This song is so overrated. Pretty much.

Halo has always been a future smash, and I hope it spends 10+ weeks @ #1 on Hot 100 and at least 7 weeks @ #1 on CHR/POP like it deserves. LMAO. It won't. I'll get back to you when it's at it's twelfth week @ #1.

Hence the massive AI for a song with 109 spins. Did I dispute that? Anyway, it was on their top 9 at 9 for at least one day last week. Touchy. I never said you disputed it. I was just making a comment. No snark intended.

My favorite from 'IASF'. I hope it hits #1. Oh and the video is truly terrible.

Diva is a hideous song, this is much better and way more powerful. I do agree with Sweet Dreams for 3rd pop single.

Halo blows Diva (and every other song on IASF) out of the water IMO. It's truly an amazing song.

Guess I should of included midtempo's. This'll be her 1st "ballad", if it does reach #1 of course. I think this is just as much a midtempo as "Irreplaceable" but I guess we're just playing with subjective semantics. It's definitely most midtempo song on the I Am... side.

I honestly think Halo's performance will look something like this: H100: #1 (8-12 weeks) CHR: #1 (8 weeks) Urban: #1 (2 weeks) (I know it will crossover there despite Diva) Rhythmic: #1 (6-8 weeks) HAC: #1 (4-6 weeks) AC: #1 (4-6 weeks) Digital sales: 3 to 3.5 million in the long run

^^Very high expectations but anything could happen (and hopefully its that lol ) I do feel like this needs to do better on other formats before pop puts in into heavy rotation which of course Diva will interfere with since its already on urban.

Also I could see this as a Christian hit as well, if they would be willing to give something by Beyonce a chance.

Though I'm sick of Beyonce, I do love this song and think it deserves a long stay at number one. It easily outshines the other singles and is one of her best songs to date.

I love this song! I fell in love with it after the first listen. I think this is one her best songs to date. I like that her vocals are a bit more subdued. The production is pretty too.
This will probably do pretty well.

Her vocal runs in this song are really awesome... keeps the song interesting after many listens.

Although I love Beyonce and her take on this song, I can't help but imagine Leona singing this song. Has Beyonce ever even released a song before with as much falsetto (Leona's style)? Not trying to say anything bad because I do love the song and Beyonce on it, but maybe it could have been better with Leona.
Anyways, I also think that this song will do very well on the charts. There's really not a lot of strong songs destined for #1 in the coming months, with the exception of Britney's Circus and maybe Kelly's MLWSWY. It definitely would be interesting to see a battle among all three for that spot... Can't wait.

^ For a song that is as legendary as Irreplaceable, I wouldn't expect anything less.

Especially considering how the reception isn't anything like that of 'Bleeding Love' or 'Apologize' or 'We Belong Together'. I wouldn't be surprised if this hit #1 on most of the above mentioned charts, but it will not stay there for nearly as long as you're expecting. I doubt an AC crossover too. If IIWAB couldn't, I don't see this doing it.

I hope to God it doesn't stay number one for that long. Halo is decent but it also has a heavy burn factor and hopefully the numbers will prove that Halo burns pretty fast after an obscene amount of listens. Also this song is no where near the same quality as We Belong Together, Bleeding Love, Apologize and many of the other songs that it is being compared to. The song is decent and overall a nicely packaged song, but lets not go overboard.

I honestly don't see this making #1 on CHR. If it does, I doubt it will be for very long.
