End of Time
Countdown
Run the World (Girls)
Party
I Care

My top 2 are leagues ahead tbh, and 4 is a great album wub.gif I was never too partial to Party like many others were, I like it but in terms of Bey singles it’s not anywhere near the best of the best

1) Countdown
2) Run the World
3) End of Time
4) Love On Top
5) Best Thing I Never Had
6) I Care
7) Party

'Love On Top' used to be one of my favourites but I think overexposure, both through radio and the memes, has taken the shine off and it's not been able to recover.

End of Time

Love On Top
Party
Countdown
I Care

End of Time was the smash that never was! It's a massive song and should've been released way earlier! It's one of those that people will question the #39 peak it got in the UK. Very strong set of singles but I never realised I Care was released? When? Party was barely a single release also.

Probably my favourite Beyonce album tbh heart.gif

The top two are god tier, I honestly thought this album only had 4 singles, completely didn't register there was more laugh.gif Although I Was Here would've been the perfect final single!

Just a slight alteration - I'd place 'End of Time' second:

1) Countdown
2) End of Time
3) Run the World
4) Love On Top
5) Best Thing I Never Had

Looking back, this is probably my favourite B era. The whole list of singles is soo strong, as was the rest of the rercord. It does feel like it was her least successful/remembered one, which is such a shame.

It does seem fairly overlooked. It was a big hit right off the bat with the Glastonbury headline spot but I don't think they had an organised plan of what to do with the era after. I believe the third single in the UK was 'Love On Top' but not until the end of November, which too long a wait after the second single. Then 'End of Time' was a UK-only single so naturally didn't receive that much of a push from Beyonce herself. It's a shame because, looking at the list of singles, they all sound like they could have been potentially big.

I couldn't agree more tbh. On paper this era should've been her most successful looking at the list of singles but somehow it feels like it's the most 'forgotten' era for lack of a better word. Sure 'Love On Top' and 'Run The World (Girls)' are well known songs to the public but nothing else from the album really stuck simply because there wasn't enough of a driving force of a campaign.

I'm not a big fan of when artists release singles only for one region like they did for this album, surely it makes a lot more sense to push one single at a time globally than to split up the focus between multiple songs in multiple regions?

For me it was quite easy to rank them, I couldn't decide between I Care/Party as bottom, they've both great tracks though.

1. End of Time
2. Countdown
3. Love On Top
4. Run The World (Girls)
5. Best Thing I Never Had
6. I Care
7. Party
