Bey dominated headlines throughout 2016 thanks to performing at the Super Bowl, releasing her Lemonade movie/album, taking the stage at the BET Awards/VMAs /CMA Awards, collecting 9 Grammy nominations, and other newsworthy accomplishments.
The music superstar also topped Google’s list of most-searched songs of 2016.
“Formation” landed at #1 with the late Prince’s “Purple Rain” coming in second place.
Several rap acts saw their hits make the Top 5 as well.
Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles” is listed at #3, Desiigner’s “Panda” is listed at #4, and Drake’s “One Dance” is listed at #5.
All three songs spent time at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart at some point in 2016.
