| The Highest-Charting Hot 100 Hit on Every Beyonce Album - Billboard Posted: 12 Aug 2020 09:22 AM PDT Since making the leap from Destiny's Child standout to solo superstar, Beyoncé has changed popular music, expanded the possibilities of a modern musical artist -- and scored a ton of indispensable hit singles along the way. While Beyonce's albums have ranged from radio-ready pop collections to eye-popping visual endeavors to exploratory sonic curations, she has often provided fans the type of fodder ripe for the upper reaches of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Check out the highest-charting Hot 100 hit from all of Beyonce's solo studio albums, from her 2003 debut to 2019's The Lion King: The Gift, which recently returned to the top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart: Dangerously In Love (2003): After watching what she had accomplished as a member of Destiny's Child, few were betting against Beyoncé's solo success when she fully arrived with 2003 debut Dangerously in Love... but if there were any doubters left, the first two singles certainly demonstrated what she could do as a commercial force. "Crazy In Love," her team-up with then-boyfriend Jay-Z, became an enduring smash, and Beyonce followed it up by tapping emerging Jamaican star Sean Paul for "Baby Boy." As a result, Dangerously in Love included multiple No. 1 Hot 100 singles -- remarkably, the only Beyoncé solo album thus far with that distinction. B'Day (2006): Beyoncé's follow-up to Dangerously in Love couldn't have asked for a stronger lead track: "Déjà Vu," a re-teaming with Jay-Z after the phenomenal success of "Crazy In Love," naturally became another huge hit for the pair, making its way to No. 4 on the Hot 100. However, "Irreplaceable" later one-upped it during the B'Day campaign: the self-affirming breakup track, marked by its "to the left, to the left" direction toward an ex, followed "Crazy in Love" as both a No. 1 single and as a record of the year Grammy nominee for Queen Bey. ("Check on It," a Slim Thug-featuring No. 1 from the soundtrack to the Steve Martin-starring remake of The Pink Panther, was later added to the set as a bonus track.) I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008): Beyonce's third solo album features arguably her most diverse array of top 10 hits: the moving ballad "If I Were a Boy" kicked off the new era by reaching No. 3 on the Hot 100, while the life-affirming pop of "Halo" electronic rhythms of "Sweet Dreams" also made their mark on top 40 radio. Yet it was "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" that fittingly climbed the highest, as one of the most beloved singles in Beyoncé's discography, an undying club staple and a video of the year recipient at the MTV Video Music Awards. 4 (2011): While Beyoncé's 2011 album 4 was her first solo full-length to not include a top 10 hit, the free-ranging LP did include three top 40 hits, including the boisterous lead single "Run the World (Girls)" (No. 29) and the vivacious "Love on Top" (No. 20). The highest-charting single from the album was perhaps its most understated: "Best Thing I Never Had," an ode to good karma that was co-produced by Babyface, reached No. 16 on the Hot 100. Beyoncé (2013): The term "pulling a Beyoncé" originated with her self-titled opus, which she surprise-released in December 2013 and upended the music industry's tried-and-true rollout strategy in the process. While Beyoncé -- also a visual album, with videos for each track -- stands as one of the most acclaimed full-lengths of her career, "Drunk in Love" also returned Beyoncé and Jay-Z to pop radio, reaching No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart and winning Grammys for best R&B song and best R&B performance. Lemonade (2016): Like Beyoncé before it, Lemonade received an unorthodox rollout, as the second visual album was accompanied by an HBO film of the same name upon its April 2016 unveiling. Unlike Beyoncé, however, Lemonade was preceded by a proper single -- the combustible, trap-inspired "Formation," which was released one day before Super Bowl 50, and then performed by Beyoncé during its halftime show alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars. While the song was Lemonade's only top 10 hit, "Sorry" and "Hold Up" peaked at Nos. 11 and 13, respectively. The Lion King: The Gift (2019): Since the release of 2016's Lemonade, Beyoncé has remained a steady presence near the top of the Hot 100: she's scored No. 1 hits with reworked versions of Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" and Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage," and reached No. 3 on a remix of J Balvin and Willy William's global smash "Mi Gente." And along with projects like her legendary Coachella headlining set, the Homecoming live album that chronicled that performance and her 2018 joint album with Jay-Z as The Carters, Queen Bey also created The Lion King: The Gift, a soundtrack album to coincide with the 2019 remake of The Lion King and then her 2020 visual project Black Is King. Its highest-charting hit, the heartfelt "Brown Skin Girl," features Wizkid, SAINt JHN and Beyonce's own daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. |
| Posted: 21 Jul 2020 12:00 AM PDT It's safe to say Beyonce is one of the most successful popstars of the new millennium — so when she announces a huge new project, it's no surprise the internet goes into a flutter. Queen Bey has dropped the trailer for Black Is King ahead of its release next week, and the hype is already building. Here's your shortcut guide to what we know about it so far. What is Black Is King?Black Is King is a visual album created to "celebrate the breadth and beauty of Black ancestry", according to a lengthy Instagram post ahead of its imminent release. Beyonce explains in her post that it was originally created as a companion piece to The Lion King: The Gift album, which she curated. The Lion King: The Gift complemented the 2019 remake of The Lion King, in which she voiced the character of Nala, and her own song Spirit was also featured on the movie's soundtrack. "It is my passion project that I have been filming, researching and editing day and night for the past year," her post read. Loading... The official trailer has already racked up more than 1.5 million views on YouTube, and features some recognisable faces like husband Jay Z, Lupita Nyong'o, Kelly Rowland and more. It's not yet clear if Black Is King will include Beyonce's recent single Black Parade, released on the weekend of Juneteenth. What makes something a 'visual album'?A visual album is usually defined by a film or a series of film clips to accompany a body of musical work. Aside from the obvious of there being something to look at rather than just music to hear, a lot of the criteria can be fairly subjective. A perfect example though is Beyonce's own production of Lemonade, dubbed by Vox as "one of the best movies of the 2010s". The hour-long creation debuted on HBO in 2016 — all 12 tracks from the record debuted on Billboard's Hot 100, and it spent an impressive 17 weeks on the chart. Lemonade is still available to stream on Tidal, Amazon Music and iTunes — and now could be the perfect time for a refresher on that iconic strut down the street in a flowing yellow gown, baseball bat in hand. If we're lucky, Black is King will eventually get the same treatment and you'll be able to listen to your favourite bits on the bus — but there's no indication yet if or when that will happen.  What other visual albums might I have heard (of)?Loading... You've heard of The Beatles, right? A Hard Day's Night, released at the crest of Beatlemania was a visual album to epitomise the Swinging Sixties. It was released a couple of weeks after the album of the same name and featured most of the songs and, despite being quite naff, became a hugely influential work in the years to come across multiple formats. In later decades, Pink Floyd's The Wall and Prince's Purple Rain were other high watermarks of the genre, with the latter catapulting its artist to number one in the singles, album and movie box office charts simultaneously in 1984. In more recent times, we've seen offerings like 2010's Runaway from — checks notes — US presidential hopeful Kanye West. When will it be released?July 31 — which isn't far away, Beyonce fans. How can we see it?Black Is King will stream exclusively on Disney+. Beyonce thanked the platform via Instagram for "giving this Black woman the opportunity to tell this story". The streaming service has recently ditched its free trial offer, so you'll need a subscription to see Black Is King when it's released. |
