While it doesn't have the same life as viral hits that are terrible like Friday, it's definitely not done yet and it has legitimate credibility as a song, which could possibly extend its life as a viral hit past Friday and others.
Better composition, catchier tune, stronger beat, the lyrics have actual meaning, the video is one of the best social parodies made recently. Its better in every single way, shape or form.
Haha....I'm pretty sure Crank Dat is bigger. A billion views pre-Bad Romance. Unimaginable.
One song was #1 in one country. The other has been #1 in dozens of country. If you want to make the argument that CT was bigger IN THE US, okay, it's an interesting argument. Worldwide? Not a chance.
