It's still being cannibalized by the album, which is 12 days old at this point. There have only been news items about the album, there are no news outlets being broadcast to the "GP" telling them that XO is a single. You're trying to compare singles that were released and promoted individually before their respective album releases to a campaign that was done entirely in reverse. It doesn't make sense to expect a single to take off instantly when all the focus is on the album instead of the single. It would actually be bad for Beyonce's campaign if people were just buying the single and not buying the album. That would kind of ruin the point. You're trying to make a judgement on it's success far too early, and ignoring every other factor of the release.
And in the internet age, she doesn't have to perform at a specific country's The Voice. She just needs a few good performances that go decently viral, and some more climbing on radio.
And even if the singles do flop, the campaign is still already more of a success than just about everyone else's this year 12 days in. Singles are meant to promote the album. If you're selling albums so well that singles are redundant, that's a pretty wonderful situation to be in.
I swear Blurred Lines was sitting around longer than that, hm.
This is my second day listening to this 24/7 pop station w/ no commercials and still no Xtina songs.
I've literally listened to it from sunrise to sunset for these past two days and they've played Miley, Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, Avril, Miley, P!nk, Katy, Selena, Ellie Goulding...and basically everyone else. But no Xtina. The closest they came was Feel This Moment. Not even Beautiful.

She really is forgotten.
I heard Beautiful today and I, for some odd reason, couldn't remember that it was by her and what song it was [I detest ballads] and I thought it was Fergie.

Were you listening to AC? Cause I rarely hear it on pop radio. Come to think of it, I rarely hear older hits on radio unless they were HUGE. Her nonexistence on radio may just be due to the fact that she hasn't had a proper individual hit since Stripped. hehe.
The world is so much cleaner and better without this thing. Hope it gets raped by devils in hell every day.
This picture is honestly disgusting. I remember when he died and everyone was so shocked. But what did they expect? Addiction to drugs, plastic surgery and children is certain to result in early death.
Doesn't it have a 50-something on Metacritic?
