Do you feel that?
And it’s about to be released.
But of those 20 hits, which arethe best?

And how would one even determine such a lofty and inevitably problematic ranking?
(The Bey Hive is nothing if notverybusy making any and all opinions widely known these days.)
And third, I just don’t like “Halo” that much.
…Without further ado, here are Beyonce’s 10 best top 10 hits.
“Sweet Dreams” four-to-the-floored it to No.
10 on the Billboard Hot 100 on Nov. 7, 2009.
Let’s hope the Hive limbered up before even thinking of stepping a sandaled foot on that hallowed ground.
And for that reason, I will die miserable.
“Irreplaceable” put everything it owned in the No.
1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 on Dec. 16, 2006.
But, hey, that’s the price of ubiquity.
“Single Ladies” put a ring atop Billboard’s Hot 100 on Dec. 13, 2008.
“Baby Boy” gyrated to No.
1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on Oct. 4, 2003.
But what’s not to love?
“Naughty Girl” cooed its way to No.
3 on the Billboard Hot 100 on June 5, 2004.
But no other couple makes hits as indelible as “Drunk in Love.”
This, to put it simple, is the sound of a grown-ass couple who f—.
“Drunk in Love” was dranking watermeluh at No.
2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on Feb. 15, 2014.
Is third place too high for “Break My Soul”?
The song has peaked (so far) at No.
7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
However, once a video drops (hint,hint), Bey might nab herself another No.
“Formation”
“Formation” marked a seismic shift in the culture and for Beyonce.
“Formation” twirled on them haters to No.
10 on the Billboard Hot 100 on May 14, 2016.
“Crazy in Love”
The horns that started it all.
Beyonce’s first solo single is still her greatest.
Not with Beyonce’s deft hand firmly at the wheel.
Perhaps the ultimate Song of the SummerTM, “Crazy in Love” wuh-uh-oh’d to No.
1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 12, 2003.
And what a summer that was.
And what a summer we’ll have withRenaissance.
Thank you for your continued booty-shaking service, Mrs. Carter.
