base talk Telephone out streaming Single Ladies, why?

[jijie101]

Telephone  588,071,875 (+349,962)

 

Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) 577,712,757(+273,170)

 

I was told Telephone was forgotten and not even Beyonce's top 10 most remembered songs, what happened? Did talent win in the end?

[sunbathinganimal]

Single Ladies is one of Bey's worst singles

[GraceRandolph]

I was told Apeshit was more iconic than Telephone though.

[punisher]

because a higher amount of people played telephone 

[Ratviolo]

Do we really need to do this

[Steve Johnson]

SL is extremely dated, aged horribly.

Ok

[vale9001]

Causa Gaga is touring right now so of course people get back to her catalog. 

[MonsterNavy]

yall seriously need to stop with these random bey vs gaga threads everyday

[Axelios]

Beyonce recurrent streams in general aside from Halo are tragic. Even for her recent hits like BMS

[Power love]

Telephone has two mega stars while the other one has one that’s why

[Kodak Energy]

Both are massive hits that have incredible streams for someone that’s been smashing since the 90s. 

 

-Telephone had a cute viral moment on tiktok last year that boosted its recurrent streams.
 

-It’s a major female collaboration between two massive A list legends, so it stands out in both of their discographies. See CRTFY, bang bang over-performing in recurrent streams compared to their initial runs. 

 

-Single Ladies is more memorable for its video so people would probably stream it on YouTube or AM instead. 

One of these reasons I guess

[Danixoxo]

both are huge hits of course but single ladies was so overplayed that it’s actually one of bey’s most dated singles

 

[Apolonio ₃₄]

It’s 2023. Who the hell cares? 

[ugo]

maybe she should re record it because it sounds a big dated

[Diocles]

Because Gaga 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

Beyoncé’s back catalog is so NOT in demand. Even despite being on tour 

 

 

[whitehotforever]

[babyforlife]

[LVP]

[illia]

Wait I didn't know people hated Single Ladies  It's such a cool song

[Punky Rooster]

Telephone is one of Gaga’s 2 good singles, whereas Single Ladies is the weakest from the I Am album… easy answer.

+ Beyoncé herself doesn’t seem to be a fan of Single Ladies. She hasn’t performed it on her last three tours. She did it twice at Coachella though. Any boost that her current tour would have, it’s not likely to have an impact on Single Ladies
