First gracing the airwaves in 2009 – the year I started university – “Halo” reminds me of my (shared) first-year room and getting over the first boy I ever fell for. It’s hard to imagine the concept working quite as well for any other artist – from early Destiny’s Child to Lemonade, floor fillers (“Baby Boy”, “Déjà Vu”) to ballads designed to be belted (“Irreplaceable”, “If I Were A Boy”), her music is the perfect soundtrack for the euphoric highs and oddly emotional lulls that seem to accompany every night out. It’s one of those rare albums I’ll listen to from start to finish, but if I was forced to pick a favourite track, I’d choose “Sorry”. Only Queen Bey could unleash a revenge track with a lyric that instantly became part of the pop culture vernacular (“Becky with the good hair”), and throw in a video cameo from a twerking Serena Williams to boot. “End Of Time” is a classic track, but “Countdown” holds the number-one spot in my personal 4 hierarchy. When I say that I scream my lungs out to this song, I’m not exaggerating: it’s emotional, has the ultimate crescendo, and is the perfect way to enhance a boring journey. “Listen” is my go-to track.
