Live performances

The Huffington Post later confirmed that Knowles is 5 months pregnant and her pregnancy announcement had broken the "most tweets per second recorded for a single event" Twitter record, receiving 8,868 tweets per second. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/29/beyonce-pregnancy-twiter-record-mtv-vmas_n_941064.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.168.195.60 (talk) 11:11, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If this is released as a single................................

If this is released as a single, i will withdraw the GAN. Jivesh • Talk2Me 16:59, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think news of an official single release is here... THIS was just posted on the official New Zealand website... Theuhohreo (talk) 13:59, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. As far as i see, "Party" does not have one. It is evident as it was not even sent to radio. Jivesh • Talk2Me 16:52, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can see? No it has not been sent to radio. Yes it seems to be the dominating factor of Urban radio, but that does not contribute to a release. From what I see, "Love on Top" is the albums third single. Theuhohreo (talk) 17:14, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm now it is high time some people here understand that. I have already left a note on "Party"'s talk-page. Let's not talk here or else we will be reminded this is not a forum. Lol. Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:21, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case you care!!!!!!!!

LOT was viewed 346 times on August 28, 2011. After the VMAs, the number of views rose to just above 8600. Jivesh • Talk2Me 18:18, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

amazing news Jivesh!!! "Love on Top" is dominating the US iTunes (#6)!!! I can not believe people had wanted to delete this page.. the buffoonery!!!! Theuhohreo (talk) 19:52, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Jimee, i hsd complete faith that you would reply. We are really the dominating (lol) King B stans here. Jivesh • Talk2Me 04:36, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Um guys, just wanna remind you of WP:NOTFORUM? Novice7 (talk) 04:38, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. The main thing i wanted to et know was about the number of views it received. This can be mentioned as per the talk-page of Knowles Wikiproject. Sorry for the rest. Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:04, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's okay. Just wanted to remind you in case you forgot :) Novice7 (talk) 06:59, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chart performance charts

We only use charts when there are numerous chartings to be covered easily. Do you think that a chart is necessary here? I Help, When I Can.[12] 21:38, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wait till one week and you will see how many will added as well. Jivesh • Talk2Me 04:02, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First look through

  • 1 disambiguation wikilink, one suspicious url/link and one expiring news link. Try to fix them. :)
disambiguation wikilink  Fixed Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
One Thirty BPM, hmm i can assure you it is a reliable link. Metacritic counts it. Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. :) - Sauloviegas (talk) 13:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Lead

  • ""Love on Top" consists of six key changes." I think it would be better if you moved this phrase to the end of the first paragraph, were you talk about Knowles' rarely used high range.  Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "After Knowles' performance of "Love on top" at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards" -> "After Knowles' performance at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards". You already talked about the performance, so there is no point to repeat the song title again. But, if you feel or decide to keep it: "Love on top" -> "Love on Top".
 Done I fixed it according to your first suggestion. Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • ""Love on Top" also appeared at number 75 on the UK Singles Chart and at number 14 on the New Zealand Singles Chart in early September 2011." -> ""Love on Top" also appeared at number seventy-five on the UK Singles Chart and at number fourteen on the New Zealand Singles Chart in early September 2011."
I disagree here per WP:NUMBERS. Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't knew about that! :O - Sauloviegas (talk) 13:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Background and development

  • ""Love on Top" was written by Beyoncé Knowles, Terius Nash and Shea Taylor and was produced by Knowles and Taylor." - > ""Love on Top" was written by Beyoncé Knowles, Terius Nash and Shea Taylor, while song production was done by Knowles and Taylor."  Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Music style and lyrics

I did it although i think the previous title was the best as critics laid much emphasis on the music style. 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Critical reception

  • "Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine gave "Love on Top" a positive review". Every review before this one has been positive. Why specify that he gave a positive review to the song? He gave the album a negative review? (I hope you understood what I'm saying :) ).  Fixed Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Adam Markovitz of Entertainment Weekly compared Knowles' work on "Love on Top" to that of past idols such as Luther Vandross and Diana Ross, but felt the tone overshadowed Knowles' style, stating "she gets lost in her idols' polyester-swathed shadows."" This is the only one that sounds mixed... If it really is, I think you should note this one as mixed, instead of noting the review above as positive.  Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chart performance

