Billboard is still reporting that Blow (along with DIL) is the first single, not XO.
EDIT: Though the article is from tonight, it's reporting Saturday spins. So maybe Bey's team made a last-minute switcheroo.
Pray it's XOBeyonce' On the Radio:
Through Saturday (Dec. 14), the first two singles from the album have begun receiving airplay. The urban-leaning "Drunk in Love," featuring Jay Z, drew 311 first-day plays across 70 stations monitored by Nielsen BDS. Rhythmic WBQT Boston led with 17 plays, followed by rhythmic WQHT and mainstream R&B/hip-hop WWPR New York (13 each).
Meanwhile, more pop-oriented single "Blow" tallied 87 first-day plays, championed most by rhythmic KPTT Denver (13 plays). Early major-market airplay has come from rhythmic KPWR Los Angeles and mainstream top 40 WKSC Chicago.
Billboard previously reported that "XO," a ballad penned by Ryan Tedder and The-Dream, will follow later in 2014 as the second single at top 40.
