Beyoncé, whose success on the dance charts dates back to Destiny’s Child’s “No No No Pt. 1” in 1997, first hit #1 as a solo artist on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with 2003’s “Crazy In Love.” She’s enjoyed three successive #1 Hot Dance Music/Club Play singles from I AM…SASHA FIERCE: “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” “Diva,” and “Halo” while a fourth single, the dance mix of “If I Were A Boy” peaked at #2 on that chart. Above and Beyoncé includes video clips and remixes of all four songs as well as videos and a remix, featuring Kanye West, of “Ego,” Beyoncé’s latest single.
