BnPac Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 SL would’ve done it first had her team not deleted it. But Halo is a nice little boring girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Deserved! Annoying that "Single Ladies" actually would've done this first, but "Halo" has become such a staple hit for her that I'm glad it's reached this milestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(After which the unlisted Formation vid and the smaller 7/11 video can be deleted) Is that too much to ask?

Bacardo Royale Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 You Belong With Me crossed a billion views and Single Ladies still hasn't.

It was uploaded before Vevo and accrued hundreds of millions of views (sources vary of the exact amount), it was then deleted and re-uploaded onto her (then new) Vevo account. Losing all the views it already had during it's peak. Edited March 28, 2020 by MrLovett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? @Nemo What happened? because aside from queen/BH all of those rock songs are by bands with only a couple classics, while michael has at least like 10. daily averages: michael jackson: 3.5m guns n' roses: 1.8m nirvana: 1.3m link park:3.7m please stay on topic now speaking of mj, her tribute performance actually happens to be my favorite rendition of her live performances of halo still to this day: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
