I'm sorry but Kelly is not established or has a sustainable career outside Destiny's child.

 

The answer to this question is Dilemma tho.

[Unusualyou]

Dilemma was bigger but Crazy in Love is the more remember 

[Valance]

CIL is better that's for sure

Kelly's career was a total flop outside dilemma and the guetta feature. Plus Geri and Mel C say hi

Kelly had Dilemma, Stole, Like This, Work, When Love Takes Over, Commander, Motivation . Her last album Talk a Good Game (10 years after her debut) still peaked inside Billboard top 5. 

[Erreur2 La Nature]

I feel like Dilemma was the bigger song. Though CIL is more remembered nowadays I think and a bigger classic in the end.

I give point to Mel C

About Geri: didnt she already flop in 2005 (6 years after her debut album) ? Does she have any global song like Dilemma, WLTO ?

having solo hits in europe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> being a feature act in a coupe hits

 

its raining men was huge

 

 

[Armani?]

Idk, it's pretty close.

 

It depends on Apple Music tbh

 

Dilemma is HUGE on YouTube & Crazy In Love has a healthy lead on Spotify

[Polgg48]

one is local one is global, pick a struggle

[znake]

Dilemma is a classic

That's only thanks to Bey's career. The artists who stay relevant longer make their songs stay relevant longer too.

Yes. Point still stands 

[magazine]

Don't know what a Dilemma is, so i'll choose CIL 

[Mr. Duff]

I actually like both songs but I think I lean more towards Crazy in Love. Dilemma is special though, it's a great smooth song.

Kelly had Dilemma and When love takes over(in europe). And none of the two are her own songs.

 

She has no other hit appart from those.

 

And don't get me wrong, I love her, I feel like she has been neglected and mistreated all of her career, but in all honesty.. she has no career outside destiny's child.

Dilemma easily. 10 week #1 in the US and global smash throughout the world

 

CIL is a slightly bigger recurrent hit, but Dilemma was still bigger overall

[Fleahive]

Idk why yall are acting like dilemma is still bigger. It went semi viral recently due to TikTok trend but crazy in love is inescapable. I don’t think I’ve heard dilemma out in public one time in my entire life.

Their daily streams (Spotify+Youtube) are pretty close despite Beyonce being much more active and Dilemma still has the higher total by far.

Dilemma was also much bigger at the time so it easily wins.

idts. Crazy In Love would still be seen as an acclaimed smash even if solo Bey ended up being a 1 album wonder. Her growing status throughout the years just magnified the already hit status of the song.

Dilemma was only slightly bigger overall, even abroad. Not sure why some of y'all are acting like Crazy In Love was a moderate success or only known in the states to begin with. Were any of you alive and following popular music in 2002-2003??? lol

Commercially, it's Dilemma by a small margin but because this is ATRL, a place that loves to downplay Beyoncé's massive success, here are some STATS.

Top 5 in 15 countries

Crazy In Love

#1 in 6 countries (with 8 weeks at the top of the Billboard HOT 100)
