It worries me that after breaking records, setting the internet on a frenzy, & getting countless media coverage for this release, radio is STILL sleeping on her music. I heard over 20+ mentions about her album on the radio, & only heard Drunk In Love once

Beyonce' On the Radio:
Through Saturday (Dec. 14), the first two singles from the album have begun receiving airplay. The urban-leaning "Drunk in Love," featuring Jay Z, drew 311 first-day plays across 70 stations monitored by Nielsen BDS. Rhythmic WBQT Boston led with 17 plays, followed by rhythmic WQHT and mainstream R&B/hip-hop WWPR New York (13 each).
Meanwhile, more pop-oriented single "Blow" tallied 87 first-day plays, championed most by rhythmic KPTT Denver (13 plays). Early major-market airplay has come from rhythmic KPWR Los Angeles and mainstream top 40 WKSC Chicago.
"Beyonce is bigger than a single. Beyonce has created a movement," CBS Radio VP of urban programming Reggie Rouse told Billboard. "She just kills it. She is the standard. Beyonce made every radio station, blog, TV station react to what she did."
