She officially sent it to Urban at the end of February. It was #1 on Billboard R&B/Hip Hop songs for 7 weeks.

I remember it competing with The Motto for #1 for a couple of weeks on R&B BB, but I wasn't sure of the number of weeks.
Then you have UAC, a radio format, where it was #1 for 11. Teh KING!!!!
N***** in Paris from last night in Paris. Beyonce pulls Kelly on the opposite stage around the 1:40 mark, although you can barely see her. She's in white pants.

Album Title - Révolution
Release Date - Sept. 4, 2012 (which is a Tuesday coincidentally)
1. Révolution - A female empowerment song about standing strong and being your own woman and not letting anyone control you. Uptempo and aggressive vocals much like RTW. Tribal beats and a prominent bass, horns and electric guitar. Very crazy and off the wall type of song. Musically very different. Lead single for the album.
2. The Music - An uptempo song with a prominent synth and bass about getting lost in the music and just letting all go of your inhibitions. This song would sound like an 80's throwback more in the line of Control, but with stronger vocals. She talks about how she found her life through music, how it made her who she is and what it means to her. This is a long song and has a crazy wierd breakdown at the end and goes through 4 tempo changes; one with it sped up by 10 bpm, then 20 bmp, then slowed down 20 bpm, then sped back up and it fades out like the end of Girls.
3. Let Me Down - A dark and brooding song, first ballad of the album. Soft and stuttering drums, a whirring synth, a piano, some slight guitar riffs. Her voice is really soft and sorrow-filled throughout the song, like the beginning of Resentment. She talks about how she keeps expecting the best of her lover and he always lets her down, how she's looking out of the window expecting to see him with a bouquet of flowers and a smile, but he's let her down. She waits by the phone for him to call, but he's let her down.
4. Blue Lights - A mid-tempo dedicated to BIC, tribal drums, sort of futuristic synths. Talks about her love for her daughter and how she's so important to her and how she has a new-found perspective on life and how love has a different meaning for her and how she wants to cherish the moments she has because of Blue. She has very strong vocals, you can hear how happy she is in the song.
5. Acappella Song #5 - A song where the music is solely Beyoncé's voice. She's mimicking the drums, a piano, a guitar, some horns, and there's beautiful harmonies throughout the song. Very intricate and complex. She's singing about how she's found her soul mate and how she feels so lucky to have him in her life.
6. DanceBlood - A dance pop uptempo song with a heavy urban bass with some live elements to it, horns, more like Sweet Dreams when it's performed live. Her voice is really poppy and light, girly. She's singing about going out to have fun, she's gonna dance for blood, dance for life, dance for happiness, dance for music, dance for my baby, blood on the dance floor.
7. Smile - A mid-tempo, piano driven song about being happy and being thankful for the people in your life and just appreciating the small moments. Her voice is strong and aggressive, but not to the point where it overpowers the music. You can just feel the happiness she felt while she recorded the song. She talks about how people always try to get her down and always try to throw negativity her way, but she smiles instead and all the negativity fades away.
8. Domination - This song is really aggressive and samples Infinity Guitars by Sleigh Bells. Her voice is chopped up and very staccato like Telephone, Run The World. The Ring The Alarm of the album. She talks about how she's been dominating since she stepped on the scene; 3 other girls deep, the basic bitches can't fade her, she's the hottest in the game, just a brag song. She talks about how this is the millionth and 99 hit and she's coming for more.
9. Blast - Another uptempo song with Fela Kuti influence. The End Of Time kind of drums and horns with a crazy and goofy guitar riff. Her voice mimics the guitar riff in the background of the chorus. She sings about her travels and how it inspires her and how she loves the life she lives and she wouldn't change it for anything. She's just having a blast and learning so much about different cultures and different lifestyles.
10. Acapella Song #10 - Another acapella song, but where she was mimicking instruments solely with her voice, this one she's actually blending her voice and the brass instruments and stinged instruments; her voice blended with a synth, a horn melody, a stuttering drum pattern. Very experimental and odd. A continuation of the first acapella song.
11. Honey Luv - Funk influenced, with mainly horns, guitars, and a marching band type percussion drum. Strong vocals, talking about how she wants to make sweet love to her lover but it's not overtly sexual, just slight inuendos and such. This song would be the closest thing to Work It Out with Love On Top type vocals where she goes higher and when you think she can't go anywhere else with her voice she just keeps going during the bridge and the last chorus.
12. Journey - She talks about her journey to where she is now. Her love for her mother, Destiny's Child, her husband, her child, all of her insecurities and fears, her performing on stage and how she feels alive in doing so. This song only has a violin and a piano, so it's a ballad and she's really touched and emotional in recording it, so she has the growls and grit that we all love.
13. LoveWave - A Carribean, raggae type song with elements of Arabic and pop influences. Marimbas, steel drums, sitars, horns, xylophones, hard urban drum pattern, kinda like a marching band type song. She sings about how she found love and she's happy and it's here to last through the test of time. She doesn't want another lover, she's gonna keep him until the end, no one can put it down like him. There's no melodic structure to the song besides the huge chorus, so she's just going OFF and you can feel how deeply in love she is.

