I'm guessing the limited availability had something to do with that placing

[Leo ✔]

I ranked hollywood that high ? Lol

[Sambalada]

I mean, we're supposed to rank a song that is literally not available everywhere.

I saved it in my laptop tho, I like how Beyoncé emphasise the chorus. Jay Z's verse is also outstanding.

The limited availability definitely put Hollywood at a distinct disadvantage. People were less inclined to listen to it and therefore were less familiar with it. Although, if people ranked it low because #fuckTidal, I have no problem with that.

Ok this one seriously deserved much better.

Although it isnt a Beyoncé song, so I am not surprised. But I still thought that it would be higher up list.

[Sambalada]

Never particularly cared for this song. The version with Beyoncé is good enough.

[aerodynamite]

I know this is the Beyoncé rankdown, meaning most of these songs are amazing, but come ON, guys.

[.indulgecountry]

Glad we're getting all the mediocre features out of the way up front because her solo songs >>>

This song is cute, probably deserved to be ten spots higher. Btw, I'm excited this is finally happening, classic ry4n presentation quality!
