No. 30 = FlawlessWe are kicking off today's post with a song that is bound to get you dancing along! Flawless is one of those catchy songs that you just cannot help but love; every time it ever comes on, I am always singing along (as I do with most Beyonce songs to be honest). The only reason as to why this tune isn't higher is the fact that it doesn't feature any vocals that I would call 'ambitious' for Beyonce which I know she is capable of. I must also mention the remix of this song featuring Nicki Minaj as well as it is just as good as this one; go and give it a listen!
No. 29 = Ring The Alarm
This next song is such an aggressive one which is probably why I am such a fan of it considering you rarely witness Beyonce's aggressiveness. "Ring The Alarm" is also so catchy and gets me singing or dancing along every time. Similarly to the previous track though, the reasons to why this song is not higher up in my rankings is because it does not have many unbelievable vocals in comparison to some if Beyonce's over songs. This song is an absolute anthem though so you should really listen to it; trust me, you won't be disappointed!
No. 28 = Blow
"Blow", in my opinion, is such a unique Beyonce song as it sounds more like disco than any other genre, sounding like no other Queen Bey song! If you ask me, the song is not talked about enough which is actually why it may be so low, no one really gave it the recognition it deserves, maybe even because it is so different to the rest of Beyonce's material! Anyways, the song, like many others, is a very catchy one that always gets me bopping along so why don't you give it a try and listen? This song is amazing!
Next up we have a song that I expect you all would have heard before, which is actually why it is so low. "Halo" has all of the features of what I think is a 'perfect' song: catchiness, unbelievable vocals and a whole load of ad-libs; sadly the song is only at number 27 though as it has been massively overplayed since it's release in 2009, one thing which really makes me start to dislike a song. I still do love this song though and I would certainly say you should listen to it if you somehow have never done so.No. 26 = Blue
"Blue" is yet another song from Beyonce's self-titled album and I cannot express how much I love it! Sure, it may not have crazy vocals within it (which is possibly why it isn't higher) but this song is so emotional and I bet it is so sentimental to Queen Bey. The song is addressed to her daughter Blue Ivy (it even features her two-year-old voice at the end); the video may possibly be my all-time favourite Beyonce video! The song is also quite a catchy one so be prepared to sing-along when you listen to it and please do listen!
The next song in this post is one that I just have to sing-along to whenever I listen! "Me, Myself & I" is honestly such an underrated song and I honestly think that if it was released later (rather than her first album "Dangerously In Love"), the song would've had so much more success as it has so many features of a great song such as immense catchiness and some nice vocals; it is certainly one of my favourites from my queen's debut solo release! I bet this is a sing that you haven't listened to and if you haven't, make sure you do please.
No. 24 = Broken-Hearted Girl
Even though this song is from my least favourite Beyonce album (I Am Sasha Fierce), I cannot help but love it and its 'pop ballad' vibes. There are a few amazing things that I can say about this song; first of all, the vocals in it are absolutely breathtaking. Second of all, the song is so catchy and lastly, the song reminds me of the first time I saw Beyonce live as I've seen her live three times and the first time was the only time she performed this song. That is probably the reason to why I love it so much but it is still a great song that you need to listen to if you haven't already.No. 23 = Freedom
When Beyonce collaborates with Kendrick Lamar, You already know its going to be a great song and this song certainly proves that. Despite only being released last year, I already practically know all of the works in this song as it lyrics (including the rap) are so infectious. Beyonce's vocals are also amazing which you don't really hear in many of her upbeat songs (they're more typically heard in her ballads), making a lovely change. One last thing which I love about this song is the aggression that is let out by both of the artists as it lets you know that they mean every single word of the empowering song.No. 22 = Dance For You
The penultimate song in this post is definitely one of Bey's saucier numbers but it is her sultry voice that really sells this song and puts it so high on this chart. The song may be catchy and it may have some good vocals within it but throughout the song, Beyonce uses this other voice that I have never heard in her songs before, making me fall in love with it's diversity. I would seriously suggest giving this a listen as you may not have ever listened to it before, plus, its a song that you can always sing or dance along to.No. 21 = Hold Up
Finally, the song that is just missing out on a place in the top 20 is a track that is probably the catchiest in comparison to every other song in this post. I am also a massive admirer of the video and the aggression channeled within it, also, only Beyonce could pull off what she is wearing in it! The only reason why this absolute tune is not higher up in my chart is because the vocals may not be as desirable as some of her there material, although they still are quite something! Please listen to this song as soon as you can as I love it!
Although it seems like I have just been talking about songs forever, I cannot leave out the song of the week and this week it is the wonderful "Perfect Places" by Lorde. I have been falling in love with Lorde recently and this song clearly contributes to that! The song is quite happy and light-hearted (which is different to Lorde's usual music) and is also incredibly catchy like the rest of her "Melodrama" album which came out today, meaning you need to listen to it!
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed today's post. Next week I shall be uploading another "Artist Showcase" post regarding Mura Masa, an artist who I have loved for a while now; get excited!
