You can't fully blame it on her pregancy. Radio is not pulling through (yet) with this ERA. It may have been the "bad" start with RTW but she definitely should be getting more spins by now even without the promo as other eras have had

I partially blame radio tho because Beyonce should be getting spins based off her name alone. She's EARNED that right. That mess with Saturday Night Online talking about needing to "warm up" to "Countdown" & a radio programmer or whatever calling her irrelevant is just...

The music they have been playing had gotten to their head. They want to put themselves in a box to play what they consider the "hot" tracks.

But seriously,the IASF was perfection ..she fired her manager.

Now,the 4 era is a mess since april,she has yet to fire somebody at Flopwood l dont get it

Those hormones will get to her soon They aren't backing up Bey's work ethic, even when she is pregnant and still going

Please,she could have fired the person who leaked RTW & EOT then maybe the album wouldnt leaked.She kept the incompetent morons in the team. period

how do you know that person is on her team? Martian Leaks or whatever said himself that Sony puts their artist's music on an easily hackable database.

And stuff leaks all the time. Hold It Against Me. Britney's whole album. Judas. Gaga's whole album (which she leaked herself to beat the hackers). I mean...

With Bey being preggo, the most important aspect of promotion for the album, Beyoncé herself, has been tooken away. But I do agree with what you said in the other thread. Radio should be playing Bey based on her name alone. Not because she made some ****** dance music.

Yea, but a pregnant woman can call in to a radio station to give a quick phone interview. Unless it's a big award show like the VMAs, late night and morning talk show performances are nearly irrelevant.

She sure as hell had no problem promoting Pulse like it was a new album.

You know what I think actually I am SURE that all these decisions were hers, whether we are talking B'Day era, IASF or even DIL's eras because there is the same pattern and the same mistakes. Like you say the difference here is that she thought that because she was the one deciding which singles will be released, how will the video go, what will be the budget, which songs she would put on her album..etc, she could do it all by herself. And God she is wrong because let's face it, Matthew was not maybe an extraordinary manager (the proof is that Bey was his only succesful artist and since she is gone, he hasn't done much lately) but he was always cleaning up behind her, like release press conferences, when **** goes down with Aretha and Etta, he releases a statement, he knew how to deal with radio's stations and stuff.

Bey did a very courageous move getting rid of her daddy, she should just have picked a younger and a better manager than him but NOT her! She can't do all of it!

!!!! exactly.

what did you say?

I really think the reason this era's singles have been underperforming is due to the bad managing of them, and also when the RTW demo leaked! Its unfortunate cause that demo leak gave the whole era such a negative vibe. RTW should of never been a single, but I'm glad she took a risk in releasing it. But they should of came up with a better plan B for single #2, this era would be much different. "End of Time" had such hype around it, and was a clear fan favorite, would of been perfect for the summer, but they chose to go with BTINH instead! And they let 3 months past before releasing another single, when BTINH was clearly done on pop radio! But enough with the coulda woulda should of's, this era is done on pop radio, which is fine cause the album is still selling well without the support from them. We should just enjoy the music, Elements of 4 DVD, and video anthology! We all know Bey could make a generic album full of radio hits if she wanted to!

I told her that my local station was Z100 and I don't like that they're not playing my favorite song and I didn't feel like listening to them anymore and if they had plans to add CD to the playlist in the future. She said sorry, but most likely they will.

I also said I always request it but no play, she said those online request via mediabase don't work or are ignored hdflafjdhhdffdfdk

EDIT: She also gave me this email to tell them to add it: [email protected]

And be nice

Someone told me this on 4Bey..I tried to tell the gurls on twitter but they wanted "official" receipts.

[UhOh]

Ladies ladies ladies (and gentlemen).

Why are we dissecting this era limb-to-limb?
This is an era for tha fans, even Beyonce said so. Charts are of no importance this era, and she made that clear. She knew this since she was pregnant while the era began. Being fans we should take '4' as a blessing and a gift. And await for the resurection of good music and the life of the "Beyonce #1's" to come. Amen.

I hope now everybody knows. Sorry for your semi-breakdown DG1.

[carameldelight]

please don't get mad at me for saying what I feel. I just want to get some frustrations out that have been bottled up inside.

yall don't know how frustrating it was to see Beyonce promoting her perfume more than the album..I'm sorry but I just don't get her this era. I don't care about the #1 singles or whatever but I at least expected her to have a stable single on radio and releasing a great video for each one she releases. I feel like everything is being rushed out with little thought into the actual concepts. This album deserves so much more and it's frustrating to see people not recognizing that. I just hope the grammys don't treat this album like bday. I know she's said she's over being a pop star so maybe she thinks these radio interviews and stuff isn't worth it but if your songs aren't being played on radio how can she become the legend she deserves to be? I hope this is just a mishap and things will turn around but it's been 5 months already.

I don't know if radio only wants dance music because they sure play the hec out of adele but then again radio isn't here for Taylor this era either so who knows. Their albums are slaying regardless and I want the same for Bey. I'm tired of hearing some radio personalities and tv show hosts getting smart and calling bey irrelevant or having a waning career. I hope Beyonce isn't putting to much stress on herself by trying to do everything and that she can get the help if she needs it or fire the people who aren't doing their jobs right.

and colombia..wtf.

I think we realize ALL radio requests are ignored at this point.

[pink.hearts]

lowkey I never even really understood the point of requesting. Ultimately the radio stations are just going to play what they want.
