CRYING!

How the heck is Broken Hearted Girl sneaking into the top 25 :cry: :cry:

 

One of her best ever songs and a beautiful ballad :heart:

'Check On It' has finished about 10 places higher than I expected so I'll take that! Even though it deserves to be higher :wub:

"Check On It", isn't bad, but wouldn't rank it as one of her best or one of my faves, it's okay enough though, quite harmless fun.

 

"Broken Hearted Girl", lands about right here, in my opinion and deserved a better chart peak than #27 in the UK, should have at least went top 20 in my opinion.

24. "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" | Average: 6.8

 

23. "Naughty Girl" | Average: 6.8

 

22. "***Flawless Remix" (ft. Nicki Minaj) | Average: 6.9

 

21. "Run the World (Girls)" | Average: 7.0

Thank god Single Ladies is out so soon, it's aged terribly.

The Flawless remix is foul and Run the World isn't great, sad to see them above the underrated Naughty Girl.

"Single Ladies", Yes I do find it a tad overrated and while at the time, it was a good song and iconic, it just into overkill and was everywhere, then I just went completely off it, but now I have warmed to it more. Considering of how much of a classic it is, while it did top the American charts, but only managed #7 here in the UK, despite selling bucket loads.

 

"Naughty Girl", another likeable track, quite good, but not something I'd go back too, these days though. I remember listening to the album for the first time, when it came out way back in 2003, and remember thinking... This will definitely be a single. Back in those days I used to be good at picking singles from new album releases, but now I totally suck at it, ever since Leona Lewis's 'Echo' album (which I completely picked the wrong singles), I just don't have that knack for it anymore, apart from the odd one or two occasions.

 

"Flawless", never really connected with that one, so can't really give an opinion, maybe it's because Nicki Minaj features on it and I'm not a fan of hers at all.

 

"Run The World (Girls)", now this is the first real big loss for me here, at the time I admit, I wasn't that keen on it, due to it's underperformance on the charts, but now I love it and think it's very underrated and I'd personally rank it as one of her best.

Single Ladies is so overrated.

20. "Déjà Vu" (feat. Jay Z) | Average: 7.1

 

19. "Runnin' (Lose It All)" (ft. Naughty Boy and Arrow Benjamin) | Average: 7.2

 

18. "Pretty Hurts" | Average: 7.2

 

17. "Baby Boy" (feat. Sean Paul) | Average: 7.3

 

Baby Boy is a tune :music: suddenly grew on it when I came across it the other day.

The rate is going really well :)

Runnin being so low :o :( :( Such an incredible track and Beyonce's vocals shine so so badly on it :heart:

I was hoping Runnin' would be a little higher. Still sounds so good! :heart:

Apart from 7/11, this is indeed going well. I'm glad the horrendous Runnin' is out earlier than expected, it is torment on the ears. All my favourites are still in: If I Were a Boy/Drunk In Love/ Sweet Dreams/ Formation/Countdown :heart:

 

XO out next please

Deja vu is such a jam, really glad it's higher than I expected :wub:

Baby Boy being higher than Pretty Hurts, Broken Hearted Girl, Run The World (Girls) and Flawless is shocking.

 

Fun story: my friend got dumped last week and so we all went to cheer her up and singles ladies came on and well let's just say ...she wasn't on the dancefloor.

I truly believe 'Single Ladies' to be the worst song in the world ever, it's just that horrible.

I think Single Ladies is truly great. A product of its time, no doubt, but as a brilliantly well-crafted pop song that is packed with memorable hooks from start to finish (lyrically and instrumentally), I think it's completely undeniable. It's always a major moment at her concerts too. :wub:

 

Kind of surprised it's even as high as 24th though, considering the hard time it receives on this forum (worst song ever??).

"Deja Vu", always liked that one, a really good and strong lead single for the "B-Day" era, and will always be a highlight in her discography for me.

 

"Runnin' (Lose It All)", again another one of hers I still haven't connected with, find it kinda boring, but maybe in time it might grow on me.

 

"Pretty Hurts", a lovely number that should have been a chart smash and more credit, so touching and moving. I really like this one.

 

"Baby Boy", really loved this at the time, and back when Sean Paul was hot property, this was a fantastic follow up to the immense "Crazy In Love", A huge chart smash in the USA, 9 weeks at #1, and a decent peak of #2 here in the UK, but with poor sales and pretty quick drop out of the charts, this deserved so much more here in the UK, and especially at the time, I remember it being everywhere on radio and music channels. I know the sales climate was bad back then, but come on, even with this digital age, the sales should have improved on this over the years. I guess it's been kinda forgotten about now, considering some of the chart smashes that followed this through the years.
