The achievement is her second top 10 from Renaissance, after “Break My Soul” spent two weeks at No. 1 beginning in August. The set is her first to spin off multiple top 10s since I Am…Sasha Fierce yielded four in 2008-09: “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” (No. 1, four weeks), “If I Were a Boy” (No. 3), “Halo” (No. 5) and “Sweet Dreams” (No. 10).
What’s even more impressive, is that “Cuff It” climbed the chart without a music video or a pushed promotional strategy. The song gained traction on its own from Beyoncé fans and TikTok users, the latter of which taking part in a fun dance trend started by users Maycee (@maycsteele) and Kaitlyn (@ogpartyhardy26).
Following the exciting news of “Cuff It” making the Hot 100 top 10, Beyoncé’s fanbase — affectionately known as the Beyhive — took to Twitter to praise Queen Bey. See some fan reactions below.

Missed out on Beyoncé‘s Club Renaissance parties following the release of her seventh studio album? Well, Queen Bey gave fans a little holiday gift on Thursday (Dec. 15) when she revealed that she will be throwing two more events, this time in Los Angeles.
The event, hosted by the “Break My Soul” superstar’s entertainment company and record label Parkwood Entertainment and presented by Amazon Music, is called “Renaissance in Spacial Audio” and will take place on December 17 and 18 at 9 p.m. at an undisclosed location in Los Angeles. Fans must be at least 21 years old to enter and there is a limit to one nontransferable ticket per customer, according to the flyer posted to Bey’s website.
Back in October, Beyoncé threw a Club Renaissance party during Paris Fashion Week, with Tyler, the Creator, Doja Cat, Halsey, Naomi Campbell and Baz Luhrmann among the celebrities spotted at the invite-only party.
The Parisian fest was just one of many Club Renaissance parties the “Alien Superstar” singer had thrown in secret around the globe. Soon after her album drop, she threw a secret party in New York City, which reportedly had a Studio 54 theme, in tribute to the city’s iconic disco club. Donald Glover, Chloë and Halle Bailey, Kendrick Lamar, Janelle Monae and Questlove were all in attendance.
Beyoncé’s Renaissance was released in July and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, marking the first album by a female artist to reach the summit in 2022.
Beyoncé’s Renaissance album, which was released in July by Parkwood/Columbia Records and debuted atop the all-genre Billboard 200, as well as Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top R&B Albums, now arrives on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart at No. 1 (on the list dated Nov. 26). The set’s arrival on the list follows a reevaluation of its album genre chart categorization by Billboard, after Renaissance’s further embrace by the dance community in the months following its release.
Upon its release, the 16-track album launched a quartet of hits on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart (“Break My Soul,” “Pure/Honey,” “Summer Renaissance,” and “Thique”). Since then, the album spawned a new dance hit in its second single, “Cuff It.” The song debuted on the Hot Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart dated Nov. 19 at No. 28, following its explosion as a viral dance phenomenon (termed the “Cuff It” Challenge). The disco-leaning track was co-written by dance icon Nile Rodgers, who also plays bass on it.
Starting in September, “Cuff It” was added to dance-focused playlists across all major streamers, including Amazon, Apple Music and Spotify. Beyond “Cuff It,” further album cuts picked up new dance playlist adds in the months following the album’s release.
Plus, on Nov. 15, Renaissance garnered a Grammy Award nomination for best dance/electronic music album, while its lead single “Break My Soul” earned a nod for best dance/electronic recording. Both represent Beyoncé’s first nominations in the categories, which began in 2005 and 1998, respectively. (The album’s songs also got a trio of nominations in the Grammy Awards’ R&B field.)
Renaissance is Beyoncé’s third entry on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart, following two remix compilations: 4: The Remix (No. 11, 2012) and Above and Beyoncé (No. 2, 2009).
Billboard genre chart categorization is determined by Billboard’s charts department, using genre classifications provided by content creators as guidelines, along with consideration of how projects are promoted and marketed — at streaming services, radio and beyond. Renaissance was initially categorized, after discussions with Columbia, for Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top R&B Albums charts.
