Which Beyoncé and Jay-Z song became their first joint number-one on the Billboard Hot 100?

The story behind the answer

“Crazy in Love” became Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s first joint number-one on the Billboard Hot 100.

Released in 2003, the song served as the lead single from Beyoncé’s debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. Beyoncé sings the main vocal, while Jay-Z contributes a rap verse. The recording prominently uses a horn sample derived from “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)” by the Chi-Lites.

The track reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and became one of Beyoncé’s defining songs. Its music video, featuring sharply choreographed movement and a distinctive red-and-white visual style, further strengthened its cultural impact.

The pair later recorded other collaborations, including “Drunk in Love” and “03 Bonnie & Clyde.” Those titles are plausible alternatives, but “Crazy in Love” was their first shared chart-topper.
