No date for pop available yet

Posted by: April 18th November 2014, 11:01 PM

Only one week to go! Hopefully it's as good as "Drunk In Love" and the Flawless remix.

Serve them urban bops!

Posted by: April 19th November 2014, 05:17 PM

Not sure about that yet!

Was kinda hoping for another DIL/Partition style song.

Posted by: Cremey 19th November 2014, 05:25 PM

Yeah I'm not sure about that either! Hopefully the full thing is better.

I'm not impressed. "Ring Off" a far better song. I think "7/11" will grow, but it's just so basic on first listen.

(Ring Off is on The Guardian website: http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2014/nov/21/listen-new-beyonce-tracks-711-ring-off)

Posted by: Euphorique 21st November 2014, 10:29 PM

I'm on the fence with it. Its definitely ratchet

So far I rank the singles like this:

1 - Drunk In Love
2 - Flawless
3 - Pretty Hurts
4 - XO
5 - Partition
6 - 7/11

What a mess! But I love the video

Posted by: mr_aly 22nd November 2014, 01:38 AM

That's fucking AWFUL.

I hate when she does stuff like this, it's full of autotune and no discernible melody or anything in sight. No redeeming qualities, it really undermines the talent she has.

Just after she'd achieved the unthinkable feat of having a full album with nothing really bad on it as well...

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 22nd November 2014, 02:06 AM

omg it's TERRIBLE.

Posted by: -Jay- 22nd November 2014, 02:22 AM

I actually quite like it, scorn me all you like! It's clearly not meant to be taken particularly seriously, and for a Beyoncé song/video that is really rather rare. She's had fun with this one, it's clear to see. I bet this would sound rather amazing in a club, particularly after a few drinks! The video is pretty cool too, like a long Vine clip.

Smack it, smack it. *.*

Posted by: -Jay- 22nd November 2014, 02:34 AM

P.S. I hope no one else attempts the standing/spinning on chair, on balcony! (1:13)

Posted by: jsilv 22nd November 2014, 08:15 AM

Ok, the song may not her best single ever but I still like it. However, that video is excellent, so funny so I hope that works in her favour.

Posted by: April 22nd November 2014, 11:36 AM

The video is very funny - I see she's probably attempting the viral video route to get another hit.

Posted by: THEO. 22nd November 2014, 02:04 PM

It hurt me to watch that video after the amount of alcohol I drank last night. Not sure what to think of the song yet but I'm sure I'll love it soon enough. What's with her attachment to 2005 as well? It wasn't even particularly a stellar year for Bey, especially with the second disbandment of DC!

Posted by: -Jay- 22nd November 2014, 02:25 PM

Those glasses actually say 2015!

Posted by: THEO. 22nd November 2014, 02:30 PM

Oh right! Well looking to the future and all then!

Posted by: April 22nd November 2014, 03:30 PM

OMG - she almost jumped onto Blue! Poor baby.

Posted by: mr_aly 22nd November 2014, 04:11 PM

Such irresponsible parenting!

Posted by: NellyXmas. S 22nd November 2014, 06:03 PM

LMAO

Posted by: Cameron 22nd November 2014, 06:33 PM

The video is fantastic!

The song is horrific

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 23rd November 2014, 12:53 AM

I must admit it's grown on me a little, but it's still a 6/10 song.

Posted by: NellyXmas. S 23rd November 2014, 09:37 AM

For some reason the girl on the left is terrifying 0_o

Posted by: barbaric_dan 23rd November 2014, 10:59 AM

This is TUNEAGE

Posted by: THEO. 23rd November 2014, 10:08 PM

Literally... It's clearly a rewind of her jumping off the bed. I'm sure no Blue Ivys were harmed in the making of the vid.

Posted by: Davidson 24th November 2014, 01:06 AM

How can she go from the perfection of the album to this? I mean it is actually awful, what on earth is she thinking? So disappointing after her output having been the best its ever been (and that's saying something).

Posted by: Cremey 24th November 2014, 11:14 PM

Video of the year. Loving the song now too after being completely unsure at first.

Posted by: Cameron 24th November 2014, 11:23 PM

Had such a turn around, really liking the track, the video remains flawless. She is such a nutter

Posted by: -Jay- 25th November 2014, 02:56 AM

Up to #24 on iTunes, that's better than I expected it to do! Hopefully it'll be Top 40 for Sunday.

