Beyoncé: artist of the decade
It was 10 years ago that Beyoncé Knowles announced herself to the world, with the Destiny's Child hit Independent Women. Since then the 28-year-old singerhas made the decade's best single, delivered the greatest live show on earth, sung for President Obama and emerged as our last true star.
Beyonce scored huge on Billboard’s Decade-End charts, coming in at #1 for Top Female Artist of the Decade and Billboard Hot 100 Airplay Artist of the Decade. Beyonce was #2 on the Hot Dance Club Songs Artist of the Decade and Hot 100 Artist of the Decade charts.
CIL peaked at #2 in Australia and Canada - plat in Australia and gold in the UK. The only areas it didn't do well in was France it went top 5 in nearly every country it charted in
"Doing well" is not the same as "huge worldwide classic smash". Rude Boy did well. Raise Your Glass did well. Those songs are CIL level globally.
it went top 5 in nearly every country it charted in
