With a devotion to music that started she was just five years old, Beyoncé has been never missed a step. Once she reached her teens, Queen B has dominated the Billboard charts for the entire span of thirteen-years-and-counting career, first as part of '90s R&B group Destiny's Child, later with her husband Jay-Z, as a duet partner (with Justin Timberlake, Shakira and Lady Gaga), and most especially as a solo leading lady. And Beyonce is just closing out her twenties now! (Do the math and you realize she was on the charts at an age when most kids were going to the high school prom.) September 4 is Beyonce's 30th birthday - which, with her first child on the way is sure to be a wonderful year -- and in celebration of the doubly-momentous occasion, we've ranked the mommy-to-be's top 30 Billboard hits.
This chart of Beyonce's 30 biggest Billboard hits is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100. Songs are ranked using an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least.
