From her splashy first hits as a soloist to her later experiments with house music and country, Beyoncé always sticks the landing — even upwards of three decades into her career.
But before we dive into her biggest hits as the mononymous, standalone performer the world knows her as today, it’s important to note that Bey had already scored four No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 well before to her solo debut. How? Say their name: Destiny’s Child, where she got her start alongside Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. The R&B trio notched a total of 14 entries on the chart — 10 of which were top 10 hits — before disbanding in 2006.
When she later set her sights on a one-woman endeavor, Bey was an immediate success. The Houston native’s first-ever solo single, “Crazy in Love” — recorded with future husband Jay-Z — spent a whopping eight weeks at No. 1 in 2003 and remains one of her biggest hits to date.
Since then, Ms. Carter has continued to top the charts with singles such as 2005’s “Check On It” with Slim Thug, 2006’s “Irreplaceable” and 2008’s “Single Ladies.” The same goes for her tracks that either pushed the boundaries of pop/R&B or shed the genre’s label altogether, with the twangy “Texas Hold ‘Em,” for instance, making Bey the first Black woman to ever top the Hot Country Songs chart in addition to ruling at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for two weeks.
The most decorated Grammy winner of all time, Beyoncé’s music has defined generations — and continues to do so. Keep reading to see her 30 biggest hits on the Billboard Hot 100 — so far, that is.
Beyoncé’s Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits ranking is based on weekly performance on the Hot 100 through March 23, 2024. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower spots earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates during various periods.
