Say what you will; yay or nay, Beyonce’s single “Who run the world (Girls)” is getting a strong reaction from everyone. That’s no surprise; some consider the new era from the singer to be the most anticipated amongst all her peers due to perhaps, our expectation for Beyonce to set a standard. So far she’s off to an interesting start; the single that entered the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts at #33 (which is one of her highest debuting entries) was seen as both a notable feat as well as a slight disappointment. Clearly Beyonce has yet to promote the single, by performing or releasing the song’s video. What is being proven is that Beyonce certainly has all eyes on her – and for whatever the reason, she will obviously continue to be a hot topic. Here’s what RollingStone Magazine ranked it in their review of the new single.
RollingStone Review: 3.5/5

From "Independent Women" to "Single Ladies," girl power has long been Beyoncé's Topic A, and "Run the World (Girls)" is a blistering return to the theme. She forsakes fashionable sounds — no Eurodisco synths! — to belt over Diplo and Switch's ferocious dancehall beat. The message is party-hearty feminism. But with Gaga, Britney, Katy, Rihanna and Taylor all vying to be the queen of pop, you can bet B isn't looking to share the throne.
