Two forgotten Hot 100 no.1s from 2 of the biggest 2000s pop female artists.
SOS was Rihanna's first ever Hot 100 No. 1, but somehow, the follow up single, the no. 6 peaking Unfaithful feels more remembered.
Check On It was Beyonce's 3rd solo Hot 100 no. 1, taken from Destiny's Child greatest hits and also served as Pink Panther theme song. Later, the song was buried by the monster hit, Irreplaceable from the same year.
Which one do you prefer?

"SOS" is still a bop. I never really cared for "Check On It," but it's not bad, either.

At the time, I would've picked SOS...to me SOS seemed huger than Check On It.
SOS brings back memories of being a kid and Check On It is one of my favorite Beyonce songs.
I can't choose with this one...

Hard for me to choose. Both great bops and take me back to my senior yr in high school.

SOS is always better. Among Rihanna's early bops, I even prefer SOS, compared to Pon De Replay, DSTM, Disturbia, even Umbrella.
However, Check On It (and Deja Vu) are definitely too underrated among Beyonce's early catalogs.

"SOS" is very easily the better of these two, IMO.

"Check on It" is cute, but it's always been inferior to "SOS." Back in 2006 when both were prominent #1 hits? Yep. In 2022 when like no one is checking for these long forgotten hits surpassed by their artist's respective catalogs? Yep.

SOS for sure. That song played a crucial part in the start of electropop

SOS is easily winning...
COI is one of rare things when you can say "Beyonce" and "underrated" in the same sentence.
I believe Beyonce stated she didnt really like COI

It’s always funny to me she played Check On It during her Coachella set but payed some other songs from that era dust, even the big singles from Sasha Fierce. I love it to this day.

Difficult to choose like others have said, but "SOS" is a bit catchier/more memorable to me.

Check On It has that BOUNCE. SOS is peak Rihanna pop fodder that I hate.

"S.O.S." - the sample of "Tainted Love" is phenomenal!
