(At least there's less confusion here unlike the other thread on what actually is the lead single or not )

They all represent their albums perfectly and I love every single one of them individually, as album tracks and as singles... I'll go with "Crazy in Love" because it's amongst my fave songs of all time but damn is this a fine selection!

Deja Vu is probably my favourite of these actually but it feels more like they just stuck a big hit as track #1 so people buy it rather than it actually making a good album opener. Pretty Hurts works best in that aspect and BEYONCÉ is easily the album I return to most of hers so I definitely revisit that song the most out of all of these anyway
