No. Beyoncé isn't interested in radio payola (clear channel deals) and kissing asses.

Then why all her urban singles topped urban radio?

Because she's Black. Duh.

HAHAHAHA then what was XO? Gospel?

Radio don't want her. Simple as that.

Yeah, she released one single in 8 months without payola or interviews and you're saying she isn't don't with it
Anyway that's still better than releasing your songs to Pop and have them flop or making Pop albums that flop even harder than songs not released to Pop. Choose your battles sport.

also keep in mind Beyoncé is pretty much done with the industry and how it works
a lot factors go into what songs are played on the radio

Yeah I wouldn't say that as well but it is different for Beyonce. During her surprise release there was a huge demand for her. I for one was sure that XO would've gone to #1 on pop and Drunk In love as well. Did DUL get a official pop release? Because I know it was kind of like a Dark Horse/UNCLE situation with that one.

Believe it or not Beyoncé fought her label to not have her music promoted

Well Blow and Drunk in Love were announced as singles first, then it was changed to XO. If anything it was a label decision because they wanted it to be another Halo, but DiL picked up traction and Bey ran with that

Ahh, so it was the label's fault XO failed to go further than top 40 on iTunes?

Heh.

Nope. Seethe

[Notorious K.E.N]

Yes. She should focus on her urban music

[Wafflecakes]

Seems like it.

I feel like her management expected that with all their release gimmicks radio would just play the music to jump about the bandwagon.

....then radio just rolled their eyes.

[Valera]

She still has a chance I think. It's not all lost.

[Sloane]

She doesnt care tho. The last song she released there was XO about 8 months ago.

Sis chill

Being black isn't the reason why every Beyonce song shoots to the top on the Urban chart. Beyonce has a legacy on that chart, a huge demand. Just like every damn song Kelly releases goes to the top of the HAC/AC chart.

There was an article on Billboard or HDD about how Clear Channels weren't happy with how she released her album without a lead single.

Is Iggy not a self-confessed 'rapper?

Isn't Rap mostly played on Urban channels?

Not rocket science babe.

Nah, she's done. Put up a hell of a fight though.

[letscauseascene1]

Her music is really R&B/Hip-Hop..... I don't get where and why people call her music pop. Her music is popular but it's not that type of genre. It never has been

That's why Lorde has a #1 there?

So you're saying that all Black artists and all rappers go #1 on Urban radio. If you can't see what's wrong with your statements, then Im going to stop talking to you in this thread.

[BEYLIEBER]

Even if they're done or not, honestly she doesn't need them. Bey has achieved big accomplishments over the past few years, plus she still succeeded because Drunk In Love went #2 on the Hot 100 chart anyway