B
Release date: July 10, 2012
Genres: R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop, Jazz, Electro, Rock
Tracklist:
1. Nightmare: The song talks her fears and insecurities and how she let it all go on the dancefloor. It's an uptempo song with heavy beats, heavy bass and she raps a little bit in it. It's R&B, Pop and Hip-Hop all in one song. This one is the first huge upmtempo track out of the 5.
2. Destroy You: It has the Ring The Alarm aggression but it's much more aggressive. But instead of being a R&B song, it's more rock influenced. She screams, cusses and almost cries. The song is basically about her man cheating on her and she's sick of it and wants to destroy him.
3. Shut It Down: A huge Electro-Pop song with heavy Hip-Hop influenced beats with Love On Top kinda vocals, she goes higher and higher as the chorus continues. The song is about shutting down a party, owning everyone. In this song there are also very sick and crazy harmonies. This one is the second huge umptempo track out of the 5.
4. Baby Got It All: The song is about a very man or woman that has it all, everyone melts just looking at him/her. A 80's influenced song with a beat like this, she channels Whitney's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" on this song.
5. Living My Life: A laid back song like Party, it's about being yourself, not care about what anyone says just having fun with friends. A midtempo Pop song with some R&B influences.
6. Never Give Up: A very uplifting song, something like Survivor. It's R&B/Pop and it's just a very happy song that you can never give up even when someone tells you you can't do it. This is the first huge ballad out of the 2.
7. Boss: T-Shirt + Cater 2 U to the next level but this time the roles change, it's man who caters to his women, she's the boss. A very sexy slow R&B jam. The sexiness of Speechless and the tempo of Dance For You. There's also a breakdown at the end like Dance For You.
8. Diamonds: The song is influenced by the song Diamonds from Marilyn Monroe. She uses the line "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" in the chorus. The song is about diamonds, expensive things, loving the luxury life. It's a cute uptempo Pop song with some Jazz in it.
9. The Arena: The third big uptempo track out of the 5. It has tribal influences, heavy beats and sick vocals. There is a crazy breakdown with some Arabic influences. The song is about being told what you must do, feeling like you're constantly fighting with someone like in an arena.
10. Love (ft. Jay-Z): She talks about the journey she's been through before Blue was born. This is the only feature on the album. It's a R&B midtempo song. It's the last huge ballad on the album. It's not only about Blue, it's also just about loving each other, your friends, family and everyone that supports you.
11. Rock Your Body: The fourth big umptempo track. It's kinda like 1+1 but then uptempo. The song has R&B and Rock influences.
12. The Bomb: This is the biggest uptempo track on the album. The last out of the 5. It's a R&B/Electro-Pop with rock influences track, a huge anthem. The song is about having enough with people talking **** about you. Being sick of people constantly complaining about you. You're so mad, it's almost like you're a bomb and you are about to explode. There is a crazy breakdown in this song kinda like the breakdown of ****** In Paris but much bigger and louder. The bomb explodes at the end of the song.
