R&B chart queen. :) "Countdown" is making its way back up the Hot 100 (89-82*), but still 11 spots away from attaining a new Hot 100 peak.

If Urban doesn't drop this in favour of LOT (if they keep supporting both at the same time) Bey might be able to get 3 simultaneous Top 10 hits next week! :O

If only they would've released this to Urban A LOT earlier. We would still have Rhythmic helping this out too.

Interestingly, LOT made top 75 airplay for the 1/28 chart, whereas this didn't. Perhaps next week.

This just collapsed so suddenly, it NEEDS to pick up. "Strip", "4 AM" and "Rack City" are coming up fast behind it and they'll probably push it out of the top 10 (urban) in the next few days if it doesn't pick up.

LOT went for adds a week ago, plus Party is dropping slowly. Something was bound to give.

Yeah the growth of "Love On Top" is what really dealt a blow to "Countdown".

LOT is a better song that's why it's picking up steam. Countdown is retread....standard Beyonce record. YAWN! Been there and done that not once but twice.

I still think this song is unique and special. When I first got the album I was against it because I thought it may overshadow EOT. Now that it seems EOT will forever be an album track, I've gotten comfortable with really supporting this. It's got more than LOT.

'Countdown' already has over 2 million impressions more than when it peaked during its Rhythmic and Pop run.

At least it gained again. This era's single releases has been such a strange one. I still don't think they should have released this to Top40 first when she wasn't a sure thing there. Anyways I'm glad it's gaining again. Anh update at Rythmic? Did it ever pick up again?

hope we can still go Top 10 this week on the R&B charts. LOT looks like it's definitely going. This one, I'm not too sure. These updates has been kinda going back & forth this week.

Beyonce’s “Countdown” becomes party anthem. Columnist Kevin Stairiker argues that while “Countdown” may not have topped Billboard charts, it possesess a universal appeal. During winter break I found myself driving a lot. Driving to Wawa, to friends’ houses, to nowhere at all – it didn’t really matter where. The thrill of driving after a semester of relying on my feet and SEPTA was a fleeting freedom I enjoyed wholeheartedly. But this is a music column, so where does this information fit in? Let’s talk about driving music. Actually, let’s get really specific: Let’s talk about a driving song. I wouldn’t even limit it to just a driving song. It eventually became a walking song, a playing video games song and a general feeling-alive song. Screw it, let’s talk about “Countdown” by Beyonce. If I was forced to review the song itself, it would consist of one single word: Woah. If I was graciously given two words, it would read: Seriously, woah. “Countdown” is a song delivered in a golden chariot by a greater being. If anything, “Countdown” confirms the existence of a greater being, possibly one that loves getting down to marching band percussion and Boyz II Men samples. This might all sound like really excessive hyperbole, but listen to the song and try to deny the gravitational pull that it creates. I don’t care if you’re a hardcore kid covered in tattoos or a middle-aged man with a mortgage, there’s something for everyone here. Lyrically, the song somehow teeters the line between a genuinely sweet love song and a totally badass declaration of feminine independence – a.k.a. 95 percent of all Beyonce/Destiny’s Child jamz. Taken as a whole, there is no verse, bridge or even a chorus in a traditional sense. Upon my first listen, I struggled to pinpoint just which set of lines could be considered the hook. Once the song ended, I realized that, dear God, the whole song is the hook. Every line is meant to be quoted and sung at the top of your lungs on a dance floor or at a house party. It’s a true anomaly on the album that it came from. Although “4” is a very good album, there aren’t really any songs that compete with “Countdown,” with the exception of “Love On Top” – and that song could have its own separate column. It’s as if the songwriters and producers on the album focused all of their time and energy into crafting this perfect pop single and got way too tired for the rest of the album. Her loss, our gain as listeners, I suppose. What makes the song so worthy of note is the fact that the constant driving percussion never overwhelms the listener. You’ll find yourself thinking “well shoot, I can’t take this. There’s no way that I’ll be able to make it to the end of the song without having to wring my shirt out from the sweat and possibly taking a nap afterwards.” Well dear friends, if you have the will to persevere, making it to the end of “Countdown” is a truly enlightening experience. Even though “Countdown” was not only heralded as one of the best singles of the year, and maybe even of Beyonce’s career thus far, the Billboard Hot 100 charts, a long decaying relic itself, showed otherwise. According to “Countdown’s” exhaustive Wikipedia page – seriously, check that out – “Countdown” reached a measly #71 spot. Normally this wouldn’t annoy me since music charts have been immeasurably skewed since the invention of the World Wide Web, but let’s get real: What is up with Beyonce fans and general pop music listeners? Honestly, I feel like Maximus from “Gladiator” shouting “are you not entertained?” to the huddled masses. “Countdown” is the type of song that should’ve been like “Hey Ya”– leaping all genre boundaries to reach the ears of everyone at all times and achieving ubiquity. Instead we live in a world where only those in the loop know that when Beyonce is in the kitchen for dinnertime, she’s got her heels on. Only a small percentage of the population knows what Beyonce thinks ladies should do to prove to their men that they are indeed “the flyest.” And most importantly, where would we, as a continually developing human species, be without the phrase “me and my boo in my boo coupe ridin’?” Nowhere, that’s where. So go find “Countdown” and listen to it. Then listen to it a couple more times. After that, run out and find a stranger and grab their face and sing it to them. Soon, you’ll find that a dance party will have formed all around you, inspired by “Countdown” and its’ mystic, transcendent capabilities.

The only thing Bey used in 'Countdown' was her signature staccato horns sound. Other than that, this sounds nothing like her other songs. This is by far her most experimental track.

Re-enters Hot 100 Airplay at No. 75- I overlooked that it had appeared on the chart for one week prior.
