Originally posted by Ascension They acknowledge both, but for their official chart records they count the solo statistics only. Bey does have 9 #1 singles in her career, however only 5 of those would be acknowledged for that particular BB record.

Originally posted by Ascension No, she's not. Bey recorded that alone for the Pink Panther soundtrack and it was not used; they threw it on DC's greatest hits album as a new track which led to the confusion and subsequent myth about it being a DC song. Here is the song with the isolated vocals. It's just Bey in the verses and layered on the background.

Well I'd argue for those cases as well. Don't get me wrong I'm not being a blind stan that just wants more numbers. If anything, as Hive you have to get used to Beyoncé sabotaging herself when it comes to singles.


But what you're saying to me is that all the energy and work that Beyoncé put into Destiny's Child right now counts for nothing? And it still doesn't explain why people who are featured on the song would reap the benefits of the song's success, but Beyoncé who was not only featured on the song but did like 90% of it would not?

It just makes no sense.
