The record label likely couldn't get a radio deal on Monday.....mostly because Selena already got a radio deal to exclusively play her song on Monday. And then Avril has the exclusive radio deal on Tuesday. So it's probably too late for Beyonce to get a radio deal.
If I'm wrong, please correct. I just don't see anything on Facebook or Twitter telling fans to buy her new song on Monday.
Why are people so up in arms about this not being a single? It's already better than some of her past singles? What's the deal... her first single will come when it's ready. Be happy you're in the new era at all
