The total is still 59 for both.  Anyway I extended the OP into a top 15 + Katy and Gaga are now both #5.

I counted 35 for Beyonce (solo) and I'm not sure about Destiny's Child. Feel free to correct

 

USA: 5

Japan: 0
UK: 5
Germany: 1
France: 1
Australia: 1

Canada: 0
Italy: 1
Netherlands: 2
Sweden: 1
Spain: 2
Switzerland: 2
Belgium: 1

Austria: 0
Norway: 3

Denmark: 2

Finland: 0
Ireland: 4
New Zealand: 4

I didn't see there were only certain countries used. Using only 20 countries is kind of misleading and a lot of countries' official charts have changed over the years (up until 2010, there was a Europe Hot 100 that combined like 12 countries in Europe's sales for a Hot 100).

 

Crazy In Love: 4 (Ireland, Scotland, UK, US)

Baby Boy: 2 (France, US)

Check on It: 2 (New Zealand, US)

Déjà Vu: 1 (UK)

Irreplaceable: 5 (Australia, Hungary, Ireland, New Zealand, US)

Amor Gitano: 1 (Spain)

Beautiful Liar: 15 (Belgium, Europe, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, UK)

If I Were a Boy: 9 (Brazil, Denmark, Netherlands, Europe, Israel, Italy, Norway, Sweden, UK)

Single Ladies: 2 (Brazil, US)

Diva: 1 (Brazil)

Halo: 3 (Brazil, Norway, Slovakia) 

Sweet Dreams: 1 (New Zealand)

Telephone: 14 (Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Europe, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Russia, South Korea, UK)

Best Thing I Never Had: 1 (South Korea)

Drunk in Love: 1 (Africa)

7/11: 1 (Belgium) 

Runnin': 1 (Scotland) 

Hold Up: 1 (Belgium)

 

Bills, Bills, Bills: 1 (US)

Say My Name: 2 (Australia, US)

Independent Women: 5 (Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand, UK, US)

Survivor: 3 (Ireland, Norway, UK)

Bootylicious: 1 (US)

Lose My Breath: 5 (Belgium, Europe, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland)

 

65 solo, 82 with Destiny's Child

 

So based on the 20 countries you included, Beyoncé's would be: 

 

United States: 9

Japan: 0

United Kingdom: 7

Germany: 1

France: 2

Australia: 2

Canada: 1

Italy: 3

Netherlands: 3

Sweden: 1

Spain: 2

Switzerland: 2

Belgium: 5

Austria: 0

Norway: 5

Denmark: 2

Finland: 1

Ireland: 6

New Zealand: 5

 

for a total of 57 (based on the countries you included)

They don't have official charts, unfortunately

I understand what you mean, however it's almost impossible to find chart positions for a lot of those countries (especially pre-digital era) and information can be inaccurate at times. And Scotland is already counted in the UK I don't see much point in adding it. I'm only using the 20 biggest markets with official charts for the sake of accuracy.

Perfect Illusion peaked at #39 on the main Spanish singles chart (and #1 on the downloads-only chart) 

The official chart is elportaldemusica (Promusicae) and the downloads only chart spanishcharts.com right?

It took a lot of time, but I managed to find all of Beyoncé's (including Destiny's Child). Also, while the OCC compiles Scotland's data, Scotland the country still has a separate chart from the U.K. 

 

Regardless, Beyoncé's number is still inaccurate even if you only include the 20 countries in the OP.

Wow most of the Pop Girls have a surprising number of number 1's in Canada.

Well she is an obvious exception. Madonna, Britney, Katy, Christina, Celine, Olivia NJ, Cher and J Lo all have more No.1's in Canada than anywhere else. 

[mike3009]

Shakira  Global queen.

 

Gaga and Rih 

How many does Taylor have? @Anticipating

How so? I just checked and it adds up to 34 #1s. Also, Baby Boy peaked at #8 in France, not #1 (x)

 

From the list you posted + using the countries in the OP

 

Crazy In Love: USA, UK, Ireland = 3

Baby Boy: USA = 1

Check On It: USA, New Zealand = 2

Deja Vu: UK = 1

Irreplaceable: USA, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand = 4
Amor Gitano: Spain = 1
Beautiful Liar: France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland, UK = 9 (it didn't peak at #1 in Belgium, Finland or Norway (x)
If I Were A Boy: (Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, UK = 5 (it peaked at #4 in Italy and not #1) (x)
Single Ladies: USA = 1
Halo: Norway = 1
Sweet Dreams: New Zealand = 1
Telephone: Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, UK = 5

 

= 34. It says 35 in the OP because she has three #1 singles in Spain but I can't figure out what's the third

 

Also, 7/11 and Hold Up peaked at #1 on the Belgian Ultratip chart, which is the equivalent of the Billboard Bubbling Under. Ultratop is the main chart. 

 

I can combine Bey + DC's #1 singles (35+17=52) if y'all want me to, but the information in the OP is pretty accurate
