Beyonce’ is re-writing the rules on how to literally drop an album with her spontaneous debut on iTunes late last night. Unlike traditional releases no singles were ushered to radio in advance of the full album release, but now Billboard has confirmed that two official singles will hit radio next week. According to BB:
Starting next week, it will be two – the Pharrell Williams-produced “Blow” at Top 40, and the Jay Z-assisted “Drunk In Love” at R&B/Hip Hop, according to multiple sources who confirmed plans to Billboard. “XO,” a rousing ballad penned by Ryan Tedder and The-Dream, will follow later in 2014 as the second single at Top 40. Not that the new album is about one song – even to radio programmers, many of whom started playing “Beyonce” in its entirety on Friday.
Bey’s album is on course to sell over 200,000 copies for the three days it will be available before the sales week ends. With the release of the singles, the physical album going to retailers, and the digital version being released to other outlets outside of iTunes all just days before the Christmas holiday ‘Beyonce’ is sure to skyrocket in sales.
