09 · 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)' (7.38)

Now for one of the most iconic songs, or more like music videos of recent times! The 'Single Ladies' dance defined the end of 2008/beginning of 2009 and Beyoncé has won many awards for the video and its creativity. The video probably also holds the title for the most infamous award never won, as it was beaten by Taylor Swift's 'You Belong To Me' for Best Female Video during the 2009 MTV VMAs where Kanye West interrupted Taylor's speech to declare 'Single Ladies' as "one of the best videos of all time". Anyway - a bit about the song... It's quite love/hate due to the screechy music but I do love it myself and it's a great anthem in my opinion, so I don't see why it's so hated. The dance was also performed on hit US TV show 'Glee' in the first half of its series which scored a then series-high for viewing figures!

08 · 'Scared Of Lonely' (7.43)

Now for one of my personal favourite Beyoncé ballads off the album - and possibly all-time! This is my most-played album track by Beyoncé and it definitely doesn't wear on me! I literally love everything about this song from the music the the lyrics! The chorus is great and is another that shows of Beyoncé's powerful vocals. I reckon this could've made a great single - as despite the fact that I love songs such as 'Broken-Hearted Girl', I think it's a bit too musically similar to the far superior 'Halo'; so this should've been a single instead of the former.

Now for another slow ballad and I do quite like this. Bey's vocals are top notch once again with a fierce chorus! This is another one with really nice backing music too (I feel like I'm repeating myself now!) but I am fairly surprised it finished so high; it was almost eternally liked, with only 6/20 rates below 7!

STUNNING would be an understatement. Flawless vocals throughout with chilling lyrics; this is one of Beyoncé's (many) career highlights! One of my main memories of this song was watching my friend dance to this is my GCSE drama class and she did it more than justice! This is definitely a popular song, as despite only being an album track, one video alone has racked up over 7,000,000 views on YouTube; which just goes to show Beyoncé doesn't need a robotic glove to be the Queen of R&B and I really think that if this had been a single it'd be HUGE! This is the kind of song that makes me proud to be a Beyoncé fan. Without the rates of 4 and 5 that this received, it'd be comfortably sitting inside the top three!

05 · 'Radio' (8.19)

The first song into the top five is the final album-track to fall (although it was released as a low-key single in various areas across Europe)! This is my probably my favourite album track and it's a massive stomper of a song too! The chorus is incredibly infectious and slightly reminds me of 'Sweet Dreams' and 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)'. This is another song that the total was lowered by two individual rates - and it would've placed inside the top three without them; its next lowest rates were 7. I don't know what else to say without repeating myself from this post and other songs, but I really love this track and it's probably the only song I'm majorly disappointed about its finishing position.

So that's IWAB, Halo, Sweet Dreams & Broken-Hearted Girl, will have to go for Sweet Dreams, though prefer SL and SIY!
Ahh Radio! :wub: So should have been released, would have been a smash hit!
