^^I don't think that was the actual airplay chart though!

We're #10 on the UK Midweek Charts!

I hope we get into the top 5 on Sunday, let's go for it!
Let's hope. Though I wish they'd hurry and release the video. I guess it would be great for it too make top 10 this week then on Monday release the video as that would surely bump it up. Then again if they release the video now there's more of a chance of people seeing it on the music channels.

Down to #9 on UK iTunes. We need to step it up. Hope a top 10 is sealed.

I'd love it if she performed it on American Idol. That would be great promotion. I'm sure they'd jump at the chance to book her. At the final would be even better.

Let's hope she has some great promotion lined up.

Looking back, Single Ladies debuted at #72 in the US, a month later it got to #1. So hopefully it'll rise soon.

It will rise when she does promo and when the video is released. People shouldn't panic. It's only been out a week.

I guess it's because GaGa and Britney both shot to #1 with their debut singles from their new albums in the US. I hope bey gets to #1 with her album though in the US. I'm confident she will .

I'm not criticising them because I'm not sure where they are in the charts right now and I love both of them, but I would rather Beyoncé had a single that climbed up slowly and had longevity than a single that debuted at #1 and dropped like a stone the following week.

Flopping its way down to #15 on Irish iTunes chart..come on Beyonce, hurry up and release single #2 and we can try and forget this abomination ever existed.

I don't think she's giving up on this song. Her creative director Kim Burse suggested she's already been in rehearsals. Besides it has great potential in Europe, I'd like to see how she's perform it anyway.

this is her 2nd highest debut on Billboard. Single Ladies debuted at #72, If i were a Boy at #100..just sayin'. And this also suffered leaks and a rush-release.
Hopefully the official Swedish and Spanish charts will come out soon. Hopefully the song charts higher there.

Someone in her band - maybe it was Divvi Roxx - tweeted something like "Are y'all ready for live RTW?" yesterday or the day before, so she obviously has something lined up. I can't wait for her to start performing it and release the video. It will rise in the charts and then no one will be able to laugh at her.

That song is awful. Absolutely awful. It's like a hastily created, generic sounding mashup of all her other music

I'm no fan of Beyonce, but I'm no fan of many other singers too. Yet I've never been inclined to turned off the radio like I am with this hideous piece!

I swear on my iTunes it keeps swapping #9 & #10 with Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car'. Hope it's still at #10 on the midweek charts.

I am sensing this song will be a bit of a misfire for Beyonce in both the US and UK. It's interesting that this is her first single without her dad managing her. I wonder if he would have let her put out this monstrous piece of music?

On ONTD an article was posted saying on iTunes Run the world only has half a star more rating than Friday by Rebecca Black - OUCH!!

“Girls” has since fallen to No. 30 on the iTunes chart, and remains as one of the lowest rated songs in the Top 100, with only half-a-star separating it from Rebecca Black’s “Friday”.

Half of those ratings came from pressed stans of Britney & co. The evidence is on twitter, a britney fan saying ''Gotta give bey that 1 star''

although I ain't denying that there are people who genuinely don't get the song. Anyway this is far from the Bionic disaster, for starters Bey is gonna promote the hell out of this song, and then probably release a ballad as the second single.

And whatever happens, Beyonce won't debut with less than 250k for her album. #youcanquotemeonthat

Beyoncé fans weren't doing the same for their singles?
Don't make me laugh.

to be honest, she has just lost all respect from me.

I mean not only was i so intrigued by the song, but to be so let down and not only that....it sounds awful!

I am not saying that because i am a fan of Britney etc.etc. but because it is solely my opinion (remember i have and like her Bday) but this song for a lead is so messy and dated.

To think that some Beyonce fans were slamming Xtinas Bionic last summer, only for her to release a hash up demo version of Woohoo meets My girls and I Hate Boys....and those were fun! this isnt.....its quite bitter sounding too for an "anthem"

She can either pull something big out of the hat for her second single, or I just will give this a miss i am afraid....may listen to some leaks and see if my opinion changes, and how she will perform at glasto.

I think she is a great performer, just her material lets her down one heck of a lot!
