From ‘Crazy in Love’ to ‘Drunk in Love,’ ‘Irreplaceable,’ and more, Beyonce‘s solo discography is jam-packed with two decades worth of megahits.  But, to the surprise of many, it’s the 2009 power ballad ‘Halo‘ that leads the pack on many fronts.

Found aboard her 2008 chart-topping album ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce,‘ the Ryan Tedder-penned tune may not have topped the Hot 100 at the height of its popularity (#5 peak) but  it’s certainly won the race in the long run.

Beyond enduring critical acclaim, its 9x Platinum standing (for sales of 9 million in the United States) ties it with album-mate, ‘Single Ladies,’ as her personal best commercial performer to date.

Previously her longest-running hit on the Hot 100, the refreshed edition of the hitlist shows ‘Halo’ now sharing that title as well.

Despite the absence of an accompanying music video or full-on promotion, ‘Cuff It’ – found aboard the 2022 chart-topping LP ‘Renaissance’ – has not only quietly become one of the biggest hits of the last year but also one of Bey’s biggest overall.

Sitting at #22 on the updated Hot 100 (nearly 8 months after its unveiling), The Dream-produced bop’s latest appearance marks the 31st week it’s been printed on the hitlist.  The only other solo Bey song to boast as long of a stay is ‘Halo,’ which lived on the chart from February to September 2009.

If ‘Cuff It’ manages to remain linked to the Hot 100 for just one more week it will own the title of longest-charting solo Beyonce song by its lonesome.

Among all Bey titles (solo or otherwise), the Lady Gaga-led ‘Telephone‘ rings in first place of the 41-year-old diva’s longest-charting hits as it remained on the Hot 100 for 33 weeks.
