Although she frequently collaborates with other producers and writers, she often takes on the role of executive producer—guiding the creative process, selecting and refining elements from multiple contributors, and shaping the final sound of her records.
Her production credits are backed by a remarkable track record. Beyoncé broke out as a solo artist in 2002 and has since achieved nine Hot 100 No. 1 hits as a solo artist. These include iconic releases such as Crazy in Love, Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), and Irreplaceable. Moreover, she has shown consistent chart success across formats, topping nine distinct Billboard multi-metric charts, such as Hot Country Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Dance/Electronic Songs, Hot Gospel Songs, Hot Latin Songs, and more.
Her placement is especially notable because she is the only woman in the top 10 producers list—an industry where production roles have historically been male-dominated.
