Rolling stones compiled a list of the 100 greatest songs of the century(so far) and Beyonce's Crazy In Love was named number 1!

1. "Crazy in Love," Beyonce feat. Jay-Z

2003 | COLUMBIA; Highest Chart Position: 1

“It has this go-go feel to it, this old-school feel,” Beyoncé said of her debut solo single. “I wasn’t sure if people were going to get it.” In fact, the funk-fire horn blasts that opened “Crazy in Love” heralded her arrival as the boldest superstar of the century, the diva who made everyone else’s splashiest gestures seem tiny. Producer Rich Harrison constructed the song’s blockbuster beat around a horn sample lifted from the Chi-Lites’ 1970 song “Are You My Woman? (Tell Me So),” but he kept it in the can until he found the right artist to record it. After warming to the beat, Beyoncé told Harrison to write a song around it, returning to the studio two hours later to knock out her vocals. “She’s got such a strong voice, your job is just to make sure nothing gets distorted,” recalls engineer Jim Caruana. The decision to add a verse from Jay-Z, whom she’d begun dating, came at the last minute. “I asked Jay to get on the song the night before I had to turn my album in,” Beyoncé said. “Thank God he did. It still never gets old, no matter how many times I sing it.”

The List was constructed by polling artist, critics, and industry insiders.

I disagree. That’s not even in my top 20 Favourite BEYONCÉ Songs. 

I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.

As a beehive I strongly disagree

It's even her best she have so much underrated songs, they could have choose Baby boy if they wanted a big Bey featuring hit, I think this song is too overshadowed by Crazy in love 

Same for Sweet Dreams with Single Ladies smh
