Everyone knew the song already. It had over 2/3 weeks of airplay already...

Yes but we are talking about NOW.

Releasing to iTunes the day of or a few days after release is what artists do.

The Bey stans are so hilarious. What happened to the comments last week "There is so much hype! Radio is spinning the demo! Bey is causing such an uproar on the internet! They aren't ready! She's going to slay so bad"! The people that needed to know, know.

Rihanna released Only Girl a few days after it leaked, it flew to #1 on iTunes.
Katy released Cali Gurls a day after it leaked, it flew to #1 and stayed there for months.
Katy released Teenage Dream the day it leaked and it flew to #1 on iTunes
GaGa released Born This Way the day it leaked....
Judas....
Hold It Against Me
Till The World Ends
We R Who We R

Every big artist lead single/2nd single was released the day of or a day or two after leak and they ALL flew to #1 on iTunes.

Why can't Bey do it? This is underperforming. The song has a HUGE main banner, anyone who opens the iTunes store (and millions and millions do every week), will see that Beyonce has a new song.

The performance/video has to be out of this world.

No, we all hate it, that's why we rated it 1 star on iChunes.

I cant make a fair judgement because I need time with this song. I tend to be super judgmental and either overrate or underrate songs like most people do when there is an aura surrounding it. Ask me this 6 months to a year from now and I can answer it honestly.

But for now Deja Vu > Crazy In Love > Single Ladies.

I agree with your ranking so far.

Whew LAWD, I JUST finished pop.

IDK if I'll be able to request tomorrow since technically right now is tomorrow (past 1AM) & you're only allowed a request per day to the stations. I think.

LOL. I know sales real well. That 382k was CHRISTMAS week. Everyone sold 300-400k. GaGa sold 420k.

What the **** does that have to do with Single Ladies which clearly gained based on promo? NOTHING.

Originally posted by Jennifer

We don't know how much Girls sold but I can bet you it won't be good. Less than 100k, that's for sure.

Okay, we'll see now want we, if you're still here that is.

You are clearly pressed and butt hurt over the fact that this song is underperforming. Go request or something.

There is no need to insult me or throw flamebait, that is very unappreciated and it hurt my feelings.

2 point combo coming up.

All these #s, percentages, chart histories, request links and regional twitter accounts are nice, but what about the song? Do you guys like it? How does it stack up against Crazy In Love? Deja Vu? Single Ladies?

I love it. I never really even cared about the things you mentioned until I began to venture onto the music forums.

In comparison to her other singles, I don't really have a preference.

Ok...
Britney has a HUGE stanbase (vs Beyonce having a bigger casual fanbase nowadays, I think) that'll make anything go #1 for at least a week. Whether alberm, single, or tampon line.
Katy, Rihanna, Ke$ha... those girls can barely go platinum & have a hard time going double platinum with their albums. They appeal to the 14 year old that sit on iChunes waiting for their songs to be released but can't drive a car to Best Buy to pick up the album.
Gaga is hot right now and has bandwagon stans that can get her the alberm sales & the iChunes rocket #1s.

Beyonce does have huge hype around her or her song wouldn't have 13k votes in 3 days & the other stanbases wouldn't be working so hard to shoot this song down. Beyonce ain't doing **** right now. Columbia ain't doing **** except putting pretty turban pics of Beyonce on iTunes. Also, for a lot of Bey stans such as myself this is our first time buying a single rather than just a whole album. We're getting our feet wet with this stuff but some others are still opposed to it, opting not to buy the single & just waiting on the album to be released. So far the performance of the song is dependent on the Beyhive coming together and pushing for it. NONE of us expected this song to rocket to #1, but we're working as hard as we can until Beyonce stops riding camels in France and actually gets on her ****.

Now request Jennifer.

She's finished.

Yes, I'm loving the stats and facts thrown throughout this thread. Keep 'em, comin'.
