Legend.
Really?
The girl is a beast, and like I said she was the OVERALL Artist Of The Decade career wise, those boys only topped her because she waited to go solo.
So Wait. Beyonce was the last Female Artist to hold the #1 spot for 10 weeks or more?
What other female from this generation even has that type of staying power? Don't forget Baby Boy spent 9 weeks at the top, and Crazy In Love spent 8 weeks at the top. She entered the All Time List with only five #1 singles.
Actually, Beyoncé has always been the lead singer, so we can remove that note.
