Has the BBC verified this information though?

oh Poker Face, you will always be famous. Still her best written lyrics of her career imo.

How do you measure how big songs were before streaming though? Cause labeling something as "the biggest song of all time" is quite serious.

So Pokerface is bigger than Billie Jean, Dreams, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Rocket Man? Wow

Nobody brought up Madonna. Is it bigger than I Will Always Love You, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, etc?

You're smarter than this, you know we're not just talking about streaming. 

Your bitterness isn't even funny anymore

It's funny ow Poker Face has been called "dated", "a song that defined its release year", "aged like milk" by the OGH, yet it's still racking up the highest daily streams, second only to Hips Don't Lie

ATRL (OGH) is so out of touch with reality

Thanks, you just proved my point. Glad you posted those stats 

NP, I just wanted to help someone out who didn´t know about pure sales.

 

OT. Poker Face is not the biggest song of all time. But it´s the biggest female song of the 00s decade based on sales, streams and daily streams.
