"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" is a dance-pop and R&B song from Beyoncé's 2008 album I Am... Sasha Fierce. It topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and has been certified quadruple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and is one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. A black-and-white music video accompanied the single's release and won several awards, including the Video of the Year at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. The song and particularly its music video have been widely parodied and imitated.
Miss Piggy broke her leg during a rehearsal of the song, reproducing the dance moves in Beyoncé's original video, in The Muppets episode "Generally Inhospitable."
