I am not surprised that Beyonce’s Single Ladies grabbed the 2009 Song of the Year award. The songs theme and lyrics captures the essence of what’s been going on around the world lately and Women Empowerment is the thing!
Imagine this song ranked #1 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the Best 100 Singles of 2008[3] and number two on MTV‘s list of the Best Songs of 2008. The choreography-driven video achieved great success, prompting a legion of imitations and parodies, and, according to the Toronto Star, became known for starting the first major dance craze of the millennium and of the Internet.[4]
The song’s music video was nominated in nine categories for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and won three, including Best Choreography and Video of the Year. It also won Video of the Year at the 2009 BET Awards, the 2009 MOBO awards, and the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards. It won the Song of the Year at the 2009 Soul Train Awards, and won Song of the Year, Best R&B Song, and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 52nd Grammy Awards ceremony.[5]
“Single Ladies” is ranked as the number two Best Song of the Decade in Rolling Stone magazine’s Reader’s Poll.[6] The song appeared at number 50 on the magazine’s critics’ list of the 100 Best Songs of the Decade.“
