Beyoncé And Jay-Z’s ‘Crazy In Love’ Hits A Billion Views

Jay-Z and Beyoncé have reached another major milestone with their iconic “Crazy in Love” music video.

The collaboration has officially joined the exclusive club of YouTube videos that have surpassed one billion views.

Other Beyoncé songs that have achieved this milestone include “Halo” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”

‘Crazy In Love’ Adds A Billion Views To Its Grammy-Winning Legacy

Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, have further cemented their mark on the music world, with their “Crazy in Love” video joining YouTube’s billion-view club.

The song debuted in 2003 as the lead single from Beyoncé’s debut solo album, “Dangerously in Love.” It quickly became one of the defining hits of her early career, thanks to her sonorous vocals and Jay-Z’s memorable rap verse.

At the time, it also topped charts in several countries. It was no surprise, then, that it earned three nominations at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards in 2004. It won Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration but lost out on Record of the Year.

The new additions include “Can I Watch You” featuring Pharrell, “Cuerpo (Tumbao)” with Maluma, and a Spanish-language rendition of “Irreplaceable.” The latter samples Selena’s 1992 classic “Como La Flor.”

Her husband cheers Beyoncé on as she continues to reach new milestones. Despite being a popular artist with several awards to his name, Jay-Z recently revealed that he still looks to his wife for inspiration.

“I’m super inspired by her,” he told Extra at the New York City premiere of his “Jay-Z in 8” documentary. “I think she’s a phenomenal producer and writer.”

He went on to describe his famous wife as “fearless” before showering her with more praise for her talents.

“She tries all kinds of stuff. Some things she does I’m like, ‘I couldn’t do that,’” he said. “She’s very adventurous, and her recall is amazing. She’s an amazing producer. I think because she’s such an extraordinary singer, people underrate her as a producer. She’s one of the best I’ve ever seen.”
