Beyonce can go get weeks at #1 on the urban chart, then turn around and score a #1 at pop! Beyonce's one of the biggest diva's in the game and there ain't no denying she's one of the best. Word. I am so glad Beyonce got her 5th solo Pop #1 hit. I LOVE her and this song but I never thought it would be this huge. I am so glad it is. :o

I'm amongst those who were wrong when this was released along with ...Boy. I still think IIWAB is a better song, but I am happy that Beyonce got her 5th #1 with THIS song. After all it became in terms of Pop culture over the past months, and considering that this is not a bad song, but it has this mix of retro and urban feel, it is good to have it at the top of the charts. But please let's not compate SL with Diva... SL IS a song, with melody, structure, different layers of voices, and (except for the last part of bridge) good vocals, whereas Diva is the opposite. Anyways, congrats and good job Beyonce!!!

You know to be so "overrated" Halo sure does receive a lot of hate. lol A lot of people hate the song for some reason and a lot of other people want Diva to outperform it. Baffles me.

Seems I feel the same as you in more than one thread, Will... I cannot understand this Diva/Halo 'war'. I would get it more maybe in a fanboard or in Beeers vs. Sashaers competition, but in a music board like Pulse, it strikes me how these two songs are compared and how hated Halo is. OK, I can see people saying it's not the next Bleeding Love. I'm fine with it. But then rooting for Diva to make Halo flop is like going to the other extreme of almost non-musical sense.

Halo may be a better song sonic wise, but the melodramatic lyrics and the way Beyonce sounds just ruins the song. It sounds so awful. Diva is a horrible song, but Beyonce makes it pretty listenable and catchy. I don't know.

Exactly, Halo isn't overrated its underrated. I'd say more than 50% of the posters here don't like it and of that percentage some want Diva to do better than it. The only way its overrated is because of Ryan Teddar's comments.

Hopes this bullet dies and the Beyoncenator slows down. Hell to da naw ... Queen beyonce is dominating this era. I hope Diva follows SL, blew up on urban (which is happening now), then crossovered to pop and go all the way to the top. For comparison, SL was released to urban/rhytmic first, while Boy to pop/rhytmic. Now Diva is sent to urban/rhytmic, but 'halo' is ONLY for pop. Interesting! Should be easier for Diva to dominate hopefully. Anyway where's the update for this 2 singles?

"Halo" is kind of cheesy but it has a really nice melody. I hope that blows up.
"A Milli" "Diva" okay, but I'd rather an actual song be a hit.

I hope it peaks to. It already blew everyone's predictions away become a #1 urban, pop, digital, airplay, and hot100 song, aswell as becoming a national phenomenon. Beyonce is just furthering her legacy :) Now likes bring on Halo/Diva :)

You know it's odd, this hasn't placed anywhere in the top 15 on callouts but yet it continues to sell the album and really well at that. Makes no kinda sense. lol

^That just goes to show you how pointless call out scores are. If people hated this song it would not be successful and it certainly wouldn't be selling albums like it is.

what are top 15 callouts? its a mediabase chart which surveys which songs are the most appealing to the CHR/POP audiences, and they are sent to radio programmers they can be helpful to some songs, but sometimes (like in the case of Single Ladies) some songs do horrible on callouts but still go #1.....which goes to show that callout scores arnt everything(but they can be helpful to some songs)
