GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 This song single-handedly saved the “4” era in the U.K. It was such a big hit on radio over here that year. I also still remember everyone singing along to it at Glastonbury. An international Pop hit and one of her best ballads. Love On Top, I Care & Dance For You could never!

Shinning Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Literally her worst song ever. I wanna forget she even recorded this let alone released it and made it a single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the biggest chart success of 4 cause it's BASIC and GENERIC, just what the GP likes. But its lack of quality led to its poor longevity and thaat's why Love On Top outlasted.

Misguided Ghost Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Honestly, it's one of my least favourite Beyonce songs, but I remember how big it was back in the day. "4" on the other hand is an amazing era Hope she'll bring that energy back for the upcoming album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t allow it to flop like her domestic market did with almost every other single from that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissman Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 One of her worst singles imo, maybe her worst due only to the matter of how basic it was compared to the rest of 4's songs that just shows the public's questionable taste. Perhaps I just dislike it because it's a blatant Irreplaceable 2.0 after we already had so many Irreplaceable 2.0's from other big singers.

Best Thing I Never Had also has a small lead in the UK Love On Top will be Double Platinum this year in the UK as well, likely before fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissman Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I think Beyoncé also isn't particularly fond of this song given that she hasn't performed it (not even a bit of or used it in an interpolation) since 2011 when it was a single. Meanwhile Run the World, Love on Top, Countdown, End of Time, have all been performed at multiple concerts/appearances since. I mean Love on Top (acapella) and End of Time were both performed at her solo Super Bowl that came directly after the 4 era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BnPac Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Yeah, I can't congratulate this but good for It, I guess. Still surprising how much UK lashes to everything pop B releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satellites.™ Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 The song and video are too cookie cutter for me, im a STAN STAN so yeah. But I get that artists have to spread their catalogue out to reach new audiences and this did for her what IASF did, grab international attention and sale tickets.

Love on Top was such an unexpected smash. I always thought it might be too 80s/90s R&B throwback for the international GP and then it smashed Party deserved Best Thing I Never Had is kind of Irreplaceable Pt. II.

UnanimousBB16 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 The era would have COMPLETELY flopped without this song being released as a single. People can continue being mad about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
