20. Formation (Lemonade, 2016)
“It has so much meaning and power behind it. It sparks conversation, and very iconic. It has a deep message, which shows that Beyoncé is more than just a singer. She’s also an activist. It has a lot of meaning and Bey slays hard in the video.”
19. Beautiful Liar (B’Day, 2006)
“It’s the best…I think…cause it has that peppy music to it…and the spicy voice and the sensuality loaded video…hash! Breathtaking…the offbeat singing..and the heart broken words…shakira’s waist and magic..makes… it the best! Love it always…”
18. Telephone (The Fame Monster,2008)
“Great song. Beyonce and Lady Gaga are unstoppable together. This song is catchy and actually makes sense. It is the best song of Beyonce. Be sure that if you will hear it once, you will listen to it all day! BEST DUO EVER!”
17. Baby Boy (Dangerously in Love, 2003)
“Her vocal harmonies on the second chorus are at once tender and seductive, meeting the purpose of the song. Even Sean Paul isn’t that annoying on this one, as his patois works well with an Arabic-inspired beat. The problem, though, is that very Arabic-inspired beat.”
16. Diva (I Am… Sasha Fierce, 2008)
“Most of Beyonce’s best moments have a more or less apparent connection to vintage funk, even if it often comes mixed with more contemporary sound elements. ‘Diva’, however, is something a bit different, as it opts for a completely futuristic approach.”

15. Pretty Hurts (Beyoncé, 2013)
“Pretty Hurts is genuinely amazing.. It’s one of her best works.. A reflection of what beauty really is.. And the price of it. The video was enough to reduce me to tears. r vocals are deeply beautiful and it has a meaning in it. Ladies should understand and love this song. Flawless!”
14. End of Time (4, 2011)

13. XO (Beyoncé, 2013)
“This song always puts me in a good mood. The lyrics make me feel like I don’t have any worries and I can just close my eyes and dream. Just good inside. Not like happy, more like relieved. Relieved of all the stress in the world because when you listen to this song it makes you forget about all of that and just want to hold on to someone and never let go”
12. Countdown (4, 2011)
“To me, this represents a more mature Beyonce. Her sound is entirely original, with the funky, African inspired beats and pounding drums. Her vocals are spectacular, and Beyonce has never been better! She manages to show off ALL of her artistry and vocals in one song.”
11. Drunk in Love (Beyoncé, 2013)
“It boasts this hard-hitting trap beat with oily synths, a forceful bassline, and unyielding percussion. It’s sound is agreeable. Obviously, Bey’s vocals are absolutely impeccable, and the crescendo works here. Her wails in the chorus are surprisingly excellent”
10. Run the World (Girls) (4, 2011)
“A great song to dance to and to express who u are and how u feel at that partially moment. favorite song. She is such an inspiring person Beyonce is. Great lyrics, powerful music and her strong voice make it perfect.”
9. Sweet Dreams (I Am… Sasha Fierce, 2008)
“Has to be this. It’s easily her best song and she will never make a song better than this. Ever. Not only does she show her good vocals on this but it’s also a song you can dance to because of the beat. Catchy, Funky, Straight to the point, and has her best vocals yet, not talking about the production quality.”
8. Listen (B’Day, 2007)
“Although all Beyonce’s songs are amazing, there’s something about Listen that just makes it stand out more to me. Maybe it’s the lyrics or the power and emotion in it, not that there’s not power or emotion in her other songs & lyrics. Queen Bey never misses a note, and she is always completely in control of her powerful voice.”
7. Love on Top (4, 2011)
“Beyonce was good to me before this and now I can not get enough of Love On Top. Oh, I am not a “flighty” teen or young person: I am a vocalist in my 50’s that recognizes immediately something like this that brings out the true talent of a person. Love, love, love LOVE ON TOP”

6. Best Thing I Never Had (4, 2011)
“This song is less obvious than the other big ballads but it’s a close call with about 5 other songs. This song has a slightly more vicious tone to it. A little spiteful and stronger than the usual love songs Her voice is gorgeous in this song. She did a really great film clip to this song.”
5. If I Were a Boy (I Am… Sasha Fierce, 2008)
“Such a great song. You can really hear the emotion she puts behind her voice and I think all of us, women, can relate to this song one way or another. Even though its not one of her most popular songs, it is one of her best and most emotional songs. Broken hearted girl is also another amazing song.”
4. Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) (I Am… Sasha Fierce, 2008)
“This song is just so fun! I love Beyonce because some of her songs are like Halo and if I were a boy: deep and meaningful and then some like this and love on top: just fun and cute. And she’s so articulate without being too deep to understand with her lyrics.”
3. Irreplaceable (B’Day, 2006)
“This is the beast of all the beyonce songs I think if this isn’t good than all her songs aren’t good because this song went through everyone’s mind ever since it came out. This is the best listen to it please you will love it”

“This song did make beyonce. Even though she’s had many more hits and some might arguably be greater this is the best song of the decade single ladies is second and this song started beyonce solo career Also this song has been extremely successful and it is the best pop song of the decade on the billboard charts”
1. Halo (I Am… Sasha Fierce, 2008)
