From her unprecedented early hits as a solo artist to her later experimentation with music and country, Beyoncé always sticks to the landing — even more than three decades into her career.
But before we dive into her biggest hits as the self-titled, stand-alone artist that people know her as today, it's important to note that Bey already had four No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 long before her solo debut. How? Name them: Destiny's Child, where she started with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. The R&B trio scored a total of 14 chart entries – 10 of which were top 10 hits – before disbanding in 2006.
When she later set her sights on a one-woman effort, Bey had immediate success. The Houston native's first solo single, “Crazy in Love” — recorded with her future husband Jay-Z — spent 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 the tracks that either crossed the boundaries of pop/R&B or rejected the genre label altogether, with the heavy “Texas Hold 'Em,” for example, making Bey the first black woman to ever top the Hot Country Songs chart in addition at number 1 on the Hot 100 for two weeks.
The most awarded 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 on a reverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the most and weeks at No. 1 earning the lowest places to win the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, seasons are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates during various periods.
