Hector Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 Today, the Official Charts Company is happy to present Beyoncé's updated Official Top 40 biggest songs in the UK, to celebrate the release of Break My Soul. Before we reveal the Top 40 in full, however, here's a closer look at the Top 5: 5. Irreplaceable Released: 2006 Official Singles Chart peak: Number 4 Official UK chart sales: 1.3 million Combined UK streams: 94.7 million To the left, to the left! The biggest hit from Beyoncé's sophomore record B'Day, Irreplaceable was co-written by Ne-Yo and has since served as a handy starting point for anyone ever wanting to move their ex's stuff out of their house. It's Bey's fourth most-streamed song in the UK overall - with plays in excess of 94 million. 4. Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) Released: 2008 Official Singles Chart peak: Number 7 Official UK chart sales: 1.4 million Combined UK streams: 73.6 million 2008 was a big year for Beyoncé, who launched her ambitious third album I Am...Sasha Fierce with two double-A side singles, to reflect the duality of its parents album (split between Bey and her fiery alter-ego Sasha). Single Ladies' success is hinged on its unbelievably simple premise, and several easy to follow dance routines (you've done the hand wiggle in the club before, don't lie). With 1.4 million chart sales and counting to its name, this emancipation anthem is Bey's fourth most popular in the UK. 3. If I Were A Boy Released: 2008 Official Singles Chart peak: Number 1 Official UK chart sales: 1.5 million Combined UK streams: 81 million The demure mirror reflection of Single Ladies, If I Were A Boy sees Beyoncé firmly in mid-tempo ballad mode. Her fourth UK Number 1 single, If I Were A Boy is the only chart-topper from Bey with a solo credit. It has 1.5 million combined chart sales to its name, as well as 81 million streams. It's also Beyoncé's biggest-seller on digital downloads, with 815,000 units. 2. Crazy In Love (ft. Jay Z) Released: 2003 Official Singles Chart peak: Number 1 Official UK chart sales: 1.9 million Combined UK streams: 146.3 million Now this is how you kickstart a solo career (for those of you screaming that Work It Out is Beyoncé's actual debut single...not now). Channelling boundless energy and a spring in her step, Beyoncé made it clear from the off - she was a superstar pop artist, and deserved to be treated as such. Hooking up with future husband Jay Z, Crazy In Love set a frantic template that many other artist try, and fail, to emulate today. Crazy In Love is Beyoncé's second-biggest single in the UK; with over 1.9 million chart sales to its name - including 267,000 physical copies - and a mammoth 146 million streams. Now, everyone: uh-oh-uh-oh.... 1. Halo Released: 2008 Official Singles Chart peak: Number 4 Official UK chart sales: 2.1 million Combined UK streams: 158.7 million If you've ever been lucky enough to attend a Beyoncé concert, you'll know Bey loves to end on this emotional semi-ballad co-written by Ryan Tedder, the emotional centrepiece of I Am....Sasha Fierce. So it's no surprise that the roadblock that is Halo is officially Beyoncé's official biggest song in the UK. It trumps its nearest competition, with over 2.1 million chart sales to its name, and the most streams of any Beyoncé track - an amazing 168 million. The only surprising fact? It never got to Number 1, having to settle instead for Number 4.

Otter Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 Drunk In Love being bigger than telephone, her last supposed hit in the UK
Armani? Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 Drunk In Love being her last 2X Platinum hit there, we love to see it Hold Up deserved better, it has a long way to Platinum since it was unavailable to stream
Klein Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 The Drunk In Love/Telephone situation just goes to show that peaks don't matter.
Bey_Rihstan Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 Wait Crazy In Love’s numbers are kinda impressive

HereInMyHead Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 Why does it say 'N/A' for Me, Myself and I? That single peaked at 11. Anyway, great to see Love on Top in the Top 10 as it should be.
abeille Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 Drunk In Love above Telephone BTNIH being on par with it

Anyway, great to see Love on Top in the Top 10 as it should be. it should be so much higher on this list. One of her career highlights Interesting to see the streaming impact on newer songs with much lower peaks...Check On It was way bigger than many of the songs above it. Felt like a huge hit at the time. Glad to see Halo and CIL where they should be though
OrgVisual Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 But I was told Telephone is Bey's last hit in the UK? Halo a classic
Likingstars Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 Wow so DrIL >>>> Telephone?? Guess I’ve been lied to multiple times.
