After making its debut on another site a couple of days ago, the video for Beyonce’s new single ‘Countdown’ went public via her Youtube/Vevo account just a few hours ago.
Look, despite the fact that ‘Run The World (Girls)’ didn’t really set the charts on fire, the video for it was something else entirely. A bank full of cash splashed on it, some incredible dance routines, mountains of extras and some spectacular costumery ensured it was utterly brilliant – and certainly in the running for ‘clip of the year’ at this stage for us.
‘Countdown’, though obviously created a little more thriftily, is no less spectacular, with its clever uses of colour, movement, wigs and outfits. It keeps you interested from wo (black turtle-neck wearin’, black beehive sportin’ Beyonce) to go (natural, blinking Beyonce).
Australia's first stop for pop!

Hey Anonymous,
We’ve heard nothing thus far as to whether Sony will be releasing the track locally – but if/when they do, you’ll read about it on-site.

“End of Time” should’ve been the first single because it would’ve performed well in the European territories as well as here in Australia and NZ.
“Countdown” should’ve been the second single instead of Best Thing I Never Had.
I feel like Beyonce’s new team is horrible! She needs her dad back. Anyways Auspop, do you know if Sony will be releasing “Countdown” in Australia?

Such good videos, but such horrible songs. This album has been horrible. Hopefully the next will be much better.
