I don't think she's the only MPG without a bad lead single (I would argue Madonna qualifies too, and yes, GMAYL was iconic), but yeah, Bey's were definitely amazing. The double lead single release from Self-Titled was particularly great, and I also think the way she turned Run The World into a classic in the public consciousness through her sheer willpower, despite its relative lack of chart success, was simply legendary.

why are some of yoll hating on RTW (Girls)... I love it, it's such a bop

Posted

Some of these are fine at best.  
 

Also…Rihanna? If you think these Beyonce songs are good then you need to give it to Ariana too. Also Adele?

Run the world was received so poorly because the beat was already so popular and unchanged.

 

britneys AI version of Break My Soul > and that how you know it’s rough

With the exception of RTW, yes. That song was so beneath her as an artist.

Not when Run the World (Girls) and Break My Soul exist

Run the world is awful.

Posted

RTW is one of the most iconic songs ever but I will agree it’s slightly above mid. The rest of Beyoncé’s leads are some of the best songs ever released.

if i were a boy and run the world… :deadbanana4:

some of y’all still hate break my soul? that’s a banger

To be honest her lead singles aside from Crazy in Love and Deja Vu are all underwhelming :rip:

 

If I Were a Boy and XO are cute, okay I’ll give them that. But RTW, BMS and Formation are all just underwhelming tracks that sound like songs Little Mix or Fifth Harmony would release.

Oh if RTW didn’t exist :duck:

Run the world is the weakest of this bunch.  
 

her leads ranked by era, imo: 

 

1. Dangerously in Love - crazy In love 

2. IASF - SL/IIWAB

3. Renny - BMS 

4. Lemonade - Formation (would be higher if released correctly) 

5. ST - XO/DrIL (XO weighs this down a ton for me) 

6. Bday - Deja VU 

7. 4 - RTW (terrible leading single for an amazing album, doesn’t represent the album or project at all like I get it brand wise but album/era wise it literally doesn’t make sense.) would’ve been a cute single for the deluxe edition.  :eli:

Run The World, If I Were A Boy and Break My Soul are all mid tracks that had no business being leads, but okay :redface:

and both came with the even better Drunk in Love and Single Ladies.

If I Were a Boy is a touch overhated but um... kinda invalidates the title.

 

The rest of her leads are great at worst though!

Posted

Yes, and with the exception of Crazy In Love they’re not even the best song in the corresponding album. 
 

Deja Vu can go choke though.