  • You used the same url for the three references about South Korea's Gaon chart.
It is because they cannot be archived. But i did mention the dates needed. Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:29, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Live performances

  • Ok, about the picture. It isn't a screenshot. It looks like a professional copyrighted picture. I can tell because this is the actual screenshot, and this is copyrighted to Jeff Kravitz and FilmMagic. Either remove this or replace with the actual screenshot.
Thank you for the image. Where can i watch the video? All the videos were removed form YouTube. Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know where... :( I couldn't watch the VMAs and I'm dying to see the performance. I found this screencapture at Google, but it actually is a screencapture. - Sauloviegas (talk) 09:29, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A label or team does not need to confirm a single... — Status {talkcontribs  19:22, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Beyonce's team does so everytime. So please zip it up now. I am just fed up of you. I do not want to be rude but you are making my blood boil. Seriously. This is too much. Jivesh • Talk2Me 19:37, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So, it is a single or not? Otherwise, I'll have to see if I'll pass this article or withdraw the nomination. - Sauloviegas (talk) 09:32, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As you see people on Wikipedia re very stubborn. I will tell you for sure tomorrow. Please bear with me. And thanks for being so kind. Jivesh • Talk2Me 13:08, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cover

Is this the cover for the single? 77.29.81.215 (talk) 17:33, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I sincerely do not think so. Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:48, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lead too long

The lead does not satisfy MOS:LEAD and gets into too much detail. It should have no more than three paragraphs based on its prose length. I quickly prepared a possible lead at User:Wikipedian Penguin/sandbox to get an idea of how the lead should be structured. This does not have to be exactly the way the lead should be, but something like it. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 19:19, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The lead is not long. It appears to be long because i have broken it into four paragraphs. And concerning you concern about too much of details, this one has all these details because it was a very notable one, i mean it got numerous reviews. That is actually what validated its existence on Wikipedia before being announced as a single. You can have a look at the AFD. Jivesh boodhun (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 19:37, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is very probable the lead will be re-written after a few weeks (that is, when it starts falling down the charts) and then be nominated for GA. Jivesh boodhun (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 19:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fine, but you'll have to find some way to shorten it down per MOS:LEAD#Length's table. It does not deserve four paragraphs. As one of the five MOS guidelines to pass GAN, this is very important. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 19:46, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A lead can consist of 4 paragraphs per MOS:LEAD#Length. Hmmm, which article do you think deserve four paragraphs? I hope that you are not weighing the number of paragraphs with the commercial reception of a song? If yes, that is not done. Jivesh boodhun (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 04:42, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
With a quick character count via script, we can see that this article does not have the sufficient length to have a fourth paragraph, per the table. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 17:58, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. I did not know about all that. Seriously. Can you give me the link to the table? I never knew all these details could be checked. Jivesh boodhun (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 18:03, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
See this. Remember that prose size does not include lists, reference lists, infoboxes and the TOC. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 18:09, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Another thing you can do is copy/paste the prose (minus reflists/ lists and infoboxes) onto Microsoft Word and do a character count there. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 18:10, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My sincere thanks to you. Jivesh boodhun (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 18:18, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, just want articles to be their best. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 18:21, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving links to avoid the same issues that occurred on "Party"'s page

Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:01, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Release Scrapped?

