As Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong> Giselle Knowles-Carter turns 40 we celebrate<\/strong> the songs<\/strong> that have kept us crazy in love<\/strong> with her over the years.<\/h4>\n

For Millenials and those in Gen X and Z, it\u2019s hard to even imagine music<\/strong><\/a> without Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong>. Since making her debut with Destiny\u2019s Child in 1997 when she was just 16 years old, King Bey has been simply irreplaceable, running the world \u2014 and bringing her ladies into formation while doing it.<\/p>\n

As Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong> Giselle Knowles-Carter turns 40 we celebrate this iconic diva by ranking her 40 best songs<\/strong><\/span>. These are the tracks that have kept us crazy in love with Yonce since the \u201990s and leave us craving the next time she jumps in the studio.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Crazy In Love
The fanfare of those blaring horns (courtesy of a sick sample from the Chi-Lites) heralded the arrival of a new queen in 2003. Reigning at No. 1 for eight weeks \u2014 and still causing delirium on the dance floor every single time that the DJ drops that beat \u2014 this titanic Beyonc\u00e9 banger with boo-for-life Jay-Z<\/strong> was everything that the singer needed to fulfill her solo destiny.<\/p>\n

Formation
She took the hot sauce out of her bag and poured it all over this ferocious anthem that announced the arrival of Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong> 2.0 with its surprise 2016 release. (It dropped the day before her second Super Bowl halftime performance.) Celebrating<\/strong> both her Southernness and her Blackness, B goes hard for the ladies to join her in systematic salvage.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)
There\u2019s a \u201860s girl-group charm to that hand-clapping bounce, but this No. 1 smash is a thoroughly modern manifesto for bachelorettes everywhere: Seal the deal \u2014 or you just might get dealt to the side. Bonus points for the iconic video<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Irreplaceable
The acoustic guitars may suggest a sad breakup song, but there are no tears on this kiss-off. Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s longest-running solo No. 1, spending 10 weeks at the summit, it tells a cheating man exactly which way to get gone: \u201cTo the left, to the left.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Say My Name
Beyonc\u00e9 won the first two of her record 28 Grammys for Destiny Child\u2019s 1999 chart-topper, which put the fellas on notice about running any game on them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Run the World (Girls)
Behind a boombastic attack, complete with militaristic drums and what sounds like an army of Beyonc\u00e9s, this female empowerment anthem will not be stopped short of total global takeover. Witness the woman at her fist-pumping fiercest.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drunk in Love
Love? More like crazy in lust on this hypnotic banger that details just how much of a naughty girl Bey can be. An all-night escapade from the club to the kitchen, it finds her grinding, swerving and surfing all up on her gust-rapping hubby.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Freedom
This declaration of liberation from Lemonade \u2014 featuring no less than Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar \u2014 stomped all over the ghosts of Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s past in 2016. No longer was she willing to be beauty-pageant perfect, smiling and keeping it cute while steaming inside: The fire \u2014 and the freedom \u2014 was furiously unleashed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Love on Top
She played a Diana Ross-like character in Dreamgirls, but it was on this 4 bop that Beyonc\u00e9 really captured the silky essence of her girl-group-to-solo-superstar forebear. Miss Ross, though, could never blow like B on this old-school R&B jam.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Independent Women Part 1
This Charlie\u2019s Angels anthem for \u201call the mamas who profit dollars\u201d \u2014 which hit that No. 1 money for Destiny\u2019s Child in 2000 \u2014 is B\u2019s longest-running chart-topper on the Billboard Hot 100: 11 weeks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sorry
This unapologetic FU from 2016\u2019s Lemonade grabs its crotch while thrusting its middle finger in his face. She ain\u2019t sorry \u2014 not one lil\u2019 bit. Hell nah.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Partition
In the first half of this Beyonc\u00e9 track, a sexed-up Yonc\u00e9 flaunts her rap skills. The second half channels Erotica-era Madonna atop a thrusting bass line. This is Mrs. Carter at her edgiest and most explicit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Baby Boy
Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s 2003 No. 1 single with reggae star Sean Paul is made for grown-up grinding. No doubt, there were a bunch of baby boys \u2014 and girls \u2014 created after bumping along to this in the club.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bootylicious
Rocking a sample of Stevie Nicks\u2019 \u201cEdge of Seventeen,\u201d this fat-bottomed groove shook all that jelly straight to the top of the Billboard pop charts in 2001.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If I Were a Boy
One of her few hits that she didn\u2019t have a hand in writing, this folk-flecked ballad was nonetheless owned by Beyonc\u00e9. Stripping away all the diva attitude and revealing a vulnerable soul, it shows our goddess may be part human after all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hold Up
Sampling the \u201960s pop hit \u201cCan\u2019t Get Used to Losing You,\u201d Beyonc\u00e9 infused this Lemonade track with a double dose of hip-hop and R&B, turning it into a contemporary callout that would stop any bad boy in his tracks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Survivor
As Destiny\u2019s Child went through a gossipy revolving door, going from a quartet to a trio \u2014 welcoming Michelle Williams in the process \u2014 Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s girl group let all y\u2019all know on this 2001 smash that they weren\u2019t gon\u2019 give up. No way, no how.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Halo
The I Am \u2026 half of 2008\u2019s I Am\u2026 Sasha Fierce let B explore her pop side more than ever before, and this blissed-out ballad showcases the singer at her most angelic, floating through the heavens with a chorus that will never come down to earth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Get Me Bodied
For generations to come, there will be Black folks at cookouts, family reunions and wedding receptions dropping down low and sweeping the floor with it, doing the \u201cuh-oh\u201d and patting their weaves \u2014 whether they have one or not. All because of Beyonc\u00e9.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

03 Bonnie & Clyde
We already knew that Jay-Z was gangsta, but Bey showed that she was down to ride with Hov \u2014 and keep the getaway car running. And it\u2019s a theme of their ride-or-die romance that they\u2019ve kept living since this song announced them as that forever couple in 2002.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bill, Bills, Bills
Even as a teenager, Beyonc\u00e9 \u2014 a co-writer on this, the first No. 1 hit for Destiny\u2019s Child in 1999 \u2014 knew better than to tolerate a scrub with no dough.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Savage Remix
It was a case of game recognizing game when Beyonc\u00e9 gave her Houston homegirl Megan Thee Stallion the ultimate co-sign by jumping on the remix of \u201cSavage\u201d that took the song to No. 1 in 2020. The result, with a rapping B getting in touch with her most ratchet self, was also a Grammy-winning collab.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Check On It
Beyonc\u00e9 mixed it up with two different rappers \u2014 Slim Thug and Bun B \u2014 on two different versions of her 2006 No. 1 hit originally made for her movie The Pink Panther.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Me, Myself and I
A song from 2003\u2019s Dangerously in Love that spoke directly to \u201call the ladies,\u201d this track reminds us all of exactly we got in the end. You feel her?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Deja Vu
If it weren\u2019t for the insanity of 2003\u2019s \u201cCrazy in Love,\u201d this 2006 Bey and Jay joint might have gotten more love. But with its shades of Michael Jackson\u2019s Off the Wall \u2014 and off-the-charts chemistry between the two honeys \u2014 it may be one of the most underrated songs of Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s career.<\/p>\n
