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 don't blame her for not being bothered with pop radio.Especially after what she went through during the 4 era. The amount of ass kissing and radio payola that goes on, just to get airplay is ridiculous. She clearly expressed her feelings on this, in the LIBD documentary.
I'm just gonna wait and see what the full plan is before I complain. I doubt she'd release an urban single just in the US and a few international countries w/ urban formats and leave other countries hanging. idk why I feel like it's gonna be a dual release.

I believe the dual release is possible. I refuse to believe she'll treat her worldwide fans like that. I'm waiting for the announcement.
