As we eagerly await Beyoncé’s next move – Act III perhaps following Act I’s Renaissance and Act II’s Cowboy Carter? – we’re looking back at the artists who’ve appeared on her full-length studio albums. With eight to her name, Beyoncé has officially featured more than 30 different collaborators. Sometimes she keeps it in the family – see her multiple collabs with husband Jay-Z and her tracks featuring daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter – other times, she highlights upcoming artists like Shaboozey, who joined her on her latest album and then found huge solo success himself.
For the collaborations listed below, she’s earned 14 Grammy nods, winning five of them: best R&B song and best rap/sung collaboration for “Crazy in Love” with Jay-Z from her debut solo album Dangerously in Love; best R&B performance and best R&B song for “Drunk in Love,” again with her husband off of her self-titled LP; and best country duo/group performance with Miley Cyrus for “II Most Wanted” from Cowboy Carter.
It’s important to note: We’re solely counting songs on her solo studio albums; remixes like “America Has a Problem” with Kendrick Lamar or cuts from her soundtrack to The Lion King don’t make the list. Neither do her joints on other albums that are not her own (sorry to the exceptional “Savage Remix” with Megan Thee Stallion).
From fellow A-Listers like Post Malone, Cyrus and The Weeknd to icons like Linda Martell, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton, scroll through all the artists who have collaborated with Beyoncé on her solo studio albums below.
