Taken from her fourth studio album "4," Beyonce referred "Countdown" as "really experimental."

"I wanted to do something refreshing and different, so I mixed genres and drew inspiration from touring, traveling, watching rock bands, and attending festivals… I was like a mad scientist, putting lots of different songs together. Boyz II Men were the first ones to put Destiny's Child on tour. They showed us how to treat an opening act and I will never forget that. That was 15 years ago! Wow, 15 years! I'm old." Beyonce had told Digital Spy.

Beyonce is pregnant!

Beyonce herself revealed the news at the recently concluded 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.

While walking on the red carpet, she hinted the press she has "a surprise."

On stage, following her electrifying performance of her song "Love on Top," Beyonce unbuttoned her jacket, showed her baby bump and told the crowd that she is expecting her first child with Jay-Z.

“I want you to feel the love that’s growing inside of me," Beyonce said.

In her recent interview with In Style magazine, Beyonce had said,  “Now I’m a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage. I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children.”

The pregnancy announcement made history in the popular social networking site Twitter.

"Last night at 10:35 pm, Beyonce's big MTV #VMA moment gave Twitter a record bump: 8,868 Tweets per second," Twitter Global announced.

The previous record was 7,196 tweets per second which was made last July during the grand final match between Japan and USA in the women's World Cup.

Meanwhile, among the tweets pertaining to Beyonce's pregnancy included those from the singer's friends and family. Among them were the following:

“I’m sooo happy for Beyonce & Jay Z,” reality TV star Kim Kardashian tweeted. “Be’s preggo!!! Congrats!”

“I Finally get to say congratulations to Beyoncé and Sean Carter,” singer-song writer The Dream tweeted. “Bless You Both!”

“We couldn’t be more excited,” Beyonce's little sister Angie tweeted. “The sweet anticipation of the new arrival!”

Beyonce, 29, and Jay-Z, 41, got married on April 4, 2008 in New York City.

Just before her highly anticipated performance at the MTV Video Music Awards 2011 this Sunday, Beyonce released the very sexy and emotional music video of her single "1+1."

On the video, Beyonce went away from her signature MV with heavy dance moves. The video instead highlighted the emotions of song by playing with psychedelic visual effects and innovative lighting, giving it a cinematic feel.

"1+1" is the opening ballad of Beyonce's fourth studio album, "4." The tittle of the song is said to be based on the line: "I don’t know much about algebra, but I know that one plus one equals two". It is also said to resemble Benyoce's 2009 single, "Halo."