Its been removed from FMQB, from Radio & Records, and it's not even on All Access.....So, i think it's best to not list it as a single for the time being until source issues have been justified. 68.62.240.86 (talk) 02:45, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those sites list the new releases that week. They change. That's why we usually archive them. | helpdןǝɥ | 03:28, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You are totally wrong. R&R is automatically archived. Why would FMQB and Allaccess remove only "Love on Top" from their list of songs going for adds on September 20, 2011 when the rest are still there? You could have cared to visit those links at least once before replying to the IP. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 04:55, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. I see what you mean. | helpdןǝɥ | 15:44, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, yes. It appears that both "Party" and "Love on Top" have been scrapped... | helpdןǝɥ | 15:45, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think that these scrapped releases should be briefly mentioned in all articles they apply to. | helpdןǝɥ | 15:47, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not get me wrong but this was what i was trying to tell you as well as Status last time. You two do not really follow how Beyonce's singles are managed. It does not matter how many team she changes. That does not mean she will have a new strategy each time. Otherwise, she will run out of strategies one day. I knew from the beginning that even LOT will not be a single. Mark my words, the next single will either be "Party" (35% chance) or "Countdown" (45% chance). There is a 20% chance for "End of Time". Wait and watch. Perhaps you will find everything i have written irrelevant but that will certainly be because you do not follow everything about Beyonce. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 15:51, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea how to do that. Can you please do it? Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 15:52, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See. Here we go. We all see that this song was removed now. I wonder what the hell her label is doing? Planning to send two songs to radio, and then pulling them. — Status {talkcontribs  23:09, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I knew from the beginning this was going to happen. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 08:47, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's great and all, but every single one of those resources have been re-edited to exclude "Love on Top"'s single release! Which is the main point here. The single was cancelled. The newest rumor is a "Party"/"Countdown" double release, one for Urban one for Pop, but this is all still unconfirmed. As far as Wikipedia is concerned, 4 only released two single. UhOh STACK STACK STACK 19:22, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The answer lies in what you have posted: was listed as being sent for adds. It is no longer a single. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 19:20, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Third International Single

Several sources state that it's the next international single, Source 1 and Source 2, so it should be mentioned. 68.62.240.86 (talk) 15:55, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of media outlets like that refer to a song as a single because they are misinformed. It like in one of the reviews for Rihanna's Louod, the song Fading (song) was referred to as a single, when it isn't. Calvin • NaNaNaC'mon! 15:57, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Third international single? When her team announced that a preview of the video will be shown, they referred to it as an album track unlike "Countdown". What Calvin has said is totally right. Videos have been shot for all songs on 4. That does not mean all of them will become singles when their respective videos will premiere. As far as i know (form Knowles' label), "Countdown" is th third international single. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:02, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Contradicting you OWN sources, this and this. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:39, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ya, Countdown is the third single, but only in the US and the UK.......and look at the dates of the sources you cited, it was before those sites got word that Love On Top is going to be the third single internationally....68.62.240.86 (talk) 16:51, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non of them mention this third thing. This is what makes the information you provided further misleading. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:55, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But it has been already announced on the New Zealand version of Beyonce's official site that it's the third single there. Source....so, im gonna add the information back.....

This has already been discusses on her page. Her discography and everywhere else. It is simply not a single. The announcement was made there. Several websites confirm "Countdown" as the third single. Your edits will be reverted as all the previous ones were reverted. I suggest that you read the talk-page of her discography's page. Please. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:03, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As you see, your edit was reverted even before i could do something. This has been discussed countless times now. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:06, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, your source says next international single and now you are telling that it is already released. As you see, logically, everything you are doing is misleading. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:07, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But it has been already added to Australian radio as the third single there.[Source http://www.themusicnetwork.com/music-releases/singles/2011/09/12/issue--853/beyonce---love-on-top/]. You do the math, it has been announced as the third single in the New Zealand and Australian verison of Beyonces official website..then it was added to Australian radio in September 2011...and now the music video sneak peak prmeiered on an Australian TV channel...come on, its so obvious..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.240.86 (talk) 17:17, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did you care to seethe discussion on her discography's talk page instead of telling me more and more each time? You will get all your answers there. And no, you are wrong. Shooting a video for a song does not make it a single. Is "Freakum Dress" a single? "Suga Mama"? The recent "1+1"? I can give you a list of you want. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:21, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then why was it officialy sent to Australian radio? Source.......Can you atleast mention that it was offically added to Australian radio on September 12.....68.62.240.86 (talk) 17:24, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By any chance, did you know about this:

The "1+1" video is the story of love at its best. It's about commitment and fulfillment and it's Beyoncé at her most beautiful. The video experiments with psychedelic visual effects and innovative lighting that gives the clip a cinematic feel. "1+1," .... the first song on the album and it's the first of many videos which will be released to visually tell the story of 4. The dress rehearsal clip backstage at AI, "Pregame" became an instant viral hit as soon as it hit the web.

