic single, but I think Beyonce's beyond that point now.

YAAAAAAAAASSS

but Blow

I like the choices.
