Beyoncé hasn't been down with the whole pop/mainstream single success thing for a couple of years now, shes going through some sort of mental phase idk.

Shes more than capable of releasing songs cross format, she tha crossover queen - shes turned lots of urban smashes into mainstream smashes before.

This era though: Drunk In Love went to pop 4 weeks too late, after if had killed XO. Pretty Hurts never went to pop. It was a mess, it is what it is.

7/11 will probably stay on urban, she might post something about it on Facebook. I'd love for a all format single release.. but..



maybe next era she'll do some normal single releases, maybe she'll drop the album by carrier pigeon - like who really knows with this woman

Every popgirl numbers decreased in Brazil tho...Madonna was only able to play 1/3 of what she played for before.and on top of that,Bey didn't have any new music out like the others..

The other pop girls were never a factor.

Beyonce's numbers decreased because nowadays she has 0 radio presence.

Back in the IASF days, they would play even VIDEO PHONE and BHG.

It's from the BEYONCÉ platinum edition so it's a continuation of the era.

And as for wasted singles you must not know bout Bey. She don't mess with 'quick lil singles' since 2011. Surely you've seen the iconic gif? From the same day as 'God is real.'.gif?

Oop my fault, I stand corrected then. Clearly I'm behind on my Bey education.

Ego was one of the biggest hits of the year.

watch Beyoncé troll us all and it's going to be a 3 minute club banger of her giggling the entire time

The good news is that there is a single, and that it's not a double release!

Also, nobody sends urban songs to pop right off the bat. They'll flop. Pop radio only plays urban songs with traction. Drunk in Love would've rose and fell on pop.

They were playing it when it was first released cause his team sent it to them. It's whatever. I just don't understand why after all this time she's doing the urban/pop radio thing when it makes more sense to just send it to all.

And yes, we know we're getting an urban song, so all y'all stating the obvious can find a seat. We're just stating that she can still send the song to both formats. Some of y'all will defend her for ANYTHING. Glad I just don't blind stan.

!!

Excited to hear the song tho.

I can't understand people on here when they type like they are 10 years old.

"A SONG to radios no matter if it's urban leaning or pop."

Beyoncé sends songs to radio… that's why this thread was made. You are mad it wasn't sent to Pop, which is pointless since Urban music is dominating now and Beyoncé clearly wants an Urban era.

I type like a 10 years old or you can't seem to understand simple facts? I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. And you know why? Not because I want a pop song or because she's not going to send 7/11 to mainstream radio. Because she seems to ignore that she has fans outside the US-same as you. So she's going to send 7/11 to US urban radio on the 25th. What about the rest of the world? She should send 7/11 to worldwide radios as well. If not why she plans a worldwide release for the album? She should keep it plain and simple in the US. On the 25th you'll be all excited and boping in your cars listening to every radio station playing her new song. I expect to feel the same since I'm her fan too. That's my point of view, you have yours. You obviously have no idea about music outside the borders of the US.

I feel like Beyonce stans need to accept that their fave is stubborn and will not be playing the game normally. I'm not saying it's right/correct, but she clearly believes that pop radio isn't a necessity and that she will be fine making urban songs and only sending them to urban formats. I think it's a waste because certain songs (Partition and Blow) could've done well on pop had she done a "normal" release. But Beyonce won't be budging any time. Until her album sales or popularity takes a hit she's going to keep doing this.

The only confusing thing is why she keeps making songs that are clearly meant to smash on pop, and then either 1) does nothing with them 2) let's them flop. Why bring down a great album like BEYONCE with bad to okay pop songs (Pretty Hurts, XO) and then do nothing with them?

I agree with you, but XO is amazing.

I love you for that.

[Lose My Breath]

If the song becomes big enough, it will crossover, if not, just enjoy it and bop!

FYI - Drunk peaked at #13 on pop radio without ever having an adds date

XO with an adds date peaked at #18
