Pop superstar Beyoncé has rocketed to the #1 slot on the Billboard Dance Single Club Play chart with “Diva,” the latest single from her best-selling I AM…SASHA FIERCE album.
Released as a digital download and CD single on January 20, 2009, “Diva” has already been certified as a Gold ringtone by the RIAA.
Cowritten and produced by Beyoncé, the irresistibly hypnotic dance track provocatively redefine “Diva” as the “female version of a hustla.”
After reaching #5 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, “Diva” shot up the Hot 100 to #19, earning Beyoncé her 16th Top 20 single. A genuine crossover success, “Diva” has reached #2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, #3 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and #19 on the Billboard Hot 100.
“If I Were A Boy,” the first single from I AM…SASHA FIERCE, held down the #1 spot on the Billboard/iLike digital chart for 16 straight weeks, the longest run in the history of the chart.
