You know damn right those two songs can't be compared since Telephone sold nearly 1m pure copies in the UK and went #1

 

DiL was released in the streaming era. It's like me saying "it's interesting how ARUTW, a non single has more streams than majority of Beyonce's singles"

 

Different eras, different criteria

Drunk In Love: Streaming Era

 

ROM was literally Gaga's fastest to reach the milestone but everyone and their mother knew it aint her biggest 

but congrats on outpacing it in the UK i guess

Crazy In Love went 3X Platinum in October 2021 and it was released in 2003 when single sales were dead

 

Also streaming didnt become included in the UK till July 2014. Drunk In Love had already peaked months before that

[WildAmerican]

why are beyonce fans so triggered by things like this?? 

 

congrats to these ladies on hitting a big milestone on the videos anniversary!

that means, CRAZY IN LOVE received crazy recurrent streams..

 

and again congrats to DIL on outpacing it in the UK I guess.. that doesnt change the fact that Telephone was Beyonce's last legit Global Smash

say #thankYouLadyGaga

Crazy In Love took 19 years to reach 3x Platinum, is that something you really wanna brag about. I- 

 

A few months don't make that big of a difference, it was fresh for the GP to stream it and only Beyonce song from that album that made any noise

 

Anyways, Billboard confirmed Telephone was Beyonce's biggest Hot 100 hit in the 2010s and for sure it was her biggest outside the US

and Telephone is eligible for 6x Platinum + with the recent revival on TikTok, it will eventually be eligible for 7x, so what is your point?

Telephone is on its way to 6x Platinum, and Telephone was much bigger WW than DIL. I'm not saying DIL was not a hit, it obviously is, Telephone is simply bigger.
