Two of the most impactful singles of the last decade.

Radio plays aren't everything, though. WFL doesn't have cultural impact.
What is constituting a hit OP? Because both Lady Gaga and Beyonce have multiple singles that have outsold We Found Love :\ , including the one that they worked together on.
Everyone has forgot about We Found Love, even Rihanna.
Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy" comes very close. Top 10 in 25? countries, #1 in several. "Beautiful Liar" was also HUGE. But neither of those songs charted in as many countries as We Found Love did. Different world now than it was 5 years ago, so I'm not sure it's fair to compare Bey's older songs.
Lady Gaga has Pokerface.
Sales are another story... Beyonce has bigger selling singles. Like Crazy in Love, Single Ladies, Irreplaceable, etc. So does Gaga.
