LIST: Beyoncé's 15 Best Songs...



A few weeks ago, we listed the fifteen best songs for Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson and Rihanna on Twitter. However, we figured it might prove interesting to post the lists in their entirety on here; if only for ease of reference. 


After the jump, take a gander at which songs from Beyoncé's extensive discography have made the list and post a comment letting us know if you have any additions.


Also, stay tuned for the other five lists to be posted later on today.





15) 'Crazy In Love' - The song that launched B's solo career. Almost a decade later and still remembered by everyone that matters.


14) '03 Bonnie & Clyde' - featuring the star's husband, rap legend Jay-Z. We actually prefer this song to 'Crazy In Love'. Shocking, we know.


13) 'Naughty Girl' - the production is almost flawless, certainly one of Scott Storch's best. And B's vocals in the first verse are beautifully understated yet sultry and seductive


12) 'Scared of Lonely' - not a popular choice, we know. But we think Darkchild did a great job with this song & B's vocals are haunting.


11) 'Sweet Dreams' - Just in case an explanation is needed, we deem this song a suitable successor to it's 80's namesake.


10) 'I Care' - the guitar solo and B's vocal accompaniment ALONE reserve this song a place in our top 15.


09) 'Get Me Bodied' (I Am... Tour version) - the live drums and energetic vocals make this version better than the album alternative.


08) 'Woman Like Me' - a track from the Pink Panther soundtrack, we find B's soft, sultry vocals a beautiful accompaniment to the strings.


07) 'Green Light' - its production arguably being one of the Neptunes' best, this song is undeniably underrated.


06) 'Irreplaceable' - B's biggest states-side hit  to date, we loved the track from the first. And who can forget that iconic brush-off?


05) 'I Miss You' - B's most understated vocal to date. Beautiful in its simplicity with production reminiscent of the latter half of Phil Collin's most iconic hit, 'In The Air Tonight'.


04) 'End Of Time' - hyper vocals and stunning layering over an infectious afro-influenced beat, there isn't one thing about this song that we don't love.


03) 'Halo' - For us, very little can top B's huge, emotive chorus or the final minute of this song. Truly one of her best songs.


02) 'Me, Myself & I'- An instant, yet comparatively underrated classic, MMI sees B explore the downfall of a relationship & emerge triumphant


01) 'Deja Vu' - For us, B's best song to date. Incredibly rich production, live instrumentation, soaring vocals & a final chorus that shits.
