Any Beyonce fan could tell you that 4 was a masterpiece of soul and rhythm, but it would have been more effective if better singles were picked.

Here is the list:
1) Run The World (Girls)
2) 1+1 (promotional single)
3) Best Thing I Never Had
4) Party (became Urban Single)
5) Countdown (became Rhythmic/Top 40 Single)
6) Love On Top (released to Urban radio, crossed over to rhythmic)
7) End Of Time?

If you could turn back time, what order would you put the singles in?

for some reason i dont think eot should have been the first single...i think its too big of a single to follow up. maybe follow up with rtw but the general public would think they were too similar. i think she released them in a good order but the releases were either random or weeks after the song was performed. a new single every two months would have been good...could have stretched it out longer instead of having us sitting here like were playing duck duck goose. imo

1. End of Time (Multi) (I feel if Pop radio really likes your 1st single, you have a better chance of your other singles getting support on the format. EOT was/is perfect for pop radio).

1a. 1+1 (Promotional)

2. Countdown (Multi)

3. Party (Just Urban)

4. Love On Top (Multi)

Then whatever after that...

And none of that releasing two singles at the same time for different formats mess. I hated that about the IASF era. The singles end up canceling each other out on the charts. One song at a time, please.

Why do people want RTW as a pop single when it failed there in reality?
