Why are we fans so desperate for her to have a hit right now? Why is this so necessary? Not every song and album is meant to go so mainstream and become a huge success.

She is doing something far more important than having hits. She reminds people that pop music can be made with live instruments, authentic beats, perfect vocals, and passion. She doing something different, something that she wants and more importantly something that's not generic dance noise.

Stop comparing her to other artists and measuring who has more success? She's been in the game for 15 years with her first #1 being in 1999 (if we don't count "No,No,No" in 1997) and her last being in 2009. Beyonce is all about quality and longevity.

Enjoy the ride, respect other artists and don't be mad if this era isn't so successful as her previous 3. She is managing herself after all and I don't think that her main goal is to have #1 hits right now...She wants to experiment, provoke and take it to another level.

Performance-wise promo, I get it. But I've never seen a song get a banner or iTunes promo after the 1st week. I don't think iTunes does that. Unless it's a new version of the song like E.T. ft. Kanye.

She's Beyonce.

Do you guys think this song could beat "Irreplaceable" airplay record?

I wanna say no, but it really depends.

[BeamMeUp]

We need to request like crazy, just like we did with RTW. This song is 20x more radio friendly so we should see our work going a long way.

Oh, does anyone know if the request link for Beyonce is for Best Thing I Never Had? Or is still on Run The World?

Let's not go ahead of ourselves now, we might jinx it.
Plus Irr was a monster, partially due the fact there was that catchy line that just get stuck in your head. "To the Left, to the left".:heart:

I think fan radio requests do more harm than good. I've done my share and I've seen how it works.

First of all radio stations can tell if it's fans. When they see someone named something like @Beysus from Paris tweeting Z100 in NY, it's suspect.

Also on those Mediabase links, they can tell from your IP where you're located.

The general public doesn't know about Beyonce's 2nd single. An avalanche of requests can only mean it's coming from fans, esp since most fan requests come from people who aren't from the station's city or even country. It interferes with and drowns out actual requests from real listeners. DJs get annoyed. Adam Lambert was blacklisted from Open House Party (huge radio show) b/c of his fans' requests. I've heard this from actual DJs at some of the biggest stations.

At the end of the day, a song will sink or swim on its own merits. I doubt there are thousands of Pitbull, Adele or Katy fans mass requesting their songs.
