According to AllAccess "Beauty and a Beat" has not been released to pop radio, and there's currently no add date. I think they just put out the video to calm the Beliebers down and give the song a head-start in sales.

Is anyone else surprised at what a non-event Ke$ha's new single is? It's only sold 326K copies in its first 2 weeks. That's not bad, but it's pretty far off from the "epic comeback" her stans have been bragging about all year.

I saw somewhere that the add date was October 29th, but I may be wrong :huh:

That makes no sense, though. Songs don't need a head start in sales domestically, especially third and fourth singles. The video should have been used to make the sales have a momentary pop when the song is peaking on the radio. I can already tell that timing will be off this single.

Videos should definitely come before the airplay peak unless you're Katy Perry and your songs rise and peak quickly.

The point is to maximize billboard chart position by allowing the airplay and sales peak to occur simultaneously. The point of a video (and a remix album) is to create a short-term sales bubble to push the sales peak slightly higher when the song needs it most.

It seems silly to waste the music video when the song hasn't even been added to Chr/Pop and wasn't even in the top 100 of iTunes.

Well "As Long as You Love Me"'s video came out months ago and it's just now peaking on radio. His team seems to know what they're doing. When you have a fanbase as rabid and young as the Beliebers, you can't keep them constantly waiting on new videos.

It's still doing better than any recent lead single except for Taylor. With only 3 million twitter followers and a long break, nobody was excepting a jackrabbit start for her like ID.
