Why do you think she's flopping?

It's not doing well but i think it'll go higher in the charts once she promotes but as a semi-hit.
Run this world is a rubbish first single imo. |

She's actually doing BETTER than I expected, if I'm honest. So I wouldn't say she's flopping.
She's not doing very well in the US though, but I think it'll improve when it's promoted. |

For me she's yet to top Crazy In Love - I preferred her in Destiny's Child

Its just a piss poor first single. Just like GaGa with Born this way. I dont know if its sheer arrogance on their part but if this was somebody else it would have done even worse than what the single is now doing. But because its " B" people are still buying it just because of the name.

Flopping is the new black. Everyone's at it.
Success is for amateurs. |

I thought she had done OK. Releasing a track on a Thursday afternoon and debuting within the top twenty on the Sunday is OK and looking like a top ten this week, especially with no promotion at all and no video and the fact the song isn't very good.

Sure the word "flop" gets thrown around these days, but I think most people know what the OP meant (basically- is the new single under-performing?)
For what it's worth - I don't think the chart positions here have been too bad so far (not seen rest of world) but I am struggling to remember a comeback single so widely panned. People on forums are almost universally negative about this track ...and even DS "only" gave it 4 stars (when pretty much any other successful female solo artist automatically gets 5 stars on here). I'm guessing Run The World will underperform and not be well remembered, but I wouldn't be surprised if her follow-up single proves to be a huge smash. |

Adele? To be fair, though, she's had her fair few 'overrated' 'Adele makes me cringe' and even 'Adele blows as a bass player' threads (OK, I admit I started that last one). It's the nature of the beast on here. PS I actually think this single has flopped but whether that means the album will also flop I've no idea. But it really is a strange choice for a lead single IMO (unless the rest of the album is in a similar vein, God forbid). |

Or maybe some people actually like it? I love Beyonce but I'm not spending my money on something I don't like. Either way, I think we can guarantee she'll bring out something massive next. |

The song leaked for 3 days
No promotion No video No official press release No live performances No interviews No premiers Nothing They had to release it without anything because of the horrible demo leak. It debuted better than Single Ladies and If I were a boy and we know they became massive hits. |

It debuted at #33 on hot 100.. but it's her second highest debut single after Work It Out @ #11. So after hearing that................i'm a little more positive about this song. it's gonna rise once she promotes the hell out of it!

I just think the whole release was flawed. It's not a great song, and it's only the online Music community that really know about it. Beyoncé needs to get moving.

Britney and GaGa did no promo at all and they snatched very good sales and Number 1.

Didn't Gaga perform at the Grammys like 2 days after the release of BTW.
Britney had zero promo apart from airplay really and topped the charts over there. i am so disappointed
