Beyoncé has said that she can tell upon first listen whether or not a song will become a hit.
The 'Best Thing I Never Had' singer claimed that she has a special talent when it comes to picking tracks which will do well commercially, though she admitted that those songs are not always are favorites.
Beyoncé told Complex: "I've found that with hit records the melody and lyrics come together [naturally]. I usually know from the hook if the song is something that transcends language, race, and genre, and if it's something that affects pop culture.
"It's something I can visualize people singing in stadiums all over the world. But my favorite songs on my albums are usually not my singles."
Beyoncé also praised husband Jay-Z's musical talents, adding: "Jay's music is more than music. His lyrics have fathered generations. All that he has overcome gives millions so much hope."
"“I have an authentic, God-given talent, drive, and longevity that will always separate me from everyone else. I’ve been fortunate to accomplish things that the younger generation of queens dream of accomplishing. I have no desire for anyone else’s throne. I am very comfortable in the throne I’ve been building for the past 15 years.”
“I’ve found that with hit records the melody and lyrics come together [naturally],” she explains. “I usually know from the hook if the song is something that transcends language, race, and genre, and if it’s something that affects pop culture. It’s something I can visualize people singing in stadiums all over the world. But my favorite songs on my albums are usually not my singles.”
..does not mean "I know if a song is going to become a hit"
First of All Beyonce has stated Many of Times Run The World (Girls) was a risk she didn't run to the BIG prod. like others have done and some still failed with singles and album wise. When you take a risk sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
