I remember in a interview 10 years ago bey stated she added DIL to her debut becuz Dil got lost on the survivor album. Ppl wanted the singles & emotions & brown eyes suited it better and those ballads also outshined dil. You can argue with these people based on Drake’s recent success. But, let’s not forget he just saw his first solo #1 in 2016. Beyonce’s name has been attached to #1 singles since “Say My Name”- 2000 – 3 weeks “Independent Women”-2001 -11 weeks “Bills Bills Bills”-1999 – 2 weeks Bootylicious-2001-3 weeks Crazy In love-2003- 8 weeks “Baby Boy”-2003 – 9 weeks “Check On it”-2006 -5 weeks “Irreplaceable”-2006- 10 weeks “Single Ladies”-2008 – 5 weeks 56 weeks at number one ! If you’re going to argue Rihanna’s #1s that include features on other’s songs, you can’t discredit Beyonce from Destiny’s Child. That’s 9 #1 singles and 56 weeks at the top of Billboard Hot 100. We can add in a slew of top 5 singles.
