There aren't many scenarios/eras where "Partition" could really be considered a serious Pop contended. I'm glad it's done well on the other formats and the exposure from the video. A multi-format track should be delivered soon. They "blew" it with XO, take a chance and release "Blow" or something else. I think a little more pop-friendly track will still do well on urban/rhythmic formats because of DIL and Partition.

I'd say DIL is more pop-friendly than this. That has more of a noticable central hook than this.
I personally prefer this (although I love both), but it would take great momentum to make this do much on Pop and she doesn't have it here right now.
The way they orchestrated the album's release was pure genius and completely worked around the issue of a lack of crossover hits. Beyonce doesn't need Pop radio anymore to move units (as this album and 4 have proven) and Pop radio doesn't need Beyonce to make playlists to satisfy their audience anymore (as shown by the growth of the format despite her not having a big solo hit here in nearly 5 years). Both are doing fine and it seems like a mutual separation.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin could never.

They won't. Record company's may start weening people off of radio.

Not sure why they would send this for pop adds. I love this song, but please get "Pretty Hurts" on pop radio!

For Bey it didnt help much. Sounds like a personal problem. Which it really is. Beyoncé's case this era is vastly different from any other artist and vastly different from Beyoncé's own past history. Her album is selling very well, yes, but that's mainly due to how well their plan worked from the beginning, and that plan really could only work with an artist of Beyoncé's caliber. Also, it's not something that can work many times over. Eventually it will get stale and people will stop caring. I applaud her team for how well they're handling this era (minus the crappy first pop single pick and being late as af to releasing her singles to pop), but it's not a norm, nor will it ever be a norm. It's just a strategy that's too risky and fragile to work on other artists. Plus, it's not like airplay wouldn't hurt her standings either. In fact, it would keep the album selling a lot more for a lot longer than if it were receiving no airplay hits. Imagine if 21 produced no airplay hits or none past "Rolling in the Deep." I doubt it would have sold 10 million copies.

Precisely. There's no reason not to gain airplay. Beyonce's label seems to be very bad at single-picking.

According to Billboard (I do not have the link at hand) pop radio was being sent 'Blow' but radio programmers rejected it and told the label they wanted something else/something less sexual. For what it's worth. Obviously they gave DIL a chance so I'm not sure the full explanation as to why they refused 'Blow'.

Now that Pharell has a #1 single I think Bey should release Blow and let them play it if their listeners demand it.

Yeah, "Blow" is fantastic and is in no way worse than other past hits.

For what it's worth. Obviously they gave DIL a chance so I'm not sure the full explanation as to why they refused 'Blow'. DIL not only went Top 10 on the Hot 100, it went all the way to #2. They kind of had to at least give it a shot - but frankly, I can't help but think they'd still have largely rejected it, outside success be damned, if it was left up to PDs' own personal choices alone. That's sort of why Partition isn't being jumped on - there's nothing that's practically forcing them to do so.

I really do hope this gets some action on Pop. It's just too good to pass up from the general public.
In other news, it looks like the "Pretty Hurts" thread got locked... The song will flop.

a big percentage of the songs that are being played on the radio these days are very sexual so i don't think radio programmers should reject songs like Partition or Blow
"Sold out arenas u can suck my penis" is not rejected ? gimme a break !!!!

This is not going to happen on Pop. Stop trying to make this happen on Pop.
