EveryBeyonce songis a dance song in the right circumstances.
(Beyonce has gone on to top the chart 21 more times.)
But its the throwback funky percussion and four-on-the-floor chorus that makes Crazy in Love a dance favorite.
And of course, that springy beat makes it impossible for listeners to stay still.
Thats what helps Green Light make the cut here.
What more do you need?
It was all pretty far outside Beyonces comfort zone at the time, but she still runs the show.
Forget that title this is one for the club.
Telephone (2009)
As for the Beyonce song all overAmericanclubs at the turn of the decade?
Thatd be Telephone, her collaboration with an up-and-coming dance-pop artist named Lady Gaga.
Its a song about how Beyonce just does it better and she proves it right on this track.
Haunted (2013)
Sure, it might be difficult to dance to Haunted.
It works fantastically on this song, an 80s throwback all the way down to the accompanying roller-rink visual.
(Once again, thank Pharrell, an expert in retro-tinged pop.)
Cant you see the hand-waving and ass-smacking already?
One of the loosest songs from a notorious perfectionist, 7/11 had a music video resembling a viral clip.
(The sample from NOLAs own Big Freedia preceded her feature on Break My Soul.)
That response can even transform a song not explicitly created for dancing, like Mazes Before I Let Go.
Childish Gambino actually puts the songs mission best: Ancestors in my step / Now I move better.
