As long as this song doesn't have a radical turnaround, I see it being the next #1 on CHR.

Still 3,000 spins away from the crown.
A lot of things can happen in between those 3,000 spins.

Loving this! She's killing Halo on tour! Truth. I saw her in Madrid last Tuesday, she closed with Halo, and honestly the entire arena was hypnotized. The final two beats of the song, after she say Halo for the last time, where she clapped, and everyone clapped in unison with her...MAGIC |

Will they send Ego to CHR? No. And hopefully CHR doesn't even pick it up (which I highly doubt they will). |

They bet not send that EGO TRASH to Pop. After HALO takes over a nice SWEET DREAMS follow-up would smash.

This went top 10 at urban yesterday but missed an official top 10 peak today dropping to #12. I'm sure if they didn't send Ego out so early this could of went at least top 5 but who cares.
Good news is Poker Face lost 231 spins today and BEP is starting it's slow drop!

SD is going to slay @ pop. Ego is meant for urban ONLY and so far, its already charted @ #44 and its add date was the 19th. She knows what she is doing. I'm proud of Halo!  |

You think Sweet Dreams can hit #1 on the Hot 100?

I'm sorry, but this is the most obvious case of payola I've ever seen. I respect Beyonce as a hardworking artist, and believe that she's had plenty of genuine hits (especially "Single Ladies), and I'm really looking forward to Sweet Dreams being released.
That being said, this song is awful. Radio didn't like it to begin with, it's call-out is poor, and then suddenly it had this surge. Not to mention, Columbia was responsible for the huge payola scandal back in 2005. Something is up other than just the Clear Channel syndicated playlist, because the charts aren't making any sense right now.

If this song had payola, it wouldn't have taken this long to reach the top 10. Radio would have jumped on it almost immediately and then it would have likely peaked fast.

LMAO at people saying payola made this a hit. If anything this is one of the most obvious songs that didn't have payola behind it..seriously just because you don't like a song doesn't mean nobody does.  |

Yes, this is completely because of payola. I can't believe people are even considering that at this point. If her label were paying off radio stations why the hell didn't they start doing it sooner? Why would they let it struggle for months (delaying future releases and hurting album sales)? It couldn't possibly be because the song is good. I think some are just upset at the fact that a song they believe to be really bad is turning out to be really successful and they are looking for excuses to take away from it's success.

Well you could look at it two ways, if its quote on quote good then why wouldnt have taken off earlier when its good AND Beyonce? There could be many reasons. Im not saying the song is bad....

Maybe 'Halo' being a beautiful song is helping in its success? It's a crazy theory, I know.

Well you have to remember that it was going for adds at the same time Single Ladies was still massive. Also, just because a song doesn't explode out of the gate, does not mean it isn't good. |
