tbh if i had to put a beyonce vid up there, i woulda put Countdown. i think the song along is fantastic as well, but the video is great
that said, from what i remember it largely borrowed /stole (without initial credit) from someone else so i didn't f*** w that
It's iconic cuz it went viral, that's it? - I guess no one is discussing that music video or even taking inspiration from it
Imo Crazy in love is more a beyonce staple than single ladies hence why normani chose to pay homage to it in her mv for motivation
And ofc ktt's resident beyonce stan wants to claim that no one cares about plagiarism lmao
The choreo is iconic.. it’s referenced in tiktok dances over 10 years later
It is the first prominent dance sensation on the internet/social media on a global level (crank dat by soulja was big in our communities tho)
The black leotard/black and white are memorable imagery
uh oh oh wrist flick lol
Crazy in Love is another iconic one

Don’t nobody give a f*** about no gah damn countdown ..it was forgettable and mfs let 4 (one of her best albums) flop.
some classic s***

crazy how you mention how formation has been her most awarded video of all time when kanye went on a rant saying she basically bought one of the awards for it
What cultural impact are you speaking of? The whole "woke" (for a lack of better term ) era in the middle of last decade is more thanks to kendrick lamar than anyone tbh
If he hadn't put out TPAB, lemonade wouldn't even look/sound the way it does but that's just my humble opinion
“ crazy how you mention how formation has been her most awarded video of all time when kanye went on a rant saying she basically bought one of the awards for it” -
He basically retracted his statements saying that those claims were something someone TOLD him.. I.E - he was in the midst of a breakdown and tweaking like a mf
Formation/Lemonade holds more cultural
Influence and impact on pop culture than any Kendrick video despite TPAB coming first.. we all have our opinions but simple research reveals the conversations, studies, classes, political debates, depictions/references in shows and even comic books that were all impacted by that era. It’s literally not a debate.
No 2ne1?
!https://youtu.be/j7_lSP8Vc3oEYYY, yeah a classic as well
this s*** was just off the top of my head lol

What are your sources?
They wrong for this bs ass list. Busta and Missy got better videos.
No Janet or Mike in the top 5

Idk where kanye retracted his statement when he said during the rant that someone told him (@ 6:30)
Yes he was in a mental breakdown around that tole but I don't think it made him delusional to the point we shouldn't take anything he says srsly

"Red Lobster's spokesperson Erica Ettori confirms to Billboard.
"We’ve been comping up since Formation was released and we saw a 33% increase in sales on Sunday," she says over e-mail about the spike, as first reported by CNN. "It’s clear that Beyonce’s shout out contributed to that. This is a real testament to the power of pop culture on business."