★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:26, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know Australian radios were playing it before it was, as you say, officially sent? We have been here since years, yes many years. Do you believe it is only now that we will start fabulating single releases? ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:27, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But the point is that it was officially sent to Australian radio, it doesnt matter if they were playing it before....the label officially sent it to australian radio and [ http://www.themusicnetwork.com/music-releases/singles/2011/09/12/issue--853/beyonce---love-on-top/ This source is reliable] and is worth mentioning atleast.68.62.240.86 (talk) 17:30, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think it is worth mentioning when it is not a single? ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:31, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

yes, i do......Anyway, Knowles official New Zealand and Australian websites announced it as a single in September 8....then it was officially sent to Australian radio on September 12....so it is a single....ypu want to call it an airplay only single in Australia, fine...but it is an offical single there.......and it did chart on the ARIA chart....oh and why is it ok for Gaga's Dance in the Dark to add the Australian radio adds date in their release history......68.62.240.86 (talk) 17:38, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe because it also received a promotional digital release. And you are again bringing the same thing. LOT debuted on the official charts in both NZ and AUS before being sent to radio. So there is not relation with regards to its charts. And this is also on the talk-page of her discography's page. I told you all your answers are there. ARIA does not count airplay while compiling its charts. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:45, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What does the fact that ARIA does not count airplay while compiling its charts have to do with anything.......Record labels send songs to radio so people can here it and then buy it on iTunes.......and this source not only gives the official radio adds date but also calls it the next single so, please stop it...........68.62.240.86 (talk) 17:55, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) No, you stop. You are completely misinformed about everything. Until Beyonce's record label says "Love on Top is the fourth single to be released from 4" in an official statement, the article is not changing to single status, and your edits will be reverted every time. Calvin • NaNaNaC'mon! 18:00, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It states the same for "Dance in the Dark". And you are telling me to stop it when i am being so patient with you since the beginning! ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:58, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, im sorry......i don't want to cause a feud between us......68.62.240.86 (talk) 18:04, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is okay. I understand. I am sure we will get some confirmation soon. But it is unlikely to happen in the near future. "Countdown" has just been properly released. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 18:06, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beyoncé 's new video, "Love on Top," feels like the male counterpoint to "Single Ladies."

Promotional single or not

  • Hung Median is reliable for charts and nothing else. If you can find an actual copy of the CD then it's more than likely a promo, but not from that source alone. The cover is iffy, its original source is from here. Remove it. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 06:38, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with you Lakeshade. Hung Medien cannot be trusted in this case. As for the song, we don't have a reliable source to confirm the 3:08 cut (a few forums state it's the video version, sent to radios. We can't use them.) Novice7 (talk) 06:51, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll echo what I said in my talk page. Hung Medien is not reliable for determining the single or promo-single release status of a song. And wow, everything nowadays seems to be about Ray of Light ---> referencing Jivoo dahling's comment "faster than the speed of light". Novice, that's one track you can't get enough. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:59, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
ROL is simply epic I simply can't at the number of wigs it snatched. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 07:02, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, ROL is amazing! When I first saw the music video on TV back in 2000 (I think), I fell in love. But then, I didn't know who sang it (or who Madonna was!) but I did find it :) Novice7 (talk) 12:22, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Now I'm not sure. I've been told before that Hung Medien was reliable for release formats. And the 3:08 cut is the version they're playing on Australian radio. Oz talk 07:16, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • In my opinion, this is a promotional single only if it was released somewhere for digital download alone. And it mostly did, but not apart from the album. It is not a single, for sure. And that artwork is real, I guess. Is this reliable? This case is the same as "1+1"... - Saulo Talk to Me 08:46, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well i do not know how far it is reliable but "1+1" got a separate digital release. The download link was deleted from iTunes once the album was released. And there were various reliable website which clearly stated it was released as a promo single. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 09:01, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can't tell the authenticity of that cover artowork, but it looks fake and is from artwork from the album notes. I am sure that it is safe to not consider "Love on Top" a promotional single. Hung Medien is definitely not a reliable source for a song's release method. Take "Lighters" for example. The Hung Medien link says that the song was released as a CD single on June 20, but that is incorrect. The song is yet to be released anywhere but on radio and was not released on radio until July 3. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 10:22, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think the artwork is genuine. After it is just a cover, not a single cover. I will try to contact Columbia through Twitter. Hopefully they reply. (for the artwork) ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 11:19, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
