Although Beyoncé’s last three albums (4, Beyoncé, and Lemonade) were critically acclaimed and chart topping, she hasn’t had a number 1 song in the US since “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” in 2008.

On Monday, 11 December, “Perfect Duet”, the newly recorded version of Ed Sheeran’s single featuring Beyoncé, knocked Post Malone and 21 Savage’s “Rockstar” from the top spot, bumping Camila Cabello’s “Havana” to #3.

Ed Sheeran reacted to the good news on Instagram this morning:

 

Feels mad to say this, but I've had my second ever number one single in America, one at the start at the year, one at the end. What a year it's been. Thanks to Beyoncé for giving this new version a revamp, and thanks to everyone who's supporting it. You guys rule x

Sheeran’s “Shape Of You” was the #1 song on the Billboard chart this year in January, and stayed there for 12 non-consecutive weeks! Meanwhile, “Perfect Duet” is Beyoncé’s sixth #1 song as a solo artist.

We think Beyoncé owes Sheeran coffee for this!
