Countdown peaked at 36 on pop? that's kinda good, I thought it was way lower.

Her stupid label sent it to Urban

No.

She just doesn't care about Pop anymore.

Yes. In case you didn't know, labels are the one who are supposed to promote songs to radios, book tv promo spots etc... Labels also take 50% of the profits a single makes. It is their job. If you want to be more educated about this, I'll give you a link to read about it.

This thread is about Pop Radio. Read more...

You wrote radio not pop radio in your comment. I was only reminding you that pop isn't the only radio format.

I think it's the other way around. Beyonce doesn't need pop radio.

Another thing: BEYONCÉ is about listening to an album from beginning to end, it's about experiencing the videos from beginning to end. Beyoncé posted a video about it the minute the album went on sale saying that the songs and the visuals tell a story together.
This isn't about "a quick lil single" like she said.
All her singles success are just bonus for her and money for her to tip the waitresses when she goes out to eat.

Well saying radio in general is just wrong, she has had hits on Urban and Rhythmic radio recently. Pop radio is all about if your label is willing to cut them checks. Trust me, if Columbia wanted her records played, they would have gotten them. But Bey basically said no thanks to Columbia's promo $.

Plus, it's not like if Bey cares, her last radio interview on POP was in 2008.

Came to say all of this...

They just don't get it. They really think Bey is pulling her weave out over her ****ing pop radio positions? she has 100 million more important things to worry about

[SuperLolita]

Seems like it. "Run The World (Girls)" killed her top 40 momentum.
But she's doing just fine with the minimal support that she receive from pop stations.
No passenger on ha plane indeed

If Beyonce really wanted pop play she could have it..

[Starkboy]

Lol she's mainly a urban artist tho, so nothing shocking.

Who needs pop radio support when you have everything?

Releasing singles =/= wanting hits

You as a Xtina stan should understand that.

She's into maximizing her profits now.
Another fun fact: if your single sells 5M copies, the artists only get about 565 thousands

This isn't exactly answering the question. Are you claiming she is "too mighty" for Pop music like the regular heauxs or that she DOES need them but DOESN'T want to beg for them which leaves her in a catch-22 position.

Like, i'm sure she wanted a #1 in the format right? Would've been another accolade to add to her ever-growing list. I'm always being told Beyoncé isn't a quitter, doesn't back down from a challenge. What changed?

.

Her label is ready and waiting for her to get on a promo train like a normal artist and give her music proper exposure, but she refuses
What kind of boss

[PoisonPill]

Actually her last top 10 at pop was Telephone in 2010. It's also her biggest song ever on the pop airplay charts

Hmm, so Beyoncé and the label decided to release 4 singles for....fun? the craic? #banter?

Oh, don't really get the Xtina comment bc IIRC 2/3 of Xtina's last singles have gone 3xplat but ohkay.
