What was the name of Beyoncé’s first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100?

“Crazy in Love” was Beyoncé’s first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100.

Released in 2003 as the lead single from Dangerously in Love, the song features rapper Jay-Z and was produced by Rich Harrison and Beyoncé. Its famous horn sample comes from “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So),” recorded by the Chi-Lites in 1970.

The track reached number one in the United States and the United Kingdom. Its energetic brass arrangement, dance-focused video, and vocal interplay between Beyoncé and Jay-Z helped establish her solo identity after Destiny’s Child.

“Crazy in Love” earned two Grammy Awards in 2004: Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. It is sometimes confused with “Baby Boy,” another Dangerously in Love single, which also reached number one but followed “Crazy in Love” on the chart.