Posted by: -Jay- 26th November 2014, 01:10 PM

7/11 is showing up in the Top 40 update today... probably shouldn't be revealing it this soon but whatever, it's #37.

An entry entitled 'BEYONCÉ' is showing up in the singles update as well, at #39, so I assume that's the 'More' EP? Kind of surprised it's listed separately like that in the singles chart... I thought it was typical for an EP's sales to be attached to a specific song from it. I wonder what song Radio 1 would play from it to signify its entry?

Posted by: { bré } 26th November 2014, 02:10 PM

Errr at this. I think I actually really like it but what is she doing releasing a song like this?

Posted by: April 26th November 2014, 02:15 PM

But the 'More' EP has too many songs to count towards the singles chart though?

Good to see 7/11 in the top 40 though! Hopefully Flawless Remix might join it by the end of the week.

Posted by: { bré } 26th November 2014, 02:24 PM

Was thinking that as well - this is the first update it's appeared in though (due to iTunes sales being missing for Monday in yesterday's update) so it could just be an error, will be fixed by tomorrow if so. I hope it is an error because the OCC annoy me when they are this inconsistent.

(oh this isn't the chart forum lel, hi Beyoncé forum people)

Posted by: April 26th November 2014, 02:27 PM

I guess. Hopefully they fix it for Sunday!

Bre in non-chart forum post shocker!

Posted by: { bré } 26th November 2014, 02:42 PM

Hey I post loads outside the chart forum!!1! (But not in artist forums because A) I have them all hidden so I forget they exist and B) I think they're pretty pointless for the most part).

The original 'Drunk In Love' and the remix have also not been combined in the mids yet so there's definitely some issues going on, I should imagine the EP will disappear / appear in the album chart in the next update.

Posted by: April 26th November 2014, 02:56 PM

Ok Bre!

Oh - if they've not been combined there's definitely some issues then!

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 27th November 2014, 02:51 AM

I love how she says "freshening"!

Posted by: AdamAloud 28th November 2014, 06:46 PM

'7/11' is... interesting. It's better than 'Diva' though (which isn't hard to do to be fair)

'Ring Off' is a LOT better.

Posted by: -Jay- 29th November 2014, 02:14 AM

Fresher than yoooooou

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 29th November 2014, 03:58 AM

I knew I heard something wrong oops

Posted by: The Pinkprint 29th November 2014, 11:11 AM

I think I love this as much as Jay now!

Posted by: Davidson 18th December 2014, 06:40 PM

Okay so this has turned out to be a bit of drunk anthem in the same vain as 'Anaconda'. So glad I don't have to say I hate a Bey song anymore.

Posted by: Joe. 7th January 2015, 11:23 AM

7/11 is back in the top 30 on iTunes now. It's only getting support from Radio 1, which is annoying. But hopefully other stations will get on board. I'm hoping this can become her second biggest selling single of this era, outselling XO. It should at very least re-peak if not this week, but next.

Posted by: April 7th January 2015, 12:04 PM

It's also #24 on Spotify, so it should easily be back in the top 40 this week as long as sales don't crash. I'm glad to see it's back on the rise though, "7/11" gets too much hate.

Posted by: Cameron 7th January 2015, 03:40 PM

I am hoping with the help of streaming this can go top 30

Posted by: Joe. 7th January 2015, 03:45 PM

It's up to #27 on itunes now, so I wouldn't count it out. As long as R1 doesn't take it off A list next week, I'd say top 30 for sure next week if not this week.

Posted by: Joe. 7th January 2015, 07:07 PM

Lol - logically R1 have dropped this from the playlist now.

Posted by: Jay ジ 7th January 2015, 07:43 PM

^ Ugh that's typical! Hate when they give up on a song just as it's picking up.

It's midweek 42 today by the way!

Posted by: Nelly. S 7th January 2015, 08:02 PM

At least it has TV airplay to keep it up a bit, I think the video somewhat is still making quite a big of a splash actually!

Posted by: April 8th January 2015, 04:45 PM

#39 in today's chart update!

Posted by: Acoustic 8th January 2015, 05:08 PM

.

Posted by: Jay ジ 8th January 2015, 09:20 PM

When will your fave flop songs?

Posted by: Joe. 9th January 2015, 01:47 PM

#36 in today's midweeks. Hopefully she'll do enough in the next couple of days to re-peak on Sunday, before the radio airplay finishes

Posted by: April 9th January 2015, 01:51 PM

With Tulisa dropping and the streaming advantage tomorrow over some of the other tracks, I think she could get a new peak on Sunday just about.

