Its not big overseas It was there first song in years to not debut in the top 5 in the UK. First since Bug a Boo went in at no. 9 It's still very popular here though.

I still don't like this song. I like Cater 2 U a lot better than this, bad msg or not, even though that track has been trashed on this board a lot more than Girl ever was. At least C2U's msg is straightforward and explicitly put even though it might not be totally respectful. Girl's seems like its all over the place. I'm yo girl, yo my girl, we yo girls, yo mama's a girl, yo daddy's a girl, everyone's a damn girl and it just goes on and on and I don't give a s**t to understand it anymore. The video doesn't explain much either with the fake tears and all. Girls are not like that in real life anyway. All I see is girls backstabbing each other every damn day for the stuff they are singing about. I want Beyonce back :'(.

Girl is just an ad lib session for Beyonce. It's a terrible screaming mess. What the fu(k? The most ridiculous part is "I been knowing you since you were ten"

It was there first song in years to not debut in the top 5 in the UK. Perhaps so, but UK single sales are very low these days. It is more likely people didn't need as much persuading to pick up the album intiially, so their later singles are suffering as a result. I think without promo they have done very well. Not many acts can have their 3rd single go Top 10 without promo and they very nearly made it in the Top 5.

And im also comparing its success overseas to that in the US. Anyways, Girl jumps 10 spots from #22 to #12 on the Dutch Top 40. Its #5 on the Australian charts, #8 on the Irish charts and as previously mentioned #6 on the UK charts. Not bad at all.

It's rebounding because it is being played on a lot of year-end countdowns.
