October 27, 201410 yr Author 12. Heaven [6.95] "So go on, go home!" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :( :( :( :cry: :cry: I can't believe the incredible "Heaven" is out already! It's genuinely one of the album highlights for me! The song and video is very touching. I can imagine why people might not like it - it can be a little boring at times. But I love a good ballad and she slays the vocals! I am surprised that this finished so low - would've thought it would have more 'lovers'. Damn Nick and Lee for bringing the average down so far!

October 27, 201410 yr Shame love Heaven so beautiful, but the others that are out so far, no big shocks
October 28, 201410 yr Author 11. Rocket [7.06] "Climb until you reach my peak!" Just missing out on the top 10 and the first song to pass a '7' average score is "Rocket". It's quite a nice slow and sultry R&B JAM! It's fairly average, so I'm not surprised it finished outside the top 10. There is much stronger on the album, but this is a very nice album filler track. The video is also a very simple affair, with Beyonce's favourite 'Black and White' effect. It's fairly uneventful, but like the song, it's a nice album filler.

October 30, 201410 yr Author 10. Mine [7.55] "I'm not feeling like myself since the baby..." NOOOOOOOOO! I can't believe Mine has finished so low in the countdown! It's easily one of the best on the album. I guess it just got a bit caught up in the other strong album tracks since it's much closer in score to #7-#9 than #11. Both Beyonce and Drake's parts absolutely slay and I'm surprised this was never pushed as a single. At least it made top 10 I guess.

November 3, 201410 yr Author 09. Jealous [7.81] "Sometimes I want to walk in your shoes..." The reflective "Jealous" finishes in 9th position. I don't it's very surprising because it's one of the stronger album tracks but not strong enough to rival the singles. Lyrically it feels like "If I Were a Boy" Part 2. However, it's no where near as good as that. Although I don't think it's supposed to be, "Jealous" is very much a different song musically and fits well on the album alongside the likes of "Pretty Hurts" and "No Angel" just to mention two. Interestingly, the song is written and produced by a similar team as "Drunk In Love". It's rather impressive that it's lowest score was only a '6'.

November 9, 201410 yr Author 08. Haunted [7.85] "I know if I'm onto you, you must be onto me!" This hauntingly beautiful song has finished in a respectable 8th position - the fourth highest non-single album track. The combo of Ghost and Haunted are fantastic. The only thing I don't like on the album is it's placing. I feel it would be better later on, but I guess it fits with Beyonce's journey message-wise.

November 10, 201410 yr Author 07. Blow [7.92] "Keep me humming, keep me moaning!" I know that right now hearts will be breaking across BuzzJack, since many of you have expressed your support for "Blow" as a surprise winner. Well it's only finished in 7th place. It's average falls just shy of 8, and it's the third highest non-single (with Grown Woman and ***Flawless still to come). The song was produced by Pharrell Williams and Timbaland - and you can certainly hear their influence on the song. A remix of the song featuring Pharrell will be released as part of the BEYONCE: Platinum Edition on 24th November.

November 10, 201410 yr Literally her best song ever!! Lee what even?? It's because she name drops the Sugababes isn't it, you bitter stan. Resigned to the totally average 'Drunk In Love' winning now. Edited November 10, 201410 yr by AdamAloud
November 10, 201410 yr Author I don't see the hype around Blow. It's a really strong album track and a good song, but it's not one of her best!
November 10, 201410 yr Why is 'Pretty Shit' still in?! I'd expect 'Haunted' and 'Blow' to be higher! And 'Mine' should've been higher as well.
November 10, 201410 yr I don't really get 'Blow' either. Album filler for me oops. 'Haunted' is JUST that though, so haunting, the second half in particular. Goosebump central~
