Beyoncé Chooses First Single Off Her New Album

While her self-titled visual album is taking the entire music industry by storm, Beyoncé continues to make her own rules. Instead of putting out singles before her album, she will release the first two singles to radio next week. The Pharrell Williams-produced “Blow” heads to Top 40, while the already popular “Drunk In Love” featuring Jay Z will be serviced at R&B/Hip Hop channels. As Billboard points out, the Ryan Tedder and The-Dream penned “XO” will follow in 2014 as the second single at Top 40. Streaming services including Spotify and Rdio will have access to BEYONCÉ next week and physical copies will arrive in time for the holidays. The album is also expected to land at No. 1 at the album charts next week — with projected sales of over 200,000 units in its first three days.