Posted by: Joe. 11th January 2015, 04:57 PM

New peak at #33.

Shame it won't make the top 30 now it's been taken off the R1 playlist

Posted by: Nelly. S 11th January 2015, 05:02 PM

Hopefully it will crawl past 100k!

Posted by: Cameron 11th January 2015, 05:07 PM

Very pleased that it has managed a new peak! I am really just chuffed it is top 40

Posted by: Joe. 12th January 2015, 03:20 PM

It's looking for a final week in the top 40, actually. It's perfectly stable on streaming at #25 and hasn't really fallen much on iTunes at #32. It could probably fall to #45 by the end of the week on iTunes and still make the top 40 with the streaming boost.

Posted by: Joe. 13th January 2015, 02:02 PM

#35 in midweeks. Up to 21 on Spotify.

Posted by: April 13th January 2015, 03:11 PM

Should be comfortable for another week top 40 then!

Posted by: Joe. 14th January 2015, 03:47 PM

Climbed to #31 in today's midweeks

Posted by: Jay ジ 17th January 2015, 04:20 AM

#33 on Friday! I assume it could be on total sales of around 95k on Sunday.

DJ Mustard Remix:

Posted by: Nelly. S 17th January 2015, 12:39 PM

The DJ mustard remix sounds amazing actually

Posted by: April 17th January 2015, 02:06 PM

It sounds weird, I don't like it.

Posted by: Joe. 18th January 2015, 09:42 PM

36-40-48-48-60-47-33-34

Posted by: Nelly.S 19th January 2015, 05:46 PM

I just realized that it sounds like she says 'I'm spinnin' my butter' rather than 'I'm spinnin my but off'

Posted by: Joe. 21st January 2015, 03:43 PM

40 in midweeks, would be great if she could manage it, considering it's got no airplay at the moment.

Posted by: April 21st January 2015, 04:19 PM

Another week would be great, but I think she might miss out this week.

Posted by: Joe. 22nd January 2015, 01:20 PM

It's currently #36 on iTunes and #23 on Spotify, so I really think it'll hold on.

Posted by: Joe. 26th January 2015, 10:55 AM

36-40-48-48-60-47-33-34-39
Sales: 104k

Posted by: Daniel_ 1st February 2015, 10:05 PM

I love this bop

Posted by: April 1st February 2015, 10:07 PM

Dropped out of the top 40 this week to #44!

Posted by: Joe. 2nd February 2015, 12:36 AM

Shame! I really wouldn't have expected those last two weeks in the top 40 anyway, so it's exceeded my expectations. It's still doing well on streaming and isn't free falling on iTunes so could still pick up a few sales.

Shame Radio 1 only gave it 1 week on the A list and commercial radio didn't take to it because I think it could have been quite a big one for Bey.

Posted by: Joe. 18th February 2015, 09:30 AM

36-40-48-48-60-47-33-34-39-44-44-50
Sales: 132k.

Posted by: Jay ジ 18th February 2015, 02:34 PM

Good longevity. I do miss the days of her getting regular Top 10 hits though! She's only had three in the 2010s - Telephone, Best Thing I Never Had and Drunk In Love.

Posted by: Joe. 19th February 2015, 10:58 PM

She's long overdue a #1. She needs to do a held back release.

Posted by: Nelly. S 19th February 2015, 11:18 PM

I'm really hoping that the next era will be so much more successful single-wise. The album has done amazingly but its a shame that she only had one big hit and two adequate performing singles (XO and 7/11) this time round.

Posted by: Joe. 18th May 2015, 11:59 AM

Despite a disappointing chart peak, this should go silver in before summer's end. It's currently on 187k and is still selling around 3k a week.

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 18th May 2015, 01:14 PM

Pretty impressive this is still selling.

Posted by: April 18th May 2015, 04:27 PM

Surely most of its 'sales' are streaming?

Posted by: Joe. 18th May 2015, 04:33 PM

74% yes! Still helping it continue to chart though.

Posted by: Joe. 17th June 2015, 07:44 AM

This has gone silver now! BPI should announce on Friday.

Posted by: Cameron 17th June 2015, 09:42 AM

fantastic news!

Posted by: Nelly. S 17th June 2015, 10:12 AM

Omg yay , another good sleeper hit under the belt!
